ridiculous heater control question

[dugcati]

the early water cooled ones let out cold air on the side dash vents, later its all warm!

my Aircooled is the same as this - freeeeeeezing out of the side vents - all heat comes from the centre 'feet' bit or the window vents

Incidentally the 3rd lever on my Aircooled controls a mixture of the warm air from engine and fresh air meaning I can have much more flow of air but very cool or hot air with not much flow - a strange setup!

Top is defrost .middle is amount of heat, lower is for floor vents. If there is a forth, its for the rear.

Maybe mine are connected up wrong!

Aircooled or water ? I don't know if they are different. Or it's not impossible someone had it apart once and didn't put it back the same.

Are we talking about the same van? My top lever is for the windscreen. My middle lever is for the feet vents. and the bottom lever is attached to the hot water water valve. I haven't worked out how the door vents work.

clearly yours is not correctly "wired up" , however, it all works, dont worry about it...
the vents in the doors are fresh air only, and very handy to keep air flow when sleeping.
Also very handy if you happen to suffer with sweatly a*** and thighs inthe middle of winter......designed to freeze the aforementioned parts anytime from Dec-march!
