Technical Uno Mia heater matrix repair

[Cypress]

Goodday gentlemen.
My heater matrix is leaking. Is there an easy way to get it out of the black box? Can it slide out if I disconnect the hoses? There seems to be very little room under the pedals. How do I remove the central console (if that has to be done at all)?
Thank you.

I would attempt to find a sample from a HANES manual.. or indeed the
forums e.Learn

The UK didnt get panda or uno after @97

So people having done the job are few and far between.

Panda matrix is under bonnet..despite appearing of a similar basic design to the uno

Personally ...I would have an uno NOW..

Is yours leaking coolant? Or another problem??

Yes, mine is leaking and therefore I cant use the heater. Car cabin is cold as heck in winter now. It seems taking off the central console is one beeech of a job and that is just to get to the heater box. Is there an easier way to take the matrix or housing out?
