what is this orangey gunk on my hoses?

okay, cheers mate :) I thought that you might have had to put the blower/heater controls on hot or something - SWORE I read that somewhere.

Nah, that was on the old MKI and some early MKII Golfs... The heater matrix on the Corrado is PERMANENTLY in the coolant circuit, all the heater controls do is change whether the airflow goes through the matrix or not... 8)

 

Some people still say that you HAVE to put it onto the hot setting, but they're wrong... ;)
