If you mean the vac unit in the air intake.. then yes it should.. when the intake temp is low the flap will open/close to suck warm air from arounf the exhaust pipe.. in reality, its not really needed unless its very cold..

I havent had one fitted to either of mine for years... when its cold its a good idea to let it run for a minute or 3 whilst the engine gets some heat into it.. this usually isnt a problem as the windows are frosted up and require clearing and demisting etc...
