Been working on the car recently, including replacing the radiator, and then today (3 rd day s use) water has been coming out of the plastic vents at the feet of the passenger where hot/ cold air should be , what's going on.

heater matrix foobard?

 

If not bled properly the system pressure will exceed normal operating pressures as air expands so much more than coolant. Problem im having with mine now.

 

Your sympoms definatly point in that direction. Isolate the heater matrix by joining the 2 hoses that go from the back of the engine to the bulkhead together for a temporary bypass...aslo if the water stops flooding your cabin you know thats the issue. I wouldnt use it until youve done something as the ECU sits where your water is going.

Leaking heater matrix.

Hollings, thanks for the advice, obviously with the heater isolated I will have no hot or cold air or screen demist. and also Noz included, if the heater matrix is leaking, can anything be added to the coolant to fix it like you can for rads?

You will have cold air, and demist works, just slower. Open the windows to help. Monday I mapped a Zed with bypassed matrix and needed to drive it 60 miles and it was fine.
