Hi again! It just hit me - a little drawback with your solution is that you have to be sure that there are no leaks on the sucking side of the system (especially around the heater chambers). Otherwise there is a risk that the fan will cause an underpressure in the heaters, suck in exhaust fumes and pump them into the cabin. Not healty! (-Right, Eduardo?) Some like it the suicide way, though... ;-) (-Right, Lisa?) But who am I to say - I almost gassed myself to death the other night, trying to make the f***ing gas heater to work - inside my garage! Not too clever.... /Karl-Olov Sandin > -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- > FrŒn: ned_glenn@hotmail.com [SMTP:ned_glenn@hotmail.com] > Skickat: den 12 januari 1999 17.19 > Till: type3@vwtype3.org > €mne: [T3] "Dark side" heater improvement > > Hi everyone, > On sunday I got fed up w/ my heater performance, (being that it was > a > beutifull 70 deg day w/ out a cloud in the sky).
