How a heater works on a Kia Stonic
In the middle of winter it is a definite asset on the road to go to work. And when the latter does not activate well we easily regret it. So in order to know where the problem comes from, it is necessary to understand how it works on the famous Kia Stonic, at least in a simplified way. The heating uses the heat from the engine to raise the temperature of the personalised tour, then very often from the cooling system. In fact it is a two in one. Also, the emission system, so that the heat reaches us also has a double use. It's the ventilateur which emits heat as soon as the vehicle is traveling at low speed or not at all, then it is the speed of the car which will send the heat once you are traveling faster. Pretty well thought out right?
Recurring heating problems on a Kia Stonic
Broken thermostat
The concept is affordable, assuming that the thermostat that regulates the heat does not really capture the degree of heat of the water in the circuit, the entire latter is affected. Even if the thermostat of the famous Kia Stonic still does not work properly, the heating will operate normally. Because the heat produced by the engine will gradually increase, so the water circuit at the same time, whether it is regulated or not. Our only concern is that you will not be able to really adjust the temperature.
Air shutters blocked on the Kia Stonic
This is a problem that occurs fairly 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 Stonic
You have now entered, the fan runs only at low speed and the engine stops. If the heating system never sends too much air at low speed and yet you still hear noise, then the fan will most likely be ruined. If all goes well, thanks to more speed the heating of the famous Kia Stonic will be able to work. If the fan does not work, it will have to be changed.
Blocked hoses
The signs will be relatively obvious. As soon as your heating turns and creates little or no heat, the problem is certainly caused by the hoses. They get dirty over time and no longer allow hot water to heat the famous Kia Stonic. In this specific case, remove dirt from the hoses or install new ones.
Air pocket in the Kia Stonic circuit
The symptom will be the same as that of the hoses. If air pockets are inserted in the circuit, hot water also has problems reaching the radiator of the heating of your Kia Stonic. In this specific case, it will suffice to purge the circuit.
Conclusion
You now know what will happen to your problem. That said it happens that the problem comes from another place, such as the air duct of the famous Kia Stonic blocked, even a defective valve, however it is unfortunately rather rare. Leave us a comment in case this post helped you. Enjoy the road!
