I really don't want to put the teener away until the snow falls. But this morning had me wondering about installing the Eberspacher heater - they made a version for the type 4 motor and Ark Mirvis from the Samba has them available. Anybody ever do this? In case you are wondering, I have no heat, Evo Headers without any heater box - in my humble experience the heat from the heat exchangers was minimal at best. Ideas??

Actually the stock heating/defrost system is fantastic from my experience. Its important to have the heat duct gaskets in place and the auxiliary fan, but there is enough heat to cook an egg in the cabin. With headers I guess you are SOL.
Webasto also made a gas heater for the 914, but I have never seen one other than these photos, from SirAndy: Attached image(s) |
