Re: [T3] Heater Question

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

Wayne,
The heater control is a double wire with a single end that hooks
into the right-hand lever.  You should also see two tubes just
behind it in the tunnel to take these wires, and another to control
the rear outlets beneath the back seat.  The twin wire is the same
as the super Beetle, and is greased and fed into those tubes
mentioned above.  At the frame rear are two rubber cones that you
will have to remove while feeding the wire through.  Replace them
after, to seal the conduit.

It's not a difficult job, but you really need to remove at least one
seat to get to the area, and the carpet (rear?) as far as the
tunnel.  Does the e-brake stay in or not?  Can't remember, but I
think so.

Dave.
