I think there was a recall on this ducting- maybe having to do with the att=
achment. It may not be in effect anymore=2C but sometimes recalls last for =
many years. I remember getting a Jetta years ago and even though it was qui=
te a few years old=2C it was still eligible for the heater core recall. You=
 might want to check with the dealer.
