If you remove the panel of the centre consul that is beside your left leg, you will see the control for your interior heaters.... it will be leaking....

This will be to do with the lifetime warrenty on the vehicle. If something goes wrong, the vehicle will drown you. End of life = end of warrenty. :mrgreen:

Insecure hose clip or a split hose?
Did they change the hoses at the same time?

Faulty replacement matrix or valve maybe? Nothing's perfect.

dont think so, it was just the heater matrix and control valve.
i suppose to check the hoses you have have to take all the dash and everything out again or is there an easier way
