Miss-Vw 2 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Right, still having problems with this bloody heater matrix. My mechanic cannot seem to get the thing out at all, apparently he's taken all of the bolts he can out, he said he can get to the matrix easily but its just not budging. Are there any extra hidden bolts keeping it attached?? Link to post Share on other sites

Miss-Vw 2 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Thanks for the replies, anyone know where these bolts are in the engine bay? my mechanic reckons he cant see anymore bolts anywhere. I just rang another garage aswell to see whether they could do it, except they charge £66ph + vat! And they reckoned it would be an 8-10 hour job. The guy I go to only charges £35ph and will work on it after hours to avoid adding extra costs, so id rather stick to the garage I always go to Link to post Share on other sites
lowvr 0 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 its a crap job! - especially difficult if youve had you interior trimmed and are trying not to F*** it upthe bolts bolting in in are hiding behind the shiney metallic heat shield on the firewall in the engine bay Link to post Share on other sites
