Heater matrix or possibly scuttle panel foam ripped or torn, but most likely heater matrix, especially if the water is warm/steam and smells of coolant.________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

i kind of guessed but didn't really want it to be the case if im honest!! if it was shot, would it still chuck out heat? sounds stupid i know but i have had to use the windscreen blowers on the last few frosty mornings and they have cleared the screen as usual |
