Sorry, I've got to get into this. As an ex-VW Service Manager
and boy-racer, 1961-66, I've sucked my share of fumes. 
ANY exhaust leak would get sucked up by the cooling fan 
on the air-cooled engine, and that's what supplied the flow
for the heater. Hot? Yes, but only where your foot, or camera,
was next to the outlet. Otherwise, unless you kept a window 
cracked, you froze. (Try to tell customers in a Chicago Winter
that all they needed to do was open a window!...some fun)
Actually, at highway speed it would warm up....

Still shivering after all those years...
