Blocked Heater Matrix - 2016 Mk7 Golf

[ejs4]

Hello,

I believe my heater matrix is blocked.
- no heat
- coolant level occasionally drops
- smell of coolant in cabin on long journeys (assume leakage/evaporation)
Over £500 to fix at independents.


Any tips on if matrix is easy to replace

Have a look at my post 5 on here. A bit fiddly but not too bad of a job for DIY if you are fairly competent.
