[Vwdiesel] Poor heater output

[Val Christian]

I tried this already.  Low satisfaction.  My take is that it sucks in
the air at the R pass feet, and then blows it back at the R pass
feet.  

The way it will work, is to blow the air out at your face, but then you feet 
will be cold.  If you're a driver, then your feet are really cold.

When it's really cold, one normally simplay wants to keep the driver from
gelling.  

Val

ps: Works better in the A4, than in the A2.
