I remember the discussion from a while back, and it was mentioned that that
was the way it was supposed to work.  So you can get incredible heat but
fresh air as well.

Incredible heat?  I have two friends with 16v sciroccos that have nothing close
to incredible heat, the vents do work how you mentioned though.  I thought I
would finally get an answer but I guess not.  What else do you recommend
checking?  One thermostat is new, and they both run around the middle of the
water temp gauge.  I was going to put in a higher temp racing thermostat to
give better heat in the winter but I am not sure if it is a good idea.  How
high does oil temp usually run in a 16v?  A friend has a GTi that would run
about 210 on the highway, while my 8v and a few other 8v run at 160 or so?  All
those measurements are from the MFA, how accurate is that thing? Well let me
know what you think...
