When I got my 914 it had no heating system. Im thinking of rigging somthing. Where dose the heater fan draw air from? Surely not from the engine bay. Shouldnt it draw from the cab?

The heater fan is mounted in the engine bay and does draw air from that area. However, fresh air is being drawn in from the engine lid. I had mine cranked this morning (it was in the 40's) on the way to work and smelled nothing, nor did I feel in the least bit sleepy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I would suggest not rigging something up. You should be able to find all the parts used from members on this forum. You may have some of these parts already on your car.

Do you have heat exchangers on your car now? Is there anything connected to the two outlets on them?

I have no exchangers. only thing I can see that is there is the switch on the floor and I dont think it has any of the wires. kant find the wires in the engine bay. A bit of a mess.
