I also had my heat exchangers replaced by VW.  The replacements were not
the original aluminized type but are painted steel.  They do not seem to
kick out as much heat.  The insides were evidently coated with a sinter
or powder coat.  After two years flakes of this coating still fly out of
the defrosters and heat ducts.  I have some old aluminied exchangers
which I am saving for the day these replacements rust out.
