Thanks for the join. I have a 98 GTI6 in Tasmania Aus. Bought from my son as he wanted to move it on. Cracked windscreen, heater matrix hoses need replacing and a muffler!175000 K's with 10 years of service records. Water pump and timing belt done at 156000. I don't have a pic as yet but will get to it. Are the heater matrix hoses available? Cheers. ________________________________________ G F Hesp |

Hi Gerard and welcome sir. It'll probably the unit itself bud, it's a common problem with our cars i'm afraid. Luckily they're not expensive - bad news is it's a s**te of a job to do. Although i actually found mine was quite easy to do - as i paid someone far more technically advanced than myself to do it It's also great to have someone actually a bit older than me on here, ok it's only 4 years but i'll take that. cheers ________________________________________ Bianca 306 Rallye.Mondeo Titanium X. |

Thanks Nose, hanging onto my 50's just. I'm yet to see where the leak is but my son told me one of the two hoses had a split in it, I'll be investigating this weekend.________________________________________ G F Hesp |

Ive had it running and the coolant is dribbling from the plastic joiners between the hoses and the firewall where it joins the heater pipes i presume. Are there O rings in those joiners/connectors?________________________________________ G F Hesp |

Yes. there should be o-rings. Not easy to get them fitted correctly though... On one of my cars, the o-ring is not sitting properly, so it is leaking slightly.________________________________________ My car park:'96 Sigma Blue XSi6 '98 Diablo Red GTi6 '99 Onyx Black S16 All RFS powered!
