Help please

[Monaro Pete]

Hi my brothers friend who's a machanic is going to call in the morning I'll keep you posted thanks

Remember Annette not to let him do any work. Just look.

Like it's been said, it's the garages problem, not yours.

If it is heater matrix how much would it cost to do please?

Heater Matrix is a dashboard out job, it's not really hard it's just time consumimg and remember in what order you took stuff out and how well you lay your screws out etc etc

The Matrix itself is just a few bolt and two pipes if I remember correctly?

I'd expect a bill for a few hundred quid to get a job done like that by a garage, if it was mine i'd attempt it myself but I'm a nutter and don't rely on it for a school run

I'd take the advice of the CAB, don't take any crap from the garage, they must have some accountability!!!!

What year is the car by the way? Did you buy it on eBay?

They said it was part ex car not there problem they don't know anything about cars they sell them there not mechanics

How were they able to describe it if they know nothing about cars?
Muppets!
Send it back to them, get them to fix it or give you your money back. Consumer Rights Act, innit?
Whether it's their problem or not is for them to debate.
How the hell can they accept a car in P/ex if they don't know its condition?
Lying muppets!!!
What I can guarantee from your story is that it's not your problem!

Does it have Air Con? was it on at the time? I had a motor fill up with mist once cos the AC was on when it should not have been, heat from the heater made AC evaporator condensation "evaporate", which was then blown into the car, had to stop quick as all the windows misted up and could not see, Rick

Had smoke coming out of the vents in my fathers car once - turned out to be aftermarket radio, 2 wires shorting and started smouldering.

If smoke, you'll be able to tell: it stinks like burning plastic!

You beat me to it Rick, my Scooby would fill the car up with steam when you have the aircon on, and then accelerated hard, as to give you extra power, it would drop the aircon out. I noticed the other day, that Suz's T2 does the same thing, but nowhere near as much steam in her cars case.

Make sure the air is not on circulate, but from outside .

I suppose by rights it ought to be a new thread in the correct area...

...but that means coughing up a worthwhile tenner to become a proper forum member as opposed to a forum browser.

Believe me it's worth the money, but I figure you've already sussed that.

:thumbs

 

[Annette]

Yes will be doing it shortly
