Welcome here. Welcome back to the P38. There are some guys here with diesel experience (not me) who will no doubt chime in in due time.

I also used the XR8 kit, but that’s a few years ago now. No issues with it though, still running well.

I wonder if it would need to be plastic? Maybe the shop that makes the cables can make something work?

Way to go Richard!

I’m not sure why some of my text went to italics. It wasn’t meant to emphasize anything.

Most of our washer fluid in Canada is rated to -35C or colder. It doesn’t melt the snow that accumulates on/under the wiper blades. I would have expected that at -8 it would have been cold enough for that not to happen but it seems that it still did.

I was thinking it may get the lower area of the windshield warm enough to melt the ice from the wipe blade, but maybe not.

I just ran across this (from a VW forum).

Obviously this can be an issue on any vehicle. Probably not worth the price for a lot of us.

Yikes, that’s way too drastic for me. I like a warm car!

You’ll only find out if it’s fairly warm as it was during your last storm. If it’s colder the snow will just sweep away easily.

This doesn’t happen when it’s actually cold, as the snow brushes right off instead of melting and refreezing on your windscreen.

I think that occasionally the conditions are just right for the wet snow to ball up on the wipers. This doesn’t happen often, but when it does I put the defrost (demister?) on full blast, also HVAC in Economy mode so the AC stays off.

Hi. Welcome here. What vehicle do you have?

?Try swapping relays?

Jay Leno is the one who bought the Harley that I mentioned above.

I also give the seam a bit of a wrap with gorilla tape. This may be more of an issue in my Canadian winters, but the way that the P38 air flow works is that the fan blows outside air toward the heater core. There is a fair distance from the fan to the matrix, and several duct joints. Any leaks between the fan and the matrix is cold air blowing at my feet. In most other vehicles I’ve had, the fan is very close to the matrix and there isn’t as much chance for leaks. Before I did this, my P38 heater was not up to our cold weather.

That information could make it worth a lot more. Maybe a little different, but I know of a Harley that had been owned by Elvis that sold for US$750,000.

Do you know who the original owner was? The more famous, I suspect the more value.

That’s a really useful review! 14 years of use plus the companies standing up their guarantee.

It goes to show what a decent guy Storey is. He “sells” the EAS for free, and doesn’t charge a huge amount for the full V4. A LR/RR enthusiast who is trying to help out other enthusiasts.
