From operating experience
Of course, on the Volga, a stove is not a fountain. Because the engine on these cars works in completely different temperature conditions compared to VAZ cars. Therefore, you need to take this into account in the winter.
To achieve a comfortable temperature in the car, you need to shade the engine radiator and insulate both the engine compartment itself and the passenger compartment. Monitor the tightness of doorways, etc.
Recently, many Volga car drivers have begun to install an additional electric pump on a small circle of the cooling system. Pretty good results.
And of course, you need to check the condition of the stove radiator. Many people think that their radiator is clogged. Although, upon opening and disassembling, it turned out that the radiator cells were simply clogged with leaves and dust from the outside.
It should not be forgotten that the coolant flows through the heater radiator in a small circle. Makes her do this thermostat, which must be closed during engine warm-up.
And if for some reason the thermostat was removed or does not work properly, then the proper temperature of the stove cannot be achieved.
