Alternator belt Kalina 8 valves without air conditioning size

About the belt

In the Lada Kalina car, a poly-V belt is used as a drive for the generator and additional attachments. This belt is designed to ensure reliable contact of the rubber part of the belt with the crankshaft, generator and air conditioner pulleys. It should be noted that the length of the belt directly depends on the type of engine installed in the car, as well as on the presence of a tensioner or air conditioner.

In order to choose the right alternator belt for the Lada Kalina, you need to know the number of the engine installed on your car, as well as the presence of a tension pulley and air conditioning.

A total of 4 belt sizes are installed on Kalina, more about them below in the article.

Signs of need for replacement

Today, manufacturers are silent about the regulatory deadlines after which it is necessary to replace the alternator belt. Here you should be vigilant and acquire knowledge regarding some signs that allow the owner to understand the need for replacement.

These symptoms are identical for different types of engines used in LADA Kalina.

1. The appearance of a whistling effect when the engine is running, which is especially intensified when the electrical load on the generator set increases. When, after checking and tensioning, the indicated whistle does not disappear, then you can safely order a replacement for the belt.
2. The presence of cracks on the working, side and rear surfaces of the rubber product. This is explained by the aging of the material, and therefore, it can indicate that the resource of such a component is running out, and this is fraught with an unexpected impulse.
3. Belt deformation under the influence of external factors or in case of purchasing a counterfeit consumable.
4. An increase in noise associated with impact effects. This also indicates a violation of the integrity of the material structure of the belt, which suggests an early replacement. A lift is indispensable here!

Let us repeat, if the entire list of measures taken to tighten the belt does not lead to success and the presence of the indicated signs (or one of them) is present on the face, then there are no options for action other than replacement.

Belt sizes

In total, 4 sizes of belts were installed on Kalina. Let's take a closer look at each of the belts and choose the right size belt for which engine. Of course, one of the best options for selecting a belt would be to remove the old one and buy a new one based on the sample, but often with prolonged use, the inscriptions on the belt are erased and it becomes impossible to see its size.

Engine without air conditioner and tensioner

In such an engine, the belt only drives the generator, and tension occurs by the generator itself using a tension bolt. The size of this belt is 883mm.

Belts are installed at the factory and are famous for their reliability and durability. Factory belt number 6PK823.

Engine without air conditioning, but with tensioner

This motor comes with a belt size of 882mm. In such an internal combustion engine, the generator stands statically, and tension occurs using a special roller. The factory belt is a strap with article number 6PK822, and when replacing it, it can be replaced with an analogue from the Russian manufacturer BRT882.

Engine with air conditioning and tensioner

In such an internal combustion engine, the longest generator belt is installed, since this drive needs to rotate not only the generator, but also the air conditioner. The length of the belt is 1018 mm, and the factory supplier, as always, is “Gates”. Factory belt number 6PK1018.

VAZ 21127 engine with 16 valves and air conditioning

This engine is more massive due to the enlarged cylinder head, so places had to be cut out for the location of many parts. The belt size for such an engine is 995mm, and the article number is 6PK995, of course, as always.

Now you know all the alternator belts installed on the Lada Kalina.

Belts can be replaced with analogues, but a prerequisite is to maintain the length of the belt.

Replacement (8-valve unit)

The main question: how to change? After purchasing a new consumable component and preparing the necessary list of tools, we begin the process.

1. We turn off the 8 valve engine of the Lada Kalina and look under the hood.
2. We are looking for the location of the generator. We’ll give a hint to beginners: this unit is located on the right side, if you look at the car as it moves.
3. Now we “remove” the tension, for which we loosen the tightening torque of the screw on the adjusting rod of the tensioning device. Before this manipulation, we recommend checking the belt tension so that after installing the new component, you can ensure an approximately identical condition.
4. We arm ourselves with an “8” key and turn the threads of the adjusting rod to the full amount, which allows us to reduce the tension as much as possible.
5. Using a size 13 wrench, unscrew the lower fastening element.
6. Move the tensioner rod upward and remove the used generator belt from both pulleys.

As you can see, the dismantling operation on the 8-valve engine did not present any particular difficulties. Also, the installation procedure, performed in reverse order, is quite simple and quick. After the installation process, do not forget to check the tension level, whose correct “value” will eliminate the risk of the product jumping off when driving. Experts make a recommendation related to the need to re-check how the belt is tensioned. This is done after starting the Lada Kalina engine and running it for a short time.

Alternator belt Kalina 8 valves without air conditioning size

The 8v engine has a timing belt 19 (20) mm wide and has 111 teeth. The best, IMHO, belts are from GATES. It is advisable to change it complete with a roller, for example, VAZ-2108-099 GATES Timing Belt; ( belt+roller

Note.

I have added red text to this message and will do the same in others,

.

On 16v engines there is a timing belt 22 mm wide, having 137 semicircular

teeth The plant uses only GATES belts. Be sure to change complete with rollers, for example,

— timing belt 5631XS (137 teeth), — tension roller T43147, — intermediate roller T42150.

All this stuff is sold only with the Gates PowerGrip® Belt K015631XS

. Usually the price lists indicate the applicability of Priora. Don't let this confuse you. The belts and rollers on Kalina 16v 1.4 and 1.6 are the same. This is the only number you need to know when searching - K015631XS. Buying these parts separately, even if they are on sale “by weight”, in my opinion, makes no sense. Doubtful savings on rollers can lead to potentially very expensive repairs. From correspondence with the manufacturer (Gates) it was found out that only kits are supplied with certified spare parts; components are not sold “by weight” from the company.

Let's sum it up

We hope that our material will help many Lada Kalina owners who are faced with a problem and need to replace the alternator belt. We examined in detail the replacement options, both on 8-valve engines and on 16-valve units.

We recommend systematically monitoring the condition of this belt and replacing it in a timely manner; fortunately, it is not difficult, and now you know how to change the belt. Buy only high-quality products, and you will not be faced with sudden trouble on the road.

What is it needed for?

As mentioned above, any vehicle is equipped with such an important device as a generator. If it fails, the operation of the vehicle will be impossible. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the performance of all elements of the device, be it a Lada Kalina with a 16- or 8-cl. engine, with or without air conditioning. What is the component size? How is the roller strap adjusted and replaced? How to tighten up? You can find out the answers to these questions in the article.

Car Lada Kalina tuning

Before answering questions that interest Lad Kalin owners, you should understand why this component is needed. Not every motorist knows what role he plays in the functioning of the car.

In modern cars, this belt is the only element that allows you to transmit crankshaft rotation to the generator. When the crankshaft transmits rotation to the device pulley, energy appears in the vehicle's electrical network, thanks to which all electrical equipment operates.

Video “Replacing the belt on Lada Kalina”

The author Kalinin talks about the procedure for replacing the belt on his Kalina with a tensioner.

The generator plays one of the main functions in the operation of the engine, and a broken belt can sadly affect the operation of the car as a whole. Therefore, it is necessary to replace this element when it has not yet broken during movement. In the article you will learn why a Kalina 8 cl generator belt is needed, its size and how to replace the belt.

Belt and roller selection

Several types of belts are used on Lada Kalina cars.

The type of element depends on the engine model and its equipment:

1. The motor version without air conditioning and tensioner has a belt length of 823 mm. Gates (number 6PK823) is standardly used, but such a part is not supplied as spare parts. To replace it, a slightly different strap is used - Gates 6PK823SF.
2. The version of the unit with a belt tensioner, but without air conditioning is 882-884 mm. Standard part manufactured by Gates (article 6PK882). In addition to it, straps are often used - Finwhale BP6883, Dayco 6PK888 or the cheapest Balakovo belt BRT882.
3. Engine with air conditioning and belt tensioner (motor 11183) - 1018 mm. Standard element manufactured by Gates (number 6PK1018). Alternative options are Dayco 6PK1018 or Continental 6PK1015.
4. The 21127 16-valve engine with air conditioning and tensioner uses a 995 mm belt. The Gates part (6PK995) is supplied from the factory, and it is also used as a spare.

Sometimes when replacing a belt it becomes necessary to install a new tensioner. It is the same for all motors, its article number is 2123–1041056.

Replacement in 16-valve version

Such Lada Kalina engines are equipped with air conditioning, which makes the replacement procedure slightly different from that previously indicated for an 8-valve engine.

1. We remove the loosened and dismantled belt from the pulleys through the bottom of the engine compartment.
2. For this purpose, we release one of the engine mounts.
3. You will also need to lift the car and remove the right front wheel.
4. After these manipulations, we dismantle the fender liner on the corresponding side and the crankcase protection of the unit.
5. Now we remove the weakened support, after first lifting the engine sump with a jack (through a wooden or other gasket).
6. Then carefully lower the unit until it becomes possible to remove the belt.
7. We perform installation using the reverse algorithm.

When is it time to change?

On Lada Kalina cars, the manufacturer does not regulate the replacement of this part. However, its failure is a common problem. In particular, we are talking about Lada Kalina cars. This applies to both 16-cl and 8-cl engines.

This is what a deformed element of a Kalina generator with an 8-cyl internal combustion engine looks like

Therefore, let’s look at the signs that indicate that the belt may fail in the near future:

• Whistle when moving. As a rule, this whistle appears when the electrical appliances of the vehicle begin to load. For example, if you start the car, and when you press the gas, a loud whistle is heard from the engine compartment, this indicates that the belt is loose. In this case, it must be tightened using a tensioner or replaced.
• Cracks on the strap. If you open the hood, look at the belt and see cracks on it, then you know that it’s time to change the element. Neither tensioning nor adjusting the rollers will help here. The component can be tightened, but this will not be enough for a long time. The only option left is replacement.
• Deformation. As in the previous case, neither tightening the tensioner nor adjusting the rollers will give much effect. You just need to change the element.
• Noise when the engine is running. If the element has already served its service life, this can be understood by the noise that appears when the motor is running. For example, some Lad Kalin car owners report loud knocking and even impacts when the engine is running.

The assembly is disassembled: this is what the strap looks like on the shafts

If the vehicle is equipped with a generator sensor that determines its performance, then it will be easier to identify the malfunction. For example, if you heard a whistle from under the hood, and at this time the indicator on the sensor came on, then you need to pay attention to the strap. This indicates that the belt needs to be tightened, since it may be in a weak state or that its service life has been exhausted.

One way or another, if the slipping and whistling of the strap cannot be eliminated by adjusting the belt or rollers, it needs to be changed.

We diagnose the timing belt ourselves

If you decide to carry out diagnostics yourself, when disassembling the system you should pay attention to indicators indicating that the timing belt has failed.

• Check the condition of the teeth on the belt.
• After removing chemical contaminants such as oil or gasoline particles, inspect the cleaned section and check its tension properties.
• Pay attention to the presence of antifreeze on the belt. This chemical must not leak. Its presence can cause irreparable damage to the surface of the belt and render it unusable in a short period of time. If a leak is detected, it is recommended to immediately eliminate its cause.
• Inspect the belt for various chips, cracks, or areas of change in surface structure.
• Check the stretch value along the entire length.
• Determine wear and, if possible, replace the tensioner and rollers. Experts recommend that when changing the timing belt, you also replace components in order to ensure stable operation of the system.

If any of the described signs of timing belt failure are detected, the part must be replaced, this will extend the life of the remaining components of the mechanism. It is easy to calculate that the cost of a new battery, which may break, is several times higher than the price of a belt.

Car care and timely elimination of all problems will help to avoid emergency repairs due to a broken belt on the highway. Such a breakdown is especially unpleasant if you are outside the city, far from mechanics and car shops. Scrupulous and competent maintenance will help the car enthusiast avoid many troubles and operate the car for many years.

Soon, owners who purchased the domestic Lada Kalina model are faced with the question of replacing the belt that drives the on-board power generator. This is equally interesting to owners of both eight and 16-valve versions of the practical “Russian”. Due to the fact that Kalina motors are endowed with different design features, there are differences in replacing the specified consumable component. The service life of a belt is primarily influenced by factors such as the quality of the product itself and the intensity of use of the vehicle. And only after learning many details can you judge when the alternator belt needs to be replaced.

There are quite a lot of handwritten works on the network about replacing the generator assembly belt, but in our material we will try to explain as clearly as possible all the points that interest the owners. This will be clear even to inexperienced owners of their Lada Kalina, since the work will not require special equipment, expensive tools and “gigabytes” of experimental information. All actions can be carried out, as they say, “on your knees in the yard.”

Replacement cost

The cost of changing a belt on a Lada Kalina car depends on the type of engine, range of units and is:

• for a motor without a tensioner - from 300 rubles;
• engines with a tensioner without air conditioning - from 150 to 350 rubles;
• motors with tensioner and air conditioning - from 220 to 400 rubles;
• for unit 21127 - about 600 rubles.

Replacing the roller will require an additional 250 rubles. The total amount required by the car owner to purchase spare parts, in the maximum version, will not exceed 850 rubles.

Replacing the belt and generator roller on an 8-valve Lada Kalina is very easy and simple. A wide range of product choices will not suit every consumer's taste. Moreover, even analogues of original parts are of fairly high quality. Diagnosing faults is easy and can be done by any motorist.

How to change it yourself?

The complexity of replacing the alternator belt on Kalina does not depend on the number of valves or additional units on the engine.

Replacement on 8 valve engines without tensioner

Replacing the belt on such an engine is the simplest; the only tools you need are a 13 mm wrench and a short flat-blade screwdriver. Since the tension in such a drive scheme is quite strong, when changing it is necessary to use only a Gates 6PK823SF or Dayco 825 six-V belt with the additional marking POLY-V. The remaining straps are too rigid, quickly collapse and damage the bearing on the generator shaft.

Stages of work

To complete the task you need to do the following:

1. Unscrew the lower mounting bolt of the generator 2-3 turns.
2. Unscrew the nut of the upper fastening, use a screwdriver to push out the bolt and remove it completely.
3. Lower the generator down. The eye of the mechanism must pass through the gap between the radiator and the TV body.
4. Remove the old belt and replace it with a new one. If the strap does not fit easily onto the pulleys, you can carefully tighten it using a screwdriver.
5. Raise the generator up, ensuring the belt is tensioned.
6. Insert the upper mounting point bolt and tighten the nut.
7. Tighten the lower mounting point bolt.
8. Check the operation of the belt.

The repair process on such an engine is clearly shown in the video filmed by the author Ilgiz Magafurov.

Replacement on 8 valve engines with tensioner

Here, the procedure for installing a new alternator belt is very different from that presented above.

Required Tools

To replace the alternator belt yourself, you will need at least the following tools:

• regular or box wrench for 13, 17 and 19 mm nuts;
• a head with a ratchet for 8 mm nuts; if it is not available, an open-end or regular wrench of the same size will do;
• a screwdriver with a thin flat blade;
• thin needle;
• rags;
• white spirit or gasoline, approximately 0.5 liters;
• container and brush for washing;
• CV joint bearing lubricant.

Stages of work

To adjust the degree of belt tension on Kalina engines, a mechanical tensioner is used, in contrast to the timing drive, which uses a hydraulic tensioner. When changing an element, it is recommended to carry out preventive maintenance of the roller by adding fresh lubricant.

To complete the work you need to do the following:

1. Loosen the roller bolt. The thread on it is reversed.
2. Use a screwdriver to pry up the plastic plug on the roller and carefully remove it.
3. Unscrew the fixing nut on the tensioner rod a few turns.
4. Loosen the belt tension by rotating the rod nut clockwise. The nut must be unscrewed until the rod begins to move freely in the seat.
5. Unscrew the side bolt securing the rod end, located next to the tension roller.
6. Remove the tensioner and set it aside.
7. Proceed to dismantle the strap. The procedure must begin with the generator pulley, while overcoming the slight resistance of the belt.
8. Remove the element from the crankshaft pulley and remove it completely.
9. Unscrew the roller bolt and remove it.
10. Using a needle, carefully pry up and remove the protective caps on the bearing. Wash the bearing with white spirit or gasoline.
11. Refill with fresh grease and install protective rubber caps.
12. Assemble all the parts and mount the roller in place. When assembling, you must remember that the bushing is in the bearing on the side of the bracket.
13. Change the belt by installing it in the reverse order - from the crankshaft pulley to the generator pulley.
14. Install the tensioner and begin tightening the belt by turning the nut counterclockwise. The nut must be tightened until the resistance increases. A well-tensioned strap should be slightly pressed when pressed by hand.
15. Tighten the nut securing the tensioner rod.
16. Check the operation of the mechanism; if a whistle occurs, tighten the strap.

Lada Kalina from AvtoVAZLada Kalina The domestic auto industry continues to progress - AvtoVAZ presented a new generation Lada Kalina
. The model is equipped with a Jatco automatic transmission and an improved ventilation and heating system. Representatives of the plant claim that the new car has gotten rid of the problems associated with the electric power steering of the previous series.

This is all wonderful, but it was thanks to the first generation of the VAZ 1118 that repair techniques were developed that can be very useful to owners of new cars. Let's say the procedure for replacing the alternator serpentine belt on Kalina

absolutely the same for both models.

Specifics of the drive circuit on different modifications of Lada Kalina

The factory design provides for different lengths of standard gears, which depend on the configuration of the machine:

• without air conditioning – 882 mm;
• with air conditioning – 1018 mm.

The first VAZ 1118 models without air conditioning and a tension roller are equipped with a poly-V drive with a length of 823 mm

. Thus, with one belt from the crankshaft pulley, not only the alternator, but also the air conditioning compressor can be activated. The roller circuit allows you to adjust the tension.

Recommendations for choosing a belt drive

Regulations for periodic inspection and replacement of the alternator belt on Kalina

Many new owners of vehicles, either from prolonged joy or out of ignorance, remember the presence of a flexible connection under the hood only after the lamp on the dashboard lights up. The technical documentation of the vehicle indicates operational standards, after which the torque transmission elements must be removed and new ones installed:

• tensioner roller after 60,000 km;
• belt after 30,000 km.

Experts strongly recommend monthly scheduled maintenance of the rubber drive, consisting of simple external inspection steps. The part needs to be replaced if the following defects are detected

:

• cracks;
• abrasions;
• delamination;
• oiling;
• cuts.

A high-frequency whistle that appears when electrical consumers are turned on also indicates the need to replace the generator belt on Kalina or, at a minimum, to adjust its tension.

Repair technology for the auxiliary drive system

Sequencing

is similar for both models with and without air conditioning and consists of the following items:

1. Remove the engine protection.
2. Remove the right wheel and fender liner.
3. Remove the expansion tank.
4. Jack up the right side of the engine and unscrew the mount.
5. By tightening the tensioner mechanism pin, loosen the belt tension.
6. Remove the drive from the roller and then from all pulleys.
7. Install the new part and reassemble in reverse order.
8. Adjust the tension.

It is advisable to carry out work in an inspection pit in compliance with all safety measures. When changing the flexible connection, it is recommended to simultaneously install a new tensioner roller, but this depends on the desire of the owner and the condition of the unit.

Tension adjustment

After replacing the alternator belt on Kalina, making a rough adjustment and then starting the engine, it is necessary to more accurately adjust the drive tension

. To do this, we perform the following operations:

• loosen the tensioner rod locknut;
• turn the adjusting pin with a wrench to “8” until the result is achieved;
• tighten the locknut.

When gradually tightening the belt, you can use a simple canter scale, which you need to attach to the key at “8” and tighten the pin counterclockwise to a reading of 2 kg. A normal setting is considered when, with a force of 10 kgf, in the area between the generator and crankshaft pulleys, the deflection value will be within 8-10 mm.

More “advanced” owners have devices such as TsNT-Belt, the operation of which is based on the recognition of the known acoustic characteristics of drive devices.
