No radiator and no heat. I had the displeasure of riding from the Catskills in upstate NY down to the city in my ex-partner's Bug in the middle of the night during a winter cold wave...absolutely freezing...took me two days to regain the use of my legs.

If my memory serves me correctly, the "fan" was the outside air and only activated during forward movement of the car, and the outside air at the time was frigid. . Don't recall what year the BUG was....this was early 70s.

Bugs used air ducted from the engine for heat. Until it got "stupid cold" they usually worked well. The problem is that one of the first thing VW hotrodders (and lazy mechanics) did was remove or alter the engine cooling shrouds and/or the heater ducts. Once the shrouds were tweaked or removed heat in the cabin was gone!
