Installing a starting engine heater on a car is relevant in the northern regions of Russia, where the average ambient temperature rarely rises above minus 20 degrees Celsius. In the southern regions and in the middle zone of our country, the need for motorists for this additional equipment may arise once every 5 or 10 years.
Necessary
- - starting heater - 1 set,
- - locksmith tools.
Instructions
Step 1
So, if the operation of the car is carried out in low temperatures on the roads of the northern Russian territories, then equipping the car with a starting heater will bring a lot of benefit to the owner and relieve him of worries about starting the engine in the morning.
Step 2
According to specialists from specialized car services that provide services for installing an additional engine preheater, this procedure is difficult and it is very problematic to carry it out at home without proper training. But a cursory acquaintance with the manufacturer's instructions for mounting the device in question on the engine is enough to be convinced of the cunning of such sayings.
Step 3
Before installing the starting heater, antifreeze is drained from the engine cooling system. The device is then mounted in the engine compartment in such a way that the outlet of its exhaust gases is directed to the oil pan. Tie-in into the water jacket is carried out using adapters and branch pipes provided in the delivery set.
Step 4
At the next stage, the fuel line and the power supply harness are connected to the device. The heater control panel is placed in the car in any convenient place, after which they are connected to each other with a piece of wiring from the kit, with equipped ends.
Step 5
Having mounted the heater in the engine compartment, the engine cooling system is filled with antifreeze, and air is removed from it if the liquid circulation is disturbed. And only then the first test run of the pre-heater is carried out.
