How do you change the heater matrix golf mk3?

Answer 1

With great great difficulty, im a mechanic and i can tell you that these are sods to do. Its slap bange behind the centre console and heater box has to be taken out in order to get the matrix out. Start by taking out the glovebox and footwell cover and take out the motor by twisting it anticlockwise, take out fan housing and box (beware there is a bolt in the engine bay holding the back of the housing to the car which people easily break). once housing out of way heater box nuts have to be undone (engine bay again 10mm nuts) the rest is torture to you hands as you try to get the box separated and out. But please make sure you do disconnect the heater matrix hoses before you start lol. Good luck you will need it plus plenty of patience and cups of tea. :-)
