Subject:Brrr - is it always so cold in a Vanagon?
From:David Marshall

With the temps hanging around -25C my Double Cab never really warms up to
where I would like to see it - warmish air only comes out of the vents.
The coolant temp is right where it should be as well as the oil temp.  Is
there a posibility that the outside air is just too cold for the heater
core to warm up fast enough?  Should I put a piece of card board in front
of the heater intake so there is more warmer air from the rad being sucked
in?  Is there a piece of my heater "flap" system that isn't working right?
