I had a 90 Jetta (sold it at 160K miles)  There was a recall for the heater
core (could rupture and spill hot coolant).   Check with the dealer...
If it _is_ the core, and _if_ it hasn't already been done, then you have a
free one coming.  Takes half a day or so, even for the dealer.

While I'm in here.... I'm replacing the plugs on my 98 glx soon (already
ordered).
Does anyone know the proper torque?  15 ft-lbs?

Thanks,
