to do it correctly, one must remove the complete heaterbox assembly.

I assume the heater core leaks. Replacing a heater core right (removing the box) on most cars would require a lot more hours of work for a novice than one would think. It is sad these things fail and are hard to replace. VWs seem less prone to such failures than many cars. I wonder if a different antifreeze would have made it last.

Except he used the "chopper" method! That kind of work done at the dealer
would get the tech fired! Chopping a hole in the side of the heater box isn't the correct way to do the repair, but it's your car.
