Howdy List,

I have been tinkering with the climate control system in my '82
Air-Cooled Westy.  This vanagon is federal and has no auxillary heater
installed.  I have the following question:

Should the rear, passenger-area floor vent always blow heat when the
heat is on? Mine always blows heat (when heat is on) but I have
noticed in the Bentley that there is a cable actuated control on the
side of the rear, floor vent distributor.  I am curious if mine is
working correctly but don't want to drop the fuel tank to investigate
further.  Last winter I plugged the outlet holes on the rear,
passenger-area floor vent and saw a nice increase in the front vent
outputs, but would like to heat the rear occasionally and easily.

Thanks,

Jonathan Poole
