It sounds like your front heater core is going bad.  We are having a
special on these this month for $199.  Plus I have the clips you are
going to need to put the housing back together with, and the front
blower motor as well.  If you have to pay to have a mechanic to replace
your front heater core you might as well get the blower fan replaced at
the same time since there is no extra time required.  Let me know if I
can help you further.

I am wondering if someone has had this before and if this is pointing to something serious.  I have it going in to a VW mechanic today for a regular tune-up and oil change and thought I would check with all of you if anyone knows what might be the culprit and save me some trouble shooting cash.

It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded."
