Default Leaking heater matrix?
Just got back from a drive in the scoob, had the heaters on and it misted up. its done it once before but didnt think anything of it and it hasnt happend since untill today. The heaters are still piping hot but it has lost a little coolant, the passanger carpet is soaked in the top right corner with coolant and there are drips on top of the carpet running down. Had a feel round the blower and its pretty much soaked, so im guessing its the heater matrix. The heaters still stay really hot but the misting on the inside dosent go away Is it easy to change and roughly how much is a new one? Or could it be something else?

cheers andy

I bypassed the matrix as a tempory fix before giving myself time to rip the inside to bits. This was back when it was freezing too....
