the freon is gone didn't see any leak, had AC check needed to recharge to find problem. AC just blows warm air.they said the evaporator core 1200 dollars. would need to take dash out to get to core two days.

Some pdfs that might help:

http://fkh161.ca/VW/Steering.pdf
http://fkh161.ca/VW/airbag.pdf
http://fkh161.ca/VW/dashpanel.pdf
http://fkh161.ca/VW/heaterunit.pdf
http://fkh161.ca/VW/overview.pdf

There are more links that need converting to pdf... but remove
components/screws as need be, to gain access to evaporator.

Assemble in reverse.
