sounds fun but as my daughter is only 2 i will have to settle for pushing her off her tricycle and giving her mother a slap for not brewing up when ordered
im now quite looking forward to doing this job

but be warned the heat is extreme once that new matrix is in....the MK3 is bloody lovely in winter as its virtually hot before i leave the end of my road...not even the aircon can compete in the mk4 :cool:

And Rich you want to train your daughter to be a VW mechanic monkey as she's small enough to fit in the space and do this job for you rather than you putting your back out :laugh:

when you talk about cleaning these do u mean internal or external?

I've flushed mine through just with a hose pipe, would giving it a bath with some car shampoo or something be better?

cheers.

Cleaning externally. They are covered in a thin film of oil to prevernt corrosion I guess. When they heat up this stinks like fook unless you have cleaned it all off.
