In winter, the problem of heating the car interior becomes more urgent than ever, and if the radiator of the heating system of your car is clogged with dirt, it takes more and more time to heat it. To ensure good access of warm air, it is necessary to rinse the stove in the car, and it is most convenient to do this without disassembling the entire control panel.
It is necessary
- - two hoses;
- - clamps and tape FUM;
- - compressor;
- - a vacuum cleaner;
- - pump;
- - container for draining the liquid;
- - acid, antiscale, special means for cleaning the radiator, etc.
Instructions
Step 1
Look into the engine compartment of your car and find two hoses coming out of the stove. Release these hoses, different machines require different steps. One way or another, carefully remove all interfering parts and remember the sequence of actions, fold the fasteners separately.
Step 2
After freeing the ends of the hoses, extend them using a watering hole, from an old washing machine or any other hoses. Secure the joint securely with clamps and FUM tape to ensure tightness, otherwise you can ruin the interior.
Step 3
Lower the lower hose down, it will drain, and raise the upper one above the stove level (if possible, above the panel in the cabin). Blow out the remaining water with a compressor or vacuum cleaner (if there is such a function).
Step 4
Pour cleaning liquid into the stove. It can be plain water, boiling water, hydrochloric acid, acetic acid or any other acid, decalcifier, undiluted Silit or other cleaning agents. Of course, if possible, buy special products for cleaning the radiator oven. Give the opportunity to react and soak the dirt, do not hold strongly corrosive substances for more than 10-15 minutes. Substances that are not very corrosive (such as plumbing cleaners) can be left overnight.
Step 5
Drain the fluid carefully using the second hose. If you've added acid, be prepared for violent reaction and foaming. Repeat the procedure several times until a clear liquid begins to flow from the radiator.
Step 6
Rinse the radiator well with water. To provide the required pressure, connect a hose to the water supply system of the house (a tap in the bathroom), use a pump or compressor. You can flush the radiator from both sides, pouring water in turn, then on one side, then on the other.
Step 7
A submersible pump can be used to flush the radiator. Connect it to one of the hoses and put it in a bucket of water (you can add detergent or acid to it). Then turn on the pump and run the water through the radiator. Connect the pump to a different hose and repeat the procedure.
