I'm looking to buy a 914. Seller has indicated there is only 1 heat exchanger and it is disconnected, because they 'only drive in summer'.
I hate cars without heat - even summer nights are chilly - and maybe I want to drive in the fall? But more importantly - doesn't the heat exchanger remove heat from the engine & help keep it cooler? (It's just our choice we sometimes redirect this heat into the cabin for comfort?). I'm sure I had this problem on a Beetle years ago - it had no heater boxes, same story, 'I only drive it in the summer!' and then the Beetle kept overheating & blowing engines. I would never buy a Beetle without heater boxes again - I don't know about heat exchangers (same thing?) on 914s. Don't know if its the same deal. Should I stay away from this car? I don't like overheating! Blown, warped engines & tow trucks make me grumpy. Anybody out there regularly driving their 914 without HEs on hot days for long stretches? A newbie to 914s, any help appreciated. |
