By car vaz 2106 stove stopped working... In order to fix this problem, you need to figure out why it arose.
How to look for the cause of poor stove performance
First of all, you need to check the pipes, if the pipe that goes from the tap to the radiator is hot, and the one that goes from the radiator to the engine is slightly warm, then, accordingly, it also blows slightly warm.
You can also check in the following way: turn off the stove motor, run the engine, wait for the stove radiator to warm up, and turn on the stove, in the event that the stove immediately gives out much more heat than usual, then there are problems with the circulation of the coolant. If the temperature jump did not occur, therefore, all the incoming heat is given out by the stove. If there is not enough heat, then it is necessary to insulate the engine compartment.
The same problem may be in the heater radiator.
It is possible that a blockage has formed, or airlock... If a traffic jam has formed, it can be removed very easily, for this we put the car on the curb with the right front wheel, and leave it to work for about 10 minutes, if the traffic jam is to blame, then the air will come out. In the event that, it is not easy to get rid of it. It needs to be cleaned. We buy special liquid, and pour it into the cooling system. The best option will be or flushing at removed radiator heater or even replacement with a new one.
At the time of this writing, the month of February is on the street and the problem with the stove for many owners of the VAZ 2106 is now very relevant. Some drivers prefer not to pay much attention to this, and try to hold on until spring. And many are trying with all their might to find malfunctions in the interior heating system so as not to freeze in the car.
For both some and others, the information below can be very useful if the stove on your car starts to heat up poorly or stops working altogether. I experienced the following malfunctions at one time on personal experience, during the possession of both the VAZ 2106 and other Zhiguli models.
The stove abruptly stopped heating on the way
If the heat suddenly disappears while driving and even when the heater fan is running, it blows cold air- this is a reason to stop immediately and check the level of coolant (antifreeze or antifreeze) in the system. Open the hood of the car immediately and look at the expansion tank. Usually, it is with a sharp decrease in the level of the coolant that the stove instantly reacts and stops blowing warm air.
If the fears were confirmed and the antifreeze level actually fell, or it is not at all in the expansion tank, it is necessary to check the connection of all pipes and hoses, as well as the engine cooling radiator and the stove radiator. A torn pipe on the way is quite difficult to replace with a new one, since usually no one carries such things with them in stock, but you can still try to somehow patch it up (electrical tape will help, for a few km will be enough), or cut and put on anew if the length allows!
As soon as the cause of the coolant level drop is found, eliminate it and add fluid to the required level. Of course, it is not easy to find antifreeze on the way, but as a last resort, you can use plain water, if you need to drive several kilometers to the place of repair. In the most desperate situation, you can use clean snow by filling the expansion tank with it. Many will consider this advice not entirely correct, but believe me - it is better to flush the cooling system later than to stop on the road with an engine jammed from overheating.
The stove is blowing cold and hot air
The most common reason why the heater works unevenly, that is, cold or hot air blows from the deflectors is the formation of an air lock in the cooling system. This can occur in many cases:
- after incorrect replacement antifreeze or antifreeze, when air gets into the expansion tank when filling
- from the lack of tightness of the connection of the branch pipes
- faulty plug expansion tank, or rather its valve
Check all of the above points, and after that drive out the plug by opening the expander cover and gas thoroughly at a decent speed and an engine temperature of at least 90 degrees.
The fan is running, the liquid level is normal, but the blowing is still cold
In this case, you can first check the lever, which switches to the "heat" mode. If it works properly, then when you move the lever, the stove radiator valve should open. At this moment, the coolant begins to circulate throughout the system, including the radiator of the interior heater, and accordingly hot air blows.
Check if the cable from the "warm-cold" shift lever is connected to the stove radiator faucet and, if necessary, fix the problem.
The heater does not work at all
If, when you turn on the stove on a VAZ 2106, the fan does not even start working, then you need to look for the reason in the electrical equipment. The first step is to check the integrity of the fuses in mounting block... Replace the burnt-out element if necessary. Also pay attention to the power button itself, it may be that the problem is in it. Connect the wires directly and see if this is the reason or if you need to dig further.
And the biggest problem that can happen is the failure of the motor (fan) of the stove on the VAZ 2106. Here you will have to tinker a little with the repair, since the procedure for replacing these heater parts is not pleasant.
The stove is blowing warm, not hot air
Most likely the problem may be due to insufficient engine temperature in your car. Pay attention to the temperature gauge, and if the arrow is below 90 degrees, then most likely this is the reason for the insufficiently hot air flow. If this problem is constantly observed, that is, the engine of your car does not warm up to working temperature 85-90 degrees at least, then it is worth checking the thermostat and, if necessary, replacing it.
This was a list of those reasons that were encountered in my personal experience, and it is possible that many owners of the VAZ 2106 will be able to give many more reasons and even tips for eliminating problems with the interior heater. If you want to add to the list, write your opinions in the comments to the article below. Thank you for the attention!
It should be easy to open and close.
Check damper, designed to supply cold air, which is located in the heater. A serviceable damper should close freely.
When the machine is running, the heater radiator must be completely hot, not partially. This can be checked by touching the oven.
In the case where the damper and faucet are working flawlessly, but the stove still does not warm up well enough until the engine rpm exceeds 2000, you should evaluate coolant circulation.
Reasons for poor circulation there may be several:
- pump - it must be checked, and if the problem is not in it, then proceed to troubleshooting other possible problems;
- lack of pressure in the cooling system - it can occur when antifreeze or antifreeze leaks, it is worth inspecting with a flashlight, removing damaged hoses or clamps, and then replacing them with new ones, it is also worth checking the cover on the expansion tank. This production moment very important, therefore requires special attention, especially that part of the structure in which a thin hose from the expansion hose goes directly to the radiator. The leak should not reach the fan.
The main prerequisite for perfect coolant circulation is tightness, which maintains the required pressure and fast circulation. There is a fairly simple way to test for leaks. Observe whether the walls of the expansion tank become hot when the engine is running for at least 10 minutes. A cold tank indicates insufficient pressure, which would contribute to the supply of coolant to the furnace, i.e. revolutions less than 2000 are not powerful enough.
Another reason for the lack of circulation can be excess oxides that clog the oven. Too fast heating of the machine in a traffic jam also indicates pressure problems, namely, there is air leakage through some kind of damage.
All this has been tested in practice. It turns out that for the most part, with such problems, there is no need to replace the radiator, thermostat, or, as often happens, a complete reconstruction. dashboard for disassembling the heater.
If you sit down at your computer and study the cooling system of your car, you immediately realize that the lack of pressure is to blame. Therefore, just open the hood and look for any damage to the hoses and leaks, they can be almost invisible when cracks in the hose occur. Thus, your first step in the case of similar problems all hoses must be replaced with new ones.
Quite often, from the owners of domestic vehicles, you can hear that the heater began to work poorly, and the problem was discovered precisely in the cold season, when, without a non-functioning device, movement in a frozen car becomes a real test for both the driver and passengers. If some motorists are trying to do everything possible to quickly correct this misunderstanding, then the rest of the drivers are trying to hold out at least until the onset of spring. In any case, whatever the decision of the motorist - to postpone or speed up the solution of the issue, - the material below will help to figure out how, without unnecessary labor and Money return the stove to its previous performance. The described recommendations are suitable not only for the VAZ-2106 model, but also for the rest of the typical Zhiguli models.
List of main heater malfunctions and ways to solve them
The heater stops heating directly while driving
If the motorist noticed that the heating unit stopped blowing while driving warm air, even when even an actively functioning fan delivers extremely cold air, it should be turned off almost immediately vehicle and make sure that the antifreeze level does not fall below the extreme mark. It is necessary to open the hood of the car and examine the expander tank. If it happens that the levels of antifreeze or antifreeze have decreased sharply, the stove simply will not be able to blow warm air.
If on a VAZ-2106 it is due to a decrease in the coolant level, you have to check the tightness of the system, make sure that all pipes and hoses are in place, and the engine cooling radiator and heater radiator are working normally. Most often, a malfunction of this kind can provoke a sharply cut off pipe, and due to the fact that the motorist is currently on the road and has nowhere to buy a new part, every effort should be made to somehow attach the departed element, for example, using electrical tape ... If the length of the broken pipe allows it to be shortened a little, you can cut it off a little and put it back on.
Immediately, as the car owner understands why the cold air is blowing, the cause of the decrease in the level of antifreeze should be eliminated and the liquid added to the system to the required level. Of course, there are situations when the car owner does not have coolant at his disposal, then simple water can come to the rescue. As a last resort, you can use clean snow. In fact, it is more advisable to subsequently flush the entire system than to stand halfway with the motor jammed from high overheating.
The heating unit supplies either "cold" or "heat"
If the owner domestic auto noticed that on his VAZ-2106, in particular, exceptionally cold or hot air periodically enters the cabin from the deflectors, most likely there is a suspicion that an airlock has formed in the cooling system. Such a malfunction may appear due to several reasons, for example:
- an illiterate replacement of antifreeze contributed to the ingress of air into the expansion tank;
- leaky connection of branch pipes;
- the problem is in the expander reservoir valve.
If the reason is caused by one of the described actions, the motorist should do everything possible to get rid of the plug that has appeared, unscrew the expander cap, and then press the gas pedal with force, while making sure that there are decent rpm and temperature power unit which must be above 90 ° C.
With a functioning fan and a sufficient volume of coolant, the stove continues to supply "cold"
If on a VAZ-2106, the motorist must pay attention to the lever by means of which the "heat" mode is activated. In the event that the element operates properly when the lever moves, the heater radiator tap must be moved to the "open" position. Thanks to such a manipulation, the work of antifreeze is activated, which begins to move, connecting the radiator of the cabin stove to the process, as a result of which the driver will be able to feel the flow of hot air.
The problem may arise due to the fact that there is no connection between the cable and the lever that regulates the switching of "heat" and "cold", going to the radiator valve of the heating unit. Determining such a problem does not take a lot of time.
Non-functioning heating device
The problem with heating the passenger compartment may arise not only due to the fact that the stove does not heat well. Quite often, the owners of domestic VAZ-2106 are faced with the fact that when the heater is turned on, the fan remains inactive. In this case, the cause of the malfunction can only be found in the electrical equipment. First you need to make sure that all fuses are intact. As soon as it is possible to find a burnt part, it should be immediately replaced with a new one. The power button can also provoke a problem, you can check it by connecting the wires directly.
Probably the most serious problem can be called out of order. It can take more than one hour to fix such a problem, in addition, certain skills are required.
Stove VAZ-2106 blows with slightly warm air
If the VAZ-2106, the problem may be caused by the low temperature of the power unit of the car itself. The motorist should check the temperature gauge, in the event that the arrow has dropped and is below 90 ° C, most likely this is the problem, since there is not enough power to supply hot air. If such a malfunction occurs frequently, the thermostat should be checked and replaced.
Conclusion
The above material describes the most common reasons heater malfunctions and solutions. As practice shows, a large number of all problems can be eliminated directly by the motorist himself without the help of qualified craftsmen.
