Heater Matrix

[Rallyvan 0]

Got in the car this morning and found the footwells like swimming pools, how hard is to change the heater matrix? never changed 1 on the 205. Any help appreciated. Oli

easy enough, aslong as the screws for the matrix pipe clamps aren't corroded

Its been a while since i did mine but.I removed the pipes to the matrix in the engine bay,then took the drivers lower dash trim off,poke your head under the dash,look towards the centre console and you can see it.Undo the plastic part of the pipe from the matrix to the bulkhead,then undo the fixing screws on the matrix and slide it out,takes about 15 mins.I read the haynes manual before i did it and it was on about removing most of the dash,when i got to work,had a look and it and went about it my own way,the only thing the haynes manual is good for is opening to the centre page and using as a kneeling down mat

Thats about right, especially with the harder English they use for simple jobs

That's useful to know for me! The only heater matrix I've ever done in the past was my old ZX, which involved removing the ENTIRE dash from the car...... nice to know the 205 is little easier!!
