This is the first winter I have owned my 968 and I have a question about the fan controls. When I turn the fan speed to 0 I still get a small amount of ventilation coming through. With my old car I could fix this by turning it on to recirculate, but that does not seem to help here. So I find myself constantly adjusting the temperature b/c if I go just a little bit to warm it warms things up in a hurry, and if I turn it a little cooler it starts cooling the car off. On a day like today it is not a problem, but on a warmer day when I really don't need heat or A/C it becomes tedious. Is there anything I can do, or do I just chalk it up to the car being 15 years old?



Thanks.

This has been discussed before. The fans on these cars always run, even at the 0 setting. Not a good design, but apparently they all work that way. I have the same problem. When the car has been sitting in the sun, the air around the ventilation system under the hood heats it, and hot air blows into the car. Sometimes I turn on the AC to cool it down bit and then turn the system "off" again.

That is what I figured. No big deal, just didn't know if anyone else had come across a better way to control it. Given how much fun I have behind the wheel every day I think it can be overlooked.

On the plus side, the 968 has one of the most effective HVAC systems I have ever had in a car. Heat comes on fast, AC works well even on sweltering southern summer days, and the windshield and rear glass clear quickly.

I'm glad everyones car works this way. I thought mine was screwed up!

I wondered why the fan ran even in the "0" position. It would be OK if water didn't bypass the heater valve and roast me. In the summer, the A/C barely offsets the amount of heat.



Guess I'll go pull the heater valve out and get a replacement.
