IN this PiggyPower guide;
Replacing your leaking/blocked heater matrix in your Peugeot 206.
No need to remove the dashboard!
It may just be the two sealing O rings, but total cost of parts is £16 for both the O rings and matrix, so why not do both!

LEFT HAND DRIVE:
To anyone attempting this on a left-hand drive – according to the Peugeot manual you must remove the whole dashboard to change the heater matrix. Most mechanics will quote you 3-5 hours of labor because of this. It is possibly by way of using a Dremel to cut the corner of the plastic dashboard away, then glue it back together after the job is done. Took approx. 30 minutes of cutting and gluing time. The cut is made in the lower right side by your knees, so you can’t see the cut unless you know it’s there. But obviously you will always have some visual damage. The throttle pedal will also need to be removed for access. 15minutes in/out for that.

Thank you – great video. To anyone attempting this on a left-hand drive – according to the Peugeot manual you must remove the whole dashboard to change the heater matrix.

I managed to change it the cowboy way by using a Dremel to cut the corner of the plastic dashboard away, then glue it back together after the job is done.

Great cars. Damn cheap to own and maintain.
I am getting rid of my 2020 VW Polo for a car like this. 600 quid for a oil change and spark plug replacement. Absolutely nuts
Thank you for tutorial.
in pegeote306 is the same process???
Much help ? Thanks
Wonder if bar leak would cure?
Thanks for this love your channel. Daughter has 17 yr old and everything wear and tear seems to be failing but not unreliable. Cracking little car, shes owned for 8yrs 60k miles. Only wear and tear failures, never stopped. She loves it to pieces. Changed rear axle last year. Wished id paid a garage. Much swearing and scuffed knuckles but done. Renewed all brakes. Now got this leak, paper towel is same colour as dip in coolant header and tastes of antifreeze so presume coolant and tell tale white deposits on visible heater plastic. Did one f these on vauxhall carlton 20 yrs ago, dashboard out. NEVER again but this looks ok with your valuable vlogs. Thank you tompieces
