Stupid heater matrix, blown again!

[Ben Lessani]

After 2 visits to GSF, the first to tell me its a dealer only part and the second for me to tell them their part no. for it (7mm hose), I've got a 2m length of it - which I'll pop on tonight.

Stupid wet floor, I was actually dabbing it with paper to see if it was blue .... and that was only after I considered tasting it

I'd be interested to hear if it was the heater matrix. I've had to change them on my last 2 Golf's and never had a problem with them. I went for the 'higher spec' £35 Valeo item too which I understood was OE.

Also, I thought it was commonly accepted that a passenger side leak could be a heater matrix and it's not normally the driverside? Dunno though, never been unlucky enough to find out.

yeah but as i said, if it was just diffo quality, why is the cheaper one not also listed for the MK3?

Just checked some old OLD listings from GSF - the Mk2 only one is the cheaper branded one according to it.. The Mk2/Mk3 one the mroe expensive.. It's either going to be a warranty related thing, or just some bod up high in GSF not wanting MK3 owners fitting the cheaper ones and then GSF getting claimed against for it going bang - whereas on the Mk2 it weas to be expected.

the gsf mk3 one isn't a mk3 one anyway, its an audi tt one
