How a heater works on a Kiaage

Winter heating is our best ally on the way when we go to work. And when it is no longer activated, it is easily noticed. In this situation in order to know where the problem comes from, it is necessary to understand how it works on your Kiaage, at least the basics. The heating uses engine heat to raise the temperature of the personalised tour, then generally the cooling mechanism. In this way this system has several functions. Similarly, the fan mechanism, so that the hot air reaches the cabin has a dual system. There is a ventilateur which sends hot air as soon as the car is traveling at low speed or not at all, then it is the speed of the car which allows hot air to be sent when you are driving at high speed. Well designed, right?

Recurring heating problems on a Kiaage

Broken thermostat

The concept is elementary, when the thermostat that regulates the temperature does not really measure the temperature of the water in the circuit, the entire circuit is impacted. Even if your Kiaage's thermostat does not turn properly, the heating will still work. Because the heat produced by the engine will increase progressively, so will the water circuit, whether it is regulated or not. Our only annoyance is that you can't really control the temperature.

Air shutters blocked on the Kiaage

This is a problem that occurs quite frequently. 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 Kiaage

As you can imagine, the fan is effective only at reduced speed and the engine off. If the heating system does not emit too much heat at low speed and you still hear noise, then your fan may be running out. If all goes well, thanks to more speed the heating of your Kiaage should turn. If it happens that the fan does not rotate at all it will have to be changed.

Blocked hoses

His clues will be relatively simple. When your heating works and does not generate very little hot air, the problem must undoubtedly come from the hoses. These clog up the more time passes and no longer allow hot water to reach the heating of your Kiaage. In this case, wash the hoses or put new ones.

Air pocket in the Kiaage circuit

The syndrome happens to be the same as those of the hoses. If pockets of air are stored inside the circuit, the hot water will have the same way of problems to access the radiator of the heating of this famous Kiaage. In this case, it is necessary to purge the circuit.

Conclusion

You now know where this problem might arise. By cons it happens that the concern comes from the other hand, such as the air duct of your Kiaage obstructed, or a defective valve, however it is still less common. Leave us a comment in case this text helped you. Good walk !
