Why it matters
Early 40hp heater boxes are a different part from the 1300–1600 boxes most suppliers stock, and good ones are getting hard to find. These are the correct part for the 40hp — not a 1600 box adapted to fit — from JP Group, one of Europe's largest classic VW parts makers, so a period-correct early Beetle or Ghia can have working heat and defrost again with no exhaust fumes in the cabin.
Installation notes
- Use new exhaust port and muffler gaskets; soak the old nuts in penetrating oil well ahead of time.
- Check the heater flaps and cables move freely before refitting the tin, and replace torn heater hoses while you're in there.
