morgey Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Shouldn't cause an issue, the 2 pipes are just under the throttle body and are about 20mm in diameter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TimD Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 When I removed my heater matrix, I just made use of one of the pipes that went to the matrix to join it back to the head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 The long pipe that comes off the waterpump is the perfect size to go straight to the thermostat housing and totally bypass the matrix.Changing the matrix is a bit of a pain in the hole, (dash out etc) although its nowhere near as bad as a modern car!
