[Vwdiesel] Heat in the cold

[Shalyn Shourds]

Just finished beating some heat out of the TDI.  It's been blowing the evil
black foam out of the vents for years.  I had pretty much zero cabin heat
last time I tried it and occasionally we really do get around to having
some cold here in Texas....

Pulled the dash all apart and yup, the foam covering the vent doors was
completely gone.  I replaced it with aluminum HVAC tape and put just enough
dash back together to have heat and radio.  The rest will wait a day or
two.  I find that fighting VW dash plastic gives me Turrets-like thoughts
of "trade-in".

So yup, the stories are true.  VW heat runs on foam.  When the foam runs
out, so does the heat.
