Post by: JoKer on February 16, 2016, 06:24:09 PM
other than looping the hoses what's the simplest route?

heard of putting in a 'summer' tap' of some sort, still have the stock system including the Z pipe


images / ideas on a simple solution, would like to retain the car as stock as possible


tis a bit warm / noisey in this Kiwi summer heat

Our Chrysler has the same problem..the cable and tap lever are working fine, so the tap shaft must be stuck open and disconnected from the lever.
I just put a rubber plug (with a small through hole) in the top heater hose connection at the firewall..otherwise unbearable in summer.
