The problem of glass fogging is probably familiar to many owners of Chevrolet Lanos. While the weather is dry, there are no problems, but, for example, in autumn and winter, many people are puzzled over how to eliminate glass fogging. I hasten to “reassure” you, fogging of glasses is not only a problem for Chevrolet Lanos. For interest, you can look at forums for other foreign cars and there is also a similar problem there. However, everything can be solved.

Cabin ventilation

First of all, you need to make sure that the interior ventilation is functioning properly. The rear shelf has air vents that communicate with the interior and trunk of the car. Very often, when soundproofing, many seal these holes, and the ventilation of the cabin worsens.

ventilation holes

Also check to see if the vent valves in the trunk are clogged. If you remove the side trims in the trunk, then behind them you can see two valves - one on each side. The openings in the valves are covered with rubber bands. Check if the rubber valves rise freely and are not clogged. It is not worth removing the valves, because without them the air from the passenger compartment will freely escape. And of course, make sure that the passage of air through the grilles is free.

Cabin filter

Actually, everything should be clear here. If you have not changed the cabin filter for a long time, then it is already clogged and does not pass air well. An old cabin filter contributes greatly to the fogging of the windows. Therefore, either change the filter in time, or completely remove it for the winter.

replace cabin filter

In addition, pay attention to the tightness of the right hood hinge. The fact is that the fastening of the right hood hinge is located directly above the cabin filter. If the loop is leaking, then cabin filter will be wet and fogging glasses you are guaranteed.

Anti-fog products

On the shelves of car dealerships today you can see a huge number of all kinds of anti-fogging windows. These are special polishes, aerosols and even unthinkable miracle wipes that “once and for all” will save you from fogging. Well, you can throw away the money if you have extra. Even the most effective means are not able to save from fogging if the ventilation system does not work properly.

If you really want to rub the glass with something from fogging, then use the "folk" remedy. Baby shampoo is great for sweating! Put a small amount of any baby shampoo (diluted with nothing) on ​​a napkin, and apply it on the glass in a thin layer. After drying, polish the glass with a soft cloth. This method really works - you can check it out.

recycling

No matter how stupid it may sound, but still ... but do you have recycling turned on? Many Chevrolet Lanos owners complain that even air conditioning does not prevent fogging. And very often the reason is

Use conditioner

If you need to quickly remove fogging from the windows, then just turn on the air conditioner. If in the cabin and engine compartment plus temperature, the air conditioner will turn on even when it's cold. The fog disappears instantly. In addition, for prevention, it is necessary to turn on the air conditioner at least once a week. This prevents seals from drying out and loss of refrigerant.

Everyone Daewoo owners Lanos / Sens is known for the eternal problem - misted windows. In many cars, this effect can be observed in rainy cool weather, and even more so in winter. But in Lanos this is really a huge problem, the airflow systems cannot cope, the windows quickly fog up. Drivers of Sens and Lanos look forward to winter least of all and sadly realize how long they will have to warm up the car in winter. Even if you managed to blow the glass in front, get rid of fogging, then opening the door once everything starts all over again.

After listening to the advice of my friends Lanosovodov, I can offer several options to simplify life and ease the torment of misted windows a little.

1. In summer and winter, with misted windows, you can briefly turn on the air conditioner, if any, and set the maximum temperature towards heat. Thus, the temperature will even out a little with the outside and the windows will dry quickly.
2. When you start the car, do not immediately close the door.
3. If the windows are foggy, open the windows slightly and turn on the airflow “without heat”.
4. Turn on recirculation, but not the highest temperature, choose the direction to the windshield - it will dry out. Then, so that the side windows do not fog up, turn off the recirculation, air intake from the outside and set the direction to the windshield and legs. We raise the temperature. In some cases, in this way, lateral and windshield stay dry and keep the cabin warm.
5. Treat the windows from the inside with anti-fog (anti-fog).
6. Remove the air filter in winter, as well as change it in a timely manner.
7. Remove the foam from the holes in the rear shelf.

With these methods, you can safely fight against fogging windows in Daewoo Lanos and Sens. If you know of other active options, write in the comments! Also share the article on social media. networks by clicking on the button below 🙂 Thank you.

Chevrolet Lanos, like Mitsubishi Lancer, are folk cars and quite popular among the citizens. But, each car has its drawbacks and diseases. Windows fog up in Lanos and Lancer, but this problem is easy enough to fix.

1. Drivers often forget to turn off the air recirculation mode, which is why the windows sweat. Yes, just simply, they forgot to turn it off, but what an unpleasant effect. It's very easy to fight her. It is enough to set the regulator to the window, while naturally turning off the recirculation, the shutdown button is located next to the air conditioner button, turn the “lamb” of the stove to the third blowing mode, or even higher. An air conditioner is also considered a good “fighter” with misted windows, it not only cools the air in hot weather, but also relieves it of excess moisture. It is worth turning it on, so everything will pass, even in the wettest weather, the car windows will be clean and the fogging effect will not appear.

2. It is worth paying attention to what lies at the feet in the car. Most likely the cause of foggy windows can be wet rugs. Even a small amount of moisture accumulated on them leads to an increase in air humidity in the car, especially when the mats are made of some kind of textile material. If water has accumulated on the rug, it is best to get rid of it. In winter, you need to shake off the snow boots. Also, any thing, if it is wet, leads to the same effect. It is desirable to place them in the trunk of a car, no matter the Lanos in a hatchback or sedan.

3. Of course, people are also a significant reason. It is rare that car rides take place in silence, mostly while talking to each other. When communicating, a person exhales moist air, thereby forming condensate, so lanos glasses sweat. In addition, a drunk person is a malicious "fogger" of car windows. It will be better if none of the passengers talk for a while, especially those who have drunk alcohol.

4. Not all Lanos were equipped with an air filter, for example, those made in Ukraine are rarely found with air filters. They were installed only on Polish FSO Lanos, Daewoo Lanos. If the car has a filter, then you definitely need to replace it and the problem with fogged windows will go away. If air filter not in the car, then you should not despair and worry, having bought a filter in any auto store, you can easily install it on Lanos.

After harsh winter weather, it is worth drying the car by leaving it in the sun with the windows slightly ajar.

If, with the onset of cold weather, with the stove turned on, it still remains cold in your car, then it's time to figure out what this may be due to.

Possible causes of malfunction

In order to understand in detail why Sens, you must first identify the cause of the malfunction. The root causes may be:

• low coolant level;
• thermostat malfunction;
• air in the cooling system;
• changing the position of the radiator.

Repair features

Often car owners are interested in what to do if ZAZ Sens. Let's take a closer look at what this may be connected with. It is possible that the Sens stove does not heat up due to the low level of coolant (coolant). Checking the coolant level in expansion tank, if the level is below the minimum, add antifreeze or antifreeze (depending on what you had previously filled). If after that the Sens stove still does not heat up and the liquid leaves, then it is necessary to look for the cause of the leak. The reasons for this can be: failure of the water pump, wear of the pipes of the cooling system, leakage of the heater radiator itself. After identifying the cause of the breakdown, we eliminate the defect (if possible). If repair is not enough, we replace the worn part.

Another issue could be a broken thermostat. It is quite simple to determine it, for this it is necessary to probe the pipes leading to the radiator with the engine running, which should heat up evenly. If the pipe coming out of the thermostat is cold, then this means a breakdown of the part. treated by replacement.

An air-laden cooling system can be a big problem. Due to insufficient engine cooling, overheating can occur, leading to very costly and time-consuming repairs. Air that has entered the system prevents the circulation of the coolant and normal heat exchange between the antifreeze and the engine.

To free the system from air, you will need to drive the car onto a flyover or onto any surface with a slope. The radiator cap should be the top point in the cooling system. Next, you need to perform the following steps:

1. remove the radiator cap;
2. start the engine;
3. bring it up to operating temperature.

The coolant will then start to leave, and it will need to be topped up. To increase the fluid flow, it is necessary to increase the engine speed. We carry out such actions until the bubbles from the return line stop flowing.

There are cases when the stove radiator fails, this happens due to the weak fastening of the heater radiator. Such malfunctions are determined quite simply: by lifting the hood and moving the radiator pipes, you will feel a slight dangling, and also hear a knock in the heater compartment while driving. This happens due to the fact that when driving on bad roads, the fastening plastic breaks out and the stove fails. However, such cases are extremely rare. This problem is eliminated by installing an additional mount.

Preparing for the winter

Before the onset of cold weather, it is necessary to carry out a number of preparatory actions that provide warmth in the cabin. The first thing many motorists cover the radiator opening. This is necessary for the normal operation of the engine: when it is below freezing outside and the car is moving, cold air enters the radiator. The most common material for this is a regular piece of cardboard, some use a blanket. Auto parts suppliers have developed special openings to replace homemade cardboard products.

Many car owners are wondering: on the Sense? One way to improve heating is to install a stove faucet. The principle of operation of the device is to regulate the flow of coolant into the radiator. It is installed on the heater return hose when the tap is closed, the pressure on the stove radiator increases, which results in greater heat transfer.

Another improvement method is to rearrange the return pipes and the expander. When modifying, you will not have to buy any additional nozzles. First we drain the coolant, then we just swap them, for this we just need to remove two clamps. Such an alteration will increase the flow of fluid passing through the stove radiator.

With these simple actions, you can improve the heating of the cabin.
