Heater Manuals On-Line http://www.conservatory.com/vw/manuals_nyx/ this may help too http://www.type2.com/bartnik/ba6art.htm If you get absolutely nothing when you turn the switch --- look for the circuit breaker. On the 84 gas models it's under the dash to the right of the steering wheels on a roughly 2 inch square black box. This was all that was "wrong" with mine --- maybe you'll be lucky too.
