How a heater works on a Smart Forvision
In the middle of winter it is a definite asset on the journey to go to work. And when the latter does not work well we miss him quickly. So in order to understand what caused the problem, you have to understand how it works on your Smart Forvision, at least its principle. The heating uses the temperature of the engine block to increase the heat of the personalised tour, then in most cases of the cooling mechanism. So it's a two in one. In addition, the fan mechanism, for the heat to reach us has a double system. There is a ventilateur which sends the heat when the vehicle is running at low speed or is stopped, then it is the speed of your car which will send the heat when you drive faster. Well designed, right?
Recurring heating problems on a Smart Forvision
Broken thermostat
The concept is easy, in the case where the thermostat which regulates the heat does not really enter the temperature of the water in the circuit, the whole circuit is impacted. Even if your Smart Forvision's thermostat does not activate properly, the heating will still work. Because the temperature coming from the engine block will gradually increase, and the water circuit too, even without a thermostat. The only annoyance is that you can hardly control the air temperature.
Air shutters blocked on Smart Forvision
It is a concern 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 Smart Forvision
As you can imagine, the fan is effective only at low speed or stopped. If your heating system never generates more air at low speed and you still perceive its noise all the same, this fan is probably running out. In general, with a higher speed, the heating of your Smart Forvision should work. Assuming that the fan does not activate at all, it will have to be changed.
Blocked hoses
The symptoms will be fairly obvious. As soon as your heating blows and does not generate hot air or very slightly, the problem certainly comes from the hoses. They become blocked over time and no longer allow hot water to heat your Smart Forvision. In this situation, unclog the hoses or install new ones.
Air pocket in the Smart Forvision circuit
The syndrome is found to be similar to that of the durits. If ever air threads are inserted in the heart of the circuit, the high temperature water will have the same problems to reach the radiator of the heating of your Smart Forvision. In this situation, all you have to do is purge the circuit.
Conclusion
You now understand what can cause this concern. However, the reason may come from another place, such as the air duct of your Smart Forvision plugged, or a broken valve, but it is still less frequent. Do not hesitate to leave a comment if this tutorial served you well. Good walk !
