Strange Liquid appearing

[Ian C70T5]

Under the passengers floor mat a liquid has appeared, it seems to be oily or similar, it might be seaping in from under the carpet but have not investigated it much yet. any ideas?

Could be heater matrix leaking!

If it's brown and smelly, I would suggest you slow your driving down, as it might be having an effect on your passengers!!!

Did I Dam that must of been going T5 quick I never saw a thing

[Ian C70T5]

oh dear.. i have been checking levels and the water did go down once the other day, not much tho..

If you look at the foot well and the floor mats its where the C70 is printed into the volvo mats its not high up the floor under dash more like just below seat and near door..

Smelly no mate, i make all my passengers sign a you pooh you clean contract before taking people out

You need to pull up the carpet mate and see if the water is tracking along the floor under the carpet, thats what I suspect.

Hope you prove me wrong and it a leaky door seal !

So do i, i just spoke to Adam at VT and he mentioned Matrix.. god i hope not.....

Just for info, whats involved? on a previous car it was a dash out job!? Its just the oily feel to it worries me to not be rain water

I have however not noticed any difference in performance to the heater, i've not had AC on for a few months either

[Andrew]

What sort of costs are involved in replacing the matrix ?

[lance]

I did one on my Dads Audi Coupe years and years ago , it took me a solid day and yes I had to take the dash board out!
Managed to get everything back together but the glove box was never the same neither were middle heater vents due to britle plastic parts!
Never again would I want to fit one!

[nobananas]

I've done one on an 850 and it was only a half hour job...luvely

[Ian C70T5]

I've spoken to Hamish at VT, he has rested my worries with a replacement matrix without removing the dash, as he says he's "a international superstar".. He has given me a quick fix, i dont fancy forking out this month as its my birthday monday and this would make me cry on my birthday.

I'll attempt quick fix and then if it delays it will sort it out shortly, its only a very minor leak anyway

Sorry to hijack a thread,But i have had my Air con regassed recently,But the A/C isn't blowing out ice cold air,Seems to get cold but nothing else,Any reasons what it could be?

In my area (nation, really) we don't ever need the heater matrix for heating but I still maintain it just to keep it's originality. Would it have any adverse effect on the car if it's removed, just to shut a door off from a gremlin.

Have you checked that the compressor is engaging ?

Just be carefull mate, a minor leak can always sprout into a major one dumping the full contence of the cooling system into the cabin in a matter of seconds, which could cause you Head Gasget to

Now Steve You've gone all techy on me again ,
For all of us novices out there,how do i check that it is working,Is there a fix if it isn't I mean how many beer vouchers to do it?Easy or difficult
