If you bridge it thereis still a fair amount of water in the matrix itself and pipes.

I like my cars to be right (even if it means spending!!) and the VR6 is going to be a mobile demonstrator (in a way) so needs to be 100%

(I sell the febi matrix at around £40 delivered so they aren't huge money to buy, just a shame it's not so cheap to fit!)

That will soon find its way into the foot well dont worry :grin:
I mean to bridge it so you can see if the level stabilises before doing the matrix or be able to run it in event of a known matrix leak.
