Are they interchangeable with any other VWs?

The heat exchangers are all the same. None of the heat exchangers are available NOS any more. They have been gone a long time. The rears are a problem because of that big pipe union. Many people can't get those off and end up throwing the whole thing away. Remember the first rule of repairs: "Don't throw ANYTHING away until the replacement is bought, installed, and proven good." If there are people out there who need their rear heat exchangers pulled apart, I can do it for $30 a pair, plus shipping. This is a good deal if you are local, but I realize that the shipping on these makes it marginal.
