Gazboy Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Nice! I had the matrix go on my GT-Four. I'm sure at some stage in the build process of these cars there's just a heater matrix trundling down a conveyor belt and then a car get's built around it.

lockys96 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 did the gearbox have to come out though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Is the heater matrix under the passenger footwell? I'm thinking if this needs doing i'll DIY it and take a metal grinder to the floor and have that sucker out. Bit of quick welding, a new set of floor mats to cover up the shocking gaps and hey presto, time to sell the car! Only joking.........or am I?

ivan Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 In the words of one particular toyota specialist (I forget who right now): "It's a bitch of a job. I usually quote customers £1000 in the hope they won't bother." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Is it new audi's where you can just open the glovebox and slide the heater matrix out? I forget. Much easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain2010 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Nah, just sell the car in the summer "as seen";) Thats what happened to me!!!

The old V12 XJS's were like that, 15 minute job! The rest of the car was utter junk however.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that in my experience, the better the heating in the car, the crappier the car was!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
