GSF are usually excellent from my experience of them.
The combination of the matrix and foam will restore your heater nicely. Going to do an antifreeze change as well or is that fresh? |

I've heard a lot that nissens aren't very good anymore... In any case my aim was not to scare anyone - I've put some cheap stuff [polish/chinese] in a few cars, works fine if there aren't way too few ribs... |

The original matrix I removed from a 1989 Coupe was a Valeo

Yeah - when someone complains about procedure of heater matrix change, I remind that it's work that usually has to be done once in lifetime of a car - and that's the situation over here; in the west likely most of the cars sold went to the press before heater matrix failed...
As for the life of heater matrix, I agree. Original heater matrix of my mk2 golf, which turns 29 tomorrow, blew up two years ago, due to increased pressure in cooling system - currently there's mk3 original matrix inside, as I happened to have AC kit from late mk3 on my shelf... My mothers mk3, 25 years old at the moment, received new heater matrix last year. My audis weren't so fortunate - heater matrix of A80 failed when it was 20 years old or even newer - no idea about A90q, but it had some strange heater matrix when I got it, so apparently was changed. |
