Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Very wet afternoon testing at Donington in the Boxster. Survived a 1080 degree spin at the Craner Curves when I hit a river….had the track pretty much to myself from mid afternoon as everyone went home!

Took the car for a drive to try out the new heater flaps, guess what, still getting hot air on the drivers side with new heater flaps with the flaps open, so heat off
So come on then, why am i still getting heat?

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Have you,checked the valve is actually opening / shutting the same as the passenger side with the hand lever up,or down ? End of the day the only way heat is getting in is through those 2 flexi hoses from the heat exchangersmarkm wrote:No. Passenger side cool, drivers side hot.

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
I had this is mine. The flap in the heate box had overtime created a little ridge and wasn't fully closing when the lever was down, even though the spring was still fine. Needed taking off and cleaning up, and now returns properly.

Expansion air/oil breather tank fitted to my 914. Just waiting on the hoses to arrive to connect.
No more oil/hot air being pumped into the carbs
