Why on "Kalina" does not warm the stove: the reasons, how to fix the problem
Often, car owners are thinking aboutserviceability of the stove only at the beginning of winter. And sometimes it can fail. Not exception is the "Kalina". On it, as well as on many other cars of Volga manufacture, the stove breaks down. What are the reasons for this, and how to eliminate this problem? About all this - later in our article.
Coolant
As you know, in the salon heater has its ownradiator. It is filled with coolant. This design is part of the basic cooling system. If the "Lada Kalina" is badly heated by the stove, the reasons may be a low level of antifreeze. Open the hood and look at its level in the surge tank. It must be between the minimum and maximum mark.
Thermostat
This is another reason why the "Kalina"the stove does not heat well. The problem is that the stream of antifreeze on the salon heater is sent only after warming up the coolant on a small circle. The thermostat is a kind of valve that controls the flow of fluid in the system. As soon as the temperature of the antifreeze in a small circle exceeds 72 degrees (or 82, depending on the brand), it opens and circulates along a large circle.
- With dismantling. In this case, the element is extracted from the car (the tosol is firstly drained into a clean container). Further it is placed in a small pan filled with water, and heated on a plate. At this time, follow the movement of the valve. If the water began to bubble, and the thermostat has not yet opened, then it has become worthless. An element can simply jam. It happens not often, but it is because of this detail that the machine suffers overheating and problems with the salon heater.
- On the spot. In this situation, the motor should warm up to operating temperatures. Next, you need to find the top and bottom of the radiator pipe. Gloves should be touched one by one to each of them. If the nozzle is cold on a warm engine, then the antifreeze circulates only through a small circle. The thermostat can not be repaired or changed entirely. Fortunately, its cost is small - about 200 rubles.
Radiator
In any car there is this element. In addition to the main one, a radiator is installed. He is slightly smaller, but it is on his condition that the efficiency of the stove depends. So, this element can simply be hammered.
The element can get dirty from outside. So, often honeycombs suffer from down and dry foliage. The way out of the situation is external cleaning of the element. It is carried out on the removed radiator.
Sensor
If the heater does not heat on the "Kalina", the reasons can beto be in it. The fact that the "Kalinas" in the ceiling (near the lighting of the plafond) installed a sensor that senses the temperature of the cabin. It can affect the operation of the heater. The electronics compare the obtained data on the heating of air with those that the driver exhibited, and thus adjusts the position of the dampers.
Cabin Air Filter
In addition to air, in Kalina there is also a salonfilter. He is responsible for cleaning the air entering the cabin. The element should change every 10 thousand kilometers (under extreme conditions - every 5 km). If the "Kalina" does not heat the stove, the reason may be in it. In this case, the intensity of the flow itself will drop substantially. From the nozzles, the air will be weakly blown. The way out is to install a new salon filter. It costs about 300 rubles. To replace, you need to open the hood and remove a part of the "jabot" under the windshield wipers. Next, open the lid and remove the contaminated element.
In its place, install a new one and close allplastic cover. It is worth noting that in the sale there are both conventional, paper, and carbon filters. The latter in addition to dust, and detain bad smells. As the reviews say, this filter is much more efficient than the standard one. And it does not get dirty before the usual one. Outwardly it can be distinguished by its color. It is slightly darker (graphite tint predominates).
Motor stove
This is another reason why on "Lada Kalina"does not heat the stove. But if in the previous cases, when the heater was switched on, a distinct sound of the fan was heard, then it will be absent here. First of all, check the safety of the fuse in the unit. On the "Kalina" for the work of the stove engine meets the element F5. Sometimes the mechanism can work, but with strange sounds or intermittent.
So, we have found out the malfunction of the stove on "Kalina" and how to fix this problem.
