    Smoke in the cab

    I'll have to wait a little while longer to do that as I've come down with some sort of bug and feel crap. I'll update this as soon as I do it. Thanks for your help.

    Smoke in the cab

    I ended up crawling around underneath it as much as I could today. There's greasy deposits on the outside of the heat exchangers that I could see but not really oily, more like crap thrown up from the wet roads on Saturday. Although I'm restricted a bit crawling around I couldn't see any obvious...

    Smoke in the cab

    Greyish black, seemed to come out of the ones on the top of the dashboard but I didn't have time to confirm it as I shut the levers straight away, my son thought that it smelt electrical, I've got a cold so couldn't really tell. Sorry about the lack of detail but my reaction was to close the...

    Smoke in the cab

    Everything is fine with the heater levers set to cold. If I move them to hot smoke virtually instantly comes out of the dash, from the air vents I guess.

    I've dug the pair out. Both are genuine VW and one has a welded patch, about 1" by 1.5", otherwise there's no repairs as far as I can see. Unfortunately the suppliers of new exchangers show them without the levers. Do you have a pic of your existing one so that I can compare them?

    Well away from me in Norfolk then. My understanding is that the heater levers are the other way around or something like that. I'll dig it out over the next couple of days or so to check and get some pics.

    I might have a heat exchanger but it may be from a Beetle. Whereabouts are you?

    Walk thru bracket (M501 kit?) needed

    I fitted a net there to keep ours back. I suppose it depends how big the dog is though.

    Oil bath wax thermostat

    The eBay search can be weird. I keyed the part number into Google search and then went via that.
