Heater Matrix ?

[James.f]

Right im slightly puzzled with the matrix system in the car beeing fed with water coming through the bulkhead..

If i connect some of the coolant hoses but dont hook it up with the heater matrix will it be ok ?

im guessin water will go everywhere, but im just want the car to turn over tbh, so i can see if its running ok..

just join the two heater matrix pipes together so its a loop....

 

[James.f]

is that what youve done with yours fella? as i remember you said you dont run a heater anymore in the car..

iv only got the 1.2 pipes and one 172 coolant pipes, so im goin to try and make them fit lol

i dont have a matrix nope.......i had a custom pipe so i didnt have to loop them, it just has a 180* bend in it and fits without having to loop them together

can just about see it under the thermostat housing, along the top of the box and down the front of the block...

but yeh, join them together if you dont want it to piss out everywhere so it creates a loop

right sorry to sound stupid but the thermostat housing is were the excess water goes from the Water bottle etc ye ?

il give that a go in a min


another thing fella, under the coilpack i have a small 90 degree pipe stuck to the rocker cover which is excess oil ye? were does that feed to?

though it would lead back down into the sump but cant see any sign of a connection to it ..

that loops back onto the bottom of the throttle body on my engine
