Construction and repair 21124, 2112pdf57.35 MB
The 2111 engine available in the AvtoVAZ manufacturer’s line did not meet the Euro-3 environmental standards existing at that time. In general, the design satisfied the management of the manufacturer’s plant in terms of cost, and the users in terms of technical characteristics. Factory tuning made it possible to obtain a modification of the 21114 engine, different configurations of which comply with Euro-2, Euro-3 and Euro-4 standards.

Criteria for selecting VAZ 2111 oil
All oils are selected based on compliance with SAE, ACEA, API. In terms of composition, it is optimal to use semi-synthetics for used VAZs.
ACEA A3/B3-B4.
API SG, SH, SJ. The production of VAZ 2111 cars ended in 2009. Until 2014, they were produced by the Ukrainian automobile plant Bogdan, but in a slightly modified form under the Bogdan 2111 brand.
AvtoVAZ offers the following table to select the appropriate viscosity:
| Minimum engine cold start temperature, °C | Viscosity grade according to SAE J 300 | Maximum ambient temperature, °C |
| -35 | 0W-30 | 25 |
| -35 | 0W-40 | 30 |
| -30 | 5W-30 | 25 |
| -30 | 5W-40 | 35 |
| -25 | 10W-30 | 25 |
| -25 | 10W-40 | 35 |
| -20 | 15W-40 | 45 |
| -15 | 20W-40 | 45 |
But most often drivers fill in 10w-40, 5w-40.
The catalog can be trusted, the data is taken from car manufacturers. In this case, you can choose not only oil for the engine, but also for the gearbox, power steering, brake system, and cooling system. That is, all liquids.

Change of oil
And now you can proceed directly to changing the oil on the VAZ 2111.
Remember! The oil change is carried out on a warm engine. The most convenient way to do the work is on a viewing hole or overpass.
Drain
So:
- The engine guard, which comes from the factory, has a slot for draining the oil. If this is not available, the engine protection should be removed while changing the oil.
- So, let's take a container for oil. For containers, an old bucket or a cut-off 5-liter bottle, some kind of basin, or whatever is on hand and doesn’t mind will do.
- Using a 17 key, unscrew the drain plug, which is located in the engine sump, but not completely.
- We place a container for oil under the hole. We wear rubber gloves, as the oil can burn your hands.
- Unscrew the plug and drain the oil.
- When the oil has drained (about 5 minutes), you can screw the drain plug back in.
- Then wipe the area around the drain plug with a rag (rag) to make it easier to detect a possible leak.
This completes the oil drain.
Washing (if you decide to do so)
Engine flushing is not usually done. But:
- If the type of oil in the car engine changes (from mineral water to synthetic, from semi-synthetic to synthetic);
- If the car has been standing for a long time;
- If the oil has not been changed for a very long time.
In these cases, it is advisable to flush the engine. You need to use special flushing oil. Rinse according to instructions. This is usually done like this:
- Flushing oil is poured through the filler neck in the cylinder head cover.
- The engine starts for a few minutes.
- And then the flushing oil is drained in the same way.
Replacing the oil filter
After draining and washing, it is necessary to replace the oil filter, which is done as follows:
- To remove the old filter, you need to crawl under the car. If you manage to find a hole, it won’t be difficult.
- The oil filter on a VAZ 2111 is located at the rear of the engine opposite cylinder 1.
- The filter is quite easy to remove. There are several ways to remove it.
- The first way is by hand. The simplest one is to use rubber gloves (to prevent your hands from slipping) or use a rag to unscrew the filter and remove it.
- If that doesn't work, you can use a special filter puller. We use it to clamp the filter, tear it out of place, and then you can usually twist it by hand.
- If this option does not work, then you need to pierce the filter through with a long screwdriver and unscrew it.
- The seat for the oil filter must be cleaned of any remnants of the old rubber gasket.
- You need to pour a little oil into the new filter, and also lubricate the rubber O-ring with oil.
- After which the filter is screwed back on. The filter should only be screwed in by hand.
Now you can add fresh oil.
Filling oil
So:
- The filler plug in the head cover is unscrewed.
- For greater convenience, a watering can is inserted into the neck.
- Oil is poured.
- The oil level must be monitored during the filling process. Control is carried out using an oil dipstick. The oil level should be midway between the minimum and maximum marks.
- After reaching the required engine oil level, tighten the filler plug.

General information about engine oil and when to change it
"Gentleman's kit" for oil change
Before changing the oil yourself, let’s decide whether it’s worth changing it or whether it’s too early, what kind of oil is best to buy and whether to change the filter.
How can you tell when your engine oil needs to be changed?
As a responsible driver, you of course check your engine oil level regularly. If not, you will have to do this, since the suitability of the oil is determined by the oil dipstick. You need to remove the oil dipstick from the engine and look at the oil level. If the oil is dark in color - black or gray - then it needs to be changed. Normal fresh oil has a yellow, almost transparent color, so that it is barely visible on the dipstick after filling. It happens that the oil level quickly drops or rises sharply. What does this mean:
- If the oil level in the engine drops, this means that the piston rings are deteriorating and the engine is “consuming” oil. The piston engine needs repair.
- If there is more and more oil in the engine, you should pay attention to the smell of the oil. It may smell like gasoline. Another option is that there is more oil due to a damaged cooling jacket.
- In both cases, it is necessary to contact a service station for engine repair. The cost of repairs is high these days, but sooner is better than later.
What is the best engine oil to use for VAZ 2111?
There are few options - only three. These are mineral water, semi-synthetic and full synthetic. Now let's decide which oil is suitable for the VAZ 2111 car and for what purposes:
- Mineral motor oil. Let's say right away that it is not suitable for our car. Price is its only advantage over other oils. But its quality is absolutely unsuitable for such engines. If it is still permissible to pour it into the classics, then in a particular case it is better to abstain.
- Semi-synthetic motor oil. In principle, it is suitable for cars of the 2110 family. Semi-synthetics are widely used, since they are not very expensive and at the same time have good performance indicators. It protects engine parts well, lubricates and cools with a bang. The best option!
- Synthetic motor oil. There are several important points here. In general, there is no need to pour it into a VAZ 2111. Because it is not advisable to pour expensive oil into such an engine, especially if semi-synthetic oil does the job perfectly.
- On the other hand, if you are building a racing car from your VAZ 2111 or 2110, 2112 - it doesn’t matter, then synthetics will still be better. Racing cars operate at higher speeds and temperatures, and synthetic oil is the best choice for them.
If tuning - then synthetics
Advice! The most commonly used oil is 10w-40. This is in a temperate climate. If climatic conditions are changed, then it is best to select motor oil based on the freezing temperature.
Manufacturer – which one to choose? Domestic or foreign? It's up to everyone to decide for themselves. There is only one piece of advice - beware of too cheap oil - it can be, and most likely is, a fake.
Advice! It’s better to spend a little more and buy oil from a well-known company - domestic or foreign.
How often should you change your oil?
There is one clear answer to this question. The engine oil should be changed at intervals of 8-10 thousand km. If mineral oil is filled, it needs to be changed more often. If the car has been parked for a long time, then when you try to start and operate it, you should also change the oil in the engine and other components of the car.
Oil filter
Of course, changing the oil is carried out in conjunction with replacing the oil filter. It’s even logical to think about - you can’t mix the remains of old used oil with new oil. This will not make the oil much worse, but the filter may soon become unusable and will still have to be changed. And again - change the oil.
Conclusion. Be sure to buy an oil filter for your car when you get ready to change the engine oil.

“New” engines VAZ / 21124
Description and photo ©Aktuator
The new VAZ engine is most correctly called “a new modification of the engine.” It uses a new “high” thick-walled cylinder block (popularly called “Kalinovsky”) with additional stiffeners and painted blue. A new crankshaft was used, unified for 2111 and 2112 with a stroke of 75.6. If the belt breaks on this modification of the engine, according to the statement, with the piston. As practice has shown, this is not entirely true.
From October 10, all cars coming off the assembly line are 1.6 liter. with Bosch M7.9.7 ECM to Euro‑2 and Euro‑3 toxicity standards. 1.5 liter engines are produced only for spare parts.
Main differences 21124
• The motor is covered with a plastic cover mounted on rubber bushings. • Plastic receiver. • There is no ignition module - four Bosch coils are placed directly on the spark plugs. • Fuel supply line with quick-release connector. • There is no “return”; the fuel pump with a pressure regulator (3.8 atm) is located in the tank. • The fuel rail with fuel supply to the center has a fitting for a pressure gauge. • Timing belt cover without window for checking belt tension. • There is no oil level sensor in the crankcase. • DZ cable without adjusting nuts – with a steel bracket and grooves on the shell. • ECU M7.9.7 (there are different identifiers on the top and bottom covers), one made in Germany, the other in Russia. Firmware B105DP09. There are also Euro-3 options. Chiptuning of these systems is possible using the PAK Loader “Combiloader” with an additional module and the program - Chip Tuning Pro editor • Hoses with quick-release tips are suitable for the fine filter, as well as for the fuel rail. • The gas tank ventilation system has been simplified.

Where does the oil go on new engines?
Replacement
The oil pump is removed during repairs if the oil pressure in the lubrication system decreases and if oil leaks through the sealing gasket. So, in this article we will look at how to change the oil pump on VAZ 2110-2112 cars. To work, we will need all the tools necessary to remove the timing belt and engine oil sump, as well as a 10mm wrench.
Let's go in order:
- The first thing to do is remove the timing belt
- Next, drain the oil from the engine.
- After this, remove the crankshaft timing belt and its key. You can read about how to remove the crankshaft timing belt here.
- Remove the lower cover of the clutch housing: using a 10mm wrench, unscrew the 3 bolts securing the lower cover of the clutch housing and remove the cover (more details here)
- We remove the oil intake: using a 10mm wrench, you need to unscrew the 2 bolts with which the oil intake is attached to the main bearing cover, and one bolt securing the oil intake to the oil pump body, then you need to remove the oil intake, removing the tube from the oil pump channel.
- Clean the oil receiver mesh with white spirit. If the mesh is damaged or cannot be cleaned, it must be replaced with a new one.
- Now it's time to remove the oil pump itself. Using a 10mm socket wrench, unscrew the 6 bolts securing the pump to the cylinder block and remove the pump.
None Before installation, it is necessary to fill the oil pump cavity with grease in order to ensure oil suction from the crankcase when the engine is first started.
Tip: when replacing the oil pump, it is recommended to also replace the oil filter.

Engine (1.5 l., 8 valves)
At its core, the engine is a redesigned modification of the well-known 21083 unit, which appeared on the legendary G8. The processing affected, first of all, the food system. Instead of a carburetor system, the engine began to be equipped with an injection system. The design of the connecting rod and camshaft also received changes. All this made it possible to improve technical characteristics. Power and torque have increased. In addition, the engine began to comply with Euro-2 environmental standards.
Gas distribution mechanism with overhead camshaft and belt drive. Its nice feature is that if the valve belt breaks, it is not susceptible to damage.
Typical problems
Floating idle speed most often occurs due to malfunction of the following components:
- Idle air control;
- Throttle position sensor;
- Vacuum booster.
If the existing symptoms are supplemented by the fact that the engine stalls while driving, then you should also pay attention to the condition of the mass air flow sensor (MAF).
If the engine begins to run unevenly and “triple”, then first of all you should pay attention to the compression indicators. Noticeably lower compression in one of the cylinders most likely indicates a burnt out valve. If the spread is small or exists in several cylinders, then the valve clearances should be checked. There is a high probability that they require adjustment. A similar symptom may also indicate problems with the gasket between the cylinder head and the cylinder block. However, even if such symptoms are not observed, do not forget to regularly check the thermal clearances of the valves, as well as adjust them. The manufacturer recommends performing this check every 20 thousand km. If everything is fine with compression, but there are similar symptoms, you need to check the ignition module.
Often noises and knocks become companions of this motor. All of this can be caused by out-of-adjustment valves. If you experience an increasing loud, dull metallic sound when you press the gas pedal, the engine will most likely need to be repaired. There are several main reasons for this symptom:
- Knock of main bearings;
- Knock of connecting rod bearings;
- Knock of pistons.
The operating coolant temperature range for this unit is 95-103 degrees. However, there are often cases when the engine simply does not heat up to such levels. The main reason for this behavior of the motor is a malfunction of the thermostat. Some owners have to replace it almost on a regular basis. All this is a consequence of the low quality of spare parts.
Other common malfunctions of this engine
- Valve cover leaks;
- Wear of cooling system components;
- Failures of the injection system on old copies;
- Breaking off the fastenings of the exhaust exhaust pipe (can be treated by replacing the steel threaded connections with brass ones).
The engine is very common and deservedly popular among many car enthusiasts. Its simplicity, maintainability and good knowledge make it easy to cope with existing shortcomings and characteristic malfunctions.
The manufacturer officially declares a resource of 150 thousand km. However, practice shows that many specimens are nursed deep beyond 200 thousand km. A lot depends on operating conditions and attention to maintenance.

The VAZ 21114 engine is installed on VAZ 21101, 21112, 2113, 2114, Lada Kalina and Lada Granta.
Frequency of oil changes for VAZ 2110
The first oil change on a new car or on a car after a major overhaul should be done after 2000-3000 km, then every 10,000-15,000 km (depending on the oil used). I fill it with semi-synthetics and change it after 8000-10000 km, I immediately filled it with Mobil, but I didn’t like it, so I changed it to Catrol - the engine began to run smoother, but that’s not what I’m talking about now, I’ll talk about the choice of oil in another article.
To replace, you will need 3.5 liters of oil, so it is better to buy a 4 liter canister so that you have a little left for topping up.
The oil must be changed on a hot engine so that it is completely clear, so the engine must be warmed up well before changing the oil. I usually change it after a trip.
Advantages and disadvantages
Since the 21114 motor is already an improved version of the 2111, there are no obvious shortcomings here. The main “diseases” of internal combustion engines are:
- intense heating of the pistons - there are no special nozzles for oil cooling; they will appear only in later versions of the manufacturer;
- cylinder head – not suitable for other engines
Cylinder head 21114
The manufacturer recommends periodically monitoring the valve settings, since there are no hydraulic pushers in this internal combustion engine.
Cylinder block
Cylinder block 21114 is cast from high-strength cast iron. It has its own block with an increased height, but the mounting holes for attaching the block head are made with M12x1.25 mm thread.

If the engine overheats, first check the pump and thermostat, replacing them if necessary. |
| Characteristic oil leaks appear. | One of the problem areas of VAZ 21114 engines is the cylinder head gasket, from under which oil often oozes, and soon such a leak can assume alarming proportions. It is necessary to replace such a gasket, which will solve the existing problems. |
| The engine runs unevenly, and when accelerating, pronounced knocking noises appear in the engine. | This is typical for changed valve clearances. It is necessary to make appropriate adjustments, which will completely get rid of such unpleasant engine knocking. |
| Increased fuel consumption. | The reason for this increased fuel consumption may be a failed injector. They diagnose it and replace parts if necessary. |
Work progress:
- We drive the car onto an overpass or inspection hole.
- We install a prepared container for used oil under the engine.
- Unscrew the oil filler plug.
- Next, use a 17 key to unscrew the drain plug on the engine crankcase and completely drain the used oil.
- Unscrew the oil filter by hand or with a puller.
- Wipe the mating surface of the oil filter on the cylinder block with a clean rag.
Installing a new oil filter and adding new oil.
Before installing a new filter, it is recommended to fill it 2/3 full with oil. Next, apply clean engine oil to the rubber sealing ring on the filter and screw the filter into place.
Screw the filter in carefully so as not to damage the O-ring and only by hand.
Next, pour new engine oil through a watering can, monitoring the level using a dipstick (the oil should be in the middle between min and max), and tighten the filler cap.
We start the engine and carefully look at the dashboard; if everything was done correctly, the oil icon should go out a few seconds after starting.
Piston
The engine uses pistons from 2110 with deep recesses for the valves, which eliminates the possibility of the valves coming into contact with the piston if the timing belt breaks, i.e. the 21114 engine does not bend the valves.
| Parameter | Meaning |
| Diameter, mm | 82,0 |
| Compression height, mm | 37,9 |
| Volume of internal recess, ss | 11,8 |
| Weight, g | 340 |
The piston pin is steel, hollow, floating type. The outer diameter of the piston pin 21114 is 22 mm, the length of the pin is 60.5 mm.
Why is an oil pump needed?
The oil pump in the engine is designed to build up pressure in the oil system, for the necessary lubricating effect of all rubbing parts of the internal combustion engine. If the pressure in the system is insufficient, the lubrication effect will be ineffective, which in turn will lead to the engine being unsuitable for operation. In this case, the low oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel should light up. Therefore, you should not delay repairing the oil pump. You are left with two options. Take the car to a service station and lose a lot of time and money, or change the oil pump yourself.
Which cars were included in the package?
Traditionally, for the VAZ company, the 21114 engine was installed on the entire line of cars produced at the time of its inception:
- 21101 – four-door sedan;
- 21112 – five-door station wagon;
- 2113 – three-door hatchback;
- 2114 – five-door hatchback;
- 2115 – four-door sedan;
- Kalina (1st generation) – sedan, station wagon;
- Granta - sedan, liftback.
Improved engine characteristics significantly increased the service life of the “ten” and the Lada Samara-2 series.
Tuning
- The easiest way to increase the power of a VAZ 21114 engine is to install a new lightweight camshaft, split gear and adjust the valve timing accordingly. This allows you to get an engine power of about 90 horsepower. Among other things, the behavior of the power unit at high speeds is improved.
- Maximum performance can be achieved by replacing the exhaust manifold, modifying the cylinder head and installing lightweight valves. In this case, the engine will produce about 115 horsepower.
- Further tuning is possible only with the installation of a compressor and turbocharging. However, in this case, the life of the engine is significantly reduced, which may require major repairs literally after 50,000 kilometers.

Recommendations for choosing spare parts
So:
- The oil pump usually does not cause car owners much trouble, since it has a service life of at least 120 thousand kilometers. However, no one is immune from breakdowns
- If suddenly you still need to replace the oil pump on a VAZ 2112, it is better to take original spare parts and not save
- Among the well-known suppliers of parts for VAZ cars, the official one is the Tolyatti Automobile Assemblies Plant (TZA for short).
- It also produces oil pumps for the VAZ 2112
- This is one of four varieties of such units in the VAZ line, which fits all front-wheel drive fuel-injected cars
Helpful advice: To avoid serious consequences for the car and major engine repairs, it is important to monitor the indicators on the dashboard. If the oil pressure lamp flashes at idle speed, and replacing it does not solve the problem, the lamp lights up again - this means there is a breakdown
When the warning light suddenly comes on and the performance of your car’s engine is alarming, it is recommended to turn off the ignition and call a tow truck to a repair station. This will save money on subsequent engine repairs (continuing to drive the car under its own power in such a situation, you risk serious damage to the engine).
- Typically, removing the oil pump on any car occurs when disassembling the engine.
- Only if necessary, this work is carried out on the car without removing the engine from it.
- Before starting this procedure, first drive the car into the inspection hole.
- And immediately purchase everything you need to carry out a full replacement, as shown in Photo No. 2.
Designations in the photo:
- 1 - oil pump
- 2—pan gasket
- 3 - pump gasket
- 4 - sealing ring
- 5 - sensor mounting bracket
Attention: The pumps of the VAZ 2108-1011010 and 2111, 2112-1011010 engines are almost the same, with the exception of point No. 5 - the sensor mounting bracket is different, do not miss this point! Advice: It is recommended to install only a factory-produced gasket under the pump, since a non-standard gasket may have a thickness that does not meet the specifications and cause problems with the operation of the pump.
Maintenance intervals
The 21114 engine is not capricious in operation, but consumables must be replaced according to the schedule presented below, as required by the internal combustion engine design:
| Maintenance object | Time, months or mileage, km (whichever comes first) |
| Timing drive (belt) | replacement after 50,000 |
| Battery | 12/20000 |
| Valve clearance | 24/20000 |
| Crankcase ventilation | 24/20000 |
| Belts that drive attachments | 24/20000 |
| Fuel line and tank cap | 24/40000 |
| Engine oil | 12/10000 |
| Oil filter | 12/10000 |
| Air filter | 12 – 24/40000 |
| Fuel filter | 48/40000 |
| Heating/Cooling Hoses and Fittings | 24/40000 |
| Coolant | 24/40000 |
| Oxygen sensor | 100000 |
| Spark plug | 12 – 24/20000 |
| An exhaust manifold | 12 |
If the user has tuned the internal combustion engine, the frequency of replacing some consumables is reduced due to intense wear of friction pairs.
