How a heater works on an Opel Mokka X
In the middle of winter it is our best ally on the road when we go to work. And when the latter does not work well we quickly regret it. So to find out where the problem comes from, you need to understand how it works on your Opel Mokka X, at least the basics. The heating uses heat from the engine block to raise the temperature of the personalised tour, then generally the cooling device. In fact it is a two in one. In a similar way, the emission device, so that the heat arrives at us holds a double system. There is a ventilateur which emits heat when the car is driving slowly or not at all, then it is the speed of the car which allows heat to be sent when you drive faster. It's pretty clever isn't it?
Recurring heating problems on an Opel Mokka X
Broken thermostat
The concept is elementary, in the case where the thermostat which regulates the temperature does not measure the temperature of the cooling circuit well, the whole of the latter is affected. Even if the thermostat of your Opel Mokka X does not work properly, the heating will still work. Because the natural heat of the engine block will increase progressively, so does the cooling circuit, whether it is regulated or not. The only annoyance is that you can't really change the air temperature.
Air shutters blocked on the Opel Mokka X
It's a concern that happens quite often. These shutters, which allow you to direct the air or adjust the intensity, sometimes get blocked over time. To remedy this it is simple, remove the cover and look inside how it was done. Activate the mechanisms to see where it is blocking. Put a little WD 40 to lubricate and voila.
Faulty fan on the Opel Mokka X
As you will have understood, the fan is useful only at low speed and when stopped. If this heater does not send heat at low speed but you still hear noise, it means that the fan is likely to be defective. As a general rule, thanks to the higher speed, the heating of your Opel Mokka X will be able to function. In case the fan really does not work it will have to be replaced.
Blocked hoses
The signs are relatively obvious. If your heating turns and does not heat or little, the problem probably comes from the hoses. These clog up over time and do not allow hot water to access your heating of your Opel Mokka X. Therefore, clog the hoses or replace them with new ones.
Air pocket in the Opel Mokka X circuit
The syndrome happens to be the same as those of the hoses. If small air pockets are introduced inside the circuit, high temperature water also has difficulty accessing the heating radiator of this famous Opel Mokka X. Therefore, it is only necessary to purge the water circuit.
Conclusion
You now know where your concern may arise. However, it can happen that the reason comes on the other hand, for example the air duct of your blocked Opel Mokka X, or a faulty tap, however it is still less frequent. Leave us a comment if you find this text useful. See you soon !
