When driving in -2C deg., it is almost impossible to get the heater going. I have changed the termostate -did'n help, try'ed block of half the cooler, a little better, but the gauge still shows almost nothing. Has anyone a good idear on how to solved this problem. Jørgen

A small question Delta, can you hear a sucking sound as you change the heater position (from feet to demist for example)? The M100 Elan uses a vacumn system to change poistion (and I believe the switch between cool and hot). It could be simply the vacumn bit isn't working so you are blowing cold air and not heated air.

Just a thought.

Yes, i have tryed that, and it's not the problem. Someone suggested that the termostate was rated to low. I use 82 deg.C. He suggested 190 deg. F. How much is that in Celsius.?.

It was just a thought, 190 F is 87.8 Celsius.
