I need to get my heater matrix done.
Anyone had any work done by Citrotec in Bristol?

What car is this on?
Is it possible you can attempt this job yourself as having any dealer do it will cost at least 10 hours in labour on a Xantia and will cost a fortune.
The job is not hard, just laborious and time consuming. There's plenty of advice on here how to.

Citrotec's normal price for replacing a heater matrix is £500.
However, Citrotec know the car & charged me £300 total.
I dread to think what a Citroen main dealer would charge, or whether they would recognize a Xantia.
My next step is to replace the a/c compressor; then I will have a car with NO faults!
The cheapest I can find a new a/c compressor is £190 & VAT.
Does anyone know where I might be able to beat this price?
Does anyone else need a new a/c compressor?
I may be able to arrange a discount for quantity.

To be honest mate I would not bother with the aircon. My experience with fixing a compressor on an older car is that once done the pressure then finds any tell tale joints around the system, Before you know it you can end up spending a fortune on new joints and tracing etc.
Of course if you are in a place where the summers are unbearably hot that`s different.
