Title: Heater box foam replacement
Post by: chocice on 14 May 2014, 00:05

Hi Guys is there a way of replacing the foam on the heater box flaps without having to remove the centre console?

No.  Having done the job myself I cannot think of a way of doing it without the box out.

Best of luck!!!

I feared as much, I still get warmish air out of it but the amount of foam being blown in my face only tells me this project is on the horizon, I saw one guide where the guy got so cut up and frustrated he smashed his interior up in frustration lol.

It is a pig of a job to get the heater box out, expect cut hands and loads of swearing. Just take your time and recheck everything when refitting.

Give yourself 2 days to do it nice and steady.  Mk3 Heater Matrix and a roll of closed foam.  Lots of tea & plasters as well  :grin:
