Where are the flaps on a Porsche 911 heater?
Exiting out of the front end of the heat exchangers, the warm air enters what is known as the flapper boxes. These two boxes, located on opposite sides of the car, control the flow of hot air into the cockpit. They have flaps inside that are either open or closed.
When to replace a Porsche 911 heater hose?
If the heater hoses that connect the flapper boxes and the heat exchangers are broken or ripped, then you should replace them with new ones. Be sure that you only use high temp heater hose, as most other ordinary hoses from hardware stores will melt when exposed to the high heat from the heat exchangers.
Is the 911 automatic heater the same as the Carrera?
As for the link to the earlier thread posted above, be aware that the automatic heat systems in the 930 and the Carrera or 911SC are somewhat different. The Carreras also had an option of manual heat with a fan assist, which is also completely different.
How does a Porsche 356 heater system work?
The air from the fan is funneled through these heat exchangers, and heated by the fact that it is flowing past the hot exhaust pipes. With some of the Porsche 356 models, there were problems with the European heat exchangers rusting through the pipes. This caused the exhaust to become mixed with the air that was fed into the engine compartment.
How does the Porsche 911 heater system work?
As previously explained, the hot air from the heat exchangers is funneled behind the dash. The red lever on the climate control module determines whether the heated air will be directed at the windshield (for defrosting) or through the dash and lower vents for heating.

Where is the air conditioning vent on a Porsche 911?
Now you can have an additional air conditioning vent within a fingers touch. This is a fully adjustable vent designed by Griffiths exclusively for your 911 or 930. The center single Kuehl vent replaces the factory “bow tie” floor vent located on the lower bulkhead (fire wall) in front of your AC floor console.
Why is my Porsche 911 heater leaking oil?
When the car warms up, this oil will start to burn and smoke, and you can actually have smoke coming out of your dashboard vents if you are not careful. With this in mind, it’s a wise idea to repair all of the oil leaks that might drip on the heat exchangers before you activate your heating system.
