hi i have to change my heater matrix in my 2.1 lx none ac has anyone done one b4 ive done one in a 306 and that was a pain in the ars

Not sure on the 406s but ive done the Matrix s on 405s, there a bastid
if the 406 is simalar, it will be a Dash out job, not fun

lol thats what i was thinking but i think the 405 is like the 306 its right at the bk i think the 406 its at the front

H@ynes says remove glove box, no mention of dashboard Demolition

Thanks

oops that snip i put ups not showing the full page,
iwill have another try

Ah bollacks

feckin snipin tool is shite,

Good olde H@ynes mentions some destruction methods,

trimming off a bracket, so perhaps a hacksaw might be needed

Is it leaking or just blocked?

If it's just blocked is it possible to swap the inlet/outlet pipes round, this can sometimes clear any crap out of the matrix and then dump the coolant and give it a flush.

nah the car is like a pool ive been putting it off all over christmas

I've done this before. Proper way is a dash out job. But it should also be possible to do it just by removing the passenger side floor console side panel, glovebox and the plastic housing behind the glovebox.
This plastic housing is the one that causes headache, because it is secured to the dash by screws from behind.
I found it very very hard to access and remove 2 of the screws that are closest to the aircon system housing.
Some people took shortcut by cutting away the portion where the screws are. So I guess it's your choice whether to do that.
