ThatYank Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 the heater core is probably bad and they didn't want to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selphie Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 My ford did this and the AA man did the same thing. Think it cost me about £40 to get it fixed. It was the heater matrix???. Oh and they would have done it because all the water would be peeing out of the radiator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toploader Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Your matrix will be leaking. There'd be no other reason to by-pass it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatYank Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 if you put the tubes back in place you'll get the green flood into the passenger compartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
