Heater Matrix Pipes

Anyone know how the pipes are plumed? I have a metal manifold inline in mine but it was not fitted in the car when i got it (engine had been removed) so I have no idea where it goes, looks like its some some of valve to aid air bleeds? Phil

That sounds like the heater mod fitted by VW when heater matrix's were failing cant remember whether it was fitted on the inlet or outlet. I believe some have demoded and removed it.

Yep sounds like the fix for the original heater matrix problem. Do you want to keep it 'original' ?
I've replaced with MK3 hoses. Looks a bit neater.
The B&B guys on ebay have them.

OK thanks, all the pipes I was supplied with are new (Meyle) and they seem to fit perfectly without this 'thing', the matrix is MK3 and new so it should be fine, thanks all
