Stupid maintenance

Didn't get to work on my undertray this weekend.
Too busy doing this:



to get to here;



To remove and replace the stupid aluminum and plastic heater core and fix the dreaded blender door missing foam. This is the Achilles heal of the Passat B4. The heater core will fail, and its a 10 hour repair job at the dealer. I will be a little over that in hours.

At least now I will have heat this winter, and have a new stereo wired up.
