Heater problems go " ohhh S#*%"

Looks like you never got a response to this question. My 88 mkIII heater stopped working and the dealer told me my heater core was clogged and wanted about $1500 to replace it. I declined and drove it about 2-years without a working heater before I discovered this site with all the great help ideas. Turns out my heater core is NOT clogged but my VSV was not working and I just bypassed it as mentioned in the postings and the heater now works. Your situation is different and definitely sounds like a leaky core, so, if you want the dealer to replace it.......
