See what you've done, Cool Fred? You have everyone all excited about heater
boxes. Do you have a type 4 engine? If you do then no one can help you, you are
in Type 4 hell. The type 4 was when VW stopped loving us. Didn't VW give us the
diesel Rabbit right after T4?
If you have T4 then you will just have to sell Caroline and consider her as a
failed first marriage.
I say all this because I don't think you have a T4 in Caroline and I am, as
they say, busting your chops.
Heater boxes are about the lowest tech. Call Way Out Salvage and buy them used.
Take a Saturday and go pick them up. Oak Hill will also have them. Decide who
is closer.
