Matt,

Did you call VW with your VIN first?  Vw had a recall of the heater
cores on Corrados and Passats.  Don't quote me on the year, but there is
a recall that is definitely worth the phone call.  We do them about once
a month and the mechanics love them.

I've got the entire dash out, but I can't figure out what holds the heater to the firewall???? I thought I'd ask before I start ripping out all of the insulation.
