considering the remedies/replacements you have carried out have you checked that the cooling fan is operating ? also as for heater cold? this may be also the possibility that your engine has a cyl head gasket failure ie hot compression fro cylinder is blowing via gasket into cooling system resulting in this gas finding its way into heater pipes and air locks preventing coolant flow thro heater best advice is to have cooant pressure test or what is known as a sniffter test at the head tank this will determine if gasses are present from engine do you see any slight oil film in head tank? as this is another sign of gasket in early stages of failure a garage doing these tests will be able to confirm or not ? if h/gasket problem hope this helps ?

The engine oil specifications can be found on the top of the filler cap under your hood, as well as in the VW Owner's Manual under specifications. VW's produced from the late 1990's typically use 5W-30 motor oil, and in the 1980's they typically speced 10W-30 (API*,SL 10W-30) motor oil. Your car knows best, check those locations first.

The cause is the Brake Master Cylinder. Replace the Master Cylinder and you will need to Bleed the Brake System also. If you have not done this Before, I would recomend a Pro Install and Bleed the System for you.

keep cvs out of the way. lower engine a little. make sure the two dowels that line up the engine with the gearbox are present. if not look/find/purchase them. make sure the clutch plate is as centered as possible with either the plastic tool that comes with a new clutch kit or any other fairly accurate method( this drastically improves fitting time) keep the gearbox on a jacking device and push it in when it is fairly reasonably the same height. this requires some effort/brute force/help but once you can feel that the clutch is lined up then it is easy from there. once the gearbox slides in put one bolt in and have a cup of coffee. come back to complete the job later. hope this helps.

it could just be the water pump is finished, or not tightly against the engine (there is an o ring between it and the engine).

you could try the air filter, but if not that check oil condition and level. if it is a milky colour then you mite have a leaking head gasket which could cost you quite a lot to have repaired

Unfourtinately the transmission you have is an unservicable transmission. The only way to have the tranny fixed is to have it rebuilt or replaced. I regret to inform you of the bad news.

they may be a third bolt goin in the other way. sometimes they are hard to see

look where the lower hose comes out of the engine block
