Get ready to start to see water in the footwells.I hate to break it to you but that is classic matrix about to go symptoms. ________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

I agree, could be matrixWas the system bled properly after its refill? try bleeding it from all points whilst warm, start with rad screw, then thermostat then heater matrix pipes I did my own matrix a few months back, it sounds and looks quite daunting, but i had a friend help me out and it makes it go a lot smoother, id of had it done in 3 hrs if it hadnt been for snapping the matrix pipes :grr Good luck ________________________________________ Audi S3 Black Edition |
