Dave Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 if the matrix has gone you will have water under the carpet passenger side and the windows will steam up ,dont know why your getting sponges out of the vents.theres no sponge in the vent system ,has one of your vent pipes come off under the dash ?

mwilkinson Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Two thoughts. 1. Someone in the past has stuffed some sponge material in a vent for an unspecified reason If it were the drivers side I would have suggested it was to fit a gauge. 2. The heater unit that houses the matrix has a series of flaps to control the direction of the airflow. The main flaps have large foam pads glued to the flap surface to ensure an airtight seal when closed. It could well be off one of these.
