What position do you put the heater controls to turn on the heat in a 1977 vw bus?

I think this is a little bit of a trick question. Let me explain: The heating in an air cooled bus relies on heat exchangers around the exhausts warming air which is then forced down pipes under the vehicle and into the ducts at the front, and at the rear. If you set the heating controls so you can feel air coming out of the ducts, you are probably set correctly. Unfortunately they are notoriously poor and generally don't get any heat to the front. On mine, I replaced the heat exchangers, I checked all pipes were sealed, but still in winter I barely had enough heat to clear the window. I travelled down through Belgium to the South of Germany one year, and it was so cold the screen wash froze, and I had to use hot tea on the windscreen every couple of miles to be able to see where I was going!
So, check the system out, and perhaps invest in an Eberspacher heater - that will make winter travel tolerable.

Does the engine temperature control the heat in the car?
The engine's thermostat controls the engine coolant temperature. The temperature control inside for the heater controls the cabin heat.
How is resistance used in a space heater?
In an electrical space heater, electrical current dissipates energy into heat, and the heat radiates from the element. In a fuel powered space heater, an orifice throttles the fuel feed (resistance to flow), which controls the heating rate. In a steam powered space heater, an orifice throttles the steam (resistance to flow), which controls the heating rate.
Do you have heat when a water pump is broken?
More than likely you will not have heat being the water wont be circulating through the heater core , When the hot water passes through the heater coil the air passing through the heater coil makes heat blow out the vents when you have selected a heat setting on your controls.
Where are the heater core controls for the front heat on a 1996 Chevy Suburban?
up your mom and around the corner
No heat in your Chevy c-1500 you have replaced the heater core the thermostat water pump and have enough coolant in the system but still no heat?
Check the heater valve and/or the controls to the valve. maybe a problem with the controls, most of them are run off of vacuum, if a hose has a hole in it, it wont work
Why does a 1987 Astro van have no heat and blows cold air out vents?
It's either the thermostat or the heater controls.
Where is the problem in the heating system when rear heat works but front heat does not?
I would first check either the controls to the front heater core or a blocked front heater core. It could also be a blocked or missing heater hose to the front heater core, although that seems quite unlikley.
2000 silverado heat wont work not thermostat not heater core not controls whats wrong?
try the bend door
You are getting a lot of heat through your 1977 Corvette firewall and you know it's not the heater and ideas?
you need heat shields under the carpit if they are missing.
Your heater fan is set to max but only blows out low heat?
The heater fan ONLY blows the air, it does not make the temperature of that air. Your heater temperature controls how hot the air is. Adjust your heater temperature for hotter or cooler air.
How can you switch the heater from cool air to hot air?
the make and model of the car would help in determining your problem it is possible that this could be a problem with a switch that controls the position of a door that blends heat with cool air.aka-blend door actuator.
Your 2001 GMC Sonoma has no heat?
It is possible the thermostat has stuck in the open position therefor not letting the engine heat up. It could also be the heater core or possibly the hoses to the heater core are disconnected.
