Hey DJ,
The stock MK2 / 3 / 4 / ect VW colant systems don't have a valve to stop cooolant going through the heater core at all.
They just don't duct the air through the core if you don't want heat.

If I was you I would put the heater coolant valve you have on the bypass hose and leave the heater core full flow all the time. If you want heat use the valve to block the by pass and coolant will be forced to flow through the heater core only. If you don't want heat then open the valve and the coolant will travel through the lese restrictive bypass and minimise flow through the heater core.

Where are you usually mid-day? If it's the east end let me know.
