To perform the work, you will need two new rubber gaskets for the heater valve, a worm clamp with a diameter of 16-23 mm and coolant.
Work is carried out with a cold engine.
Removing
1. We prepare the car for work (see "Vehicle preparation for maintenance and repair").
2. In the engine compartment, use a screwdriver to loosen the inlet hose clamp and remove the hose from the tap (lower branch pipe) (see "Heater radiator - replacement").
3. Remove the storage shelf and storage box body (see "Dashboard - removal and installation").
4. socket wrench by 7 mm loosen the bolt securing the heater tap drive rod.
5. Having released the thrust shell from under the bracket, remove the thrust tip from the crane lever.
6. Ring wrench by 10 mm unscrew the two bolts securing the faucet to the radiator. In order for the lower embedded nut not to fall out of the socket, we fix it with plasticine.
7. Remove the valve, removing its branch pipe from the seal located in the partition of the engine compartment (see "Heater radiator - replacement"). The junction of the faucet and radiator flanges is sealed with a rubber gasket. In this case, a small amount of coolant may leak from the heating radiator, to collect which it is necessary to put a rag on it.
8. Key by 10 mm unscrew the two bolts securing the pipe to the faucet.
9. Remove the pipe. The junction of the flanges of the valve and the branch pipe is sealed with a rubber gasket.
Installation
1. Replace rubber gaskets with new ones.
2. Install the heater valve in reverse order.
3. Move the heater tap control lever to the far right position.
4. Add coolant (see "Coolant - level check and replacement").
5. After filling the system with coolant, we check the tightness of the connections of the valve with the radiator and hose. Tighten them if necessary.
6. Installation of other parts is carried out in reverse order.
