Re: [T3] heater upgrade


JeffP=> I never understood why VW didn't
=> put fans in their vehicles.

The Type 3 fan moves more than enough air for just about any heat need,
defroster too. But the whole system has to be in place and tight, which I
find is relatively rare. People are just too willing to toss out parts they
don't understand or let them fall off without replacement.

=> I get next to no air out of my defroster.  Or are my
=> vents plugged up somehow?

Check three things:

Are the heater vents in the cabin all closed? That's how warm air gets to
the defrost vents.

Are your cool air lines in place and properly attached to the heat
regulators and fan shroud elbows? If either of these pipes is missing,
you're both losing air pressure and dumping warm air under the car.

Are your heater channels complete, no rust holes?
