  Usually asking about the heater core recall for 85 and later VW's is 
sufficient.  
Have the vin handy as they'll need it to verify if it's been done already or 
not.  
If not then it's a freebie. :-)  Just make sure the anitfreeze concentration 
is 
sufficient after it's done.  When a dealer in Seattle (about the closest one) 

finished mine, the coolant went from being good to -45F to 15 or 20F!  Winter 

was on the way too.  I could've easily lost a block, radiator and heater core 

if I hadn't checked and drained some of it to replace with coolant.  :-P
  It was no charge though.
