I was contacted today by Disco_Kin who's just down the road from me in Annecy, apparently his heater has just dumped in the footwell as he was coming over from the UK.
We're going to have a look at it on saturday, no aircon to worry about (phew) but from what I've been reading it's an arse of a job that entails entire dash removal.
I've also seen vague references to a short-cut through the fuse box, but no specifics.
As I understand it, the problem is the ally pipes that fit to the matrix block it's removal & it's impossible to tighten the clamps in situ, but I've not stuck my head in yet to look.
Any tips?
I was thinking about maybe cutting the alloy pipes & either rejoining them or simply extending the hoses down to the stubs on the matrix & using good old hose clamps.
What do you all reckon?
