Water leak problem.
-> 206 Problems

Got water leaking from where the arrow is pointing.
How do I take this box apart so I can investigate further?
It seems like its a few clips holding it together but when I pull on the clips, the box won't budge.
Help!

stick some rad seal in your car.
If it works its a cheap fix!
Did on mine!

Have a look and see if it's an o ring on the supply or return pipes causing the leak.

 


If not then you'll need to drain the system down and disconnect the pipes in order to remove the matrix

Any ideas on how to unlock the clips holding the twin pipes and the black box together?
I've just been out trying to unclip the thing but nothings working.

you pull the clips up and pull the matrix out like this......

 

 


so if it leaking from behind that plate it will need new matrix i would say,

if its comming from bottom of the two pipes were they join, might just need new rubbers on joints, in the joint pictured here......
