Heater Matrix gone again (and again and again)
« on: 03 May 2005, 21:19 »
Please help!!!!!

I have a Mark3 1.8GL 1992 and i think that the heater matrix has gone again :cry: (4th time in 2 1/2 years) the first time i replaced myself (took 6 hrs) :huh: after 2 mth this went so i though maybe I'd done something wrong.  :undecided: I took it to my local VW garage(not dealer) and paid £350.00 :shocked: for the privilege of it lasting less than 12 mths i took it back under warranty and had it replaced again :sad: this time its lastest 8 months and i am getting that same old fishy smell (yes the wifes knickers are clean besides she's not in the car LOL) :laugh: :laugh:

symptoms are:-
Dry carpet
Slight misting on any heater setting
fishy smell

Please help as if i don't get rid of the smell my wife will think i am having an affair  :laugh:

has anybody had similar problems? or does anyone know what the cause is??

Seriously thinking of scrapping the car as i think £350.00 every 12 mths (if i am lucky) is too much to pay

don't want to get rid of her as just starting to look good
