I have a 1973 914/4 2.0 which is is partially disassembled.
It came with two hot air blowers: Single Port - Working Motor In 1973 there was apparently a switch between the dual outlet blower to a single outlet with a Y pipe. I was thinking I would like to use the dual outlet one so I thought I would swap in the working motor. Two questions: 1) Does the dual outlet unit provide better heat flow through the heat exchangers than the single outlet with a Y connector? Any pointers to pictures of each type mounted/hoses? 2) How to remove the motor: Removed the 6 screws on the motor flange Thanks in advance Scott Attached thumbnail(s) |

If you have good heat exchangers, there will be enough heat coming into the cabin with the single outlet blower.
I added the Y pipe and hose to the passenger side, but rarely pulled the lever far enough to activate the blower. ( it only comes on at about 3/4 to full on the lever) didn't really like the looks and additional clutter of the hose going to the passenger side. So i removed it and capped that side. As it came originally. I get plenty of heat as it is. |
