I an get you new rear core for $100.00. Fronts not avaiable aftermarket. In fact I've been waiting 3 weeks for dealer to get me one. Call VW and complain, 1-800-822-8987. Ask why Jettas are recalled and Vanagons are not. Also beware of that bleeder screw on the valva assembly. I've seen many break spilling hot coolant al over the place. I think the bean counters at VW have too much control. Plastic screws for the cooling system. All the plastic flanges also like to crack at the worst times. E- mail me if good FLAPS can't get that core for you. Dennis.
