All this to get the heater matrix out

[buddy]

To remove heater matrix.

You need to remove center consel and clocks, then set about removing all of the screws that hold the dash on. These two screws are hidden behined the air bag.

This braket has to be cut and the rivets drilled out.

Remove air bag Unplug all of the plugs.

Then in the engine bay you have to disconet the aircon pipes and the water pipes at the bulk head. Also in the bulk head behined the fabric there is seven nuts to undo. Once the whole air system is out you have two nuts on the matrix to undo then then the matrix is free to replace .

It takes about 8- 10 hours if you are doing it by yourself

Bigger job than it sounds then. Good job it's sorted now :)

Hello, again, can't believe your breaking after so much good work.

if available? there are a couple of things i need, 

1. Air Con pipes, from left hand side of engine returning under the Washer Bottle to the rear Bulk Head, assuming all joints are in tact. One of my Bubble Crimps has split wide open.

 

2. Genuine front Xenon Level Sensor, part No. 1U0907503A

 

3. Front Disk Brake Dust cover / Shields for the 312mm Disc, I am assuming they would be bigger than the standard 280mm?

 

Thanks in advance, good luck with the sale

Jim

I do not have the xenon level sensor as the lights where fitted to the car about two years ago. The dust cover for the brakes are the size of 288 but I can do the air con pipes. Pm me for more details

[sevenup]

Thanks for your reply, and Sorry for late response,

I am still researching the best way to deal with the leak, i have one bad joint, the work involved removing the whole lot seems disproportionate to my engineering mind. if all the joints on your system are perfect i wouldn't mind having it on standby, dependant on price etc.

I will come back to you when I've made a few phone calls.

Best

Jim

[buddy]

All the joints and pipes are fine 

[sevenup]

Thanks for that, 

whats your price for the pipes?

The front bumper bar has a single pass intercooler on it I can remove it though, and the front panel is yours as well

Just going through some paper work and I'm the second owner of octy and soon to be the last

The performance parts from this car have gone to my seat leon (which is in the non Skoda projects under buddy’s seat leon Cupra) so it sorts of lives on in an  other shell/life
