VAZ 2107: technical specifications, review, reviews

VAZ 2107 was produced from March 1982 to April 2012. It has been produced in Egypt since 2006 to this day.

It has a 5-seater sedan-type body, in-line 4-cylinder gasoline engines, paired with a 4 or 5-speed manual transmission. It is included in the class of subcompact cars, according to the European classification - class “B”. And not C, as they say on the forums. C class is Ford Focus, KIA Ceed, etc. Wheel formula 4x2, rear wheel drive. The ancestor is the Italian Fiat 124.

Not bad, for example in the Opel Zafira, only 150 mm to the highest point. Load capacity - 400 kg Trunk volume - 385 liters Curb weight - 1060 kg Gross weight - 1460 kg Towed trailer weight, without brakes - 300 kg, with brakes - 600 kg.

History of creation

The new and how it ended up being the most prestigious car of the 80s, a rear-wheel drive sedan with the factory designation VAZ-2107, appeared on the Soviet market in 1982. By analogy with how the luxury version of the “troika” with the factory index VAZ-21031 became a separate model called the VAZ-2106, in the same way the VAZ-2107 was developed as a luxury version of the “five”.

As a result, compared to the basic “five,” the VAZ-2107 turned out to be more modern and was very popular. Like previous cars of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant, it was actively exported to various countries under the names Lada Nova, Lada Riva, Lada Signet, Lada 1500.

Starting from 2002, Ukraine began to assemble the “seven” into cars; it was to him that AvtoVAZ sold the license to produce the VAZ-2107 car. A year later, the production of VAZ-2107 cars was transferred from Togliatti to Syzran to the Rollada enterprise, from that moment on, the “seven” was assembled anywhere, but not in Tolyatti.

The last Russian car VAZ-2107 with the simple popular name “seven” rolled off the car assembly line in 2012 , which is not surprising because the design of the car has long been outdated. One could have put an end to this, but it was not to be, the “seven” was mass- produced in Egypt for another two years until the beginning of 2014 . Thus, we can say with confidence that the end of the “classic” era came in 2014 with the discontinuation of the VAZ-2107 car.

VAZ 2107 engines

The VAZ 2107 was equipped with several engines (for Russia and the USSR), these are:

• VAZ 2103 engine (8 class, 1500 cm3, 71 hp, carburetor)
• VAZ 2105 engine (8 class, 1300 cm3, 64 hp, carburetor, timing belt drive)
• VAZ 2106 engine (8 class, 1600 cm3, 79 hp, carburetor)
• VAZ 2104 engine (8 cells, 1500 cm5, 68 hp, central injection)
• VAZ 21067 engine (8 cells, 1600 cm3, 74 hp, distributed injection)
• RPD engine (rotary, 1300 cm3, 140 hp)

Piston diameter and stroke:

- for 1300 = 79 mm x 66 mm - for 1500 = 76 mm x 80 mm - for 1600 = 79 mm x 80 mm - for 1700 = 82 mm x 80 mm

Compression ratio for all engines - 8.5 Cylinder operating order: 1-3-4-2

For carburetor VAZ 2107, DAAZ 2107-1107010 carburetors and their modifications were used. A-92 gasoline is used as fuel.

The injector for Euro-3 standards is already designed for A-95 gasoline.

Spark plugs for VAZ 2107:

— for carburetor engines — A17DVR or A17DV-10; - for injector - A17DVRM.

Oil for VAZ 2107:

For all classic engines, the optimal choice is semi-synthetic 5W40. If your region has severe frosts, and most of the time it is below minus 30, then choose 0W40. If your frosts are not severe and the summer is hot, then the oil is better than 10W40.

Oil change is done once every 10,000 km

Machine weight characteristics

For its time, the VAZ 2107 was an excellent car that was successfully sold, including outside our country. The machine's technical characteristics were not inferior to its analogues at a lower price; the design scheme used is highly reliable. The weight of the equipped vehicle is just over a ton, which allows it to demonstrate good power capacity.

The maximum permissible load is 400 kg, in other words the car can carry five adult passengers. If the quantity is smaller, luggage can be transported in a special compartment. A rational distribution of masses between the axles ensures good stability and controllability of the vehicle.

The small dimensions of the VAZ 2107 model, optimal weight for its size and a powerful engine provide the car with good dynamics and maneuverability. The successful design and low price predetermined the car's commercial success and, despite its advanced age, it still does not lose popularity.

VAZ 2107 is a rear-wheel drive car of group II of the small class of the AvtoVAZ company, produced from 1982 to 2012.

The main task facing the designers was to reduce fuel consumption and the amount of exhaust gases, as well as improve the comfort and safety of the driver and passengers. In general, the task was completed successfully, since twenty years later the price of the outdated car did not drop in price, despite the fact that it lagged well behind its competitors.

General view

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". The exterior of the “Seven” generally copies other VAZ models, called “classics”

On the other hand, some parts and components of the frame are not the same. They simply will not fit the general exterior due to the fact that they differ in basic parameters

The exterior of the “Seven” generally copies other VAZ models, called “classics”. On the other hand, some parts and components of the frame are not the same. They simply will not fit the general exterior due to the fact that they differ in basic parameters.

Let's start with the front. This area of ​​the car includes these components: the hood, the apron with the front bumper (they are considered more decorative elements) and the fenders.

As for the middle part of the car, this includes the roof of the VAZ 2107, sills, and doors.

Finally, the rear of the car includes the fenders, boot lid and rear apron.

All main body elements are made of stamped steel, additional ones are made of plastic. If minor damage occurs, they can be easily straightened and, if necessary, replaced with new ones without much difficulty.

Comparatively, the “seven” looks more modern than other “classic” models. It is for this reason that the car remained on the production line, although the designers did not make any significant changes.

The car interior is equipped with 4 seats. The front seats are made in the form of an independent adjustable design. As for the rear ones, they have no adjustment. The interior lining is plastic, the roof is covered with leatherette.

The interior of the “Seven” is structurally excellently protected from frontal and rear impacts, but a side collision with another car can lead to catastrophic consequences.

Electrical equipment VAZ 2107

Wiring type: single-wire, negative on the car body (ground).

Battery: 6ST-55, capacity 55 Ah. Batteries with a capacity of 60 and 65 Amperes are also suitable, but you need to check the dimensions. Typically it is 242mm x 175mm x 192mm.

Operating voltage in the network: 13.6 -14.6 volts. The generator (G221) must deliver a current of no more than 1/10 of the battery capacity, i.e. approximately 2 to 5.5 Amps.

Ignition coil - B117 or B117-A (for carburetor engines) Starter - ST221

Lamp type:

— low and high beam lamp: H4 or AKP2-60+55 (in Russian) — side marker lamp and side turn signals: T4W or A12-4-1 — turn signal lamp in the headlight, fog lights, reverse and brake lights: P21W or A12-21-3 - license plate and interior lighting lamp: C5W or AC12-5-1

Luggage rack manufacturers

Gutter racks have been produced since USSR times. But due to the bowl-shaped shape and the small number of points of contact with the load, Soviet designs have sunk into oblivion. Although they can be found today as a rarity or an “unkillable” platform for transporting agricultural products.

A typical representative of that era is the BelAZ gutter rack, which is still produced in Belarus to this day. Options for four and six supports differ slightly in load capacity. The total figure is 50 kg. Dimensions 1.3x1.05x0.21 m. Cost 1,200 and 2,500 rubles depending on the number of supports. Consists of 4 single and 4 paired black metal tubes. They occupy transverse positions. Perforated silver plates are screwed to the ends as side edges. The trunk's potential is limited by design.

Luggage basket made by BelAZ

Currently, luggage devices are made of lightweight, durable alloys using an anti-corrosion coating.

• from Rostov-on-Don is popular for its universal designs, but does not shy away from mounting on gutters. The basic model consists of six parts:
  Paw. Part of the support from the roof side.
• Clamp. Second part of the support.
• Pipe crossbar. It is made of square steel profile.
• Plastic plug. Before threading the crossbar into the rack, the plug is removed from the crossbar.
• Wing with nut. Main fastener.
• Rubber backing. She puts it on her paw.

Load capacity 70 kg. Price from 450 to 900 rubles depending on the length of the crossbars. An excellent budget option, but at speed it shows poor aerodynamics - it is noisy.

• The Ant trunk is no different in appearance from the previous one. But the price of 1,750 rubles is explained by a 2-year warranty.
• The Russian aerodynamic trunk consists of wing-shaped crossbars 8 cm wide and 125 cm long. They can withstand loads of up to 75 kg. A T-shaped groove for connecting accessories and corrosion protection will cost 3,520 rubles. The VAZ-2107 is not a weak car and, having high-speed characteristics, will only improve them due to the aerodynamic cross members.

Luggage baskets are installed on the Semerka. They create the necessary volume for small-sized personal items. But boxes on 2107 are a rare phenomenon. If only this is a car that has undergone exterior tuning. Then the shape of the airbox is combined with the curves of the car.

Video about installing a roof rack on gutters

At the end, two main rules should be added for installing luggage accessories on the drains of a VAZ-2107:

1. Maintain alignment from the windshield and rear window.
2. Tighten bolted connections evenly.

And also take care of the roof and operate the trunk in accordance with the instructions.

Today, the next article in the series “Crystal VAZs or typical breakdowns of domestic cars” is dedicated to the “classics”: VAZ-2101, 2103, 2104, 2104, 2105, 2106 and 2107. These cars have been driving along our roads for decades and, despite Despite all the shortcomings that we will talk about, their popularity is still high.

Part two. Corrosion

Causes of corrosion and sources of its damage Corrosion is the process of self-destruction of a material in the process of interaction with the environment. In our case, metal corrosion occurs due to:

• Winter “urban” operation;
• Cheap body restyling, under which all kinds of dirt accumulates;
• Storing the car in damp, unventilated areas.

Places of the VAZ 2101 body most susceptible to corrosion

As the experience of most car owners shows, parts of the VAZ 2101 body that are most susceptible to corrosion are located in hard-to-reach places where moisture does not evaporate for a long time (gaps, bends, flanges), namely:

• wheel arches;
• hinged elements and places of their attachment (hood, trunk, doors, sills, fenders).

And if no measures are taken, then it can move to other, more significant power elements (spars, joints of the sub-engine frame, central pillars, etc.). Depending on the degree of surface destruction, it depends on how we will restore the damaged part.

Stage one

The oxidation process is in the initial stage (chips, scratches), only a slight color change has occurred. At this stage, you can get by with small losses - cleaning the surface with a fine abrasive wheel and then polishing the surface.

Stage two

Both the color of the paint changes and its swelling occurs, that is, the destruction process occurs evenly over the surface of the element.

Corrosion of the rear wheel arch of a VAZ 2101

This type of corrosion is not so terrible; it most often occurs due to poor preparation of the element for painting. It can be relatively easily cured by repeated stripping and subsequent filling with cold-set epoxy mastic. This type of mastic has high strength, sufficient adhesion, and is easy to apply to the damaged area. It contains plasticizers and hardeners, which increase the plasticity of the resin and its impact strength, as well as fillers that reduce the shrinkage of the resins and ensure that the coefficients of thermal expansion of the metal and the resins are brought closer together.

Stage three

In this case, the destruction process already goes deep into the metal (spots, cavities, holes), which requires deeper cleaning of the affected element followed by soldering (tinning) or replacement of the entire element or its individual parts.

Tinning the body of a VAZ 2101 with tin

By the way, if you heat the metal with a torch flame to a light red glow and at the same time it does not begin to crumble into gushing sparks, then it can still be used for welding. Well, when the VAZ 2101 body parts cannot be restored at all, I replace them with new ones using resistance welding and electric welding operating in a gas environment (semi-automatic). Most often, the front and rear fenders with panels require replacement. Methods for repairing and replacing these parts can be taken as basic; to do this, you just need to find out the location of the seams for joining the elements:

Welding seams of the front tail

Welding seams of the rear tail

Front and roof welds

Rear and roof welds

To obtain optimal rigidity of elements with minimal deformation, it is best to weld parts every 50 millimeters, using small ties of 20 millimeters. As you have already noticed, do-it-yourself body repair of a VAZ 2101 is a very labor-intensive and responsible process, the quality of which directly affects the safety and service life of the car.
