it looks like an absolute biiaaatch of a job mate! i had a good look at it when i had my dash out to replace my heater fan, definately not a job id choose do to!!
I reckon a late night mechs sessions with elsawin.
plus a couple of beers sorted.
save the labour charge and spend on mods. - I think thats good advise lol.
Friday into Saturday. Tunes pumping, couple of beers and strong coffees. It's what Friday nights are all aboutThat's going to be one heck of a late night session lol

owch nice job to-do wouldnt even hazard a guess when u say it smells nothing to do with the atmosheric catch can you got going on aftecting the pollen filter? its a long shot but thought i would ask it
Looks like an entire dashboard off job!
Brief guide to removing your heater Matrix B5 1997.. pics - Audifans.net

Torx and Hex tools
Some pliers
Spanner no.17 or 19 don't remember

Have you done this before Danio?
Can I de-gas the AC myself or is it best to just go to my local garage?
Yes I've done it before on my A3 when I was fitting air con.
Yes you can de-gas AC yourself if you know how to. I went to Halfords to do it as I had voucher.
Obviously it is not hard to do it but you have no guaranties that all system is tight so maybe better is to go to garage and re-gas it.
Will definitely get it regassed at a garage but was thinking about de-gassing it myself if it's not too difficult?
No just open both valves one near radiator and the second one behind maf sensor.
Always wondered how many heater matrixes rot from the inside out due to not having the coolant changed. Say a car is coming on ten years old, then how much corrosion inhibitor is going to be left in the original coolant?
Thats bad for the environment, bad for your health and illegal.
Give it to a registered garage.
If you talk to them nicely, they might empty it for free if you go back or pay to empty but free refill.
Scott never heard about it that is illegal or bad to environment.
I thought that gas has got no smell, at least I never smell anything.
And next thing what if your system is not tight (you don't know about it) and all gas going to atmosphere?? Is that mean everyone will be sick??
