    One thing to note- the MK 3 heater core I bought (I was told it would fit the MK 2) is slightly different to the original MK 2 unit.

    Yes the MK 3 unit slides in and works, but the angle of the dangle for the hoses is slightly different and makes tighteneing up the hose clamps a real pain in the butt. Beggars can't be choosers it would appear.

    Also, after exhausting my contacts in Australia, Europe, UK and the USA for a replacement hose from the cylinder head to the heater core & trans cooler, I went and sourced all the fittings and hoses localy to replace the original torn hose today.

    As my car is an automatic (sigh), the original hose is extremely unobtainable, hence the new hoses and fittings.

    This concludes (I hope) my coolant and heater issues for this car.

    Enjoy your MK 2's chaps!
