dude Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Mine was so blocked we could not even blow through it!!!! We ended up putting the steam cleaner on the pipes to get a bit of movement then kept moving it from pipe to pipe to get all the crap out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I flushed mine with the hose during the summer, got loads of muck out, but still no heat and both pipes warm. I got the 'Demisterman' replacement, took a deep breath and did the job a few weeks ago, using Jezz' howto as a guide... Wasn't quite as bad as I expected, but still not for the faint of heart... Car's all toastie now though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavin.starr Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 good luck to any one doing a matrix change. you couldnt really pay me enough to do it again, especially on a driveway. a garage would be better. if you have the time and the tools id say go for it but if your unsure get some one else to do it. expect a lot of cuts and bruises to youhands too. gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
