Volks, worked my way to the front heater fan in my '85 Westfalia 1.9 WBX
checking out why it wasn't working. Found the fan completely rusty and dead.
Hardly turns by hand. Anyways, as I was taking the heater core out of the
flap housing, I found a square piece of sheet metal with 3 dozen holes in it
covering 2/3 of the height of the core. Obviously an airflow restrictor. I
think it was on the output side of the core, because there was dust and sand
and dead bugs trapped underneath. My fan's been dead a long time, and I
don't remember really what the output was, but is it ever enuff? And when
it's cold why would you want to restrict the output of your front heater?!
So I've kinda decided to leave that restrictor out when I put it back
together with a new fan, but I wanted to ask the list for input maybe I am
missing something.

Thanks as always. Frohe Weihnachten!
