F#$^ing Leaks...

F%^king over these leaks.. first it was radiator. then thermostat .. then waterpump. then radiator spout and now last but not least. im still having cooling problems.. this time all my coolant is leaking into the passenger side floor. this has been a very expensive 3months for my car seems like a chain reaction going on ..

now i assume this means new heater matrix.. thats why my heating aint so good..
can someone please confirm that for me ? or could this be to some piping maybe in the engine bay or something?
input please if someone has an answer
cheers guys ..

Just pluck the 2 heater hoses off the firewall in the engine bay & join 'em together. Problem solved.

Sounds like the previous owner wasn't one for the occasional coolant flush...

The dome can be used for other things further down the track

no the heater core is leaking. the heater hoses are the 2 hoses that go from the engine into the firewall. on the passanger side at the top

Oh, sorry, you said don't laugh...

Nah, they are like a little radiator - and If your cooling system is as bad as you say, then chances are the matrix will be corroded to the sh*t house. Dwayne may have one, but they are a c**t to swap out. Half the dash needs to come out to get at it.
