How to replace the resonator on a VAZ 2110

There is no need to worry; replacing a muffler on a VAZ 2110 is not at all a regular job that will have to be done systematically.

Replacing the exhaust system is performed in several situations:

The muffler begins to make a loud noise;
Muffler elements burn out;
Connecting pipes break.

The sound of a burnt out muffler.

On a VAZ 2110, you can replace the muffler with your own hands, which will allow you to significantly save on the services of a service station.

The exhaust system of the VAZ 2110 includes a downpipe (pants), a neutralizer, a resonator and a main muffler.

Replacing the muffler on a VAZ 2110

VAZ 2110 owners are quite lucky, since replacing the muffler is quite simple and does not require special skills or extensive experience. But you definitely need an inspection hole.

The replacement procedure sequence is as follows:

The muffler is connected to the resonator through an O-ring on the pipe flare. Plus, the connection is compressed with a clamp, which consists of two parts.
The clamp must be dismantled, so remove the ring. Since the O-rings used here are graphite, they should not stick to the metal.
Now the old muffler can be dismantled quite easily.
Be sure to check the condition of the suspension rubber bands located on different sides of the muffler body. They often end up stretched or covered with cracks. Rubber bands are quite cheap, so buy new ones and replace the old ones with them.
The new muffler is first mounted on rubber bands, after which it is inserted into the same new graphite sealing ring between the flares. Use a clamp to compress the connection. Ready!

Changing the resonator

It is also advisable to replace the resonator on a VAZ 2110. This is done after changing the muffler.

New resonator for VAZ 2110

The work of replacing the resonator is performed in the following sequence:

The resonator is secured to the muffler with a crimp clamp with an O-ring.
It is attached to the neutralizer using a floating flange consisting of two bolts and a flare.
On the opposite side of the element there is a so-called fist.
Removing bolts is often quite difficult. So that you don't have to suffer, just cut them off with a grinder and buy new bolts. This is the simplest solution to the problem.
If you couldn’t get a grinder, use a liquid key. This is a popular product among motorists - WD40 or its analogues. Treat the bolt attachment points with this compound, wait a while, after which the bolts should come off.
After removing the bolts, remove the muffler clamp.
Remove the resonator from the suspension rubber bands. Check the condition of the rubber bands. If they are worn out, replace them with new ones.
Take a new resonator, secure them to rubber and connect them to the muffler so that the pipe leading to the muffler from the resonator is parallel to the ground.
If you notice wear, burrs, or traces of rust on the neutralizer fist, be sure to coat the connection with sealant. Moreover, it must be a high-temperature sealant.
Armed with new bolts and nuts, tighten the catalytic converter and resonator flanges.
The neutralizer is fixed to the resonator with two bolts using a flange connection. The fastening occurs to the states, but there is a receiving pipe, using a spring-loaded connection and two flares. The space between them contains a sealing ring made of graphite or metal asbestos.

Signs of a malfunctioning muffler resonator

Any malfunction of the resonator can lead to a decrease in motor power and also affect the noise level. Most often, car enthusiasts encounter the following signs of deterioration in the performance of the additional muffler:

The volume of the exhaust system sound has increased.
A metallic rattling noise appeared in the place where the resonator was installed. The reason for this may be that one of the internal parts of the resonator has burned through.
Engine power began to drop. This is a consequence of the reduced capacity of the additional muffler.

If you notice one or more characteristic signs, repair or replace the resonator.

Replacing the neutralizer

As you can see, the exhaust system of the VAZ 2110 car is designed quite standardly, its repair is not difficult even for a motorist with little experience.

When changing the muffler and resonator, it is likely that you may need to replace the converter. This operation is simple and can be done in a few steps.

The neutralizer serves to dampen vibrations from the engine and prevent them from occurring in the exhaust system of the domestically produced VAZ 2110 car.

If it needs to be replaced, it is done like this:

If the old springs and bolts are intact and have no obvious damage, you can continue to use them. They show characteristic signs of wear, be sure to buy new elements.
The ring should be replaced in any case, no matter how well the old one is preserved. If gases begin to leak through the old ring, this will lead to very rapid wear and damage to the converter flare and the exhaust pipe.
After installing the neutralizer, new bolts are put on, they are carefully but firmly tightened. Moreover, the first thing you need to do is tighten the bolts that secure the resonator.

Problems with the resonator

Like any part, a car resonator periodically fails. After all, it passes through exhaust gases having a temperature of several hundred degrees Celsius. And in combination with the aggressive chemical elements contained in the escaping gas mixture, this leads to gradual burning of the metal parts of the system.

The main signs of resonator failure are:

Deterioration of the muffler and exhaust system . This is manifested by increased sound coming from the exhaust pipe, especially low frequency sounds (roar).
The appearance of exhaust gases from under the bottom of the car . This is a clear sign of depressurization of the resonator or other parts of the gas exhaust system.
The presence of a characteristic rattling metallic sound from the resonator . It appears due to the fact that one (or more) of the internal components of the device burns out. Usually in such cases he “hangs out” or breaks away and rumbles in one of the cells.
Significant drop in engine power . Due to a malfunction, the throughput of the resonator decreases significantly, so it dampens uneven pulsations of exhaust gases worse or not at all. And this gives feedback on the deterioration of the power unit.

If you encounter one or more of the above signs of a resonator malfunction, you need to inspect its operation as quickly as possible

How to check the catalyst?

Engine power depends on the condition of the catalyst. If there are characteristic symptoms of a breakdown, you should definitely check it. This can be done in light (by dismantling) and for back pressure or CO content without removing Read more

Replacing pants

Trousers

The exhaust pipe, also called pants (due to its appearance), is attached to the manifold using studs and nuts. Its fixation with the neutralizer is carried out by a spring-loaded connection.

Remove the exhaust pipe, paying special attention to its attachment to the manifold. Studs are used here, not bolts. They are screwed into the manifold, and connecting nuts are screwed onto them.
If the pin is damaged, it will be extremely difficult to replace it. Therefore, it is important to try to keep the old one intact and safe.
Treat the nuts with WD40, a product we all know. This will allow you to avoid using excessive force and keep the studs intact. If that doesn't work, the studs are drilled out. The process is complex, lengthy, and requires experience and skill.
There is a gasket between the manifold and the pants that needs to be replaced. Also install a new converter o-ring.
Now firmly press the exhaust pipe using the nuts. To do this you will need to compress the gasket.
Then tighten the bolts of the spring-loaded connection with the neutralizer of your VAZ 2110.

As you noticed, there is nothing complicated in this work. Each element is quite easily dismantled and a new one is installed in its place. Just be careful, act carefully and consistently. Plus, of course, do not forget about the importance of the quality of new parts. Buy only good spare parts that will ensure long-term and efficient service of the exhaust system on your VAZ 2110.

Installing a new exhaust pipe

All work is done in reverse order. But there are several features that you definitely need to know:

Install a new exhaust pipe.
A new gasket needs to be installed between the exhaust manifold and the pants.
Be sure to install a new O-ring between the neutralizer and the pants.
Tighten the nuts on the exhaust manifold studs. Tighten them evenly in a crisscross pattern.
Tighten the bolts that are on the spring-loaded connection to the converter.

This completes the repair of the exhaust system. The sound will be muffled as much as possible, the car will become almost silent. It is advisable to lubricate the new gasket with a CV joint type compound. This will improve the seal.

The operation of VAZ cars is often accompanied by various breakdowns and malfunctions of various parts and systems. The 2110 exhaust system is no exception, failures of which can be eliminated by replacing the muffler or other components.

VAZ 2110 REPLACING THE SILENCER ON YOUR OWN

Replacing a muffler for a VAZ 2110 or its parts is not work that needs to be done systematically. It is not necessary to change parts of the exhaust system often, in cases where the muffler begins to make noise, its elements burn out, or in the event of a break in the connecting pipes. You can change any part of the muffler with your own hands. The VAZ 2110 exhaust system consists of a reception pipe (another name for pants), a neutralizer, a resonator (additional muffler), and a main muffler.

How can I fix the problem?

So, the place of gas breakthrough through the muffler has been detected, you just need to make a decision about replacement or try to repair the unit. Often the holes in the body are small, and in this case it is not always advisable to buy a new muffler. It is necessary to remove the unit from the car and show it to a welding specialist, who will tell you whether it can be repaired.

The craftsman will cut out the rotten part of the body, shake out the remains of the burnt partitions from the inside and apply a patch of new metal. Fistulas that occur at the points where the pipe is connected to the body must also be eliminated by welding. The only caveat is that these repairs solve the problem only temporarily. Such a muffler will not serve for a long time, and it may perform its function poorly; due to the lack of partitions, the sound will break through.

If it is decided that the muffler needs to be replaced, then you need to select and purchase it. New elements are made of black or stainless steel, so the choice is limited. The latter last much longer than black ones, but their cost is higher. In addition, welding work in case of repair of a stainless steel body will be more expensive. When purchasing a new muffler, it is worth purchasing a new set of suspension rubber bands, as well as a graphite O-ring. It is installed at the junction of the resonator and muffler pipes.

I foresee a lot of negativity for talking about this work. But the work was done and I see no reason to hide it. Moreover, the customer was both pleased and satisfied with the quality of the work and the price. To begin with, a young man approached us with a request to install an exhaust system on a 2110 .His friends gave him such an original gift for his birthday. He may not need it, but since it was given, he needs to install it. The system consists of a manifold, a resonator, a bypass pipe above the rear beam and a muffler with a nozzle. Everything except the rear part is made of stainless steel.

old and new

At first glance, everything should be simple and predictable... we remove the standard system and install a new one. But this is only on the floor and outside the car. In fact, it turns out that the exhaust manifold mounting flange is thicker than the intake manifold. And since both of them are fixed with one nut on a stud , then it is almost impossible to press them without modification.

Adding to the complexity is the limited access through the non-removable spider of the new pipes. Poorly tightened manifolds not only leak air, but also prevent the engine from starting. Thus, our craftsmen had to modify the stainless steel mounting flange to the required size. After this titanic work on a limited budget, the entire remaining system was installed in 600 seconds. Strangely enough, the sound turned out to be quite pleasant and bassy.

Work such as replacing a muffler for a VAZ 2110 is carried out only when necessary, when an old part of the exhaust system fails. This occurs due to increased noise of the product, which is expressed in increased volume of the system (roaring, crackling or other noise), associated with burning out the walls of the part or receiving mechanical damage. A defect such as a break in the connecting pipe of a part also occurs, which requires immediate repair.

The work can be done with your own hands, because... no special skills are required to install and dismantle the waste gas exhaust system. The “tens” output system includes the following components:

intake manifold pipe (popularly called “pants” due to its external similarity);
neutralizer;
additional type muffler (so-called resonator);
main muffler;
intermediate elements.

HOW TO REPLACE THE SILENCER ON A VAZ 2110

We are changing the muffler of the VAZ 2110, the replacement is made in the inspection hole:

The muffler is connected to the resonator through an o-ring, which is installed in the pipe flare and compressed with a clamp that folds in two halves
We remove the clamp, then the ring, it is graphite and does not stick to the metal.

Attaching the muffler to the resonator

Removing the old muffler
We check the condition of the suspension rubber bands located on the sides of the muffler body. If they have cracks or are stretched, they should be replaced.

VAZ 2110 muffler suspension rubber band

We install a new muffler, first on the rubber bands, then insert a graphite ring (preferably a new one) between the flares and compress it with a clamp.

So we replaced the muffler on the VAZ 2110, replacing the resonator is the next step.

Installing a new muffler

The cost of these rubber bands is small, they are available in any store. Next you need to do the following:

Install the new main muffler onto the rubber hangers.
Insert a graphite O-ring between the pipe flares.
Place the clamp in place and tighten the nuts using 13mm wrenches.

At this point, the repair of the main muffler of the VAZ-2110 exhaust system (8 valves) is completed. Start the engine and check the muffler operation. There should be virtually no sound from the exhaust pipe. The motor will run clean and smooth.

RESONATOR REPLACEMENT

Resonator VAZ 2110

So:

The resonator is attached to the muffler using a crimp clamp with an O-ring;
It is attached to the neutralizer by means of a floating flange (two bolts) and flaring;
On the opposite side of the neutralizer there is a “fist”;
It is often problematic to unscrew the knuckle mounting bolts; they are simply cut off with a grinder and replaced with new ones;
If suddenly you don’t have a tool at hand, we clean the places where the bolts are attached and treat them with a “liquid wrench” (WD-40 or its equivalent);
Unscrew the bolts and remove the muffler clamp;
We remove the resonator from the suspension rubber bands, change the rubber bands if necessary;
Then we hook a new resonator onto rubber bands and attach it to the muffler so that the pipe running from the resonator to the muffler is parallel to the ground;
When there is wear on the neutralizer fist or there are burrs, grooves or rust on it, it is necessary to lubricate the connection with a special high-temperature sealant;
Using new bolts and nuts, tighten the flanges of the catalyst and resonator;
The neutralizer is attached to the resonator by means of a flange connection (two bolts), to the receiving pipe (pants) by means of a spring-loaded connection and a pair of flares, between which there is a graphite or metal-asbestos ring.

REPLACING THE CONVERTER

Attaching the neutralizer to the resonator

This connection dampens engine vibrations and prevents them from reaching the exhaust system.

Attaching the converter to the exhaust pipe (pants)

When replacing the neutralizer, we leave the old springs and bolts, provided they are intact.
We definitely need to change the ring - gases escaping through it will quickly damage the flaring of the exhaust pipe and the converter
Having installed the neutralizer, we tighten the mounting bolts, then tighten them, first tighten the bolts securing the resonator.

You can also watch the video.

CHANGING PANTS

So:

The receiving pipe (pants) is attached to the manifold by means of studs with nuts, and to the converter by means of a spring-loaded connection
When removing the exhaust pipe, we pay special attention to attaching it to the manifold. Instead of bolts, there are studs screwed into the manifold, with nuts screwed onto them. Replacing a damaged stud is not easy, so it is very important to preserve them

Nuts securing the pants to the manifold

The nuts should be sprayed with WD-40 so as not to use excessive force, and save the studs;
Otherwise, you will have to drill out the stud if it breaks; this requires experience and considerable effort;
We replace the gaskets between the pants and the manifold. We also install a new o-ring for the neutralizer;
Then we firmly press the exhaust pipe using nuts to the manifold (squeezing the gasket);
Tighten the bolts of the spring-loaded joint with the neutralizer.

Now replacing the muffler on a VAZ 2110 yourself is not a problem for you. If anything in our article remains unclear to you, watch the VAZ 2110 muffler replacement video.

REPAIR OF EXHAUST SYSTEM PARTS

So:

It is possible to weld parts of the exhaust system only if they have been damaged as a result of mechanical impact
In the event that a pipe breaks, or a weld seam or tank burns out, you need to replace the entire element, it has already become unusable
The only part to which this does not apply are metal expansion joints. They change regardless of the exhaust system itself
The cost of the neutralizer in comparison with other elements of the system is decent. Therefore, many people change it to a stronger (flame arrester)
The neutralizer is cut off, leaving only the connecting flanges, as well as a fist with flaring, and a flame arrester is welded in
The cost of a flame arrester is much lower than a neutralizer. However, there is no afterburning of fuel residues. Therefore, its installation is permissible on cars with one lambda sensor. In addition, the flame arrester increases fuel consumption by about 10-15%.

Car owners often encounter the problem of fluid leaking from the cooling system. Often the reason lies in rusted or squeezed out plugs in the engine cylinder block. To fix the problem, just replace them with new ones.

Plug locations

So:

There are plugs on the sides and ends of the cylinder block that are squeezed out of the block when the coolant freezes in it.
Two plugs with a diameter of 34 mm are located on the cylinder block on the side of the coolant drain plug, and two more on the oil filter side
There is another plug with a diameter of 17 millimeters on the rear end side of the crankcase
The last plug with a diameter of 34 mm is located at the front end of the cylinder block

These plugs are changed if the coolant in the cylinder block is frozen. The plugs can be changed without removing the engine. On a VAZ 2110, replacing the cylinder block plugs is done using a special tool. To do this you will need:

beard or chisel
hammer
pliers
durable screwdriver
telescopic magnetic pointer (purchased at any automotive store)
new plug
sealant
skin

Replacing plugs for a VAZ 2110 engine block

Remove the negative terminal from the battery
Drain the antifreeze from the cylinder block and radiator
Remove the air filter along with the hose
We disconnect the exhaust pipe together with the bracket and lower it down a little so that the flange is removed from the manifold studs
Turn the movable sector of the throttle valve drive all the way and disconnect the throttle valve drive rod
We unscrew the bolts securing the throttle valve drive bracket. We move the bracket without disconnecting the rod to the side so that it does not interfere with us.
Remove the belt protective cover and cylinder head cover
We unscrew the nut securing the tension roller and remove the roller along with the axle and a special spacer ring, then remove the timing belt from the camshaft roller
We unscrew the bolt securing the pulley and remove the pulley along with the key.
Unscrew the nut securing the timing belt to the block head itself
If necessary, unscrew the bolts securing the head and remove the block head.

Now that we have access to the plugs, we begin replacing the plug of the VAZ 2110 engine block.

We take a beard or chisel in one hand, and a hammer in the other
Place the chisel on the edge of the plug
Gently tap the hammer on the striking part of the chisel. The plug turns (Photo below)

We tap with a hammer on the striking part of the chisel, the plug rotates

We pry it up and pull it out using pliers
If the plug does not turn, drill a small hole in it, screw a knob into it and remove the plug.
We use a telescopic pointer with a magnet if it is necessary to remove a plug that has fallen inside. We pull the failed plug to its hole and remove it with pliers
Clean the edges of the plug hole from rust using sandpaper
To increase the tightness, coat the edges of the installed plug with sealant
Attach the plug to the hole
We press it in using a suitable mandrel and a hammer.

Press in the plug using a mandrel and a hammer

Reinstalling the block head
Fill the cooling system with antifreeze (antifreeze) or water
Connect the negative terminal to the battery.
Checking the engine operation

Mufflers for VAZ 2110 cars

The information contained in the operating manuals or electronic catalogs about the structure of the exhaust system of tenth-generation VAZ cars does not always correspond to reality, which causes some disagreement among car enthusiasts. The selection for cars is carried out on the basis of a specific body type: for example, in the case of front-wheel drive cars in a hatchback body, the muffler is much shorter than in models with sedan and station wagon bodies. The difference in length is explained by the length of the car body.

The parts installed on the tenth family are divided into two body types:

Station wagon and sedan - VAZ 2110 and VAZ 2111;
Hatchback - VAZ 2112.

Mufflers for VAZ 2110/2112 cars are classified according to body type

Classification is also carried out according to old and new models. The main difference from similar parts on the Lada Samara is that for the tenth family, subcategories play a significant role. The muffler mounts of older models are made in the form of a hook: they were produced until 2007, and then the mounts were converted to pins.

Mufflers of old and new models differ in the type of fastenings

Design

The main task of the muffler is to reduce the noise level while the car is moving and the engine is idling. The resonator, or additional muffler of the car, is an element located in the middle of the exhaust system. Its design consists of the following parts:

frame;
throttle;
block;
thermal insulation;
perforated pipe.

Design of the exhaust system of tenth generation VAZ cars

The structure of the part itself is as follows:

frame;
middle obstacle;
rear barrier;
rear perforated pipe;
middle perforated pipe;
exhaust and inlet pipes.

The structure of the VAZ 2110 muffler and the direction of movement of exhaust gases in the system

The perforated tube is the main component of the direct-flow muffler design. Combustion products entering it effectively expand in its body due to perforation. This operating scheme allows you to speed up the process of removing combustion products several times. Installing such a muffler increases the level of exhaust system resistance by up to 10%, which is significantly higher than without its use.

Removing and installing the resonator

Many car enthusiasts are interested in a logical question: how to remove the resonator? The answer to this question will vary depending on the brand of car. However, in general the algorithm is simple and will be something like this:

it is necessary to disconnect the resonator pipes at the points of their connection with the exhaust system (front on the engine or catalyst side, rear on the muffler side);
we remove the resonator from its suspensions, with the help of which it is attached to the bottom of the car;
disassemble the resonator with its tubes.

How to replace a Renault Logan resonator

Installing a new device is carried out in reverse order. When removing the resonator, it is important not to damage the O-rings that connect the resonator tubes to the rest of the exhaust system.

As an example, we present to your attention two video instructions demonstrating the replacement of the resonator on the famous Renault Logan and front-wheel drive VAZ 2110, VAZ 2111, VAZ 2112, VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115, Kalina, Priore, Granta cars.”

Finally

Partial or complete failure of the car exhaust system resonator is not critical. Diagnosing resonator failure is easy even for an inexperienced car owner. This is indicated by loss of power, diffusion of exhaust gases under the floor and/or into the passenger compartment, and increased background noise when the engine is running. Please note that in this case the car can be used, but it is still recommended not to delay repairs, since driving with a burnt-out resonator can lead to failure of other elements of the car’s exhaust system.

Hello everyone, I'll try a little today)

The desire to make a small discharge has long been ingrained in my head. But he didn't understand it. And just recently, my friend’s bank came to me, which had been idle in the garage for quite a long time.

This is such a bank. It stood on the drain of an old chord and, according to a friend, sounded interesting at the bottom and almost stopped playing at the top. I studied what kind of can it was, but it turned out that it was not a muffler at all, but a turbovag resonator)) My friend was no less surprised than I was, because with that exhaust he somehow felt good about the tuning studio)) in general, a circle of dirty tricks and scams ))

But still, it was decided to try to weld it) It took about an hour to do all the work; the original nozzle remained in place, but now protrudes a little. In my opinion, it looks very good.

The sound appeared, the car began to rumble on the bottom and disappeared after about 3.5 thousand revolutions. For 1.5 thousand, the ears ring a little, and this despite the fact that it is not loud at all. If I don’t like a trip with this configuration, I’ll do it again) and that’s it) I’m attaching a video with sound)

The exhaust systems of modern cars are becoming more sophisticated and sophisticated. This is due not only to the struggle for a clean environment, but also to the general trend towards reducing vehicle noise levels.

Exhaust system elements operate under difficult conditions. High temperatures combined with aggressive environmental influences have a significant destructive effect. Therefore, some parts of the exhaust system fail over time.

There is a wide variety of exhaust system parts available on the market today. There is a general trend towards unification and interchangeability of exhaust system spare parts. Manufacturers are increasingly moving away from the principle of manufacturing components for a specific car model, as this has proven to be impractical.

Today, many manufacturers strive to produce universal parts that require minor modifications to the exhaust section to install. This applies to components such as resonators and flame arresters. Unification of the production process has reduced the cost of spare parts. But for the consumer, the reduction in cost of the spare part itself is offset by the need to rework the exhaust section with welding and cutting work.
