easy question that I don know, until I know..... what is the correct off position for the heater controls for everything off, if you want to describe everything else on getting the best out of the settings then please feel free to explain thank you
blue opens and shuts the front flap one red turns off the heat by dumping open the pods on the exchangers, in the full on position with ignition running on a type 4 engine the snail fan should run. the other diverts air to either screen or feet or rear if you have a microbus.
Here's a guide which includes what the levers do. http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/freemefromthishell/vw/T2 Heating.htm
He probably thought the description next to the red 2 was good enough. I suppose he could have added "moving the lever up you receive progressively less until the lever is at the top and the airflow stops"
that's the one I was looking for, so how come I am getting hot air in the cab when my levers are in this position? snapped cable?
no, I mean you'll probably find your cables are broken or seized or missing and in order to get heat someone has cable tied the pods open so they are just on hot all the time, if the cable breaks or isn't connected the pods shut and dump all the hot air causing no heat to come in the bus.
Niether am I - if he isn't trying to be funny, Its a shame he needs us! If he is trying to be funny, he's a friggin genius and we need him! Either way he will do!
