Got your link from another VW owner. DESPERATE FOR HELP. I now live in
Arkansas, moved here from Seattle WA.... DID NOT NOTICE (as it rarely get
either warm or sunny in the NW), BUT IT APPEARS MY HEATER IS STUCK ON THE
FULL ON OPERATION. Van is a 81 Vanagon, (air-cooled but air "HEATED IN
CAB"). I have the full shop manual and all checks out as to the book, which
is a wee bit vague on this area. AM curious how the heating system work to
shut off, as there is only one "Heater flapper valve" show. YET, THERE ARE
TWO separate pipes off the heater boxes. When I shut one off, it works as
advertised, but the "Y" connection is after it and the right hand one
(looking forward) has no such vale, nor does book show it. That means it
keeps pumping air into the cab. With outside air temp 90+ you can imagine
what the inside temp gets to  in a real hurry. Something is wrong, cannot
locate as all "appears" correct. Could use all and any help on this one
ASAP, can hardly drive it at this time as heat exhaustion imminent, it
seems. Thanks, e-mail to fwr@trafficking.net <mailto:fwr@trafficking.net> .
AM at point of "VW CAMPER FOR TRADE for BEST PICK UP", with AC!!!
