I've seen a lot of how the stove tap is adjusted. So I finally did it myself. The procedure is very simple, and the effect is truly amazing. Yesterday I drove about 120 km, opened the windows several times. The only negative is that my panel got very hot. I think that in frosty weather the windows will thaw faster now.
On the driver's side, remove the panel cover. A little higher under the steering wheel, not immediately noticeable, the cable is attached to the heater tap. It needs to be shortened. I shortened it literally by 0.5 cm, making one more turn.
By pulling cable No. 20 (damper adjustment), I ensured that hot air entered all the side air ducts. After some time, having adjusted the length of cable No. 21 (adjusting the heater tap), I received hot air already at an engine temperature of up to 60 degrees.
Usually, newbies who have driven (or just started driving) a VAZ 2114 for the first winter season turn to car service centers with this question. The fact is that the car has such an unpleasant feature (here we say hello to the engineers of the Volga Automobile Plant), such as a problem with the operation of the stove. Moreover, for some it appeared in the very first winter after purchasing a new car at a car dealership.
The principle of operation of the heater cables on the VAZ 2114
The operation of a car's heating system is to transfer and redirect the heat that is released as a result of engine operation. Heat is removed by the cooling system and supplied, among other things, to the heater radiator. Then, when the switch is turned on (turned on), the heating system starts a motor that blows out hot air and passes it through the car panel deflectors. Air redirection to a particular area is carried out directly by the driver by switching the airflow positions.

Most cases of stove malfunctions are associated with just one reason and this is the VAZ 2114 stove cable. The fact is that over time the tension of the cable weakens. This occurs as a result of its constant tension, weakening when moving the lever for adjusting the heating mode (cold and hot). There are also cases when the cable completely flies off the stove tap. As a result, the stove valve does not open completely, thereby you do not receive significant portions of hot air from the heating system.
What to do? To change or not to change? Here are the most common questions from car enthusiasts. Let's answer this: before replacing anything, you should find the cause of the malfunction and try to eliminate it.
The second “jamb”: dampers
Another problem with the VAZ 2114 stove is the operation of the dampers. In the car, their position is regulated by three more cables. They also tend to become loose and malfunction over time. An indicator of a violation of their adjustment is the fact that hot air comes only from the central air duct, while cold air goes to the passenger seats and to the front window heater.
Adjustment of these cables is carried out similarly to the cable of the stove faucet. When the slider is moved to the extreme right, the dampers should be fully open.
If you plan to adjust the heater while replacing the radiator, you should also pay attention to the condition of the dampers themselves. If they are not airtight, they should be glued with foam rubber or any other insulation. Any leaks lead to the dilution of the hot air flow with cold air and, as a result, to a deterioration in the operation of the stove.
Modification of the left deflector
The left deflector (driver's) is located farthest from the hot air entry point. As a result, all losses affect him more than anything else. It also happens that there is warm air everywhere except it. Naturally, the driver will not like this much, especially if he usually drives alone in the car.
To improve the heating system and provide the driver's air duct with a sufficient flow of warm air, an additional fan is installed in it.
A computer processor cooling fan is ideal for this purpose (it can be bought at any computer store, it costs about 500 rubles). They come in different sizes and power, choose the right one based on the supply on the market. Or if there is an old computer somewhere in the garage, take it from there - it will do.
- Pull out the deflector.
- Prepare a hole for installing the cooler.
- Prepare the wiring. If an additional pump is installed in the system, it is worth installing the power supply through the same switch. You can make a separate switch or, as a last resort, connect it from the ignition. It will turn on automatically when the engine starts.
- It is important to completely seal the remaining holes, otherwise the expected result will not be obtained.
By performing all these manipulations, you can achieve restoration or even significant improvement in the operation of the stove. If your work involves constantly moving around the city by car, these measures are simply mandatory.
Diagnostics of the operation of the VAZ 2114 stove cables
In order to inspect the valve cable of the VAZ 2114 stove, you need to dismantle the side panel trim on the driver's side (to the right of the gas pedal). Further details:
- Start and warm up the car engine thoroughly.
- Unscrew the three side trim mounting bolts.
- Turn your gaze towards the heater valve.
- Check to see if the cable has come loose from the faucet.
- Move the heater lever on the instrument panel to maximum heating mode.
- Pull the cable towards you and hold it in this position
- Check if hot air is coming from the deflectors.
Now that the source of the problem has been identified. It is required to fix, give constant tension and thereby ensure good operation and correct throughput.
One of the options for increasing the tension is a method in which a part (0.5-1 centimeter) of the cable is bent at the point of direct connection to the heater lever. To do this you will need:
- Remove the second trim, only from the passenger seat side.
- Take pliers and pull the cable towards you (at this moment, the temperature switch should be at maximum heating mode).
- Bend the additional amount of cable formed (its amount is selected experimentally, and in each specific case it differs and, as a rule, amounts to 0.5 centimeters).
- We hook it up to the temperature switch of the stove.
Adjustment
Drivers solve this problem at the same time as replacing the radiator. to combine work. Or you can do without replacing the radiator if everything is fine with it. But it is imperative to check the screening devices for leaks. If the seal is broken, glue them with foam rubber or other insulation. Leaks will lead to cold air mixing with hot air, which will prevent the stove from working properly.
To adjust the device, you need to work on the faucet and the valve itself. It's better to start with the faucet.
- Remove the panel under which the device you need is located. It is not necessary to remove the dashboard, but for clarity it is possible. Plus, this will allow you to modify the cut-off device itself, glue it with foam rubber or other insulation. Basically you need a cable that responds to the cutoff. You will find it under the side dashboard cover near the gas pedal. On the body of the faucet itself there is a bracket that holds the cable sheath on itself. It needs to be removed.
- Remove the cable from the lever, after which you need to open the tap in the maximum open position.
- Now the cable can be disconnected from the lever block. You don't need the old cable, so throw it away. Close the faucet as needed.
- Adjust the length of the sheath and the cable itself. In this case, on the lever block, with the lever in the right position, the tap should be completely open.
- With the help of a latch, the cable is securely fixed in its place.
Replacing heater cables on a VAZ 2114
Sometimes situations occur when, for one reason or another, the product becomes bent or even breaks off. Such cases require removing the device and replacing it with a new one. Recommendations for analysis are as follows:
- The metal clips that hold the cable in place must be disconnected.
- One end of the cable is connected to the tap, the other side to the lever for adjusting the air temperature in the cabin. Any sequence of disconnection can be followed. But it will be most convenient to first disconnect the end from the stove tap, unfasten all the clips and, last of all, disconnect it from the lever.
- Now the product should be carefully removed from the case.
- When reinstalling the new part, start by attaching it to the tap.
There are a lot of different models on the auto goods market that differ in length, thickness, various types, and shapes of both ends. In order not to make a mistake when purchasing a new product, we advise you to take it with you to the store. Usually cables are sold in one set of several pieces at once.
So we learned how to change the heater cables on a VAZ 2114. The most important thing when carrying out work is not to rush, to understand the principle of operation of the hot and cold air supply mechanism. We wish you warm heaters!)
A car uses many systems and mechanisms. One of them is the interior heating system. The VAZ-2114 is also equipped with it. Unlike an air conditioner, a stove is required in cars. After all, in the heat you can open the windows. But in winter you won’t be able to cope with the cold in the cabin without a stove. What does this element represent? How does the heating system of the VAZ-2114 work? The diagram, principle of operation and malfunctions are further in our article.

Hi all. Happy upcoming Defender of the Fatherland Day to everyone.
In general, one point in the operation of the stove bothered me: even when the lever for adjusting the supply of hot-cold air (hereinafter simply the GC lever) is in the extreme right position, COLD air was always blowing on the windshield and especially on the side windows
. despite the fact that the breath was already hot at my feet.
Let's figure out why this happens:
The design of the stove of the new model VAZ 2113-15
If there is at least a small gap in the place indicated by the arrow, then cold air will blow on the windshield anyway.
You can call this some kind of miscalculation of engineers. Also, due to this design, the flow temperature is poorly regulated. As you already understood from the picture, if you move the GC lever a little, cold air will immediately blow into your face, and not diluted with hot air. I think almost everyone has encountered this.
