How a heater works on a Kia Stinger

In winter it is a definite asset on the journey when going to work. And when the latter does not rotate we easily regret it. In this case in order to know where the malfunction comes from, it is necessary to know how it works on your Kia Stinger, at least the basics. The heating exploits the temperature of the engine block to increase the heat of the personalised tour, then generally the cooling system. In this way it duplicates. Also, the emission system, so that the hot air reaches the cabin has a double system. There is a ventilateur which emits hot air when the car is driving at low speed or not at all, then it is the speed of the car which will send hot air when you are driving faster. Well designed, right?

Recurring heating problems on a Kia Stinger

Broken thermostat

The concept is elementary, in the case where the thermostat which regulates the heat does not really understand the temperature of the cooling circuit, the latter is affected. Even if your Kia Stinger's thermostat no longer works properly, the heating will still work. Because the natural temperature of the engine block will increase over time, as will the water circuit, whether the thermostat works or not. The only annoyance is that you will have trouble setting the temperature.

Air shutters blocked on the Kia Stinger

It is a dysfunction that happens quite regularly. 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 Kia Stinger

As you can imagine, the fan only works at reduced speed or in neutral. If it happens that your heating does not emit air at reduced speed and that nevertheless you discern nevertheless of the noise, it is that your fan turns out to be probably faulty. Ordinarily, with a high speed the heating of your Kia Stinger will be able to work. In case the fan really does not rotate it is better to change it.

Blocked hoses

The symptoms will be fairly simple. When your heating turns and does not create very little heat, the malfunction must certainly come from the hoses. These get dirty over time and no longer allow hot water to reach the heating of your Kia Stinger. Therefore, remove the hoses or replace them with new ones.

Air pocket in the Kia Stinger circuit

The symptom will be the same as that of the hoses. If it happens that air streams are embedded in the heart of the circuit, the high temperature water will similarly have problems accessing the heating radiator of this famous Kia Stinger. From then on, you just need to purge the water circuit.

Conclusion

You now know where the malfunction could occur. However it is possible that the reason is from another source, such as the air duct of your clogged Kia Stinger, or a broken tap, but this remains unfortunately more rare. Leave us a comment in case this post was useful to you. Enjoy the road!
