Re: [T3] Heat - Couple of questions


Travis=> So was this a Type-3 only improvement.

Right, and that's mid and later Type 3s with the improved heat exchangers.
This system produces a lot more heat than the Type 1/2.

=> Why would the car need to try to override
=> your request for warm air?

Not override, just regulate -- you only want it to get nice and warm. I'm
serious about melting shoes with unregulated heat, it's happened.

Unfortunately a lot of people have replaced their stock exhaust systems with
aftermarket stuff that eliminates the rear exchangers, leaving them closer
to the Type 1 range heat-wise. In those cases the regulators are probably
not doing much at all.
