Hi Gaz, thank you for your response. The video is making me anxious just watching it. This is way above my skill and confidence level.
I will get some more quotes but suspect I may just need to get this done.
The vehicle is diesel 1.6. I am getting heat into the vehicle but the drivers side is stone cold. I have done the fan recalibration to no effect.
Mechanic thinks it's the silicone bag added to this models matrix which has broken open and got into the pump and water system. He says it will eventually completely block the matrix. So either repair it or dump it with we buy any car and look for a replacement.
It's been a great car up to this point.
One of my lifetime favourites as a driver.
But having to replace matrix and pump at 60k miles is ridiculous for a car of this quality and age.
