Title: Mk3 Heater Matrix In A Mk2? How?
Post by: WhiteMk2Gti on 10 June 2007, 08:56

So people have said fit the mk3 heater matrix, is it a straight fit?

Will be at GSF so if its better and a straight fit will go for that.

I fitted the Mk3 matrix (GSF part no. 17832B) into my Mk2 and it was a straight fit. It was about £38 I think but just for a laugh I phoned the dealer. He wanted £114 for one!  :shocked: Needless to say, I got the GSF one.

When I took the original one out, I found it was made by the same company as the one who made the GSF one.

Anyway, heating has been fine but head gasket has just gone!  :sick:

Just bought the matrix and expansion tank cap from GSF.

Its emptied an expansion tank onto the passenger floor  :sad:

Hopefully this will be the last of the heater problems!
