There is coolant leaking behind the firewall. I have concluded that it must be the heater core. Is this correct? If not, what else could be causing this?

Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is the information you requested. Here is a tutorial showing how to replace a heater core:

I would check the heater core hoses first at the firewall to see if it is a bad or leaking connection first. I've attached picture steps below on how to replace the heater core on your Jetta. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
