SStones re-butts: > If it's not air in the system, it could be that your heater core is > all plugged up with crud. > You really should get full heat at full fan. Well... My heater core should be free and easy! I boiled it out and flushed it. I disagree with full heat at full fan for 2 reasons: 1.) I don't think anyone with ANY water cooled volkswagen gets full heat on the 3rd speed. People, please prove me wrong! I think VW feels that 3rd speed is for summer ventilation flow, not max heat as per #2 2.) The Van manual (not that I'm a believer in owners manuals) says max heat is derived with the fan in #2, not 3 > I know this sounds patronizing Dan, don't hate me for it. No hate taken, you'd have to tell me which oil to use to REALLY tick me off :) > A lot of people don't know how to use the controls. Right. But remember I'm a geek so I've dug around and found out what lever does what. Another :) > For best heating you should have them set... Point well taken... > top, right windshield > 2nd, right hot > 3rd, left feet > 4th, left flow > > A lot of people think that that flow one, bottom, should be closed off > to warm the van, but as long as your heater core is heating... Well, I was under that impression.
