Could have a Webasto heater, those were available equipment. My mother's first car was a similar era beetle. She said the problem wasn't in having enough heat it was in being able to control it adequately. Apparently you either fried or froze, there were no in between settings.
Living in northern Maine and the land of harsh winters my mother had a Type 3 VW which had totally inadequate heat which knowing my Dad was probably enhanced by totally rotten heat exchangers. Anyway they had a small catalytic propane heater which would heat the inside of the car in about 2 minutes. However you had to be really careful because it was so hot it would melt the dash... The car is gone, blew a rod out through the side of the case on I-95 one day but still made it home. The heater lives on in my Uncle's airplane... -Curt Date: Sat, 17 Dec 2011 21:14:22 -0500 From: Mitch Haley <m...@voyager.net> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Fw: vw antartica Message-ID: <4eed4c7e.4020...@voyager.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Craig wrote: > A video to amuse you. > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_FftkcIIdg This isn't what I've heard about Beetles driven in Michigan in the winter: "Despite the cold outside, the heater keeps the inside comfortable. The demister keeps the windscreen clear."
