[Vwdiesel] Too cold

[James Hansen]

Heck, I drove a 73 bus all winter one year when I was much younger.  Now
that was a skimobile.  There was enough heat just off the manifolds for up
to -20C.  After that, if you pulled onto the highway and got up to speed,
the heat loss out the front was so impressively fast, you could feel a
breeze generated by the convection.  Buddy and I used to laugh about the
thermal black hole it had on the front that operated at highway speed.  In
the city, I bet it was warmer than most cars, even without the aux heater.

I was beginning to wonder if we needed to start building heat exchangers for
the exhaust!  :-P Two fans, tightened up and cleaned exchangers and
fittings, flappers opening full and driving about 65mph plus, my 914 would
actually crank out comfortable heat in zero weather.  Other nice thing was I
could put "burn you" heat to the floor and cold, outside air to the
windshield.  That way you were warm, windshield was defrosted but not warm
enough to make ice on it after you get out.  :-)

This makes me wonder...what percentage of people who find the TDIs run too
old are running without the engine cover or the belly pan...

 up from the cold position (knob horizontally, pointed to cold) that the
engine will come up to temp, and put out just enough heat to keep the
windshield clear if I am driving by myself.  Downside is that you have to
dress like you are driving an aircooled bug.
