Radiator blind

To prevent the engine from cooling down in winter, dampers can be installed to close the radiator air intake.

During low temperatures, many drivers note increased fuel consumption and slow heating of the engine and car interior.  

Most often they are mounted on the radiator grille. This solution is effective on frosty days, as part of the cold air flow is cut off, which intensively absorbs heat from the radiator and engine compartment. It should be emphasized that in modern cars the second air flow is directed to the lower part of the radiator through the holes in the bumper and these holes should not be blocked.

After installing the cover, it is necessary to check the readings of the device that measures the temperature of the coolant. Diaphragms should not be used when air is passing through the grille to the turbocharger air cooler or to the air filter supplying the drive. With the onset of spring, the shelter must be removed.
