Eurocarparts Heater Matrix Any Good?

[JRL 14 1 Cars]

I tried to fit one of these yesterday but I found it a massive hassle. I'm still not even sure it's fitted correctly, are the raised areas at the end of the pipes (the bit the o-ring sits against) supposed to be hidden completely when fitted ? As mine are still visible between the fitting plate and the matrix, I thought they were supposed to sit inside the matrix completely ?

 

Also the quality of the matrix doesn't seem as good as the original.

 

 

Have you got another 205 or fixing up the one the taxi driver went into?
