Peugeot Heater matrix job anybody ??

expect to pay at least 300 quid for the whole job from an independent. 600 from a main dealer.

I have done one of these on a 306 in 4 hours. We charge £35.00 per hour inc VAT.

Where are you located Mr Digital ?

4 hours? Is that a proper dash-out job then? Heater matrix on my old Carlton sprung a leak and the Haynes BOL told me that I had to remove the pedal board, including pissing about with all the associated rods/cables etc., to get to it - I managed by just fully depressing the clutch pedal, and it gave it enough room to slide out. Piece 'o' piss.

What followed wasn't too clever though. To start with I didn't have the patience to properly seal it up at the joint, so I gave up on that and bypassed it until I had a day with more time. Then, the fact that I didn't know how to properly fill a cooling system meant that there was probably an airlock in the system, which in the end resulted in a fubar engine. Still, it had about 230k on the clock and it only stood me in around £200 including getting it MOTd and bits for the MOT, and I got 8000 miles out of it, so not too sad really.

Also, are you in the North Surrey/South London area, and only charging £35/hour inc. VAT??? Blimey, you must be kept busy!

I think my 306d has a leaky heater matrix , I'm intrigued by your post. How on earth did you determine that the head gasget leaking could have caused a problem with the heater matrix ? I mean the whole system is protected from being over pressurised by the cap on the coolant bottle isn't it ? Surely a hose would pop off or burst before metal pipes in a heat exchanger gave way !

I can't think why mine would have failed ( if it has )but I know they do fail.. I though I was just unlucky !
