Start-Classic for UAZ Patriot with ZMZ-409 engine
The engine starting heater is designed to maintain the required coolant temperature at a certain level.
For example, a temperature of 40°C will provide the necessary conditions in the cylinder for a quick start of the engine, regardless of external conditions. Structurally, the electric heater is an affordable design compared to independent engine starting devices. A conventional heater with the prefix “electro” is a heating element with power wires located in the engine body. Among the advantages of such a device are:
- A simple design that allows you to install it yourself.
- Low cost, which is due to the design features.
- Possibility of later modernization. If necessary, for passenger cars it will be possible to add a timer, fuse sensor and other optional devices.
Before installing an engine heater from a stationary 220V network, get acquainted with the design features. The design is based on a tungsten heating coil located in the cylinder block. Depending on the power, a small volume of antifreeze can be heated relatively quickly.
The main disadvantage is the high energy consumption. In just one night, individual models consume up to 10 kW of electricity. That is why progressive samples are equipped with sensors to periodically disconnect the device from the network.
It is worth noting that the type of engine does not affect the performance of the device. Whether a gasoline or diesel engine is installed on the UAZ, the device is installed in the same way. Here the difference is not as great as matching the tire and wheel sizes for SUVs. With some skill and compliance with safety measures, it is not difficult to assemble an engine pre-heater with your own hands. To avoid unsuccessful experiments, consider the example of an original 220 V car heater.

UAZ "Hunter" with engine ZMZ-4091 (Installation kit No. 19)
Operation
INSTRUCTIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION
Prepare: tools – wrenches; screwdriver (for tightening clamps); sealant type "Avtosil" (for sealing threaded connections); knife (for cutting hose); coolant (coolant) in the amount of 1 liter; container for draining coolant.
Preparing the heater for installation
Cut the rubber sleeve into lengths: output sleeve L2 = 290 mm; inlet sleeve L1 = 170 mm. Secure the bracket to the heater with studs using washers and nuts through the bushings (see Appendix PRM-0019, Fig. 1). Place the sleeves on the corresponding heater pipes and secure the connections with clamps.
Remove the battery, battery bracket (the three lower bolts are unscrewed from the interior). Unscrew the fastening of the expansion tank and move it towards the radiator. Remove the engine protection (mud flaps) on the right side. Drain the coolant from the engine block by unscrewing the plug on the left side of the block. Apply sealant to the threads of the plug and screw it into place.
Install the heater on the lower bolt of the right foot of the engine on the right side (under the oil filter), see Fig. 2 (the bolt is indicated by the arrow). The inlet and outlet pipes of the heater must be directed upwards.
Installation of the inlet sleeve tee
Note. The exact location of the hose cut can be determined by applying the hoses of the installed heater to the corresponding heater hoses. Cut the hose connecting the cabin heater and the car pump in the place indicated in Fig. 3 with callout B. The coolant remaining in the pump and the cabin heater will flow from the hose. Install a tee into the cut. Direct the side outlet downwards. Crimp the connections with clamps.
Installation of the outlet sleeve tee
Cut the hose supplying fluid to the interior heater from the engine block. Determine the location of the cut by the outlet sleeve. Indicated in Fig. 3 by callout B. Install the tee into the cut in the hose, direct the side outlet towards the heater and compress the connections with clamps.
Connection of the heater to the engine cooling system
Place the outlet hose with a clamp on the outlet of the tee of the hose supplying liquid to the interior heater, secure the connection with a clamp, Fig. 3, callout B. Place the inlet hose with a clamp on the outlet of the tee, Figure 3, callout B, secure all connections of the tee with clamps. Fill the cooling system. The arrows on the sleeves (Fig. 3) show the direction of liquid circulation during heater operation.
Fixing the network cable
The power cable should be laid and secured with straps to ensure its safety from mechanical damage, as well as to prevent possible contact with moving and heated parts of the engine.
Check connections for coolant leaks and repair if present. Install the removed parts (battery, expansion tank, protection, etc.). Start the engine for 3-5 minutes, and after stopping the engine, add coolant to the required level.
Checking the heater operation
Turn on the heater to a 220 V network (after a few seconds you will hear the noise of the heating coolant), check the heating of the outlet hose. After 3-5 minutes, turn off the heater.
ATTENTION! The heater can be operated only after the engine has warmed up to operating temperature (the thermostat must be open) and the efficiency of the interior heater has been checked. This must be done to eliminate air locks in the cooling system.

An autonomous heater is the most necessary thing in an expedition vehicle, I promise. Even for a car designed exclusively for hunting and fishing, it is highly desirable. All sorts of locks, trunks and power bumpers are secondary.
How often do you climb where you need blocking? How often does the volume of a shmurdyak require a roof rack? That's the same! But we have cool weather from August to June. Sometimes it’s colder, sometimes it’s warmer, but you always want to sleep in comfort, this is the key to a good mood and romantic impressions from a route of any difficulty category.
Installation of pre-heater on UAZ 3303
As usual, winter crept up unnoticed and it was urgently necessary to resolve the issue of installing a pre-heater on the UAZ 3303.
Let's look at the main steps for installing a heater on a UAZ 3303.
- Selecting a preheater
- Pre-heater installation location
- Installation of pre-heater
- Choosing an autonomous heater for a UAZ :)
Selecting a pre-heater for UAZ 3303
The Chinese Xin Ji (Longfei) (power 2 kW) with a pump was chosen as the engine heater. It should be noted that the pump significantly speeds up engine warming up. In addition, the pump eliminates overheating of individual engine elements due to uniform heating.
Device (photo from instructions)
Usually, heaters with a pump are simply plugged into the stove line.
You just need to take into account the direction of movement of the coolant so that when the engine is running, there is no backflow for the running pump. This is necessary in case you forget to turn off the heating and start the engine.
see the diagram of the movement of coolant in the UMZ 417 engine
As you can see from the picture, the coolant comes from the tap on the engine and goes to the pump.
Installation location of the pre-heater on UAZ 3303
For a very long time I could not decide on where to install the heater. Despite the fact that there is a lot of free space in the engine compartment of the UAZ))
The heater is embedded in the heater return hose
A suitable bolt behind the master cylinder is selected as the location for the heater.
Installation of pre-heater on UAZ 3303
With this installation you will not need an additional hose. Only two clamps are needed.
It is worth noting that a heater with a pump warms up the engine much faster compared to a conventional boiler (a conventional heater is in my wife’s Toyota car, I’m now thinking of changing it to a heater with a pump too).
The issue price is 1000 rubles. (took from Fortuna in Irkutsk)
Choosing an autonomous engine heater for a UAZ
For those who need an autonomous heater for a UAZ, they can use the hint in this photo.
The photo shows the interior of a UAZ Bukhanka car. The antifreeze is connected to the stove and circulates during the fire to warm up the engine.
Flow-through heater with pump - installation
In principle, with a pump, everything is simpler, because you don’t need to go into the laws of physics - the pump does its job, and very well, most often the pump costs about 700 liters per hour.
Errors when installing a flow-through heater
Parallel with the stove. Not a single flow-through heater has a check valve, so it is absolutely impossible to install it in parallel with the stove, because the liquid will circulate not through the radiator, but through the heater. If there are no other options, you need to install at least one tap either at the inlet or outlet of the heating.
The outlet pipe must be strictly at the top. That is, it must be unfolded so that the pipes are aligned along the vertical axis. This is necessary so that the pump can expel air, otherwise the heating element will burn out.
This point is rather advisory in nature. Do not turn the heater pump against the fluid circulation in the engine. This means that the heater installed in the return of the stove should push water into the pump, and not into the radiator. This is necessary so as not to accidentally start the engine with the heating running.
Can you imagine what will happen to the stove radiator or just the pipe if two pumps start pumping into it at the same time?
That's right, both of them will most likely be torn apart.
These are the simplest things that every car enthusiast should know. Subscribe to the channel to know. Well, give me a thumbs up, I will be pleased.
Types of heaters, features
The company offers a choice of a number of models with different designs and technical characteristics. In most cases, the devices are intended for use on domestic cars and trucks - VAZ, GAZ, UAZ, GAZelle, etc. But at the same time, installation of the Alliance heater is quite possible on foreign cars.
The catalog of preheaters from this company includes the following models:
"Alliance-2-PC"
The only tank-type model on the list, the design of which includes a pump that circulates coolant through the system while the heater is operating. Thanks to this, it ensures more uniform heating of the cylinder block. The equipment has a vertical design. The power of the heating element is 2 kW;
This model comes in two types - 1.5 and 2.0 kW. Externally, it is identical to the model with a pump, but this version does not have a pump. Liquid circulation – gravity;
"Alliance -07"
Horizontal flow-type model with perpendicular pins. Designed for installation on vehicles that use a shortened cooling system return pipe and an angled antifreeze supply to the thermostat housing (VAZ classic models and some front-wheel drive models). The power of the heating element is only 0.7 kW, so it is more suitable for maintaining temperature rather than heating coolant;
"Alliance-08" and "08 Universal"
Flow model with horizontal position of terminals. The first version is intended for installation on GAZ cars, while the second is universal and can be used on foreign cars. Heater power – 0.8 kW;
Horizontal tank-type model with perpendicular outlets and a power of 3 kW. This heater is designed for use with truck engines;
The type of device affects the principle of operation. If everything is clear with a tank heater equipped with a pump - when turned on, the pump provides circulation, then gravity-fed ones should be considered in more detail, since the scheme of its operation is quite interesting.
An example of a homemade heater
The operating principle of the heater is based on the free circulation of coolant in a closed circuit of the cooling system. A device for heating the liquid is built parallel to the radiators. Accelerated fluid circulation will be provided by an additional pump, where the natural speed of fluid movement will not be enough.
In order to make an electric engine heater on your own, you will need:
- A piece of pipe. At one end you will need a hole for installing a heating element. At different ends of the pipe, holes are prepared for installing fittings.
- Electric heating element. Power is selected taking into account the size of the engine and the capacity of the lubrication system - from 400W to 2kW.
- Two fittings taking into account the diameters of the cooling system pipes.
- A piece of cable and a plug for connecting the heating element to a 220V network.
The assembled structure requires installation at an angle. This will allow the antifreeze to move. Additionally, before installing the heater, ensure its thermal insulation.
When installing the Longfei heater, follow the recommendations
We connect it to the stove using hoses.
I’ll say right away that I am against loans and taking a car, especially not a new one, on credit is unreasonable. High-quality sealing of all joints is ensured by a set of gaskets and clamps.
The main chamber of the device is made of stainless steel, so it keeps the temperature high.
When installing the Longfei heater, follow the recommendations. Do not leave the Longfei turned on overnight. But you won’t have to warm it up at idle for a long time.
Do not turn on the engine heater if there is no coolant in the cooling system. It is precisely the preheating of the engine that is the task of the heater.
As a result of using cheap heating elements, high temperatures “kill” antifreeze, or rather its anti-corrosion, anti-foaming additives, etc. The bracket is attached to the heater boiler. Before you begin installation, consult with experienced people who have positive experience or look into the service of experts.
Known types of devices
A preheater operating from a V network consumes quite a lot of electricity, since the heating element installed inside the device has a fairly high power. It is located immediately above the tubular electric heater. In this way, the driver has the opportunity to take care of the environment. Installing a preheater with your own hands Installing a preheater with your own hands will not require a lot of time and any special knowledge.
They can be installed in any free space under the hood of the car. Most car owners have their cars idle overnight in the open air or in a regular garage, at best. You need to connect a longer piece to the input, and a shorter piece to the output.
