I was talking with my brother last night, and the subject came to VW's and the
heater core recall.  He has an '85 Jetta and I a '90 Golf, so I was wondering
if he'd received the second notice about the parts being available (the second
notice was promised, in the first letter, to be delivered within a few months).
He hadn't heard anything.

Since his was the first year to be recalled, I wasn't surprised that I hadn't
heard anything, but I was annoyed at VW's slowness (not that it was unexpected,
mind you).  So I gave a call to their consumer line this a.m. and asked about
the second letter.  I was told that they'd be going out starting next month,
and starting with '85 (and eventually working their way to '91).

At this rate, I might get the unit replaced before I get a new car.

Regards,
Scott
