Lever behind air intake...what it for?

Post by AeroNut » Tue Mar 22, 2011 2:00 pm

Hi, can I have some info please?

There is s lever behind the air intake under the bonnet which can be put in 2 positions. Can someone tell me what it's for and what position should it be in? Thanks

Thanks for the this one. I'm also puzzled with the use of this one. By the way, will a new ram air intake affect the process if I get a new one?

Bear in mind, the lever is for the air intake to the vehicle interior for heating / cooling and nothing to do with the engine air intake.

if you have a digital heater control, you will find a small servo inside the intake connected to the lever from inside, and should close the intake when you use re-circulate.

Its a cold climate control lever, push the lever towards the bulkhead (rear of vehicle) for Cold climate. Push the lever towards the radiator (front of the vehicle)for normal lovely English weather.
