G'day,
I noticed some coolant on the carpet again. Very disappointing as they were only replace about 12 months ago after a gas install. I used the Cut Duct method to gain access to the o-rings and when i removed them one was deformed. So i replaced both and a new SS cap screw. Drove around for a couple of weeks. All good. Then more coolant on the carpet
After some looking the coolant seems to be coming from behind the screw not the O-rings.
I think I will be up for a new matrix. On a RHD car does the heater box need to be removed or has anyone devised a way to replace it in place?
I am about 4 weeks away from leaving for a 10,000km trip to Darwin and the simpson desert so maybe its best to bypass the heater until i get back and can deal with it.
Thanks for all the posts in this forum. The first time the O-rings were replaced it cost me $450 by the local Indy as he installed the gas. The second time $4.50 for the O-rings and some help from this forum.
Regards
Andrew
