I posted this last year, heating season is here again. These are big cracks, a tiny one you would not be able to hear would still be dangerous. These are not accident damaged. If you have a set on your car, grab the carbon monoxide detector from home and take a ride with the heat on and windows rolled up. There is a detector used in small aircraft also available. The last photo is how we now test for leaks using air pressure. Brad

Great thread!
This is my first air-cooled car. I do have exhaust leak (haven't looked for it yet) and the thought of a leak coming through the heater did cross my mind but wasn't sure how to check/know for sure. The CO tester in the cab is a great ideal everyones needs to know/do. Needs to be told to all new poeple somehow. Maybe in a check list for newbies. First things to check out when getting a 914. My 6 year old rides in the car with me. Alot at stake by not knowing. I'll be getting one before I take my car out for a drive again! |
