[Vwdiesel] foam in vents

[David Cook]

If it were me, I would replace the core when I got far
enough to get to the flap.

After that, removing the heater core is nothing.

I had to replace the foam on my Corrado this fall, and
changed the core too.  I just knew that it would blow
up in two weeks if I didn't.

I figured that replacing the core was simply insurance
against "Murphy".
