Warmth in the car interior is an indispensable attribute of a comfortable trip in winter. And in the summer, the stove has its own function of local ventilation.
Like any other device, it can fail. This article will discuss why the stove on a VAZ 2114 does not heat up and how to make the stove heat up better on a VAZ 2114.
As experienced craftsmen say, there can be many reasons why the stove on a VAZ 2114 does not heat well. In order to skillfully and quickly select the right one from all sorts of problems, you need to clearly understand what this heating system is.
It's cold in the VAZ 2114
Causes of malfunctions
The starting operation of the fan in the heating system is disrupted
If such a malfunction occurs, the stove will have to be disassembled to find the breakdown. But before that, you need to start the car and turn on all three fan power levels in turn. If there is no additional noise, then it’s time to start disassembling.
Also, in a VAZ 2114 the stove does not heat if the thermostat is faulty. With such a breakdown, the coolant circulates in a circle without having time to cool.
Accumulated air lock
An air lock in the cooling system can form if the engine has already stopped running. At this point, the coolant temperature begins to drop. It is then that air can leak into the upper part of the radiator, and then it moves to the thermostat. Later, when the engine is started again, the pump will drive the accumulated air from the thermostat into the radiator of the heating system.
Helpful advice: to easily free yourself from the air lock, you need to remove the pipe and slowly fill in antifreeze to the maximum mark.
Faulty faucet
Attention, the most common reason. In nine out of ten cases, this is a faucet that does not open completely. This problem can have two reasons: it is completely out of order and needs to be replaced, or it is poorly secured and due to the heater cable, which is located near the pedal assembly. The cable needs to be tightened a little by grabbing it with pliers.
If at the same time the stove does not supply hot air to the cabin, and the faucet is leaking, then the latter must be urgently replaced. At such a moment, a greasy coating forms on the glass, and the same stains may appear on the floor, and a pronounced smell of antifreeze and antifreeze hovers in the atmosphere of the cabin.

The radiator is clogged in the heating system
If the heater radiator is clogged with dirt and debris, then the heater does not blow well and the flow of warm air enters the cabin barely noticeable. This is especially unpleasant if there is decent frost behind the glass.
The quality of the radiator in the heating system leaves much to be desired
This kind of news about the performance properties of their radiator is most often received by car owners who bought a used VAZ 2114 back in the summer. And before the onset of cold weather, they do not even suspect the upcoming problems. Also, a bad radiator can be installed at a car service center. A gullible customer who did not control the result of the master’s work may become a victim of deception and negligence. In any case, a bad radiator will have to be replaced with a high-quality one. There are no options here.
Replacing the faucet
Tuning is also possible for the standard stove tap. It must be removed and a curved tube installed that will lead into the engine compartment. Thus, we get two positive points:
- Improving the level of coolant circulation;
- Preventing possible antifreeze leaks.
To replace the tap, first of all you need to turn off or disconnect the hose and drain the remaining liquid from the heating system. Next, a curved tube is installed and connected to the cylinder head pipe using a hose.
Prevention methods
To avoid a reoccurrence you will need:
- The first preventative measure is to disassemble the system in advance and clean every part.
- The presence of a clean cabin filter under the hood. As you understand, a dirty and clogged filter prevents the passage of hot air, and for the same reason the radiator becomes covered with a large layer of dirt.
- Fresh antifreeze. It needs to be changed regularly and maintained at the proper level. Then the air supply to the radiator through the thermostat will be uninterrupted.
- Hermetically sealed faucet and radiator. This can be verified when the engine is well warmed up.
A functioning heating system will be confirmed by the silent, well-functioning operation of the fan and a continuous flow of warm air even when the car is static.
Tuning VAZ 2115 → How to make
so that warm air blows
Problem, overboard.34 (Surgut. Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug), we are drifting through the expanses of the Siberian region, in the cabin, at all 90 degrees, a little warm air is blowing from the stove. WHAT SHOULD I DO TO TAKE HIM MOM??
There are proposals from strangers to my beloved co-worker. mechanics: 1) put a piece of cardboard behind the grill (I did it last year, it seemed a little warmer; 4.5) put the heater filter in the trunk (somewhere under the hood on the left near the heater); 3) change the radiator to a copper one (the downside is that you are unlikely to find it on sale; I think it’s a rare example)
PS. By the way, no matter how much I travel in the door, it blows, God forbid, and it’s very hot

How to make a stove for a VAZ 2108-2115 so that it heats up stronger and warmer without turning off the car
How to make a stove
for

2108-2115, so that it heats up stronger and
warmer
.
The first thing I would do is check the heater valve and the cable that opens it. Maybe it's not fully open. You can simply use a warm engine and with the tap open, feel the pipes that go to the heater radiator in the cabin (under the panel on the passenger side). They must be hot! Well, check the coolant level. And then put the cardboard behind the bars) roll up the branch

That's why our mechanic kept talking about his Mazda. Allegedly, he removed the cabin filter from it and put it in the trunk. But since he has a Mazda, this does not mean that tag has a similar device. I, too, on our Surgut forum, heard about opening the faucet. Supposedly you pull the valve. and the faucet does not open until the gallery. Autonasheprom headache. Okay, I'll take a look.
Thanks to everybody, you're free.
aaaaaaaaaaaaa. here's another thing. I heard that instead of cardboard, a tourist rug can be thicker if you roll up a branch

I had a 99, the stove didn’t work well on it, so I accidentally came across a half-closed faucet, and then everything worked well, although not for long)))) a month or two and I crashed the car
Any additional device that is installed in a car is designed to enhance the power of a stationary unit, which alone is unable to function as the motorist desires. The same rule applies to the second heater, which is often installed in the interior of domestic vehicles. The second stove, which will be located inside the VAZ-2114 interior, will be able to optimize the process of warming up the car, especially in cases where it is incredibly cold outside. In the material below we will consider the types of various additional heaters that can be installed in the VAZ-2114. We will learn about the advantages and disadvantages of this type of insulation, which is quite possible to do with your own hands.
ON OTHER MODELS
Apparently, the design of the crane turns out to be quite successful if it is installed on other car models. But only the Ulyanovsk-made ceramic faucet “Yavva” is being considered; the other models of parts 2108-2115 have not proven themselves well. In particular, the most inventive car owners “introduce” the product to the Niva and VAZ classics. Some modifications are required (the plastic part is removed, the metal pipes of the heater radiator are filed if necessary).
Purpose of the additional heater
The additional stove on the VAZ-2114 is most often of interest to motorists living in the northern regions of the country. However, recently there has been a trend that even cars “living” in the middle zone are equipped with it. As a rule, this type of car owner includes those who want to drive with greater comfort in a fully warmed-up car, and those who do not want to waste time optimizing the operation of a standard device.
The example will consider options for devices that will directly interact with the cooling system of the power unit. Maximizing the benefit of the device will be the built-in electric fan, through which the hot air flow is distributed throughout the vehicle interior. It is worth noting that such a device can be purchased at a car dealership or, if you have free time, you can make it yourself.
If a motorist does not know the required dimensions of the device and believes that absolutely any additional stove can fit into the interior of a VAZ-2114, then this is not so. It is preferable to choose a unit that will not be more than 33 cm in width, 20 cm in height, and 25 cm in depth. Therefore, it is best to opt for an oversized product that can fit between the front seats or under the passenger seat.
Car insulation
Car modernization includes thermal insulation of the interior and engine compartment.
. It is better to carry out all preventive insulation work in the warm season. In cold weather, the setting efficiency of adhesives and sealants decreases.
Insulation of the interior
If you are choosing options for how to insulate a VAZ 2114 and are looking for optimal methods of thermal insulation, then you need to keep in mind that the interior is insulated by gluing insulating materials to the internal parts of the body. Construction insulating materials (for example, isolon, foil and non-foil, or penofol) are used as insulation. Cheap, low-quality materials are not recommended because they can cause persistent unpleasant odors in the interior.
To achieve maximum effect, the roof, bottom, wheel arches, doors (including the lower parts of the rear doors), the overlap of the engine compartment from the passenger compartment, and the sides of the rear seats must be glued.
Insulation of the engine compartment
The purposes of insulation are to supply heated air into the cabin and quickly warm up the engine to operating temperature. Most of the inner surface of the hood is covered with insulating material. The stores have a selection of ready-made kits for the engine compartment. The set consists of already cut parts, ready for gluing. In order to save money, you can purchase building insulating material, make a cut, cut it and stick it according to the marked marks.
To “insulate” the radiator, a suitable piece of cardboard is inserted behind the radiator grille. There are also special screens for radiators in stores. They are put on the radiator grille in frosty weather.
. The radiator cannot be closed 100%. Complete restriction of air flow reduces heat transfer and the engine constantly operates at the limit of permissible temperature conditions. The cooling fan will spin continuously or turn on very frequently.
The cardboard sheet (screen) should cover approximately 2/3 of the radiator area.
Installation of a second (cabin) heater
Installing a second stove is not easy; you will have to place the unit in the chosen location, depressurize the engine cooling system, and activate the durite hoses (by inserting them into the SOD section).
Then you should use a drill to make several holes in the engine shield, the diameter of which would not exceed 19 mm, after which you can carefully lay the pipes, placing them directly under the floor covering. The pipes must be secured with clamps on the new unit.
After that, there will be more than 2 liters of antifreeze in the expansion tank, you will have to remove the resulting air pockets. If necessary, control buttons for the new unit can be placed on the vehicle panel.
If you install an additional heater, the flow of antifreeze passing through it will be regulated by a standard pump. Therefore, an additional pump for the VAZ-2114 stove will be able to optimize the heating process of the interior and make the operation of the second heating device more productive.
As a rule, by installing a new heating device in the interior of a VAZ-2114, the interior of the car will be able to warm up to a comfortable temperature twice as quickly, in addition, importantly, the constantly cold zone in the area of the feet of passengers sitting in the rear will be constantly warm.
True, along with the advantages, there are also disadvantages, because the antifreeze will begin to heat up more slowly, and an additional source of noise will appear in the cabin.
Installation of additional components
Owners of the domestic VAZ-2114 most often decide to install a second heating device because the standard device is not of very high quality. The VAZ-2114 stove is small and, importantly, not airtight. The valves do not function entirely correctly; the faucet is not able to open to full power. If a car owner wants an exceptionally comfortable temperature in the cabin during the cold season, he will have to constantly open and close the tap, and most likely the pump will soon fail. The optimal additional pump for the VAZ-2114 stove is a turbo version with greater performance. You can install a Bosch pump (it must be installed at the outlet of the stove).
If the heater radiator on a VAZ-2114 car fails, a copper unit can be installed in its place. In foreign-made cars, an electric hair dryer is installed that preheats the air, due to which the antifreeze quickly heats up and streams of warm air begin to flow into the cabin almost instantly. As for the VAZ-2114, its small-volume heater “forces” cold air flows to pass through the radiator, which is why the antifreeze itself cools down greatly.
Instead of thinking about replacing the cabin filter, it is more prudent to install an additional radiator in the car that can warm up the air coming from the street in advance. You can purchase a radiator that comes with an air conditioner. It is best to buy a unit that is ideally sized. After installing the new device, everything should be laid with isolon, which will guarantee complete tightness.
As practice shows, an additional pump is needed solely to warm up the car when the power unit is activated. After some time has passed, it must be turned off, because pressure will be present in the system, and the antifreeze will warm up at that time. After installing the second heater in the VAZ-2114, it can be quite hot in the cabin; good ventilation of the cabin will not hurt. It would be prudent to install a faucet at the inlet of the second radiator.
Refinement of the pipe
When the air flow from the left deflector is too small, you can force its intensity. To do this, you need to insert a small (about 50 mm) fan into the pipe. A cooler used in computers is suitable for tuning.
First remove the deflector. Make a hole for the cooler and install it. Seal. Put the branch pipe with the fan in place. Restore electrical.
An alternative is to connect the cooler directly to the heater contacts. In this case, it will only work when the ignition is on.
Properly carried out modernization will add warmth to the interior and save the owner of the VAZ 2114 from many problems.
