Saves problems later
It does but it requires a bit of fettling to get it to fit. Getting the new pipes all the way through the bulkhead grommets is a hell of a lot easier with 2 people and some washing up liquid.
Worked great on MrGorsky's. New rubber pipes smelt for a few weeks!
It's also much easier while the dash is out to fit the Audi core into the heater box.
On mine I put the pipes in place, and then refitted the heater & connected it up. Then I disconnected SRS fuses & relay, so I could run the car and check the heater with the dash top removed. Nice & easy to check the flaps worked correctly, and find any leaks, etc.

I don’t quite understand it’s lasted 20+yrs , fix as standard and you get another 20+

The audi matrix is half the price of the aftermarket p38 ones and no more o rings to leak so for me its worth the extra time.
Ordered all the bits come to £30 just got my time to add on. But as said no more O rings
The O rings have been done once on the 96 but not on the 2001, now if it’s confirmed it’s the matrix I may change my position, but O rings at pennies
and I would look at a repair on the original matrix (in the summer)Jubilee clips V O rings
