The heater was very weak, especially at idle. The technicians suggested flushing the radiator, explained everything and did the job. After that, the heat in the cabin appears much faster.

Did the heater stop working in winter? The problem may be in the radiator. After flushing you will enjoy warmth and a comfortable ride in any weather. What we do at Auto Master service centre: - we flush coolant through the radiator; - rinse with clean water; - fill with new antifreeze;
How to determine that the radiator is clogged?
1. First you need to make sure that the cause of the heating-system failure is precisely the heater radiator and not another component. Then confirm that the thermostat and pump are working properly.
2. Warm the engine up to operating temperature
3. Locate the two hoses in the engine bay by opening the bonnet
4. Check whether these hoses are at normal temperature. If one is hot and the other cold, the radiator needs flushing
5. Even if both hoses are hot, the cabin can remain cold because coolant does not reach the clogged radiator. In this case we recommend replacing the heat exchanger.
6. To check pump serviceability, start the engine and open the expansion tank of the heat exchanger. If you see coolant flowing from the radiator into the tank, the pump is working correctly
Why the radiator becomes clogged
1 the unit has been in service for a long time and is reaching the end of its life
2 diagnostics were not carried out in time
3 the coolant level is not brought to the required mark
4 use of unsuitable, poor-quality antifreeze
5 continued entry of dirt particles from the cooling system into an already clogged radiator
6 corrosion due to insufficient corrosion inhibitors in the antifreeze
7 using water that contains many salts
8 entry of chemically active fluids—fuel or oil—into the cooling system
The heater operates on the same principle as the radiators in your home: its main task is to warm the cabin in cold weather.
Usually the heater is not switched on in summer and spring, so you can say it actually works for only one season. When the temperature begins to drop, we recommend checking the heater radiator in advance.
The key indicator of a radiator’s serviceability is correct coolant circulation between the pipes.
Depending on the problem’s complexity, two methods can be used:
For an hour we circulate the fluid through the radiator in one direction and then the same time in the opposite direction. We change the cleaner and repeat from the start. Finally everything is rinsed with clean water.
