I have a leaky heater matrix on my Peugeot 306 XLD.

Anyone interested in doing a replacement job at reasonable cost?

North Surrey / South London or within 25 mile radius.

Thanks,
John

expect to pay at least 300 quid for the whole job from an independent.  600 
from a main dealer.

I have done one of these on a 306 in 4 hours.
We charge 35.00 per hour inc VAT.

Just a thought also.
Either the matrix has failed itself or something has caused it to fail. 
Possibly a head gasket problem which might be leaking compression pressure 
into the cooling system. Might be worth while getting it checked out as we 
have come across this before.

4 hours?  Is that a proper dash-out job then?  Heater matrix on my old 
Carlton sprung a leak and the Haynes BOL told me that I had to remove the 
pedal board, including pissing about with all the associated rods/cables 
etc., to get to it - I managed by just fully depressing the clutch pedal, 
and it gave it enough room to slide out.  Piece 'o' piss.

What followed wasn't too clever though.  To start with I didn't have the 
patience to properly seal it up at the joint, so I gave up on that and 
bypassed it until I had a day with more time.  Then, the fact that I didn't 
know how to properly fill a cooling system meant that there was probably an 
airlock in the system, which in the end resulted in a fubar engine.  Still, 
it had about 230k on the clock and it only stood me in around 200 including 
getting it MOTd and bits for the MOT, and I got 8000 miles out of it, so not 
too sad really.

Also, are you in the North Surrey/South London area, and only charging 
35/hour inc. VAT???  Blimey, you must be kept busy!

I think my 306d has a leaky heater matrix , I'm intrigued by your post.
How on earth did you determine that the head gasget leaking could have
caused a problem with the heater matrix ? I mean the whole system is
protected from being over pressurised by the cap on the coolant bottle
isn't it ? Surely a hose would pop off or burst before metal pipes in a
heat exchanger gave way !

I can't think why mine would have failed ( if it has )but I know they
do fail.. I though I was just unlucky !
