hi a replaced the heater matrix the other week and all is going well apart from i think i have put the spring in the wrong place.

the pic is quite hard to see but this is from the tech guide and i cannot quite see where it goes back on. (stupid me didnt check before taking off:wacko:)

 

 

anyway anybody have a decent pic that could help me out please

No that looks correct.

it should do as its the guides pic. what im asking is i cant quite see in that pic where the end of the spring actually goes? anybody have a close up

 

what does the spring actually hook over? i have just placed it over the control cable on the matrix valve but its squeeking when the heater is turned on so guessing that not right

Gary does'nt it show in the workshop manual mate..or give jeff a pm he'll know

hoping jeff will see this mate :)

the bit of the spring you can`t see goes in the little silver lever that`s function is to open the valve in the matrix pipes. You attach this to the silver lever first then the other end has the screw bolt going through it into the housing to hold that end in place. I have a spare unit in the loft will have a look later and see if springs attached. To add, mine squeaked and sometimes goes boing too even though all put back correctly..maybe it needs greasing or they just don`t like being disturbed. The problem i have now is i have flow through the vents but it`s got no power to it so guessing the flaps are out of sync or something, these units are a pain to figure out sometimes.
