You have the early (68-70) system. The late (71-3) system is more complicated so the manual spends more time on it. > I get a huge amount of water leaking from these funnel > things, which appear to fill with water. Yes, it's plugged up water drain hoses. A VERY common problem with an easy solution. I'm sending my writeup on this directly to you. Fix it quickly before it rusts out the floor. The knobs control airflow thru those boxes. Basically they are set up so that you can have fresh air in the summer and close them off in the winter. I believe the upper one controls the above the dash air on both sides, while the lower knob controls below the dash air on both sides. The later airbox divides these functions up differently. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
