RE: Terrible heating in 4kcsq.

<I live in IN and recently bought an 87 4kcsq.  We haven't really had a
<COLD snap until the past day or two.  One question comes to mind while
<huddled up next to the vent nearest the driver's door struggling to get
<warm:  WHAT THE HELL WERE THE BOYS AT AUDI THINKING WHEN THE MADE THE
<HEATING SYSTEM IN THE 4K?  All I can get out of the center vents in mine
<is cooooooold air.  The owner's manual states that this is what it's
<supposed to do.  Why?

So you can keep your feet nice and warm and get fresh, cool air on your face on those
loooooong midnight drives up to the ski mountains. I think this is an excellent feature!
I miss it on the 5K/200s.
  
	<How do you folks farther north cope with this?  I hate it (wait a
<minute, I still love the car though)!!  Has anyone on the list had any
<experience with modifying their car to include warm air from the center
<vents?  Any ideas for a cure would be warmly appreciated.

All of the I5 Audis I've ever experienced have had excellent heat, though we never get
much below -20 F. I suggest you check to see if the thermostat is installed and working properly.
