Changing heater matrix

[dstocks]

Have done it at least 10 times now in FTO's ive owned and never had a problem. Have taken out a LOT more than that, but they dont go back in. Theres nothing really tricky about it as long as you plug everything back in its fairly straight forward.

dstocks want to come install the pipes i bought off you still havent put them in
and its frezzin at 6am when i drive home from work
might get around to it this week if im feeling better ( sick as a dog )

I know what you are saying. Have been crook for over a month now myself. Last thing you feel like doing under those circumstances is work on a car. Had 4 different cars off the road within 2 week period during that and its the worst.

She LIVES!!!!!

Finally heating - took me 30 miniutes to remove the dash, 1.5 hours to change the heater matrix without degassing the aircon, and then 2 hours to replace the water pipes in the engine - woooooooooo.

Just gotta do tappets tomorrow, thanks for the help guys.

congrats mate .. nice effort doing it yourself tappets are a whole other kettle of fish though..

@ DStocks .. you're probably the one person on here with such a massive mechanical knowledge of FTO's - just not how to put things back on

Nah, I defer to bennoz for most stuff. Taking things out and putting them back (other than engine stuff), im not bad as ive done it a few times. Anything to do with analysing engine issues, im still pretty crap.

Bit of a bugger of a job isnt it...... Glad it all worked out for you.
