Guest charlie74 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 are you sure the matrix isnt blocked? i know you say you have flushed it as thats the only thing i can think of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cabbiedude Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 thanks for the fast reply, well i thought this too but b4 the engine went in the heater was excellent, and as i sead when i flushed it with the hose b4 water came out the other side it sounded as if air was trapped in there but water came gushing out the other pipe clear?! as i sead a bit baffled tbh but the its almost as if the water isnt getting into the matrix take all the pipes off and hot steamy water comes out of the pipe from behind the inlet manifold.....really doin me nut in LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
