[Vwdiesel] foam in vents

[David Cook]

I don't really know the setup in your Jetta, but in my
Corrado (the job I was referencing) you had to split
the heater box to get the flap out to put new foam on
it.  

After splitting the heater box, removing the core was
simply a case of pushing back a couple plastic tabs
and lifting it out.
