The OEM heater core started leaking on my Elky long long ago so I had to replace it with an aftermarket POS core. It was a pitiful heater almost as a good as my 60 VW bug. I finally dug out my OEM heater core that I was smart enough to keep and took it to a radiator shop. He found a small bad solder joint and fixed it.
When I put it back in I was sure to block off all the bypass air and seal it up real nice. This morning it was 19 degrees. Within one mile it is blowing a hint of warm and withing two miles it is blowing warm air and by three miles it is blowing at HOT at max. Of course I did park in the garage last night.
The heater works real well now. With the old heater I could drive all the way to work and still be getting luke warm air.
After owning and driving a car as a daily driver for over 24 years I have pretty much touched every part on the Elky, sometime many times.
