funny that this post is up as ive been out inmy s2 tonight and cant get hot air in the car. ok, my middle 2 vents are no longer there due to gauges now there but air comin out the other 2 vents is only a tiny bit warm.

i know my heater matrix needs replacing as its dripping. could this be whats causing no real heat?
