    HI all !!

    I have the sorry task of replacing my heater matrix in my V40 TD CD.

    Its an R-reg (98) with air con....

    If anyone has ANY tips regarding getting that damned thing out then please
    let me know!!

    I seem to be dismantling the WHOLE car around the matrix and still cant get
    to it !! - I have all the centre console and stereo area/ heater vents out
    of the dash.... I have got the bottom half of the dash disconnected from the
    car, but cant see how the top half is connected... (it seems to be
    pop-rivetted to the lower half !), but where is it fixed to the bulkhead ?

    Apart from disconnecting the 2 pipes from the engine bay, is there anything
    else I should be doing on the outside - such as removing the window wipers
    and vent grills ? I'll soon be removing the tail lights to get to the bloody
    thing !

    I can see the plastic housing of the matrix, and have removed a couple of
    clips which allows me to slightly part the case, and I think I have even had
    a glimpse of the illusive matrix core itself... but how on earth can I get
    it out !?

    If anyone has replaced the heater matrix in a V40 with air con, I would be
    very grateful for any pointers... such as "look out for 2 large 14mm bolts
    near the pedals.... etc"....

    Frustrated....

  2. HI all !!
    Not an easy job you are doing, i have a manual for that, but sadly in
    swedish.
    I can mail it to you, it has some good pictures, and if needed I can
    translate some of the swedish for you.
    Just post your email.
