- Yuck. So, symptoms wouldn't include slow engine warmup, and overall low
- heat from the heater? Perhaps I just have to get used to non-hellacious heat
- blasting out of the heater. My friend's 88Golf blasts volcanic heat, while my
- 87GTI only feels warm when you put your hand on the vent - by the time the air
- reaches your face, it's not warm at all.

- Supposedly, a previous owner had the first letter, and had the core replaced,
- but I didn't know what this '2nd letter' stuff was about......
