Title: Thema heater or not! Post by: murf on 07 January, 2008, 01:19:43 PM Is there anyone out there who knows how to get hot air out of the so called automatic heating system. When I bought the 8v turbo last summer it would only blow hot air which was solved by fitting one of the two 'spare' control boxes that came with the car. I've now tried all the boxes and every combination of temperature, flow direction and fan speed without being able to get more than a pathetic trickle of tepid air out of the system.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to overcome the problem or is there no solution Title: Re: Thema heater or not!
