Off Topic MKIV Jetta Question

[fahrvegnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

The dealer is the only place to find this item, this side of Germany
anyways...  You could get an aftermarket heater, but that would void your
warranty straight off (which you may choose to do anyways).  I want to say
that Patrick had an article of how and where to do this, but it was for a
'Rocc.  Your seat is a bit different, but the fundamentals are the same.  IF
I were you, I would take it up with the warranty company (not familiar with
what CPO is).  Don't give up until you get what you need...!

Anyone know where one might be able to find an OEM replacement front seat
heater for a 2001 Jetta? I am having a great time with the dealer and VW,
who neither of which seem to think this should be something covered under my
CPO warranty despite the fact that it's not a wear and tear item and the car
is still under this warranty for another 700 miles. They want $470 to do the
job, and they are sending it out anyhow to a local shop to get it done. If I
can find the part cheap perhaps I will take it to the individual myself and
have it done. Screw the dealer. I figured I would ask here since you are all
the mightiest of knowledge banks for finding replacement parts for just
about any VW.

Thanks,
Chris
