Where is the heater tap on the Daewoo Nexia 16 valves

The cold weather is coming, so it is extremely important that the heating system of your VAZ 2114 works properly. There could be a great many reasons for her refusal to work.

To prevent breakdowns, you should periodically check the condition of all elements of the stove and carry out preventive measures. However, it is not always possible to keep track of everything.

Today we will talk about the stove valve, which often becomes the cause of heater failure. Let's look at the main causes of breakdowns and ways to eliminate them.

Main malfunctions of the VAZ 2114 heater valve

It is not clear why, but it is this element of the cooling system that fails more often than others. This usually happens in the fall, when there is a need to use a heater. There are only two main reasons for crane failure:

1. souring of the locking device;
2. depressurization of the housing (leaking).

In the first case, it turns out to be impossible to open or close the tap. Oxidative processes inside lead to the elements of the locking mechanism sticking to each other.

Using force to remove constipation can lead to its complete destruction. This breakdown is not critical, and allows you to operate the car in the warm season. It is enough to simply block the flow of air into the cabin using a damper.

If a leak is detected, it is not recommended to use the car. Violation of the tightness of the valve body is manifested by the following symptoms:

• decrease in coolant level;
• presence of a characteristic odor in the cabin;
• the appearance of a greasy coating on the windshield;
• traces of coolant on rubber mats or carpet under the glove compartment.

It is worth noting that the heater valve has a non-separable body, which is why it cannot be repaired. Only replacing it will help here.

Types of stove heater taps

There are several types of heater taps suitable for one car model.

1. Standard factory plastic faucet with a rubber membrane as a locking mechanism. As is often the case with domestic car models of past years, this crane is the least expensive and the most unreliable. Such a faucet “likes” to oxidize, stick and rust.
2. Ball valve. In such a unit, instead of a rubber membrane, a ball with holes is installed. This design of the part is much more reliable, but still does not prevent oxidation. The cost of a ball valve is much higher than a standard factory one.
3. The ceramic heater tap consists of a plastic body and two ceramic plates that perform shut-off functions. The most reliable option for a stove heater tap, however, due to the low throughput of a ceramic tap, its heat transfer is low. In addition, ceramic taps are prone to leaks. A ceramic tap is the most expensive option for stove heater taps.

Causes of breakdowns

It so happens that replacing the VAZ-2114 heater tap occurs more often than working with other elements of the car’s heater. Apparently, even at the production stage, the engineers did not think through this unit well.

The heater valve breaks for two reasons:

1. Locking devices become sour. Because of this, the driver cannot open or close the tap. Oxidation provokes sticking of the locking elements to each other. If you use force, you risk breaking the locking devices. This is not so scary in the warm season, since air flows can be controlled by dampers. How to check the faucets of the VAZ-2114 stove for souring? Just give it a spin. If this requires a lot of force, the element is worn out and needs to be replaced.
2. Violation of tightness. Depressurization entails a leak of coolant. Such a breakdown is indicated by a decrease in the coolant level, the appearance of a smell of antifreeze or antifreeze inside the car, the formation of greasy spots on the windshield and traces of coolant on the floor (in the glove compartment area, at the feet of the front passenger). Checking for leaks is easy. If it is broken, you will notice it immediately by characteristic signs.

Important! The stove faucet has a non-separable body. Therefore it is impossible to repair it. If an element breaks, you only need to replace it.

Diagnosis of stove malfunctions

The design of the stove is quite simple. It would seem that there is nothing to break here. The heater cannot break down completely, since its design consists of components independent from each other. However, some elements can fail quite often. These include:

• radiator;
• tap;
• pipes;
• resistor;
• mode switch.

Heater radiator malfunctions

The main reasons for the failure of the stove radiator:

• clogging;
• the appearance of a leak (depressurization).

In the first case, deposits accumulate on the inner walls of the radiator tubes. They can form as a result of:

• long-term operation of the radiator;
• use of low-quality coolant;
• getting dirt, friction products, water, etc. into the cooling system.

As a result, the circulation of antifreeze in the heater radiator is disrupted or completely stopped, and the air entering the cabin does not have time to heat up normally. In winter, it will be cold inside the car, and defrosting the windshield will become a real problem.

A leak in the radiator can appear as a result of corrosion and drying out. Coolant leaking from the heater usually forms a puddle on the floor under the panel on the passenger side. In addition, a characteristic odor will appear in the cabin, and an oily coating will form on the windshield due to evaporation of the coolant, reducing the driver’s visibility. The latter is especially true when driving against the sun or at night, when oncoming traffic is moving with its headlights on.

Stove tap leaking

The stove valve may fail for two reasons:

• souring of the locking mechanism;
• drying out of the device casing.

If the stove has not been used for a long time, the tap may become sour. In this case, when trying to open the tap, you should not use much force, as you can damage the tap itself or break the control cable.

When the housing dries out, the leak may not be immediately noticeable. But after some time, signs similar to those of a radiator leak will appear (a puddle of coolant on the floor, a pungent odor in the cabin, an oily coating on the windshield).

If the heater valve is faulty, coolant begins to leak into the cabin.

Wear of pipes

Antifreeze from the heater radiator may begin to leak through the inlet and outlet pipes as a result of their wear under the influence of chemically active substances included in the coolant and high temperature. In addition, the pipes can be damaged if the clamps that ensure the tightness of the connections are over-tightened.

There are a total of four pipes in the heating system of the VAZ 2113–15 - two in the engine compartment, connecting the engine to the tap, and two in the cabin, going from the tap to the heater radiator. Coolant leakage can occur in different ways. In one case, the antifreeze will flow onto the engine protection and onto the street, in the other - into the car interior. In any case, it will appear as:

• drop in coolant level in the expansion tank;
• puddles forming under the car or in the cabin;
• the appearance of an unpleasant odor in the cabin.

If the heater pipes are damaged, coolant may begin to leak into the passenger compartment.

Resistor failure

The stove resistor consists of two windings and serves to change the resistance of the electric current supplied to the fan. The fan motor can operate in three modes, which can be changed using a switch.

In the third mode, the fan is supplied with a voltage equal to the voltage of the on-board network, and it operates at full power. When the second mode is turned on, the voltage decreases due to one of the windings, the resistance of which increases to approximately 0.2 Ohms. The fan begins to rotate noticeably slower. And finally, in the first mode, the resistance of the windings increases to 0.8 Ohms, and the power of the electric motor is reduced to a minimum.

The main sign of resistor failure is the fan operating only in the third mode. The reason for this is the burnout of one or both windings.

If the resistor fails, the stove operates in only one mode

Switch failure

The cause of a non-working interior heater can only be determined after checking each of its elements. Sometimes the stove mode switch itself may fail. This occurs quite rarely as a result of oxidation or destruction of its contacts.

Use the switch to change the fan speed

Work algorithm

The faucet can be replaced in two ways - with full or partial drainage of antifreeze.

The first option is suitable for those who decide to simultaneously replace the antifreeze. Before starting work, unscrew the drain plugs and wait for the coolant to drain into the container, after which we proceed to remove the assembly.

Replacement with partial drainage is suitable for those who have a supply of antifreeze for refilling. We place a container under the car at the junction of the cooling system pipe with the tap and disconnect this pipe, after which we lift its end up and fix it in this position. The loss of antifreeze will be 1.0-1.5 liters (it will drain from the heater), while the coolant will remain in the cooling system, but we will replace it after the work is completed.

Replacing the faucet of the VAZ-2114 stove is carried out using the following technology:

Loosen the clamps

Disconnecting the heater tap rod of the VAZ 2114

1. We place the car on a pit or overpass and wait until the engine cools down (not completely, but so that it remains warm).
2. Drain the antifreeze (partially or completely).
3. We disconnect the coolant supply and drain from the faucet on the side of the engine compartment.
4. In the passenger compartment, remove the side decorative trim of the console on the passenger side.
5. We loosen the clamps securing the pipes to the faucet fittings in the cabin and disconnect the pipes, having first placed a rag under them. If you plan to replace the pipes, you can disconnect them from the heater radiator and remove the faucet along with the pipes.
6. Disconnect the control mechanism cable from the locking diaphragm axis lever. If it is not possible to separate them from the passenger side, then you can get to them from the driver’s side (after first removing the plastic trim).
7. We climb under the car. We find two nuts securing the faucet body to the engine shield and unscrew them and remove the washers from the studs.
8. We move into the cabin and remove the unit.

What is a stove tap, its functional features and location

The stove tap is a metal part that resembles a regular water tap. Antifreeze (coolant or coolant) constantly flows through it.

In the Chevrolet Niva, the coolant can flow through 2 cooling circles: winter and summer. The heating tap gives the driver the opportunity to switch to one of them. For example, with the onset of summer, when the tap is fully open, it is almost unbearable to be inside the car due to the heat, so it is closed for this period of time, and with the onset of cold weather, the tap is opened again. Due to active use, the part eventually becomes unusable and leaks coolant.

It is very easy to determine whether a part is faulty - lift the cover in the Chevrolet Niva interior. If there are obvious signs of leakage, the unit must be replaced.

In the diagram you can see where the heater tap is located and the circulation of antifreeze in two circles

HOW TO CHANGE THE STOVE TAP WITH YOUR OWN HANDS?

You will need a pit to work with because the heater valve is located at the bottom of the hood, under the side trim on the passenger side. Replacing the stove valve on a VAZ 2114 is carried out in several stages:

1. On the faucet, you need to brush the fasteners, rinse them with brake fluid, and leave them for a while so that the fluid cleans the threads on the studs and the nuts are easier to unscrew. To wash studs, it is better to use WD-40, if available. This is an important stage in the work, because rusted bolts can grab the nut so much that unscrewing them becomes problematic. Sometimes when unscrewing nuts, the bolts need to be held with an additional wrench or pliers.
2. In the cabin, remove the side trim. Now you can see the pipes leading to the tap. Loosen the hose clamps and remove the hoses one by one. At the same time, keep a container with antifreeze near you, which you immediately place under the emptied pipes so that the remaining antifreeze flows out.
3. If you decide to replace the hoses, they must also be released from the radiator. But if they are in satisfactory condition, then when you start assembling, you will only need sealant.
4. Return to the pit and use a 10mm wrench to unscrew the nuts holding the tap in place.
5. Go back to the body again and try to remove the heater valve of the VAZ 2114 towards the passenger seat. In this position, remove the lock and release the cable that controls the tap.
6. Now you can install the new faucet. First put the cable on it, secure it with a spring clip, and only then can you screw it into place. Install O-rings between the valve and the body. Use sealant to secure the stove pipes in place. Don't forget to pour the antifreeze back into the radiator at the end.

Replacing the stove valve of the VAZ 2115, as well as the VAZ 2113, is carried out in the sequence described above. The design of the heater in these VAZ models is the same as that of the VAZ 2108.

Replacing the VAZ-2115 heater tap most often worries the owner of a domestic vehicle in two cases - if the switch has soured or the motorist has discovered an antifreeze leak that has occurred in the housing.

Heater valve VAZ-2115

The VAZ-2115 heater valve, which required repair due to the first problem, is most often changed in the spring-autumn period, when with the onset of the first noticeable cold or spring warmth, the motorist does not turn on the switch, fixing it only in one extreme position (closed or open) . As a rule, souring of an element occurs due to its being in one position for a long time.

In turn, replacing the stove tap due to a second malfunction is the result of normal aging of the seals.

The heating must always be in working order, if, for example, the first case does not threaten the car owner with huge problems in the future, then the second situation should be paid attention to immediately, the cost of the consequences of such an antifreeze leak can result in a cost that is several times higher than the price of the faucet. It is worth noting that, along with other important procedures, qualified specialists recommend replacing the stove filter every fall; this element of the system is often clogged with leaves and other debris, which reduces the flow of air entering the cabin.

Reasons for replacement

If the heater valve fails, it will have to be replaced. There are two main reasons that lead to the need for such a procedure.

Agree, it would be a shame to spend a lot of money on restoring or even replacing the power unit if the reason for this is a banal breakdown of the stove faucet.

To prevent such problems, we strongly recommend that at the first sign of failure of this unit, you take appropriate repair actions.

How to determine a breakdown

There are several ways to detect that something is wrong with the stove:

• Inspect the unit visually;
• Check the current coolant level and monitor it if it drops sharply;
• Raise all the carpets inside the cabin, determine if there are any traces of coolant on the floor;
• Check the operation of the radiator;
• Make sure that the pipes through which the liquid passes are intact.

Traces of leakage

If the warm air supply regulator, that is, the faucet, cannot be repaired, it cannot be repaired, then be sure to urgently replace the unit. To do this, it is not at all necessary to go to a service station. This kind of work can easily be done with your own hands.

Choice

Before replacing, you must purchase a new faucet. Today, manufacturers offer VAZ 2114 owners a choice of three options:

• Factory product;
• Ball valve;
• Regulator made of ceramic plate.

Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it is impossible to single out a clear favorite among the presented options. Decide for yourself based on the cost and functionality of the unit.

What's the result?

Taking into account the technical and design features of the VAZ 2114 stove faucet, as well as knowing the location of its installation, in case of problems with the stove, you can diagnose and fix the breakdown yourself. As experts recommend, to prevent the stove faucet from turning sour, it is recommended to periodically turn on the stove even in the warm season.

We also add that to increase the service life of a part (especially a standard one), it is necessary to carry out regular and high-quality maintenance of the cooling system, select the correct coolant concentrate, change the working fluid in a timely manner, etc.

If the factory faucet still fails, it is better to replace it immediately, and only with high-quality analogues (even taking into account the higher cost). Finally, we note that these recommendations will help extend the service life of the standard heater tap, as well as the heater radiator and the car engine cooling system itself.

Replacing the heater valve on a VAZ 2114

Today on sale you can find taps with a metal shut-off device and with a ceramic one. The latter are considered more reliable, as they are resistant to oxidative processes, however, as far as tightness is concerned, models with a metal lock are in no way inferior to them.

There are also valves with a ball locking mechanism, but they are also not particularly reliable. The table below shows the models of heater valves for the VAZ 2114. The price of the valves varies from 150 to 350 rubles, depending on the model.

Tools and supplies you will need to replace the faucet:

• set of wrenches;
• Phillips and flat screwdriver;
• pliers;
• container for collecting drained coolant;
• rag.

First, we place the car on an overpass or in a pit. Let the engine cool down. Next you need to drain the coolant. This can be done by unscrewing the drain plug (key 13) on the cylinder block, after opening the expansion tank, or through the drain hole at the bottom of the cooling radiator.

Next, we find under the hood on the front passenger side two pipes leading into the cabin. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the worm clamps and remove the hoses. If coolant leaks from them, substitute a container and use a rag.

Now let's go to the salon. In the front passenger seat at the bottom left we look for the pipes going from the radiator to the heater tap. For convenience, remove the left panel cover covering the radiator. Loosen the clamps securing them and disconnect the hoses. If liquid leaks, use a rag.

When the hoses are disconnected on both sides, go back under the hood and unscrew the 2 nuts on the studs securing the pump housing. Here we use the key for 10. We move into the salon and pull the tap towards us. Using pliers and a flat-head screwdriver, disconnect the drive cable of the faucet locking mechanism, after first removing the bracket that holds the rod.

We remove the broken heater tap. We begin the installation of a new faucet by attaching the cable and pipes going to the heater radiator.

Then we reassemble in reverse order. Once installation is complete, do not replace the panel cover. After pouring coolant into the radiator, start the engine and warm it up until the fan turns on.

We check the operation of the system by opening the damper, turning on the heater fan, and moving the valve control lever left and right.

We periodically visually inspect the faucet and the connection points to it for leaks. If everything is fine, replace the instrument panel cover.

Replacement

Now let's move on to the replacement procedure. You need to figure out how to remove the unit so that you can then install a new heater radiator in its place.

Dismantling works

If you follow a certain algorithm, then the work will be completed without any problems even without impressive experience and serious skills in such a matter.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=GcNZ7y50KQ4

First, drain the engine cooling system. For this purpose, there is a special plug at the bottom of the radiator. To avoid getting burned during the coolant draining process, it is recommended to give the engine some time to cool. This should be done if you have just driven into the garage. The stove is located on the right side of the front console. In this regard, it will be necessary to dismantle this unit. Be sure to disconnect the negative terminal from the battery first

This way you can avoid short circuits and wiring burnouts. Now we disconnect the mounting screws holding the console to the body. Here it is important to act as carefully as possible and not disrupt the sequence of work. Before removing, make sure that all screws are unscrewed, otherwise you risk simply breaking the plastic element. To make the work convenient for you, we recommend taking care of high-quality lighting. In addition to the main light in the garage, also bring a carrier or use a headlamp. There are fairly simple instructions for dismantling the stove

To do this, remove the glove compartment, unscrew the mounting screws, and move the console on the right to a sufficient distance so that you can work. Just don’t forget to fix the console, otherwise it will constantly get in the way, returning to its original place.

Removed glove compartment

1. Prepare a container where the remaining coolant will be drained. Now we disconnect the rubber pipes that come out of the radiator. We strongly recommend that you ensure that antifreeze or antifreeze does not get on the upholstery of your cabin.
2. After this, the stove body is disassembled, as a result of which you can get to the radiator by removing it from its seat.
3. Before reassembling, be sure to make sure that there are no cracks in the stove, that the body has no mechanical damage or signs of deformation. If they are present, replacing the radiator will not give the desired result.

Handy stopper for console

If you are working in the winter, pay attention to whether your heater fan makes a whistling or squeak-like sound when starting up. This indicates that the electric motor bushings are worn out.

They are subject to mandatory replacement. Perform work on assembling the unit with a new radiator in the reverse order. Make sure that all fasteners provided by the factory are in place. If after assembly there are supposedly extra parts left, you will have to dismantle everything again and look for where this part fell out from. After assembly, add new coolant and check the heater for proper operation. The engine warms up to operating temperature. This way you will understand whether the problem has gone away, or whether the stove does not want to work for other reasons.

When installing a new element, try to carefully seat it in place

It is extremely important not to damage the ribs and prevent them from bending. The cause will have to be eliminated, whether you like it or not

It is unlikely that you are attracted by the prospect of driving in winter at the same temperature, both inside and outside.

Choosing a new faucet

VAZ-2114 owners are often interested in what is better to choose instead of the old faucet and how to find a good, proven element.

Some will say that only the original faucets for the stove on the VAZ-2114 perform well. This is actually a misconception. In fact, the locking mechanism of such taps is based on a rubber membrane, and the duralumin body rusts and sours. Their only advantage is the price. The cost of a new faucet will be up to 120 rubles. But if the car is used frequently, the elements will have to be changed every year.

If you are replacing the stove tap, choose one of two options. Decide for yourself which faucet to choose, based on your available budget. Both elements are good:

1. Ceramic. The locking mechanism is made of ceramic, and the body is made of high quality plastic.
2. Ball. The essence of such a locking mechanism is a ball with holes.

The following manufacturers can be distinguished:

• YAVVA;
• Citron;
• Road map;
• DAAZ;
• Luzar (Luzar).

Replacement instructions

Repair of the heater tap consists of replacing it. This is not a complicated procedure, so the repair can be done at home.

Tools and materials

To carry out the procedure, you need to prepare the tools and necessary materials:

• a set of keys;
• Phillips screwdriver;
• new tap;
• pliers;
• clamp with a diameter of about 23 mm;
• rubber gaskets;
• rags;
• sealant;
• container for draining working fluid;
• coolant.

New part for the stove
When deciding which is better, a ceramic faucet or a metal one, it is better to purchase a product with a ceramic locking mechanism. It meets all requirements for throughput and fastenings. In addition, it will last a long time, since ceramics are not subject to oxidation processes.

Node malfunctions

There are three faults in the valve of the VAZ-2114 stove, but if they occur, the unit must be replaced, since it cannot be repaired.

Crane breakdowns:

1. Incomplete opening/closing of the channel. It occurs due to wear at the junction of the axle and the shut-off valve. As a result, a significant backlash appears, due to which, even when the valve lever is moved to the extreme position, the damper does not open the channel completely. This malfunction negatively affects the performance of the stove.
2. Gate valve jammed. This happens because the tap has not been used for a long time and the moving element has become stuck and does not move. Attempts to open with force result in the rupture of the connection between the axle and the valve or the formation of strong backlash, which causes the valve to also become inoperable.
3. Loss of tightness. The tightness of the unit is ensured by seals on the damper axis. If these elements are worn out or damaged, the liquid flows out through the mounting hole of the axle. This malfunction does not affect the performance of the stove, but antifreeze leaks will appear in the interior.

We recommend: How to properly bleed the brakes on a VAZ-2114?

The first two faults can only be identified visually by removing the valve from the car. As for the loss of tightness, a symptom of a breakdown will be traces of antifreeze on the floor mat in the cabin. And since a leak can occur due to leaks at the junction of the pipes with the heater elements, when leaks appear, first of all, find the location of the leak. If the faucet leaks, there will be traces of antifreeze on the body.

WHY DOESN'T THE OVEN TAP WORK?

One of the reasons for a non-working faucet is souring. As a result of corrosion under the influence of chemical liquids, the flag loses its mobility, and the tap stops opening or closing. If this happened when the tap was open, then warm air will flow inside even when no one needs it.

Sometimes a failed heater faucet in a VAZ 2114 leads to air in the system, the stove does not heat, and cold air enters the cabin.

But the most common defect is a leaking stove tap. Antifreeze gets into the car body and stains the floor mats. In both the first and second cases, it is necessary to replace the VAZ 2114 heater valve.

If you find antifreeze under your feet, do not rush to immediately buy a new faucet. The leak can come from a burst pipe; even the heater radiator can leak. First, find out where the antifreeze is leaking from, and only then go to the auto parts store to make purchases.

Replacement procedure

When starting a procedure such as replacing the Niva 21214 heater tap, the following conditions are observed at the preparatory stage:

Draining antifreeze is carried out as follows:

Next, prepare the equipment necessary for the procedure. Here, in addition to the main element intended for replacement, you will need such auxiliary tools and materials as:

Having prepared a set of tools, proceed directly to the process of disassembling the unit and replacing the heater valve on Niva 21214. To do this:

The rod mount and metal pipe are installed on the new element using new gaskets. Installation of a new part to the heater is carried out by performing all the above steps in reverse order.

Dismantling and replacing the stove valve on a VAZ-2114

It seems that to replace the faucet on a VAZ-2114 you need to remove the instrument panel. In reality, it will be enough to remove the side trim piece, as well as the glove compartment. The main rule is to unscrew all the screws that you can see.

Right sidebar

The result of our efforts is what is shown below.

The result of dismantling the cladding

And now you can see two “internal hoses”. What to do next is clear to everyone.

What can you see under the cladding on the right?

Loosen the clamps installed on the faucet side and remove the hoses. By the way, antifreeze may leak here (it is poisonous).

Under the hood

Below, near the partition, you can see two “external hoses”. Loosen the clamps and remove the hoses from the pipes. Next, use a spanner to unscrew the two nuts (see photo).

All the actions performed under the hood

Let's go to the salon.

In the cabin

Without disconnecting the rod, remove the faucet (photo 1). Then immediately remove the “holder” (photo 2). And then, by pulling the assembly outward, it will be possible to remove the mechanical rod completely.

Three final steps

As you can see, everything is simple. Installation is carried out in reverse order.

Replacing the VAZ 2114 stove tap with your own hands (step by step)

Work is performed on a cold engine:

1. Unscrew the side panel of the center instrument panel on the passenger side or remove the panel completely.
2. Place rags under the faucet and the passenger's feet.
3. Open the hood and unscrew the clamps of the heater outlet and inlet hoses, remove the pipes from the faucet and drain the liquid into an empty container.

4. Move into the cabin and use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the fastening clamps of the heater radiator pipes to the faucet. Remove them and place a container to drain the coolant.

5. Using pliers, remove the crane lever rod bracket and remove it from the hole in the lever.
6. Then move under the hood again and unscrew the two fastenings of the faucet to the shield.

7. Move into the cabin and remove the faucet.
8. Install the new faucet in its place.
9. From the engine compartment, secure it with two nuts. It is recommended to pre-lubricate them with anticorrosive agent.
10. Move into the cabin, open the faucet completely and tighten the bracket.

11. Place the pipes on the engine compartment and passenger compartment sides and secure them well.
12. Fill with coolant if drained completely. Or unscrew the nipple on the throttle assembly and pour liquid into the tube until it is full.
13. Replace the pipe, start the engine, warm it up, tighten the clamps of the faucet pipes and turn on the heater.

For what reasons is the Chevrolet Niva crane replaced?

In a car, the heating valve is a maintenance-free unit, so it is necessary to change it for both technical and financial reasons. If the faucet breaks down, it is only thrown away, and the causes of the malfunction may be as follows:

On a Chevrolet Niva, the heating valve for the heater is located in the wall of the engine compartment, so when you open the hood of the car, you will see a pipe that goes to the valve adapters from the radiator. To get to it, you need to dismantle the dashboard in the cabin on the passenger side.

The stove valve is mounted in a special niche in the engine compartment

If the faucet has been replaced, then it is better to install new pipes along with it, because during operation they have probably already lost their elasticity.
