In a cold winter, a good work of a car stove is very important for a motorist. It's freezing outside, but it's warm and comfortable in the car. However, it happens that the car heating system does not work well. Why is this happening and what can be done to fix the problem?
The most common cause of poor performance in a car stove is airing in the cooling system or malfunctioning parts such as a radiator or thermostat. In second place is the incorrect installation or significant contamination of the filter in the cabin. At the same time, dust and dirt particles can enter the motor, causing interruptions in it. If the car owner forgot to replace the antifreeze in time or used a low-quality fluid, this can lead to damage to the thermostat. The reason will be the clogging of the radiator from the inside. A clogged radiator is a direct path to contamination of the air conditioner, and, as a result, to poor performance of the stove. Thus, in order for the stove in the car to work well, you need to carefully monitor the condition of the car and regularly do a preventive check of all its systems. This should be done without waiting for the onset of cold weather. To check the heating system, open the interior heater tap to warm up the engine. It is very important to see how tight the faucet and radiator are, whether the fan is spinning well. It does not hurt to replace the cabin filters, which are usually very dirty after a hot summer. If the car has a climate control system, then its heating system will be more complex: a second radiator and air conditioning are installed in the car. The car heating system is in good working order if at an air temperature of -250C in the car interior after 15 minutes of warming up, a temperature of + 160C is reached. So, caring for a car stove requires constant monitoring of its operation, preventive maintenance and, if necessary, repairs. This is especially true for cars that have high mileage or a solid release date. It is better to eliminate minor flaws than to change the entire heating system of the car later.
