306 heater/overheating - duggie
the car is a 93' pug 306 1.4, the car overheats slightly and the heater inside the car doesnt work, lve changed the thermostat and drained the system flushing through the best l could with the garden hose, refilled the system using a header tank on the expansion tank and bled the system, now getting some (not a lot) heat in the car, lm now thinking the heater matrix is partially blocked any suggestions how to unblock? lve heard changing the matrix is a dashboard out job.

I think you have crud sitting at the bottom of your heater matrix. Read the following topic.
