Let's warm up! — Toyota Corolla Runx, 1.5 liter, 2001

Well, the severe Siberian frosts have come! Outside -30, it's time for night warm-ups! Although the car starts without problems. Nevertheless, I decided to play it safe and insulate my Knapsack a little so that my soul becomes calmer!

It started with the fact that I came to my father's garage with the intention of putting only a "cardboard on the radiator", I noticed that on all our trucks there were felt "covers" on the engines. I looked and thought, why don't I do the same! Sasha (one of the truck drivers) said that Privoz sells heat-resistant insulation with a foil side! Without hesitation, I went and bought myself 2 meters of this insulation and gave only 138 rubles =) Pretty cheap, but very effective! The machine retains heat longer and the engine heats up almost 2 times faster!

The process of "warming" is photographed below =)
And for this we will need:
1. Stationery Knife
2. Scissors
3. 2 meters of thermal insulation material
4. A few hands =)

Here is the roll

We begin to ruthlessly kramsat =)

I made a special "pocket" in order to easily get to the battery without removing all the insulation

And so we go to the radiator, remove the grille, begin to fit

A week ago, I decided to glue the glove compartment with a rug so that everything that is inside does not hang out and strum!

I cut it, put it on a double car adhesive tape, warmed it with a hairdryer, the rug stuck to the dead! Now it's a little quieter in the cabin =)

And I bought the rug itself for 156 rubles, size 36 * 57 cm

Yes, there are good specimens, but not Advance =) I often came to the service for right-handed Hondas, so there were several exactly the same frozen ones at once =)

here how to say ... whether it depends on the Honda or something else ...
I know a lot of Hondas, in winter it starts up at -30 with a half-kick)

G
Gennasik 20.02.22

Yes, it's very effective! On the same day, as I did everything, I did all the third-party tests =) Result +5 =) It keeps the temperature well, warming up accelerated, there is not a single hint of insulation deformation, which made me very happy =)

Exactly =)

I understand that I put thermal insulation in 2 layers, with foil to the engine?)

G
Gennasik 20.02.22

I additionally covered the Akum and made a heater so that it does not touch the wiring and hot spots on the engine

i
igorek36reg 20.02.22

on the main road they showed that the foil so conducted the current and shorted out, didn’t you cut it out under the battery?
thermal insulation anyway, or is there still non-combustible?

G
Gennasik 20.02.22

Why warm it up at all? I don't see the point

A
Andy29RUS 20.02.22

how did you insulate the battery
