Any interest out there in doing that mini-project? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I can do pix of my 73 manual, & convert the pdf to jpeg for each page from another member's of the 74 manual that I'd downloaded off this site, from which I did those 2 pages to jpeg that I posted above (I don't recall who posted theirs in Acrobat Reader). Of course, then folks would be expected to actually read it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) before posting their questions in the Garage as the first resort! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) You can also find used owners manuals on evil-bay, as well as some new/NOS & reprinted ones from AA, Ecklers/Automotion/PP, Pelican, P-dealers, etc. - for those who like to have one. Mine was MIA when I bought my 73 2L in 12/75 - thanx to the OO/PO's kids, so I recently bought a new/NOS `73 one for about $35 IIRC. Of course I actually have read all my vehicle's owners manual at least once! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

QUOTE(Steve @ Jan 3 2013, 09:08 AM) Pretty sad, but i keep the bottom lever to the left, otherwise i get oil film on the windshield when I turn on the heat. That's my favorite setting anyway. The top lever middle to right, depending on how much air i need. The middle lever to the right, to force fresh air out the top vents. The bottom lever to the left to force hot air out the bottom. Perfect settings for when the top is off and its cold out. I definelty used the heater a lot more in Northen Cal. versus So. Cal, but heat is still nice to have. Looks like you need Windex injection for your heat exchangers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

QUOTE(euro911 @ Jan 2 2013, 09:37 PM) Well, now I can print this and keep a copy in that secret map pocket in the center cushion, just in case I forget how the damn controls work in the future (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ... and there's an escutcheon plate for the heater lever? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ... who has one of those??? Mark it was cool that you had that radio with you....That kid would of froze up there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I wonder if he had any idea how to use his heater (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I need to get one of those radios. |

I actually have the owners manual too. I was just joking about how our vent/heat controls usually stay set in one position. Or as Ron Poppeil said, "Set it and forget it".

QUOTE(76-914 @ Jan 4 2013, 08:16 AM) I think our member "Montoya"? beat you to this. I believe it is in his signature. I actually have the owners manual too. Yes, I think it was Montoya's posting that I'd downloaded before, & converted his pdf to jpegs for the 2 pages above. I did figure you're tongue-in-cheek about this out. However, I was suggesting more of a useful data bank of each MY 914/4 & 914-6 Owners Manual uploaded as jpeg pic per page, for those that need/want one & for reference. There really are a bunch of questions which are covered in the 914 owners manuals, that get asked repeatedly - particularly starting in Spring when 914's hatch from their winter cacoons across the northern reaches! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) My favorites are the how do I start my 914 (usually ones not holding the gas to the floor while cranking, as per the manual), and then later in summer - the batch of repeating hot start/vapor lock problem posts.

Th funny thing is up in the seattle area we can spot the SoCalers up here! most still run around with the air vents on recycle air, (modern cars) like the ac is on. When it rains all that moister inside the car fogs all the windows on the inside. I see it every day and have to laugh.
But the Vanagon guys have the same problem down there. As soon as the temp hits 59 the threads start up "what position gets me heat?" But up here its "How does the AC work?" for the one day it cracks 90. jcl |

QUOTE(a914622 @ Jan 5 2013, 06:35 AM) ...But the Vanagon guys have the same problem down there.... jcl Had an interesting chat with another former Vanagon owner at our OCR/PCA breakfast today, who had the same problem with theirs, about VW Vanagon AC - not made for humid climates! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Midwest, Eastern & Southern Vanagon owners know what I'm talking about. Every year in our `88 Westy we'd hit about OKC on I-40 heading east, & the cold rain condensation starts coming down on the back seat/cargo area due to inadequate drainage; then it stopped about there heading west - as soon as the humidity dropped to desert/semi-arid levels! I solved it by taping a plastic Home Depot wall paper trough below the rear A?C vents (nothing goes forward on pop-tops), with a drain tube out to the rear sub-floor channel on the side sliding door. I then removed the "drain rig" after each trip, for SoCal/Southwest/PacCoast driving the rest of the year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
