Stove cleaning - Toyota Corona, 2.0L, 1994
It so happened that I had no luck with the stove on this car. Last winter was a hell of a torment, because the stove didn’t blow hot AT ALL, so, barely warm.
I didn't know much about the mat part before, so I stupidly changed everything: thermostat, radiator, antifreeze, radiator cap ... In one well-known office they washed me a stove radiator ... Coca-Cola! Unsurprisingly, it didn't help.
And at the end of this summer, digging up knowledge, it was decided to defeat the stove.
Two cans of high-gear flushing of the radiator were purchased, the pipes going to the stove were removed. For their place, their own hoses are connected, one of which went to a kettle with boiling water, the second to a basin.
The idea was simple - to break through the radiator with boiling water and wash it and put everything back together. But not everything was so simple. Water with a substance resembling sand came out of the radiator under very weak pressure. In general, flushing did not help and it was decided to remove the stove radiator itself and punch it with pressure. Why didn't they do it right away? It is located near the left leg, it is quite convenient, but the brass clamps that fix the pipes going to it are VERY difficult to put back without leaks.
They took off the radiator, put on the pipeline hose. Included! The hose flew off, all the clothes were wet) We put the hose on the Volgovsky clamp, turn it on again ... very strange sounds come from the radiator, similar to the howl of a dinosaur, and in a moment a LOT of all byaki flies out under pressure. Now the radiator is easily blown out, the goal is achieved. After spending another 2 hours with the assembly, we checked the efficiency - the car is really Africa, climate control saves)
In total, we managed from 6 pm to 3 am)

Hmm.
Can I have a photo or at least a link to where it is more clearly described?
I understood about the stove.
About the sensor. There is another sensor in the air filter - the inlet temperature sensor (it determines which heating ones will be in winter).
And the one that should be above the headlight (I only have a broken connector) affects climate control ...
Why asked, because when the stove heats up, it never turns on for maximum airflow, maximum for the penultimate power.
The stove radiator is located near the left leg, you need to remove the plastic cover and unscrew the pipes ... you don't need to disassemble anything.
there is nothing on top of the left headlight and the ambient temperature sensor is inserted into the air filter housing if it does not change sclerosis
Countryman, listen, in the manual I did not find how to get to the radiator (I decided to clean it too),
as I understand it, you need to remove the front panel for this.
How difficult and gemorno is it?
And another question, do you have an ambient temperature sensor (it is located in the area of ​​the left headlight from the top)?
And I have such a problem to warm up, the sensors have checked everything, they are working.
I changed the thermostat, it still gets warm.
I decided to check the old thermostat, threw it into the kettle, opened. (Works)
What is left to wash the radiator?
Or else there is something.
It's winter, the stove is like narmul blew, but only in the last mode. What do you advise?
