A lot of the time, you will have to take the dashboard off to access the matrix, so you may wish to pinpoint the exact source of the sound by asking a professional. If the issue is the heater matrix, you should ensure you resolve it as quickly as possible or run the risk of the car incurring significant damage over time.<\/p>\n<h2>Hissing from heater matrix<\/h2>\n<p>If it sounds like you\u2019ve got a snake living under your bonnet and you don\u2019t live in a place where that\u2019s even a remote possibility, you\u2019ve probably sprung a leak in one of the hoses that connects the heater matrix to the rest of the engine. Whether this has occurred at the connection point (which may mean that a clamp has come loose) or elsewhere along the hose (which probably means that a small hole has developed through which coolant and\/or steam will be escaping), it\u2019s a problem that will need rectifying as soon as possible to prevent significant long-term damage occurring to the engine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The heater matrix in a car\u2019s engine is the source of many of the sounds you might be able to hear coming from under the bonnet.
