Mk 1 heater only works on recirculate?

Can anyone help with the above please? I have a (new to me) 1995 Uk
spec model. Very happy with it so far. The weather's still relatively
good here, still above freezing, but I've noticed that the heater
doesn't really work when the air setting is on fresh air. If I move it
to recirculate, then the heater works really well. Is this normal? I've
googled but can only find articles relating to the heater being
continuously on.

TIA

The control levers for the heater are located behind the glovebox. Remove
the glovebox and you can get at them for repairs or adjustments.

The hot water is always flowing through the heater core. The temperature
control on the dash controls the mix of unheated air from outside with the
air that is heated by the core. Maybe the temperature control cable has
become disconnected, damaged, or the door or operating lever is not working.

Good luck.............

Please describe in detail what you mean by "doesn't really work." It
works a little? Cold air comes out? No air comes out? Purple lizards
come out? With or without the fan?

For their fan dance, of course.

Is the fan dance performed *with* the fans, or *for* them?

I think he's confusing the purple lizards with their blue cousins.
