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 engine compartment heater fan is actually a booster fan useful for when the engine is idling. Once the engine RPM's come up, it opens the small flaps on the fan shroud and delivers lots of air into the heat exchangers.
I have already started using the heater in my car to clear the windshield in the mornings, and couldn't drive without it. |
