    My car was only giving heat on driver side, so the mechanic shop told me that the heather core probably needed too be changed.

    I have been fighting loss of heat in my Passat for years. About 3 years back I started flushing the heater core with CLR every season with some success.

    I too have a heater problem of no heat at all. I decided to check the codes on the climatic control system before I attempted to bleed air from the system, or flush the system. The air circulation system seems to be working ok, with the vents opening on the dash and toward the passenger...

I've read tons of great information in this forum about the heater core, both flushing and replacing. However, I wanted to know if someone can comment on or provide a "order of operations" of things...

    I'm scouring this forum for an answer before I take my 2000 Wagon with 100k miles on it to the dealer and say "FIX IT." There are lots of posts, of course, but I want to know if replacing the heater core is the ONLY answer. I just bought this vehicle in September, and I have no heat. Temp is...
