How a heater works on a smart smart
In the middle of winter, heating is a definite asset on the road when you go to work. And when it doesn't activate, we quickly miss it. So before knowing where the problem comes from, you have to understand how it works on this smart smart, at least its principle. The heating use the temperature of the engine block to raise the temperature of the personalised tour, then very often from the cooling system. In this way this system has several functions. Similarly, the emission system, so that heat arrives in the interior, has a dual system. It's the ventilateur which sends the heat as soon as the car is driving slowly or not, then it is the speed of your automobile which will send the heat when you drive faster. It's pretty clever isn't it?
Recurring problems with heating on a smart smart
Broken thermostat
The concept is elementary, if the thermostat that regulates the temperature does not really capture the degree of heat of the water circuit, the whole of the latter is affected. Even if the thermostat of this smart smart does not activate properly, the heating will operate normally. Quite simply because the natural temperature of the engine block will increase progressively, and the cooling circuit at the same time, even without a thermostat. Our only annoyance is that you will have trouble controlling the heat emitted.
Air shutters blocked on the smart smart
It's a concern 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 smart smart
As you might expect, the fan only works at low speed or the engine is off. If this heating system no longer emits air at low speed but you still hear its noise, this means that the fan turns out to be probably running. Normally, with a higher speed the heating of this smart smart should work. If ever the fan really does not activate it should be changed.
Blocked hoses
The signs are pretty obvious. If your heating turns and does not generate very little or no hot air, the problem certainly comes from the hoses. These become blocked the more time passes and no longer allow hot water to reach the heating of this smart smart. Therefore, unclog the hoses or replace them with new ones.
Air pocket in the smart smart circuit
The syndrome is sometimes the same as that of the hose lines. If small pockets of air are stored in the heart of the circuit, hot water will similarly have problems accessing the heating radiator of your smart smart. From then on, it is enough to purge the circuit.
Conclusion
You now know where this concern will come from. However, it is possible that the problem came from another place, such as the air duct of this obstructed smart smart, or a broken tap, but it is still less frequent. Leave us a comment in case this post served you. Good road !
