I have a question regarding my '73 Squareback, and I'm not sure that anyone else is experiencing the same problems that I am. The problem first happened last summer when I was on a 10,000 mile road trip from Arizona to Boston then to Portland Oregon, when an elbow from the stock exhaust system that goes from the right side of the fan housing to the upper heat exchanger (180 degree elbow) blew itself off completely. I bought another one somewhere in Indiana, and thought it must have been loose or something. Anyway, I bought a new exhaust system last summer when I got back to Portland, and that was the end of those elbows, now there are two pieces of flexible hoses that go strait from the fan housing to the heat exchangers. Well, I just got back from a 1,300 mile trip to Colorado, and on the same side the elbow blew off, the hose had broken, it didn't slip off, the thing was ripped violently into several chunks. Does anyone have any suggestions? (I thought about maybe a clogged heat exchanger, but the heaters work fine, thank god, it's real cold here in AZ this time of year!). Thanks all. -Elliott Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
