Together, these can freeze you out of your Vanagon. In my DIY evaporator, I used an Audi A4 (B5 generation) evaporator and a Toyota pickup/4Runner blower fan.

I like your set up better than the others. any chance I can have a look at your set up?

When I did open the flap for air I don't recall it ever being blown shut, but honestly? I rarely opened it, and when I did it was just a smidge. I don't know how you swung your air shut off door, but on my heater mod to stop the Ram Air ingress, I hinged the door to swing out into the stream of air.Īt speed with the flap closed the Ram Air closes it even tighter perfectly stopping the air flow. In the meantime, I have reduced the force acting against this mechanism by another kludge, duct taping the whole air inlet screen closed except for about a 2.5" by 2.5" square area left open. If you can place enough force on the HVAC lever, it will keep the ambient air out. I am going to remove the dash sometime in the near future for a number of things needing attention and will revise the closing mechanism then. The kludge I use is to put a rubber band on that lever and attach the other end to one of the diff-lock knobs - not very elegant. The exterior air pushes against the flap and pushes the flap, the bowden cable and the sliding lever on my HVAC lever panel and allows ambient air in. The reason is that I used an axle-type steel rod at one end of the flaps, instead of at the middle of the flaps. My system for sealing out ambient air ingress could be perfect, but it is not perfect at the moment.

I have read that a number of those removing the factory Vanagon air/heater. ![]() Posted: Mon 11:14 pm Post subject: Re: DIY Front Air Conditioning Quick sort: Show newest posts on top | Show oldest posts on top
