In Other news, the '04 Special Edition had a low coolant indication while driving home from work. The drips looked like they were coming from the left front, but when I removed the front belly panel, I saw that the coolant was coming from the HVAC drain. I replaced the heater core a while ago with one that I had from a parts car. Since then I've learned that it's best to buy a New one. It's a lot of labor to replace - removing the front cowl, windshield wiper assembly, and battery.

What's the story of the VW you are towing? (Not that the rest is less interesting )
