Can you see water on carpet? Is your car floor constantly wet? Does the heater matrix have signs of dampness or leaking? Is your windscreen misting with condensation? Auto Experts Medway in Gillingham is the local garage in Medway to come to for heating problems. We are close to both Rochester and Chatham.
A heater matrix is a mini radiator positioned within the heater box behind the dash board of a vehicle. It allows coolant from the engine to pass through its core and produces hot air and warmth inside the vehicle. As the hot coolant passes through the heater core, a fan circulates air across it. This allows the air to heat and distributes it throughout the vehicle by using a pipe and vent network.
Over time, as with most rubber products, the heater hose might become brittle because of the extreme heat and its age. This might cause the heater hose to fail, causing the engine coolant to leak out and overheat the engine. To prevent this from happening, book your car in and have our technicians check your vehicle’s hoses. Having an annual inspection known as a service can help prevent this type of failure. The things to look out for are cracks, swollen areas or splits that could lead the heater hose to fail. The hose should be replaced if necessary.
The engine should be allowed to completely cool down before one attempts to inspect or replace the heater hose. Exposure to the extremely hot coolant will cause serious bodily injury. Radiator coolant should be handled with care, because it is extremely poisonous.
We at Auto Experts Medway in Medway have established a superb reputation for high quality replacement services, refer to our testimonials from our customers from Chatham, Gillingham and Rochester on our testimonial page.

On many occasions when carrying out a diagnosis a partial strip down is necessary. Should you agree to have any necessary work completed at this time, this check or diagnosis may become free when paying for a full service due to the fact that your vehicle is being worked on already.
Keep checking your water and oil levels between servicing this is one way of helping to avoid unnecessary bills. Should your vehicle require a service click on this service tab for more information We are based in Gillingham, close to Twydall shops.
