Night heater in the summer

Soldier z:

GasGas:
The original air-cooled VWs had an exhaust gas heat exchanger as a demister/heater.

If it holed, you had exhaust gas ducted inside the car.

Those pesky Germans just never know when to pack it in.

Didn’t a lot of coaches/buses have them also? I can often remember the hot smell of diesel blowing into the bus on school trips :smiling_imp:

Back in the 1970s our school transport was a particularly decrepit fleet of Duple Bedfords (anyone remember Bare Reggies and Risk-It as they were known locally).

Smoke pouring from under the engine hood beside the driver was a regular amusement as they climbed steep hills, and sometimes we had to get out and walk because the bus couldn’t make it up the hill laden.
