Heater air intake lever

[Gripped]

On our new Bongo, there is a lever on the air intake system under the bonnet which feeds the heater fan.

Does anyone know what this lever does? It seems to have 2 positions, which I assume is designed to divert air somewhere.

Any ideas?




Cheers

Think i saw a pic recently on Facebook of a Bongo that had a humped extra bit on top of the normal under bonnet airscoop, with a lever that allowed the pulling in of air from ?exhaust manifold surrounds. The explanation given (by I think though i may be wrong ex BF award winner and now resident of Facebook Simon Jones) was that this was a North Japan mod for coping with extreme cold weather. Is yours like that?

One position is Summer the other is Winter, believe forward is for Summer.

Brilliant. That explains why we got engine fumes smell when the fan is on. I need to select "summer" setting obviously.

Thanks all !!
