Re: Heater matrix
I got the same issue and the floor got soaked and wife complained of hot water drippings seldom. In this part of the world you don't need the heater matrix to keep you warm. Therefore, just disconnected the water lines running to matrix and by passed.
Will do the job if a/c condenser needs to take apart, someday.

Re: Heater matrix
Great.
What I'm trying to avoid is the hassle of taking the dash apart and possibly breaking some fragile plastics inside.
