Hey All, this is a continuation of the posts I've been doing on the interior improvements I've done in the last 3 months. Today I'll talk about the ventilation system. This is one thing that I have liked about the 1303 super beetles ever since I got one, they came equipped with an improved ventilation system. VW redesigned their dashboard for the super beetles for the 1973 model year. When they did this they increased the windshield size, and updated the dash style. In doing so they also improved the ventilation system. This includes a better defrost system, as well as an improved fresh air system. The fresh air system includes a vent on the out side and a fan that directs air inside towards the passenger through rear facing vents on the dash board. Its a cool feature that sets aside this car from many vw's.
When I bought the car the fan and system worked great but it did not have the fresh air ventilation knobs. They were removed by the previous owner. They can sometimes be an annoying part to try and find. I was finally able to find some though. They nicely completed my dashboard for a very clean look. It is now very easy to turn on and off the air with the turn of a switch! It actually makes the car very pleasant to drive in the summer. Role the windows down, turn the ventilation and fan on, and you can't help but grin while driving down a sunny road. :)
