those flaps were a moment of retardedness from vw. Why cut big holes in them then cover the holes with foam that goes brittle and falls off  :rolleyes:

Think theres a flap inside the dash that blocks off the hot air isnt there, maybe this is closed off? Might be best asking Horney or Diamond Hell though, they seem to live and breathe old golf stuff man.

i had thought about that but i get hot air for about 10 seconds of turning the blowers on then stone cold

also u forgot mr jonny on that list lol all mk2 gods  :evil: :evil: :evil:

I did forget yes! Sorry Mr Jonny  :smiley:

came across this while looking for some paperwork




curious...
does this go for the models in the US? for example if i took my mk2 to a reputable vw dealership here in washington state would the laws that back up this letter have any authority? would i really get my car worked on for free?
