rear heater matrix leaking??
the pipes are made of plastic and can break,or in my case i cut one off by accident when i removed an old hose!
Do not drive it!..get someone to come to you to fix if you can.
jubile clips are rubbish,best to use contsaint presure clips.
Ive found this out the hard way!

Thanks for the reply.
I`ve read on here about by-passing the rear heater unit.
Can anyone show me some pics of this?
Also if i bypass the rear heater will the air con still work?
Thanks again....
