HEATER? Heater!

We don need no stinkin heater...

Just kiddin' guys.

Have you tried to open a window as your driving?  It sounds crazy, but
VW says (said) to slightly open a window (rear pop-out if you got 'em)
to allow the cool air to escape and be replaced with the system's warm
air.  I've tried it and it works.

Otherwise, check your hoses (you know the ones from the fan housing to
the heaterboxes) for holes or other air leaks. Then time to get a little
dirty, check the hoses from the heaterboxes to the cab. Close up all the
holes you find.  THEN, (we ain't done yet!) check the hoses under the
back seat, AND how's your rocker panels under the doors? You know the
"heater channels"?  Now check that your levers (or knobs, depending on
how old), do the cables move?  Are they connected to the heaterboxes? Do
the heaterbox levers move? Are the flaps INSIDE the heaterboxes moving?
(It HAS happened!)

NOW try it.

Just MY 2 cents worth. :)
