>>Hi Volks,
>>        I called the "VW dealer" here in Traverse City, MI to check on the
>>cost of a rear heater core for my '86.
>>        When the parts guy got back to me he first apologized, I knew that
>>this was going to be bad news. Over $800!! We discussed the part, and we
>>agreed that that was what I wanted. It was NOT the whole box, just the
>>heater core.
>>        Wow.

>I just got one--from the dealer in Atlanta it was $157, mail order from
Camelback VW in Phoenix it was $116.  I also bought a new valve, since mine
was shot--that was another $60 or so.  Your dealer is nuts--call Camelback
in Phoenix--don't have the number on me but they have a toll free line--call
800 information at 1-800-555-1212.  UPS can have it to you in five days.
