Got fluid in the drivers footwell, is sweet to taste.Windows steaming up too, so reckon the heater matrix has gone. I've got Aircon, is it any harder to change with A/C ? Also, how do you get the matrix pipes off from the engine bay side ? |

My heater matrix or at least some part of the cooling system has a small leak. There was a small amount if coolant in the passenger footwell after a long drive. Nothing leaks when stood. Not put heater on as I don't want it to make it worse.Just wondering if it gets worse can I just pull the two pipes out of the bulkhead and join them up in the engine bay? I don't need the heater. |

epic bumpage lol!safest thing to do is to get a short piece of hose, roughly 15 i.d around 200mm long and take the heater pipes off at the engine end, loop them around and re-bleed the system. putting the heater on or off will not affect it as coolant flows around it all the time, not like a renfault or frod that have valves. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

when mine went on my 205 all i did was pull of the in and out pipe on the bulkhead, joined them by inserting a piece of copper pipe and tightened them with a couple of jubilee clips________________________________________ 205 mi16405 Mi16x4 restoration project 406 v6 saloon track car project/daily driver 508 Hdi |
