Re: [Quantum Owners] Leak From Inside Car - 2+2

As Steve Kodz said it sounds like the Heater Matrix is leaking to me.It's common on the Ford Fiesta. I had to get my replaced on my 2+2 too. Hope this helps.Robert Greig On Thursday, 22 June 2017, 18:25, SMIDG3T wrote: So I’ve got another leak! Wooo! This

Re: [Quantum Owners] Leak From Inside Car - 2+2

Any idea how I’d get to it? All I see are pipes under my bonnet! Would in be in the same place as the standard fiesta? And it’s just the two connectors at the top of the matrix and that’s it? Thanks. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum

Re: [Quantum Owners] Leak From Inside Car - 2+2

My guess would be your heater matrix is leaking. Last time this happen on my saloon I was able to source a replacement from Mister Auto, but other sources may be available. When you open the plastic heater unit to extract the matrix the plastic clips will break. Ford produced some metal

Is this correct? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162550137065 And is it okay to keep driving as long as I keep the fluids up? -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group. To post to this group, send email to

Re: [Quantum Owners] Leak From Inside Car - 2+2

Picture 3 shows the pipes at the right and a clip just to the left of them. That whole heater unit is a good price, but you only need the matrix, which is essentially a small radiator. I would expect the matrix in that one might be old, so worth getting a new one too. The matrix is similar to

Re: [Quantum Owners] Leak From Inside Car - 2+2

If it is the matrix, try and find a genuine Ford one with Aluminium fins and plastic pipes and end caps. The pattern ones tend to be copper fins and pipes, don't fit very well and seem to produce far less heat than the Ford ones. Jim On 22/06/2017 16:38, SMIDG3T wrote: So I’ve got another

The Mk1 I saw on eBay had curved pipes, so maybe that is the difference? Regards, Steve -- h4-turbo.co.uk quantumowners.club On 22 June 2017 20:48:39 wrote: There are two types of MK2 matrix, straight pipes and angled pipes. Unfortunately you won't know what

Re: [Quantum Owners] Leak From Inside Car - 2+2

There are two types of MK2 matrix, straight pipes and angled pipes. Unfortunately you won't know what you've got until you take it out. As an alternative/short term fix you can disconnect the two hoses that got into it (from the engine bay) and connect them together using a short length of 15mm

Re: [Quantum Owners] Leak From Inside Car - 2+2

If it's only a small leak, yes. What happens usually is that the water collects in the lower heater cover so watch out when you remove it. You will also find that if the weather gets colder that the windscreen will mist up if you try and use the fan. Jim On 22/06/2017 19:21, SMIDG3T

Re: [Quantum Owners] Leak From Inside Car - 2+2

Yes, agree, heater matrix, or if the pipes aren't sealed very well in the engine bay it could one one of the hose connections to the heater. At least it can be changed from inside the car without removing the dash. I don't actually know the part number for the metal clips as I've always been
