How does a heater work on an Opel Mokka

In the middle of winter it is essential on the way when you go to work. And when it stops spinning we miss it easily. In this case before finding out where the malfunction comes from, you need to understand how it works on this Opel Mokka, at least in a simplified way. The heating uses the heat from the engine block to raise the temperature of the personalised tour, and very often the cooling device. Consequently, this duplicates. Similarly, the emission device, so that the heat arrives in the interior also presents a double use. There is a ventilateur which emits heat when the car is driving at low speed or not, and it is the speed of the vehicle which will send heat when you are driving faster. It's pretty clever isn't it?

Recurring heating problems on an Opel Mokka

Broken thermostat

The idea is affordable, in the case where the thermostat which regulates the heat does not measure well the degree of heat of the cooling circuit, the whole of the latter is affected. Even if the thermostat of this Opel Mokka still does not work properly, the heating will still work. Because the heat coming from the engine block will gradually increase, so will the cooling circuit, whether it is regulated or not. The only annoyance is that you will find it difficult to change the temperature.

Air shutters blocked on the Opel Mokka

It is a dysfunction 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

As you can imagine, the fan is effective only at reduced speed and stopped. If the heating system does not emit air at reduced speed and you nevertheless discern its noise, it means that the fan is probably running. If all goes well, thanks to a high speed the heating of this Opel Mokka should turn. If it happens that the fan does not work at all it will have to be replaced.

Blocked hoses

The clues turn out to be rather simple. In the event that your heating turns but does not heat or little, the malfunction must probably come from the hoses. These clog up the more time passes and no longer allow hot water to access your heating of this Opel Mokka. In this case, clean the hoses or install new ones.

Air pocket in the Opel Mokka circuit

The symptom is found to be similar to that of the hoses. If small pockets of air are introduced into the circuit, high temperature water will also have difficulty reaching the radiator of the heating of your Opel Mokka. In this case, simply purge the water circuit.

Conclusion

You now know where this dysfunction could come from. However it may be that the reason came from another place, such as the air duct of this obstructed Opel Mokka, or a defective valve, however it is still more rare. You can write a comment in case this tutorial was useful to you. Good walk !
