You will need to locate where the coolant is going first. Fill system and pressure test to 20psi. Install 3/8"Tee into bleeder hose at reservoir and apply air pressure to test system including cap, otherwise you will need the special adapter. Common leaks are cracks in plastic reservoir. Radiator and hose connections. Water pump leaks (original at 85K to 100K) Aftermarket pumps fail sometimes as early as 30K. Plastic thermostat housings warp and start leaking. As for the heater, they plug easily and won't work well if coolant is low. Never put stop leak in these cars beause it will plug the heater core. Fix the leak instead.
replaced thermostat still no heat or defrost should i replace heater core next
we bought car used and learned they had the green coolant and it requires the vw red stuff so thermostat was stuck open and i thought thats why we had no heat i replaced thermostat thought that fixed problem and drove in heavy rain and whole winshield fogged up bad defroster wasnt working so now thinking heatercore is clogged from mixing coolants im not losing coolant and a/c working so heatercore seems like next thing to try never owned vw before learning they are very specific as far as what they require
