It can, but you will be MUCH better off fixing up those parts. You need the small paper upper hoses and the elbows. I have all those parts. They will give you much more air flow which is the real secret to heating the car. > 2.

It is rattling it's little a## off ;-) Yes, you can, but I recommend that you connect them up properly, as I mentioned above, so that you get the best heat possible. Hooking them up will reduce the rattles, too. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
