Sure plenty of you have read about leaking heater matrix and some of course had it happen on your own zeds, but understanding what it looks like in place and how it get you carpet wet is not always clear, so when I changed one last week thought I would take a picture to show it clearly, and this one is a bad one.

on this subject jeff have you found many that its the valve rather then the matrix is at fault?

 

obviously this one its the matrix but i replaced my one about 6 months ago then a couple of weeks ago i had to go back in there as i had found the valve was faulty and leaking around the end cap....

Not common at all, have only seen it once and heard of one other, possibly though it may become a more common failure as the plastic changes state with age, also the increased use of none Nissan matrix`s, as they do not come with new valves like the genuine one does.

 

 

Oh and here is the access to the heater matrix ( drivers side ) with the dashboard not removed, just the ducts and ecu and plate removed.
