d-9 0 Posted March 19, 2006 Im suspicious of my heater matrix, as whenever i turn the blower on it smells of antifreeze and the carpets are always damp. As theyre generally a pain in the arse to change, is it possible to get a pressure test or something done to confirm wether there is a leak? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypug 0 Posted March 19, 2006 Are you losing coolant, this would be the quickest way to check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tom_m 0 Posted March 19, 2006 it sounds very much like it might be leaking yes, but they are a simple swap if it is! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d-9 0 Posted March 19, 2006 its for a 106 actually! I might be loosing coolant, but im not 100% on the head gasket and the rad either, I just want to find out why the carpet is wet and why i get a sore throat on long journeys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hengti 2 Posted March 19, 2006 simple as : taste your wet carpet ( ) on the end of your finger - it'll be sickly sweet if its coolant then replace matrix bosh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
