Good luck, and like said above, that evaporator should be in the plan.

You will find it will go back together quickly as long as you don't let it sit for a week.
I found putting it back together was much much quicker then taking everything apart lol

So my parts came this AM and with great excitement I began reassembly of the heater box only to discover upon opening the heater core box, that although it was physically identical to the unit I pulled from my car, the hose ends were completely different and would not fit the hoses in the car.
I had ordered by OEM p/n but apparently there are more than one hose end types.
This was from RockAuto and was a Valeo unit made in France.
Just ordered the one from IDparts as it appears to be the same as mine.
Now I won't get them till at least Monday or Tuesday.
Am I bummed.

There are no Valeo heater cores listed in rockauto under a MK4 Jetta TDI. Had a discussion with a few members a while back as we were trying to find a source of OEM heater cores without having to go to the stealer.
You sure the hose ends are different? Sounds like you got a core to a different car. All the hose ends I saw were the quick disconnect type and they were all the same.

Yes, I should have sourced it using MK4 VW instead of the OEM part#.
The ends are completely different although it is otherwise identical.
