was bit drunk but once again after trying to decipher your post
you mean your heater matrix is leaking? and you have by-passed it via hoses in engine bay?

well basically you just need to replace the matrix, prick of a job as dash has to come out

I did this in the 40 degree heat yesterday. Was an absolute bastard. A lot harder if you dont want to regass your aircon. Whats worse, the matrix was fine. Was the 2 little pipes on mine that I had to replace.
