Heater matrix

From CEM to VEM, from LED to lightbulb and more. If you have an electrical problem, like a broken info-centre, search for answers in this category. This is also the place to be when you expect the problem to be of an electrical nature...

Hi all are heater matrixes still available? Is it the same matrix throughout the 400 range?

Still available for the majority, however very early cars are different (pipes in slightly different place on the bulkhead). I couldn’t find an early one so it was easier to have it remade at a radiator repair place.

Not sure what yours is but hopefully by 89-90 they had replaced with the later type. What is the year of yours and chassis number?
1987 Volvo 480 ES, 507274, 217 - Red (Ness)
2006 Citroen C6 Exclusive 3.0 petrol/LPG
2008 Mini Cooper convertible (Mau)

Previous 480's:

D864 CPV -- ES
L691 JFC -- Turbo
F70 MNR -- ES
