Mine had the same problem so your video was helping me a lot. Looks like you have a Knaus Traveller.

[@LeFrez]

Yes, 1999 Knaus Traveller 575. Glad the video helped you :-)

I have the same issue on my peugeot boxer 2001 that looks very similar but turns out the heater matrix is burried into a massive black box that requires taking the whole dashboard out to access…

Jeeze , brings back memories . I've recently just completely rebuilt my cooling system on exactly the same motor . The only original parts are the engine , and cooling fans . Some parts were a doodle to source , others a real bitch , much of them from Europe , took 13 months in total . Bit i'm Interested in , is the join in your vacuum pipe , just below the master cylinder . I've just removed a similar join , that was basically redundant . Best i can tell , it appeared to connect to the blue cylinder mounted up next to your expansion bottle . Now if my figuring is correct , i'm guessing it's an early vacuum cruise control . I've only ever seen pictures of these systems , and the shape looks about right . My figuring is , my van also once had a vacuum system , which has since been replaced with it's current electric system . As your van also has this join , can you confirm that assumption for me ?

Is that the same set up as on a 1998 Peugeot Boxer do you know. Be very handy for me if it is.

[@LeFrez]

I am very sure (99%) that they're the same, yes.

[@06edwaar65]

Hi would this be the same process for 2003 2.8 citreon relay??

[@LeFrez]

I cannot say for sure, but yes, I think they are the same, or at least very very similar.

[@douglasgower7625]

by the way, where did you buy it please?

[@LeFrez]

I was in Spain at the time and bought it from www.mister-auto.es -- I believe they have webshops in other countries too. It is made by Valeo and their part number for it is 812141 - I hope this helps.

[@blazhribar1181]

You replace it because do not heat or? Thanks

[@LeFrez]

It was leaking.
