Gutley Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Yes. You have a leaky Heater Matrix. Get it fixed before it bursts and sprays hot coolant all aver you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxm1275 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Yep, I had the same fault recently and deciced to replace with a second-hand (with warranty) unit. The one I took out only had a small amount of coolant visible, but clearly leaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still deciding what to do, but seems that tightening up the jubilee clips seems to have improved things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have air-con and to be honest, I 'massaged' the heater matrix past it. I might have persuaded the air con pipe a little bit to clear it! Saved disconnecting everything and losing the gas!

I didn't get past a plastic clip that was holding the pipe in place lol. I'll have another look once the weather warms up a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
