Hi all, I'm new here, I hope someone can help.
I have a 2006 Sorento diesel right hand drive. The heater has today started leaking antifreeze into the passanger foot well. I have removed the blower and glove box, there is antifreeze every where and I can't see where it is coming from. I suspect the matrix is leaking. Does any one know what is involved removing the heater assy? I am an engineer so can undertake complex proceedures including degassing the A/C if necesary. Any help much appreciated.

I would remove the glove box assy and pressure test first, have a good look about in case it is a hot water valve leaking, not sure of the implications in getting the matrix out, on some cars it slots in to the side of the heater casing, if these do you will be able to see the outline of it, I had to do a Mercedes diesel and the complete dash had to come out, but if I left the rad cap loose if did not leak due to a circlip that was missing from the factory holding an oring down,
