As far as I've looked, the only 2 hoses near eachother going inside through the firewall are right in the middle of the firewall, right under the intake manifold so there is clearly no place to attach hoses for the flush, am I right that these are the hoses going to the matrix? Also, I have a LHD with double side ATC, would I have 2 matrixes in this case? One on the right and one on the left, or only one located at the driver's side (left side) footwell?

EDIT: And TC, you're right, checked today and when driving with high speeds (which I rarely do), the coolant is at about 70 deg. C, that's why I'm changing the thermostat finally (also noticed today that the leak is indeed the thermostat, looked in the V of the engine and is full of coolant), but before doing so, as said, I want to do a full coolant flush to get a healthy and protected system afterwards.
