16.0 Identification numbers and information labels

What is a lambda probe?

Where is the car engine number: search and decoding
The Greek letter “lambda” in physics denotes the oxygen content. Therefore the oxygen sensor

on injection engines also called a lambda probe. These sensors began to be used on VAZ classics recently, when the VAZ 2107 model with an injection engine appeared on the assembly line.

In the engine injection system, the VAZ 2107 oxygen sensor (injector) monitors the oxygen content in the exhaust gas mixture. This was done to reduce the content of harmful carbon monoxide in the vehicle exhaust and ensure the optimal composition of the mixture supplied to the cylinders.

The sensor compares the oxygen content in the atmosphere and car exhaust. When the oxygen content is lower, the sensor produces a higher voltage and vice versa. The engine ECU operating algorithm is based on sensor readings and automatically changes the composition of the mixture entering the cylinders.

The VAZ 2107 injection engine control system is equipped with two types of Bosch lambda probes. The first one, without a heater, was installed until 2004, after which the plant switched to sensors with heaters.

VAZ engine number

The marking on the engine is applied to a special area of ​​the cylinder block. The labeling process is mechanized.

On engines produced before December 1974 (VAZ-2101, VAZ-2102, VAZ-2103), the marking area was located on the front upper end of the cylinder block.

Since the second half of 1975, the marking area on engines has been located on the tide of the block, to the left in the direction of travel, above the oil filter. On engines manufactured from December 1974 to July 1975, markings are found on both sites. Since July 1975, at the previous location of the engine number, only the engine technological number, consisting of three digital characters, has been applied.

Markings are applied to engines of all models, except the VAZ-2108, using an automatic German numbering machine, as well as a VAZ KVTs numbering machine. On the engines of VAZ-2108 cars, markings are applied with a numerator.

Rice. Engine numbers, made on a metal plate with a numerator: a) - ; b) — VAZ KVTs; V) - . The sizes of this font and stamp imprints are shown in the figures.

**A lubricated piston pin with acceptable wear should not fall out of the bosses if it is held vertically in the piston.

*** With acceptable wear, slipping of the pin under a load of 400 kgf is not allowed.

Number location

Let's figure out where to look to see the number with which the VAZ-2115 engine is provided. It can only be located in one place on the cylinder block, on the right, if you stand facing the car. Also located nearby:

• clutch housing;
• thermostat.

The number itself is stamped onto the unit using a special machine using a specific font. The mark is quite deep, and therefore can preserve readability throughout the entire life of the machine. However, over time it becomes quite dirty, and therefore it is recommended to clean the room from time to time.

Placing code on popular models

The most common cars in the Russian Federation are domestically produced cars. Below we will consider the placement of the engine number on both domestic and foreign cars.

VAZ 2101 – 2107

You can view the engine number on VAZ 2101-2107 cars on the left side of the cylinder block. The manufacturer does not equip the power plant with plates, but stamps the number directly on the body.

The area on which the manufacturer applies an individual code is located in the front part of the cylinder block near the front engine cover to the left of the fuel pump. Often the site becomes covered with dirt and corrosion. The site must be cleared before inspection.

Some motorists believe that the VAZ 2102 - 2107 engine number is located on the left side near the coolant temperature sensor. This opinion is wrong. The manufacturer indicates the serial number of the part near the temperature sensor.

VAZ 2110

The manufacturer of the VAZ 2110 stamps the code on the cylinder block body. The code area is located below the thermostat. This makes the viewing process more difficult.

To view you need to perform a number of actions:

1. Prepare a flashlight or other lighting device;
2. Remove the air filter housing;
3. Clean the area from dirt with a rag or wire brush;
4. After viewing, install the air filter housing in place.

Where is the Engine Number on VAZ 21099

Fuse box VAZ 2109 2108 21099 Most electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The engine motors (windshield wipers, rear window glass (VAZ-2108.2109), headlights, if installed) are protected by automatic reusable bimetallic fuses. The injection circuit of the injection system (engine 2111) is protected by a fuse-link from a wire with a residential section with a reduced cross-section (1 mm2). Battery charging circuit, ignition circuit (carburetor engines), engine starting, chain generator. ignition. assembly block" are not protected. Powerful consumers (starter, headlights, electric cooling fan, electric gasoline pump, etc.) are connected via a relay.

Where is the VAZ 2108-09-099 fuse box (carburetor, injector) located? The relay and fuse box are located under the hood, in the compartment in front of the windshield on the left side.

Where exactly is the engine number?

The VAZ model 2107 was supplied to the market with several power units. The first cars rolled off the assembly line with engines of the carburetor system, which also went to the Zhiguli 2103 model. Later they were replaced by units used on the VAZ-2105 and 2106. All of them had a volume of 1.3 liters. Moreover, in export versions more powerful engines were used - 1.7 liters.

Regardless of the engine type, its identifier must always be in one of three places. The digital sequence is applied using the impact method, a special machine and a special font.

The engine number of the 2107 model is most often found on the left side (in the direction of travel) of the cylinder block. For cars produced after 2000, you should look for it in the oil filter area, on the right.

If there is no identifier in any of the specified locations, then all that remains is to inspect the area of ​​the block adjacent to the air duct. There are no more options.

Searching for information on a surface contaminated with dust and grease is quite difficult. To make the task easier, first wipe the area with a cloth soaked in gasoline. It is recommended to carry out this procedure with special care before registering the vehicle with the State Traffic Inspectorate.

What engine numbers can tell us

By the engine number you can find out its year of manufacture, power, queue on the assembly line, etc.

VAZ

Until 1987, all VAZ engines contained a letter of the Latin alphabet indicating the year of manufacture of the engine, but after 1987 this engine marking had to be changed slightly.

The thing is that the Europeans persistently asked to remove the letters of the Latin alphabet from the designation of the car’s engine number. European colleagues deciphered this letter as a modification of the main engine. Thus, engines produced for export were without a letter designation.

After 1987, due to the fact that AvtoVAZ did not have a distinction between the domestic and foreign markets, it was decided to completely eliminate the letter designation; nevertheless, in small batches, “letter” engines were still produced for the domestic market. If letters are present on the engine, this does not mean that it is very old and was produced before 1987.

So, let's take a closer look at the letters in the engine:

What is a lambda probe?

The Greek letter "lambda" in physics represents the oxygen content. Therefore the oxygen sensor

on injection engines also called a lambda probe. These sensors began to be used on VAZ classics recently, when the VAZ 2107 model with an injection engine appeared on the assembly line.

In the engine injection system, the VAZ 2107 oxygen sensor (injector) monitors the oxygen content in the exhaust gas mixture. This was done to reduce the content of harmful carbon monoxide in the vehicle exhaust and ensure the optimal composition of the mixture supplied to the cylinders.

The VAZ 2107 injection engine control system is equipped with two types of Bosch lambda probes. The first one, without a heater, was installed until 2004, after which the plant switched to sensors with heaters.

Why know where the number is

The need to compare the engine identifier with what is indicated in the documents supplied with the car is obvious to anyone who purchases a vehicle second-hand. The coincidence of numbers gives reason to hope that the history of the car is at least not tarnished. Using a digital sequence, for example, it is easy to make sure that the VAZ is not mortgaged to the bank, actually belongs to the dealer and is not wanted as stolen.

It is also important to check whether the 2115th model number has been corrected or interrupted. In fact, it’s not particularly difficult to identify a fake; you can just see the mark through a magnifying glass. Scratches and emerging silhouettes of other numbers are far from its only sign. Replacement is also indicated by bulging of the line and traces of grinding or welding. If you encounter what is described, then refuse the deal and look for another option; this is guaranteed to free you from a huge amount of hassle in the future.

In addition, the VAZ-2115 number is biasedly studied by traffic inspectors during the process of registering a car or during a technical inspection. The identifier is inevitably compared with what is stored in the traffic police database. A discrepancy of one figure will not only make registration impossible, but will also become sufficient grounds for starting an investigation.

Owners who decide to sell their own VAZ model 2115 must also know where the power plant number is located and make every effort to maintain its readability. This will prevent the buyer from hesitating when faced with the impossibility of establishing the origin of the car.

What kind of engine can be installed on the “seven” instead of the standard one?

The driver begins to think about changing the engine when, for some reason, he is no longer satisfied with the operation of the standard equipment. In general, the 2107 model is excellent for various kinds of technical experiments and tuning, but the rational approach to choosing new equipment has not yet been canceled.

Therefore, before you even think about a new motor for your swallow, you need to weigh the pros and cons, namely:

• what goals need to be achieved when replacing a standard engine;
• are there technical capabilities to safely connect the motor;
• Is it possible to do the replacement yourself, etc.

Engines from other VAZ models

Naturally, engines from cars of the same family can be installed on the VAZ 2107i without significant modifications and loss of time. Experienced car enthusiasts advise taking a closer look at engines from:

• VAZ 2114;
• "Lada Niva";
• "Lada Priora".

These are more modern power units with an increased number of “horses”. In addition, the engine dimensions and connection connectors are almost identical to the standard equipment of the “Seven”.

Engines from foreign cars

Imported engines are rightfully considered more reliable and durable, so the idea of ​​installing a foreign-made engine in a VAZ 2107i often excites the minds of drivers. It must be said that this idea is quite feasible if we take Nissan and Fiat models from 1975–1990 as donors.

The thing is that Fiat became the prototype of the domestic Zhiguli, so structurally they have a lot in common. And Nissan is also technically similar to Fiat. Therefore, without significant modifications, you can install engines from these foreign cars on the VAZ 2107.

Nissan Silvia is an excellent donor for the VAZ 2107i, since the procedure for replacing engines is possible without the involvement of service station specialists

Rotary power units

On "sevens" rotary engines are not that uncommon. In fact, due to the specifics of their work, rotor mechanisms can significantly optimize the operation of the VAZ 2107i and give the car acceleration and power.

An economical rotary engine ideal for the 2107 is a modification of the RPD 413i. The 1.3-liter unit develops power up to 245 horsepower. The only thing the driver should know about in advance is the drawback of the RPD 413i - a service life of 75 thousand kilometers.

A very powerful rotary engine will make any “seven” fly

Today, the VAZ 2107i is no longer produced. At one time it was a good car at an affordable cost for living and working. The injection modification of the “Seven” is considered to be maximally adapted to Russian operating conditions; moreover, the car is easily amenable to various kinds of under-hood upgrades and alterations.

Where is the engine number located?

There are a large number of options for the location of the engine number. Since the place where to look for the engine number may be in a very hard-to-reach part of the part, it is better to first find out the exact location of the code.

Most often, numbers are knocked out in such places.

1. Near the cylinder block. This location is the most common and is found in approximately 30% of car models
2. On the belt cover.
3. On the bottom panel. Often found on American cars, including Ford. To view, you must use a mirror with a long handle.
4. On the air intake.
5. On the intake manifold.
6. On the eye of the engine suspension.

There is a lot of space on the engine, so some manufacturers put the engine number in the most unexpected nooks and crannies (dipstick for checking the oil level or radiator pipe for antifreeze). If you are not sure of a successful code search, then you need to look at the PTS, provided that it was issued before 2011. Since the engine gets dirty quite quickly, experienced car enthusiasts recommend keeping it constantly clean and washing it regularly.

Since the most common cars on Russian roads are domestic brands, it is necessary to consider in more detail how to find the engine number on VAZ cars of various models.

Although the vehicles are produced at the same plant, the location of the engine numbers is different for almost every model. If to view some numbers there is no need to dismantle parts, then to detect codes on other models it is necessary to remove the units or use a special mirror.

Where is the engine number on the VAZ-2107

In the VAZ-2107, the code is in an easily accessible place, so there is no need to dismantle any parts. The engine number can be found on the left side of the cylinder block. Another reference point in finding the code is the oil filter - the number is located almost next to it. To search for the code, it is better to first clean the motor of dirt and also wipe that area with a dry cloth.

Where is the engine number on the VAZ-2109

Models 2108, 2109 and 21099 have the same engine number arrangement. In order to see the code, you need to remove the air filter. If the code is needed to be checked against the passport, but there is no reason to rush, then it is better to do this simultaneously with replacing the part. The engine number is located next to the thermostat, which makes it easy to see after removing the air filter.

You may also be interested in detailed information about faults in the VAZ 2109 electrical circuit.

Where is the engine number on the Priora?

"Lada Priora" or VAZ-2172 is a very common car on domestic roads. The model is presented in two engine modifications:

• 8-valve;
• 16-valve.

Although the difference is quite significant, it did not affect the location of the code at all. The engine number is located on the cylinder block above the clutch housing. There are two ways to view the code:

1. Dismantling the unit. Removing the engine is a rather labor-intensive process that takes the car out of service for some time. The method is not very convenient, so it is used only when reinstalling motors.
2. Mirror. A special mirror allows you to see the required numbers without having to remove the part. MREO uses this method because it is more convenient.

To view the number, you must thoroughly clean the plane. If this is difficult to do with your hands, then you can use a brush with a small head, as well as a rag or sponge on the handle.

Technical characteristics of the “Seven” injection engine

In carburetor systems, the creation of a combustible mixture is carried out directly in the chambers of the carburetor itself. However, the essence of the operation of the injection engine on the VAZ 2107 comes down to a different approach to forming the fuel-air mixture. The injector sharply injects the fuel itself into the working cylinders of the engine. Therefore, such a system for creating and supplying fuel is also called a “distributed injection system.”

The injection model VAZ 2107 is equipped from the factory with a separate injection system with four injectors (one injector for each cylinder). The operation of the injectors is controlled by the ECU, which regulates the flow of fuel to the cylinders, obeying the requirements of the microcontroller.

The injection engine on the VAZ 2107 weighs 121 kilograms and has the following dimensions:

• height - 665 mm;
• length - 565 mm;
• width - 541 mm.

Injector ignition systems are considered more convenient and modern. For example, the VAZ 2107i has a number of important advantages over carburetor models:

1. High engine efficiency thanks to precise calculation of the amount of fuel injected.
2. Reduced fuel consumption.
3. Increased engine power.
4. Stability of idling, as all driving modes are controlled via the on-board computer.
5. No need for constant adjustment.
6. Environmentally friendly emissions.
7. Quieter engine operation thanks to the use of hydraulic compensators and hydraulic tensioners.
8. You can easily install cost-effective gas equipment on the “Seven” injection models.

However, injection models also have disadvantages:

1. Difficult access to a number of mechanisms under the hood.
2. High risk of catalytic converter damage on rough roads.
3. Capriciousness regarding fuel consumed.
4. The need to contact a car repair shop for any engine malfunctions.

Table: all 2107i engine characteristics

The VAZ 2107i power unit initially used AI-93 fuel. Today it is allowed to fill AI-92 and AI-95. Fuel consumption for injection models is lower than for carburetor models and is:

• 9.4 liters in the city;
• 6.9 liters on the highway;
• up to 9 liters in mixed driving mode.

What oil is used

High-quality maintenance of an injection engine begins with the choice of oil, which is recommended by the manufacturer itself. AvtoVAZ usually indicates in the operating documents of such manufacturers as Schell or Lukoil and oils of the following type:

Where is the VIN code written on a car?

The places where the body number is located on most modern foreign cars are as follows:

1. This is the upper left part of the dashboard, directly below the windshield. With this location of the VIN code, you can only see it from outside the car.
2. At the very bottom of the arch near the driver's seat. In this case, the identification number can be seen when the driver's door is open.
3. Under the driver's seat. To check it, you need to move the driver's seat as far as possible from the steering wheel and bend the carpet.
4. In other cases, the VIN code must be looked for under the hood.
5. You can find out the location of the identification number from the car's title or from its registration certificate.

Where is the VAZ body number and how to decipher it

The identification number of domestic VAZ cars is located directly under the hood on a plate near the engine compartment, if you are in the front passenger seat.

There are also seventeen symbols and they mean the following.

1. 1st character – geographical area.
2. 2nd – country.
3. 3rd – manufacturing plant.
4. The next 6 are the car model.
5. Latin symbol – code for the year of manufacture.
6. The last 7 digits indicate the body number.

Number under the intake manifold

Some car manufacturers mark a combination of symbols on the cylinder block below the intake manifold mounting point. It is impossible to view the code through the mirror, since it is closed from light, and the flashlight does not fit due to lack of free space.

Dismantling the collector requires a lot of time and skills in automotive repair. In this case, you need to shine the flashlight not on the number, but in the mirror. The reflection of the light from the lantern will illuminate the number and it will be clearly visible in the mirror.

From the above it follows that each car manufacturer independently determines the location for applying the identification number of the power unit. Code inspection may be required when registering and deregistering a vehicle.

VAZ 2109 | Identification numbers

Identification numbers

Improvement of products is a continuous process of any continuous production. At the same time, with the exception of cases of major changes in the design of models coming off the assembly line, the results of the modification process are not covered in the vehicle’s operating manual. However, the manufacturer draws up numbered lists of manufactured spare parts, which is why the information encoded in the vehicle identification numbers is of particular importance when purchasing the latter. When placing an order for the necessary spare part, try to provide the seller with as much information as possible about your car. Be sure to provide the model name, year of manufacture, as well as body and power unit numbers.

1. The chassis number is stamped on the front panel of the car body.
2. The engine number is stamped on the cylinder block.
3. The transmission number plate is attached to the top of the transmission housing.

Don't confuse the transmission number with the engine number.

VEHICLES WITH 5 DOOR HATCHBACK

There is no chassis number on the front cross member (above the radiator).

On some modifications of the car, the chassis and engine numbers are duplicated on a plate that is attached to the front panel of the body.

On other modifications of the car, a plate with the chassis number is located on the front cross member of the body (above the radiator).

Some vehicle options include a certification plate located on the rear end of the driver's door.

VEHICLES WITH 5 DOOR HATCHBACK

There is no certification plate on the end of the driver's door.

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

This extremely important number is stamped on the rear bulkhead of the engine compartment, as well as on a nameplate mounted on the instrument panel under the windshield on the driver's side of the car. The VIN is also entered into the vehicle title and registration certificate. The number contains information about the date/place of manufacture and body type of the car (see accompanying illustration).

Engine code and model year

The two main components of the VIN are the model year code and the assembly line/body/engine code.

Counting from left to right, the 4th, 5th and 6th positions of the number are assigned to the assembly/body/engine line code. Thus, Civic models are determined by the following combinations:

EJ6 = 3-door/D16Y7 EJ7 = 2-door/D16Y5 EJ8 = 4-door/D16Y8

Integra models are characterized by combinations:

DB7 = 4-door/B18B1 DB8 = 4-door/B18С1 DC2 = 3-door/В18С1, В18С5 DC4 = 3-door/В18В1

The tenth position of the VIN determines the year of manufacture of the model:

R = 1994 S = 1995 T = 1996 V = 1997 W = 1998

Engine number

The engine number, which is impossible to do without when ordering spare parts for the power unit, is located on the right (on the passenger side of the car) on the block, next to the exhaust manifold. The first five positions of the number determine the engine code. This manual covers models equipped with the following four engine types:

D16Y5 = 1.6 l, SOHC, 16-valve, VTEC-E D16Y7 = 1.6 l, SOHC, 16-valve D16Y7 = 1.6 l, SOHC, 16-valve, VTEC

В18В1 = 1.8 l, DOHC, 16-valve В18С1 = 1.8 l, SOHC, 16-valve, VTEC В18С5 = 1.8 l, DOHC, 16-valve, VTEC

Transmission number

This number is required when ordering spare parts for transmission line repair. On models equipped with a manual transmission, the transmission number is stamped on the clutch dome, next to the starter. On models with AT, the number is located on the right front of the transmission housing, near the dipstick. On models equipped with CVT, the number is located on a vertical platform, also near the dipstick.

Top sellers among crossovers

The following cars are considered the most economical SUVs and crossovers in terms of fuel consumption on the Russian market.

Kia Sportage – this crossover has long been popular among the local population; it has a fairly good ground clearance of 182 mm. The price is quite attractive, the price of the basic configuration starts from 1,200,000 rubles. Externally, the car looks quite impressive, its dimensions are compact, acceleration is fast, and the build quality is good.

Fuel consumption in the city for gasoline versions: 10.8-11.3 liters, for diesel ones - 7.8-9.2 liters. In the combined cycle: 7.8-8.5 liters of gasoline and 6.4-7.6 liters of diesel.

Suzuki Grand Vitara is also an economical crossover, which has been on the Russian market for a long time, and it has even sold well over the years, especially well, it sold when it was in the previous body, which was more square. And this new streamlined one no longer breaks sales records, but is still in demand. It is roomy, behaves confidently off-road, is generally reliable, and lasts a long time.

Practical, fuel consumption does not exceed 12 liters in the city and 9 in the combined cycle. Ground clearance – 200 mm. The power varies, it all depends on the configuration; there are engines with a power of 130 hp. s., and the most powerful – 230 – horsepower engine. The price for the most basic configuration with the most modest engine starts from 1,200,000 rubles.

Next, the Land Rover Freelander is considered an economical crossover; it is an English car, built with high quality, has off-road characteristics, the price is already higher than for the Vitara - 1,600,000 rubles for the basic configuration. Power varies from 150 to 240 hp. With. Ground clearance – 210 mm. There are diesel and gasoline engines, the consumption is as follows: gasoline consumes 13 liters in the city, 10 liters in the combined cycle, but 11 liters are consumed in diesel in the city, and 8.6 liters in the combined cycle.

Next comes the Chevrolet Niva, which does not look as good as previous cars, but its price is quite affordable - only 350,000 rubles. They say that the 2nd generation will appear soon, all sorts of shortcomings will be eliminated, but the price will increase to 500,000 rubles for a new car. The ground clearance here is 200 mm, fuel consumption in the 2nd generation will be around 13 liters per hundred in the city. In the first generation, fuel consumption in the urban cycle was 15 liters.

Next we will talk about the Japanese crossover Honda CR-V, which is considered very reliable and unpretentious. Power varies: 138 and 150 hp. With. The ground clearance is slightly less - 185 mm, consumes up to 12 liters in the city and 8.5 liters in the combined cycle. The price for the basic package starts from 1,118,000 rubles.

This also includes the following cars: Subaru Forester, which has long proven itself well, its price starts from 1,400,000 rubles, Mitsubishi Outlander, which can be purchased for 1,080,000 rubles and the popular Toyota RAV4, the basic equipment which costs only 1 000,000 rubles. For about 1,180,000 you can get a Mazda CX-5 and a Volkswagen Tiguan for 1,120,000 rubles.

Specific differences between the VAZ 2106 body

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

First, let’s look at the characteristic features of the “six” body:

• The sedan body is 4-door, welded load-bearing structure and all-metal;
• It consists of a central skeleton and attached components, such as the hood, lid, doors, and so on.

Note. The frame of the “six” body is made in a rigid spatial structure. In turn, it consists of several separate components.

• The doors of the VAZ 2106 also consist of separate elements. These are two sheets of steel connected to each other along the entire border. The card is fixed from inside the doors. Pistons are provided for its fastening.

Note. The locks on the doors of the “six” are rotor type. They are equipped with a blocker.

• The hood is connected to the car frame from the front (hung). Locking is carried out using a cable mechanism. The lid release handle is located in the interior;
• As for the trunk lid, its structure is similar to the hood. It is equipped with torsion bars that are fixed to the lid hinges, thereby facilitating opening and holding the element in the open position;
• The front seats of the “six” can be adjusted individually in terms of inclination and distance from the dashboard.

Particular attention should be paid to the dimensions of the body. The picture above shows the VAZ 2106 body length and other important parameters.

Possible problems with the body

As a rule, there are certain types of malfunctions that are characteristic of the “six” body. Let's take a closer look at them.

Knowing the weak points of the body will allow you to replace it in parts, updating only the failed elements, thereby keeping the cost of repairs low. As you know, the assembled body of a VAZ 2106 is always more expensive.

So, common body problems are related to doors:

• The lock on them breaks down, the button in it is damaged or it simply cannot be locked with a key. The door itself may not open if there are problems with the outside handle. The door may also not close well.

Note. In all cases above, repairs can be made. If that doesn't help, then the only option is replacement.

Other body problems:

• The hood lock deserves special attention. If it does not open with a handle from the interior or the hood itself does not lock, it will have to be repaired or replaced;
• Another danger for drivers of the “six”: moisture gets into the cabin. This is due to a violation of the tightness of the seals, clogging of the drainage holes or a collapse of the metal frame;
• Water or dirt can also constantly seep into the trunk if the lid is dislodged or deformed. There may also be problems with the seal;
• The body of the “six” can become covered with various stains over the entire surface if careful attention is not paid to proper care.

Note. For example, if you wash it with too hot water, dark spots will appear, but light spots on dark cars will indicate exposure to excessive moisture during long-term storage of your favorite “six” under an impenetrable casing.

• Finally, the most dangerous thing is the discovery of rust in some parts of the body in areas hidden from view, which is caused, as mentioned above, by many reasons. Washing and applying anticorrosive to these areas will help for a while, but you will still have to replace the body or its individual elements.

Decoding the number

By '87, the engine number was identified by seven characters. After the production of power plants exceeded 10,000,000, they began to be counted from scratch. To determine which period the engine number belongs to, look at the date the skeleton was created.

• D (A, B, C, F, H) equipment used;
• VAZ is the name of the creator;
• 07 01 86 skeleton release date;
• Switch marker N (K);
• 2108 frame modification.

Engine modification and number:

By the age of 82, the VAZ 2107 identification number had 11, 12, 14, 15 characters. Last numbers (7 pieces). This is the serial number of the product. Manufacturer and modification are encoded as the first characters. Pentagonal star value separator.

• VAZ 2107 0000002
• author's automatic product modification number in the order

From age 82, the identification number consists of seventeen characters enclosed in an asterisk.

For the first five years from the start of production of VAZ cars (1970-1975), the vehicle identification number was applied to the vertical wall of the air intake on the right in the direction of travel.

The identification number (VIN) on VAZ cars produced before 1982 consisted of 11, 12, 14 and 15 characters. The last seven numeric characters indicate the product serial number, and the first seven (eight) alphanumeric characters or four (five) numeric characters, respectively, indicate either the manufacturer and model of the vehicle or the vehicle model. Punctuation marks are made in the form of pentagonal stars.

2101 0000001 II III I am the manufacturer II car model III serial number of the product

Since 1982, the vehicle identification number consists of seventeen 10 mm high characters and is enclosed between two asterisks.

The distance between the usual punctuation centers is 106-107 mm, the height of the labels is 10 mm, the width of the labels is 4 mm, the distance between labels is 2 mm.

I number of the world manufacturer II car model III features that do not provide information (lack of value) IV year of manufacture of the car V serial number of the product

The case for spare parts is always made with its own number (seventeen characters), and marked body parts for spare parts. without a number.

Dimensions and specifications

Regardless of the configuration, the VAZ 2107 has the following dimensions:

– length – 4126,

– width – 1620,

- height - 1435.

- curb weight (how much is the weight of the car with equipment and materials) - 1030 kg,

- total weight (how much does a loaded car weigh with passengers and cargo) - 1430 kg

A motorist needs to know not only the standard parameters of his car, but also the control dimensions.

Control dimensions (points) are usually necessary when restoring a car after an accident. If you buy a used car, knowing these control dimensions, you can easily find out whether the car has been in an accident. This geometry will help in restoring the body, as well as other important parts.

The main control dimensions are described in detail in the diagram below:

The linear dimensions are clearly defined by the following diagram:

Decoding information

Let's find out what the letters and numbers embossed on the power unit itself, other parts of the VAZ-2115 and the information plate mean.

There are two lines on the engine. The first shows its type, and the bottom actually contains a seven-digit identifier.

The numbers on the information plate have different interpretations. The one stamped on the left, vertically, is used to indicate spare parts. Also outside the frame, but below, are 5 numbers. They report on the configuration options for the car.

In the center at the top there is the familiar abbreviation VAZ; it makes no sense to decipher it. Below it is the code of the certificate of conformity issued by Rosstandart.

Next, the VIN code is stamped large. In it, the first three positions are occupied by the letters XTA, this is the international designation of the Russian automaker. They are followed by 5 digits, the car model, for example, 21150. After it comes the year (for example, seven is 2007). Next are seven characters of the body number.

Below is the type of unit, and then there are:

• limit values ​​of loads on the front and rear axles;
• the mass of the vehicle itself;
• its total limit weight with the trailer.

Fuel consumption

• Fuel consumption in urban conditions is 9.4 liters per 100 km.
• On a flat road at cruising speed it will already be 6.9 liters per 100 km.
• In mixed mode, consumption will be from 8 to 9 liters per 100 km. Such figures do not allow us to call this engine economical, but in this case a lot depends on the driver himself.
• Another parameter that depends on the driver is oil consumption per 100 km. For the average driver of a car with this engine, it is 700 g per 100 km. This, of course, is not small, but with careful driving you can reduce this consumption down to 450-500 g/100 km.
• The weight of the 2103 engine when fully assembled is 121 kg.

Information tag

Apart from the papers for the car and the aforementioned stamp, all the information is also on a special iron plate that is attached to the body with rivets. It states:

• VAZ-2115 body identifier;
• year of issue;
• Business name;
• certain technical properties of the car.

When you open the hood, you will immediately see a rectangular tag. It is located on the back edge of the engine compartment, slightly to the left of center if you are facing the windshield.

Despite the fact that the described plate only duplicates the information, its safety is also important. Clean it often, remove rust and make sure it is securely fastened.

You can also find your VIN code at:

• right front axle shock absorber strut;
• in the trunk, on the bottom of the niche for the spare wheel.

Information plate

Separately, it is worth noting the information table that is located on the right on the front pillar. The table contains a duplicate engine and body number. In addition, information is included about the year in which the car was produced, the plant that produced it, etc. In fact, all that information that is a priori basic.

However, the fact that it only duplicates meanings does not detract from its importance. This means that her condition should also be good. If there are small areas of rust, you need to get rid of them; if there are small chips, which make access to information difficult, then, if possible, the plate needs to be replaced. Ideal condition - smooth surface without rust and the presence of rivets that fix it to the car body.
