Hi all,

I am trying to identify the VW model and year of the heater fitted to my car so I can replace the heater matrix, which leaks a little bit.
The size of the matrix is 140mm matrix width, 40mm matrix thickness and 260mm length matrix and plastic end tank. See pictures below, any help greatly recieved!

You need heated demist for sva.
The heater only warms the feet of the passenger, they don't like hot blue water on their legs!

That looks to be a Tiger Cat in which case the heater they recommend is from a Polo Mk2.
Can't be sure that is what you have fitted but would be a good starting point for your search.
