[T3] Heater Hose

[Dave Hall]

I can well believe that.  I was driving a carload of school kids in my 1964
Variant on a very cold day, so had the heaters on.  However, the rear vents
were fully open and one of the kids put the rubber floor mat over the outlet
to save his feet getting boiled rather than ask if the heat could be turned
down.  The smell of burning rubber some time later alerted me to what had
been done and the culprit owned up ('fessed up).

Before the hot air was thermostatically controlled, it certainly could get
hot on a fast run.

Does anyone have a copy of the VW magazine, Small World with an article
about someone who put groceries in the rear foot well with the heater on.
When they got home there were several eggs in a carton which were "hard
boiled".

I remember our two kids ( 8 and 5) used to complain about their feet getting
"too hot" when we drove for several hours in the winter with the rear heat
vents turned full on.

The copy of Small World that I had (and disposed of "before I saw the
light") may have been in an issue, sometime after October, 1969.
