If significant air can be drawn in there, then this will be HOT air and the engine won't get sufficient cooling. This could lead to overheating the engine. In general, I like to see the bellows be completely intact if the car is going to be driven in hot weather. You may be able to do a temp repair with duct tape until you can get a replacement bellows, just make sure the duct tape can't be sucked into the engine! - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
