Replacing brake discs on VAZ 2113, VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115

Brake discs are certainly considered one of the important components of a car. They bear most of the load during operation. From time to time, VAZ 2114 brake discs need to be replaced, but, to be honest, the repair process is not that complicated and can be done with your own hands without specialized tools. Let's look at how to change brake discs on a VAZ 2114?

The video clearly shows the process of replacing brake discs on a VAZ 2114:

Self-diagnosis of the clutch disc

• Clutch not disengaging.
• Clutch slipping.
• The occurrence of vibration and extraneous sounds when the clutch is disengaged.
• The clutch pedal fails (does not return).

If the pedal does not return (falls through), the VAZ-2107 clutch cylinder may need to be replaced.

Replacing the clutch can be done in several ways. The first requires dismantling the power unit, the second requires removing the gearbox, which requires an inspection hole, a lift or an overpass. In the first case, it is necessary to use special equipment in the form of a lift. To remove the engine, you will also need to completely drain the coolant, disconnect the pipes from the radiator, and in the end you will spend a lot of time disassembling the parts. Therefore, it is advisable to use the second method, during which you can avoid all unnecessary operations. Let's look at how to replace a VAZ-2107 clutch step by step.

Removing the gearbox

After this, the starter is removed; as a rule, it is secured with three bolts. Before performing this task, you must disconnect the terminals from the battery. Finally, we dismantle the lever in the cabin, the cable on the speedometer and the brackets securing the exhaust pipe. After completing these operations, to dismantle the box itself, you need to unscrew the 4 bolts on the power unit casing.

Removing the disk

Installing the disc

We insert the new clutch disc in place of the old one. When installed correctly, the large protrusion should press against the release bearing. After making sure that the part is installed correctly, perform all the above operations in reverse order. You can use the gearbox input shaft as a guide. If you don’t have one, you can make one; it won’t take much of your time. The main rule is that the manufactured shaft can be easily pulled out by hand after installing the part. Finally, we screw the clutch basket, focusing on the previously made marks.

How to bleed and break in brakes

After replacing parts, bleed the system, even when the calipers were not removed. The easiest way to do the job is with two people; prepare everything you need in advance: fresh brake fluid, a cut-off plastic bottle and a piece of hose that should fit tightly onto the bleeder fitting. Sequencing:

1. Open the cap on the expansion tank and pour liquid to the very top. Start with the wheel furthest from the master cylinder.
2. Pour some brake fluid into the container, put one end of the hose on the fitting, and lower the other into the bottle.
3. The assistant must press the pedal vigorously several times and hold it in the lower position. Carefully unscrew the fitting by half a turn or a little more, watch how the liquid comes out into the container, and close it after a few seconds. Carry out the work until there are no air bubbles in the extruded composition.
4. Also bleed the remaining wheels. Monitor the level in the tank, top up if it falls below the mark.

After finishing the work, put on the rubber plugs and put the wheels in place. Make sure that the system is working properly by accelerating and pressing the pedal sharply. If the car pulls to the side, it means the pumping was done incorrectly, you need to repeat it again.

After replacing the pads and discs, the system must be run in. At first, do not press the pedal too sharply, do it smoothly and intermittently. After a run of 300 kilometers, accelerate on the highway and brake sharply several times, finally grinding in the parts. After that, drive as usual.

Replacing discs and pads with your own hands is not difficult if you follow the instructions for carrying out the work. Select quality replacement parts to ensure your brakes work properly and are safe. After replacement, be sure to bleed the brake system and run it for at least 300 kilometers.

Engine chip tuning

Despite the fact that the tag engine is not bad in principle, its characteristics can be improved a little with little expense. At least adjust it to your needs. It will not become economical like a Prius or powerful like the 200th Cruiser, but chip tuning will help reprogram the settings of the engine control system.

You can reflash the ECU in any way you like, but not all options are equally good. You can adjust the control program in the direction of economy, but to the detriment of dynamics, or vice versa. There are also ready-made firmware options that will change the ignition timing to switch the engine to 92 gasoline and lower.

Substitutes

The lists are presented for informational purposes. Before purchasing, be sure to consult with a specialist from a service center or auto store to determine the compatibility of the catalog article with the make/model of your car.

Purpose of the timing belt

An internal combustion engine is a complex system that consists of hundreds of parts and several more or less independent mechanisms. And the engine will only function normally if its mechanisms, assemblies and systems work in harmony. This quality - consistency of operation - is of decisive importance for the engine. For example, a certain position of the pistons corresponds to a strictly defined position of the valves, and if this condition is not met, the engine simply will not work.

Therefore, in internal combustion engines there is an urgent task of synchronizing and coordinating the operation of several systems. In modern engines, this problem is solved using several drives - a gas distribution mechanism drive, a generator, a water pump, an ignition distributor, a fuel pump, etc. But the most important thing is the timing drive, which is necessarily present in all types of engines.

• 1,050 rub.
• 350 rub.
• RUB 3,785
• RUB 1,190
• 415 rub.
• 300 rub.
• RUB 2,070
• RUB 3,350
• RUB 1,135

The engines of VAZ passenger cars initially used a timing drive, implemented using a metal chain that connected the crankshaft gear to the timing shaft gear and some other units. However, later VAZ designers abandoned the use of a chain, preferring a simpler, more reliable and modern solution - a rubber timing belt.

The timing belt in VAZ engines solves several problems at once:

• Transmission of torque from the engine crankshaft to the shaft (or shafts, if there are two) of the gas distribution mechanism;
• Transmission of torque to auxiliary units, primarily to the water pump of the engine cooling system;
• Ensuring synchronous operation of the crankshaft and timing gear;
• Preventing mismatch between the operation of the crankshaft and timing gear in all engine operating modes.

It should be noted that in VAZ cars the timing belt serves to drive the camshafts and water pump. This belt could, in principle, rotate the generator and other mechanisms, but VAZ designers abandoned this idea. Why? Because in this case, a broken belt or jamming of any of the units would immediately disable the entire engine, so it is more reliable and safer to make a separate drive for some units. And a breakdown of the water pump will not stop the engine immediately, so combining the drive of this unit with the timing drive does not pose a potential danger.

VAZ cars use several types of timing belts, which differ in characteristics and design.

Appearance

Appearance is the main component of tuning; it is the stylish appearance of the car that attracts a huge number of glances from onlookers.

Below is a list of all the improvements that should definitely be made in every fourteenth.

Tinted glass

Window tinting is a charming attribute of any car. It not only hides what is in the cabin, but also gives the car a stylish look and saves you from bright sun rays in the sultry heat.

Lip installation

Many automakers install a bumper cover on their cars, which not only gives a stylish look, but also protects against splashes that fall on the car’s windshield when driving in the rain. The lip on the VAZ 2114 is installed from this lip, which is made of rubber, which has a rather positive effect on its service life.

Lipspoiler

Some VAZ 2114 models already have a spoiler installed on the 5th door from the factory, but not many people want to see such a huge spoiler on their car. To replace the standard spoiler, you can install a lip spoiler, which has a small and neat size. By the way, to install it you do not need to drill holes in the trunk lid; this spoiler is easily attached with double-sided tape.

Alloy wheels

Wheels are 50% of the appearance of a car. A VAZ 2114 on beautiful large-radius alloy wheels will look simply wonderful and definitely attract a lot of attention on the roads.

On 2114 you can install wheels with a radius from R13 to R17 without any major modifications.

SE caps and mirror repeaters

Many owners of the fourteenth install mirrors from Priora with turn signals in them on their car, and instead of standard repeaters they put on the “SE” badge from the same Priora. This modification will add advantages to the appearance of the car.

Antishildik

As you can see on the roads, you can increasingly see VAZ cars, and not only others, without identification plates of the make and model of the car. No matter how strange it may seem, this modification takes place. After all, without the boring AvtoVAZ nameplates, the car actually looks more interesting and mysterious.

Brake pedal

The main control element of the VAZ 2101 braking system is the brake pedal, located in the cabin under the steering column between the clutch and accelerator pedals. The pedal transmits the muscular force from the driver's legs to the GTZ. If the brake pedal is adjusted correctly, the free play will be 4–6 cm. When you press it and travel the specified distance, the vehicle begins to smoothly slow down.

Free play of the brake pedal: 1 — master cylinder; 2 - pusher; 3 — brake pedal; 4 — brake light switch buffer; 5 — switch nut; 6 — brake light switch; 7 — pedal release spring

Car pump device

In case of many defects, the pump is replaced on a VAZ sixth model, a video about which can always be watched on the Internet. The “six” prefers to change the entire water pump, because Many car enthusiasts do not repair this component of the car cooling system due to its low price when purchased at a spare parts store. The price of a “six” water pump in various retail outlets is quite reasonable, varying from 600 to 700 rubles.

The liquid base (antifreeze) acts as a cooler for the power plant, which heats up during operation. But the cooler is moved using the so-called. “pump” (water pump), which with its impeller blades forces liquid to flow into the supplied pipes. When the “six” water pump is not working, the temperature of the engine begins to steadily increase, which can lead to its overheating, deformation of individual elements and subsequent breakdown. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the pump or repair it. What the water pump consists of can be seen when replacing the oil seal of the VAZ 2106 pump: it is a pump of a centrifugal operating principle, to which the rotational torque is transmitted from the crankshaft pulley of the vehicle’s engine unit. The part is located on the right side of the “engine” and is mounted with a paronite gasket. The product is cast from light aluminum alloys, the shaft of which is equipped with a double-row non-separable bearing without a cage. At one end of the shaft there is a blade impeller, at the other end there is a pulley hub.

An O-ring with the help of an oil seal forces the impeller to be in a state of readiness for operation. Under the action of the rotating impeller, the required pressure is created, with the help of which antifreeze is pumped into the cooling system and supplied to cool the power plant and other components of the vehicle.

All components of the water pump can be seen when replacing the pump seal, which is carried out during plumbing repairs. To find out whether the coolant is circulating in the heating system and whether the “six” pump is functioning, we perform the following simple steps: start and heat the engine to an operating temperature of 90 degrees Celsius and squeeze the upper pipe directed to the radiator with both hands. If the water pump is functioning, you will feel the circulation of antifreeze in the system.

Chassis

Improving the chassis of a car will not change its appearance in any way, but will significantly improve its dynamic properties and behavior on the road. It is divided into 2 types:

The first improves the driving characteristics of the car, allowing it to move quickly along city streets, the second reduces fuel consumption. The main systems subject to tuning are the engine and chassis.

Tuning the VAZ 2114 suspension includes both calibration of the entire system, wheel alignment of the car, and modernization of individual parts:

• replacing springs;
• shock absorber tuning;
• installation of anti-roll bar.

These details will increase driving comfort and also improve the car’s behavior on the road: the car will rock less and will not roll during sharp turns.

Tuning a VAZ 2113, 2114 or 2115 engine is a rather complicated, but feasible undertaking. To slightly increase the power of the machine you need:

• reflashing the control unit;
• increasing the cylinder diameter by boring.

To achieve a more significant effect, it is necessary to change the cylinder block that distributes the gas. Taken together, these changes are considered safe; they will help increase engine power by up to a third.

Among the more effective, but risky methods is installing a turbine and replacing the crankshaft with a new one, with an increased piston stroke. This will reduce the operating time of the car, but can lead to its rapid breakdown.

How to replace brake discs on a VAZ 2110-VAZ 2112?

Note! We recommend replacing brake discs in pairs, because when installing two new discs on both wheels, firstly, the car brakes normally and does not pull to the side, and secondly, they wear out evenly, thereby the effectiveness of the braking system is greatly reduced by replacing the disc only on the one hand, it will give practically no result if, on the other hand, the brake disc is worn out, but on the contrary, it will aggravate the situation, because during braking, the new disc will stop the wheel much faster than the old one, because of this the car will be pulled to the side constantly!

Removal: 1) To remove the brake disc, you will first need to remove the brake caliper (Indicated by the red arrow, how to remove it, read the article: “Replacing the brake caliper on a VAZ 2109”) and place it either on the lever as shown in the photo below, or hang it by a wire or a rope to a spring (This is much better, because the caliper can fall from the lever and the brake hose will break because of this), after which you just have to monitor the condition of the brake hose (Indicated by a blue arrow), it should not be too tight, and because of this it can also tear, due to which you will also have to change the hose and bleed the brake system, and this is already extra work and a waste of money (in this case you will need to buy brake fluid) and time.

2) When the caliper is removed, proceed to cleaning the old brake disc, it is cleaned with a metal brush and pay special attention to the place where the disc with the hub is attached (This place is indicated by a blue arrow), this place, in addition to cleaning, also contains penetrating lubricant Treat with WD-40, but don’t forget to remove the plastic cap with a screwdriver (It’s clearly visible in the photo, if you look at the blue arrow, you’d think it’s directed at it too) and when all operations are completed, unscrew the two guides studs (indicated by red arrows) securing the brake disc (while holding the disc turning) and then remove the worn disc from the car, pulling it towards you with your hands to do this

Checking the wear of discs and pads in the brake system

There are certain dimensions below which it is unacceptable to drive on existing brake units:

1. Brake disc thickness – 10.8 mm
2. Axial runout on the surface – 0.15 mm
3. Overlay on the block – 1.5 mm
4. Brake drum diameter – 201.5 mm

You cannot determine such dimensions by eye. Therefore, we jack up the fourteenth wheel, clean the entire unit from dirt, after removing the wheel, of course, and use a simple caliper to measure the thickness of the disc, pads and drum brake at the rear (if you have them). We compare all indicators with acceptable numbers.

Another important step is to check how the pads move: poke them with a screwdriver, if they move too hard, then they can clamp the disk, you need to change them, otherwise you will ruin them.

In general, it is good to remember the following parameters that require replacing the brake disc on a VAZ 2114:

1. Invalid thickness value (erased)
2. The pad linings are oily
3. There is a gap between the pads and the base
4. You hear a squeaking sound when you brake
5. Hit the brake pedal
6. If you have drum brakes at the rear, they can stick to the pads, which can lead to double replacement and expense.
7. The brake cylinders (front and rear) may become damaged - there is an option to revive them with a WD tool, but this will only temporarily delay the replacement

As soon as any of the above happens, the brake discs need to be replaced.

It also happens that all the main brake components have been changed, including the brake pads, but the situation has not changed for the better. Then look at the accompanying components and adjacent spare parts: hub bearing, front wheel arms (they are also called daisies). It is not necessary, but it is very advisable to do a wheel alignment.

Master brake cylinder

The GTZ of the VAZ “kopek” is a hydraulic type mechanism, consisting of two sections and designed to operate a system with two circuits.

The master cylinder creates fluid pressure throughout the entire brake system.

If problems arise with one of the circuits, the second, although not as effective, will ensure that the car stops. The GTZ is mounted to the pedal assembly bracket.

Design of the GTZ VAZ 2101: 1 - plug; 2 — cylinder body; 3 — rear brake drive piston; 4 — washer; 5 — front brake drive piston; 6 - sealing ring; 7 — locking screws; 8 — piston return springs; 9 — spring plate; 10 — pressure spring of the sealing ring; 11 — spacer ring; 12 — inlet; A - compensation hole (gaps between sealing ring 6, spacer ring 11 and piston 5)

Pistons 3 and 5 are responsible for the performance of different circuits. The initial position of the piston elements is ensured by springs 8, by means of which the pistons are pressed into screws 7. The hydraulic cylinder is sealed with the corresponding cuffs 6. In the front part of the housing is plugged with a plug 1.

The main problems with the GTZ are wear of the lip seals, the piston or the cylinder itself. If rubber products can be replaced with new ones from the repair kit, then if the cylinder or piston is damaged, the device will have to be completely replaced. Since the product is located under the hood near the clutch master cylinder, replacing it does not cause any difficulties.

Appearance tuning

Improvements in the form of a muffler attachment, new mudguards, and several body kit elements are a thing of the past. High-quality styling kits produced by many modern enterprises change the car beyond recognition.

Sets of two bumpers cost up to 4,500 rubles. But they do not freshen up the car as much as extended kits with a radiator grille and thresholds, the cost of which does not exceed 8 thousand rubles.

Chrome inserts for the bumper, eyelashes for the headlights, and rear spoiler increase the cost of styling kits. The price of some of them reaches 25 thousand rubles.

For a more impressive appearance, many car enthusiasts purchase a rear wing for 4,500 rubles. Additionally, they take a decorative hood made of plastic for 7,000 rubles. Air intakes are installed on the hood at a cost of approximately 1,500 rubles.

How to carry out the work

When replacing disc brakes, the sequence of work must be followed. This must be done on a level surface, preferably in a garage, and prepare a set of tools for fastening in advance; different models use different options - from ordinary bolts to screws with an internal hexagon or star. Step-by-step instruction:

1. Place chocks under those wheels that will not be removed to prevent the car from rolling.
2. Remove the mounting bolts or nuts on the wheel rim. Raise the car with a jack and remove the wheel. It is dangerous to put a stop and leave the car on a jack.
3. Unscrew the cap on the brake fluid reservoir. This will make it easier to press in the brake cylinder.
4. When there are fixing brackets, carefully remove them with a screwdriver. Then unscrew the caliper mount. Take a flat-head screwdriver and carefully press in the piston on the brake cylinder.
5. If you need to change the pads, the old ones are removed, the installation site is cleaned of dirt, and then new parts can be installed. Reassemble in reverse order.
6. When removing the disc, move the caliper to the side and hang it so as not to damage the hose. The bolts must be removed carefully; to do this, first block the hub in a stationary position.
7. Clean the installation site from debris and deposits. Replacing the brake disc is carried out in the reverse order. If there is a protective lubricant on it, remove it with a degreaser.

For your information! Carry out work no earlier than half an hour after the trip. All parts of the brake system must cool down.

When installing discs or replacing pads, inspect all elements and, if necessary, replace worn ones

Pay attention to the fasteners and brake hoses; if they are cracked, buy new ones. You can check the system in advance from the pit to stock up on everything you need in advance

Is it financially profitable?

When the owner of the car imagines how much work he has to do, willy-nilly he begins to calculate whether it makes sense to change the brake discs himself, or whether it is easier to take the car to a service station.

Depending on the manufacturer and the place where you purchase new brake discs, their price can range from 1 to 2 thousand rubles. Add to this minor expenses on consumables. Surely you have tools, a jack, and the same WD40 in your garage. That is, additional costs, in addition to the purchase of brake discs themselves, are minimal.

Now we invite you to familiarize yourself with the cost of services of professional service centers for the repair and replacement of various components of the brake system.

Malfunctions

Any driver experiences an unpleasant feeling when the clutch pedal sinks to the floor. This can happen if the clutch cable breaks; it is also possible that the release fork breaks (this case is discussed in another article). The cable breaks more often on older cars that are used in extreme conditions or all year round.

The cable may become frayed, which affects the smoothness of the pedal and the operation of the clutch. This cable also requires replacement.

If the clutch cable is broken, you can drive your car to the repair site. You need to start the car in first gear and shift while driving. The following situation is possible: the cable broke while the gear was engaged, and the car stalled.

There is a possibility that it will be difficult to engage the neutral position. Then your car won’t even be able to roll off the roadway. The transmission is disengaged by rocking the car forward and backward and disengaging the transmission at the same time. You can jack up one of the wheels and spin it by hand, this will also help.

Even if the cable is not replaced, gear shifting is possible. It is possible to get to the service station, but such driving has a negative impact on the service life of the gearbox.

The cost of the spare part is low, about 300 rubles. The cost of replacing a cable in a car service is 400 rubles.

Designer interior makeover

After modification, or rather complete replacement of sound insulation, work can be carried out to change the interior design. Such work can lead to various costs - it all depends on the final result. There are several ways to change the interior:

Use of new skin. The original material used to finish the car in question, roughly speaking, does not have attractive performance qualities. VAZ 2114 interior tuning with a complete replacement of the headliner, side panels and floor will be quite expensive, but you can try to find better quality panels from other cars. It is quite difficult to stretch the fabric yourself, but it is still possible. A fairly simple way to modify the interior is to install new seats. Recently, you can find sports seats with lateral support on sale, which will fit the car in question. Their cost is quite high, but the result will be impressive. You can also select seats from other cars, but in this case, difficulties may arise with fitting the fastenings. If it is planned to install new seats and create a separate fastening for them, then this work should be carried out before insulating the body. Nothing catches attention like the front panel of a vehicle: material, shape, central dashboard, installed player. When completely changing the interior of a car, it is almost impossible to do without dismantling the front panel and changing it. However, there are several difficulties: it is quite difficult to modify the old one, but choosing a new one for your car is also not easy. Work on changing the front panel is also complicated because it involves electrical wiring. In order to avoid difficulties with connecting the wiring during assembly, individual wires should be combined into groups and labeled. Some craftsmen modify the central dashboard, which is often expressed by creating a large seat for a multimedia system. Note that there are quite a lot of similar systems on sale that have a relatively low cost, but at the same time decent functionality. Made in China, the quality is average, but high-quality multimedia systems can cost several hundred. Another fairly simple way to modify the interior is to modify the instrument panel. You can make this change yourself: stick on a new scale, create an original backlight, and so on. The work will not take much time, will not cost much, but the changes will be significant

Some craftsmen install instrument panels from other cars, but here it is quite important to choose the most suitable version. Small details of the interior, such as the gear shift knob, handles for opening doors, keys on the center panel and many other elements, may also undergo changes. Every little detail can significantly change the interior design if you choose it correctly. Recently, interior lighting has become very popular.

This can be done using special diode strips, which are inexpensive and last quite a long time. The color of the diode strip can be very different; it can be attached to illuminate the central panel, floor and other elements of the car. Most car owners like to listen to music in the car. In order for it to be of high quality, it is not enough to install a good radio. Particular attention is paid to improving the car's acoustics: new speakers, a subwoofer, and an amplifier are installed. At the same time, the quality of the radio or multimedia system must correspond to the quality of the acoustics, since otherwise the investment will be in vain and there will be no significant changes.

The above information reflects how to carry out interior tuning of a VAZ 2114. Only with an integrated approach can good results be achieved. An example is that without good sound insulation, the installed acoustics will not bring proper pleasure. This is due to the constantly appearing noise

Music lovers prefer to listen to music at medium volume, paying careful attention to sound quality

In conclusion, we note that a complete transformation of the car interior will take quite a lot of time. In this case, the vehicle will be in a disassembled state, that is, at this moment it cannot be used. To comprehensively change a car, you need to understand many things; electricians usually cause special problems.

Important points when replacing the cable

Unscrewing the fastener

1. As practice shows, the procedure for replacing a cable on a “ten” begins in the engine compartment. You are required to hold the fork and at the same time pull the cable that is removed from the fork.
2. Then the cable fastener is removed from the bracket, which is located on the gearbox. Having completed this procedure, we go into the interior and dismantle the damaged element, that is, the cable.
3. The result of the repair is influenced not only by the quality of the new cable, but also by the correctness of the entire replacement procedure.
4. If you are dealing with a “ten” from an experimental industrial batch, then the bracket will be presented as a bolt with a Phillips-head screwdriver. To dismantle such a fastening element, you cannot use a regular screwdriver. A special shortened tool will be required.
5. If the cable breaks while driving, you can unscrew the bracket with a handy tool, but through the safety block.
6. It is strongly recommended to replace the non-standard bolt with a regular one, which can be unscrewed with a simple wrench.
7. Be sure to keep a set of tools in your car, since it is extremely rare for a cable to break at the right moment. There is hardly a right moment for any kind of machine breakdown.

Body

The simplest tuning of the body of a VAZ 2114 car is painting the body in unusual colors or using stickers. The game of contrasts will make the car catchy and noticeable while driving

When repainting, it is important to coordinate the actions with the traffic police, because the color of the car is listed in the documentation

An interesting detail of the car modification are the air intakes. Changing the appearance of the hood and roof will not improve the driving performance of the car, but will make its appearance even more unusual.

A rarer, catchier option is “lambo doors”. Car doors that open upward will not go unnoticed. The operation is quite difficult, the main thing is not to forget about adjusting the gaps.

Optics

After repainting, tuning the headlights will help make the car look unusual, and sometimes improve driving comfort at night. You can paint the lamps yourself, install LEDs and lenses in them. For those who don’t want to bother, there are factory headlight options for the VAZ 2113-15 that differ from the standard ones.

Spoiler

The spoiler for the VAZ 2114 is not a very popular, but original tuning detail. Rarely used because a front-wheel drive car does not need improved aerodynamics. Correctly selected size, color, dimensions of the part will help improve the appearance of the car. However, tuning experts recommend abandoning the spoiler in favor of changing the appearance of the trunk or using a small, not too noticeable part.

Body kits

In addition to the spoiler, there are entire sets of body kit parts for the VAZ 2114. These include:

• front bumper;
• rear bumper;
• wing;
• wing pads.

These parts can improve air flow to the engine, increase aerodynamic properties and simply the appearance of the car. Tuned body parts are sold both individually and as whole sets. They differ in appearance, strength, weight and a number of other parameters. The disadvantage of such tuning is the high price of body parts.

Side mirrors

Side mirrors of the VAZ 2114 series are not the most convenient rear view device. They are small, provide limited visibility, and form ice in cold weather. Specialized stores sell mirrors that eliminate the shortcomings of basic devices. New mirrors will provide a better appearance of the car, improve visibility, increase comfort and driving safety.

Overlays

In addition to serious tuning, there are many small details that will make the car unusual in appearance. These include trims, wind deflectors, bumper air intake, wheel arch trims and other minor improvements. They are unable to seriously change the appearance of the car, but are inexpensive and quick to install.

Cable replacement technology

To eliminate this category of breakdowns, there is a certain technique. The clutch is released using a cable. And its regulation is carried out mechanically in the engine compartment on a support in the upper part of the gearbox housing. When disengaging the clutch, problems may appear, which can be identified by checking the serviceability of the pedal mechanism, as well as pressing it five times all the way. Adjusting the operation of the unit determines the free movement of the lever by 1 cm in the opposite direction to the usual movement.

If this is not possible, then the cable needs to be replaced. When removing it, you should make a sharp movement to separate it from the attachment point, then, by squeezing the outer shell, achieve compression of the cable adjustment mechanism at the point of the rubber cuff. To fix the cable mechanism on the gearbox, it must be unfastened from the mounting unit.

Removing the glove box is quite a labor-intensive operation. It is necessary to remove the relay panel (without detaching the wires from the terminals), the clutch pedal housing, only then unfasten the cable and pull it out of the car

Next, carefully pull it through the rubber bushing. Installation is performed in reverse order

Installation of the roller at the end of the cable is carried out by securing the outer parts of the cable to the gearbox, followed by rigid fixation

Installation is performed in reverse order. Installation of the roller at the end of the cable is carried out by securing the outer parts of the cable to the gearbox, followed by rigid fixation

It is important to stretch the cable sheath in the direction of travel and place a rubber damper in the clutch lever. If, during the process of replacing the clutch cable of a VAZ 2110, it is not possible to pull the sheath through in the recommended way, then it must be pushed through until it is possible to compress the plug at the point where the rubber cuff is located

If the sheaths are misaligned, the cable adjustment mechanics should be started again. Then place the casing and relay panel on the mounting conductor and recheck the mounting terminals in detail.

Depressing the clutch pedal and then checking the cable adjustment mechanism completes the installation. After all the preliminary manipulations, you can reconnect the battery.

There are times when the VAZ 2110 clutch cable has been replaced, but the vehicle is still impossible to operate. Probably the reason lies in a poor-quality cable mechanism. If it is in good working order, ensuring further operation consists of repeated repair operations. Duplicating previous actions will eliminate the possibility of an error and will also allow you to check the complex operation of the entire mechanism. If the attempt fails again, the cable must be replaced completely.

When replacing the VAZ 2110 clutch cable, it is important to know this key point: if the vehicle was produced in a pilot production batch, then the bracket can be fixed in the form of a bolted connection using a Phillips screwdriver. In this case, a traditional screwdriver will not cope with the problem of unscrewing, and a shortened version of the tool will be required. However, in the event of a sudden breakdown on the route, the fasteners can be released using a long screwdriver through the safety block

After completing the repair, for subsequent ease of maintenance, it is recommended to replace the old bolt with a standardized version with a wrench head

Replacing and installing a cable requires mandatory adjustment of the pedal travel from top to floor in the range from 12.5...13.0 cm. That is, the pedal must be placed at the same height as the others. Adjustment is carried out by loosening the nuts on the fastening holder located on the gearbox.

By changing the location of the tip using the nuts, you can control the amount of stroke. When a satisfactory result is obtained, tighten the nuts. At this stage, installation and adjustment of the clutch cable is complete.

Replacement process

Schematic diagram of a car clutch Most car enthusiasts and owners of the VAZ-2114 are accustomed to doing most of the repair and restoration operations on their car with their own hands. Replacing the clutch cable is no exception. Of course, not everyone is able to do this on their own, because they do not know where to start and carry out the process.

Algorithm of actions on the VAZ-2114

In principle, when everything is put together, you can proceed directly to the repair process:

• We remove the negative terminal from the battery to disconnect the power to the car.
• We find the cable and begin the dismantling process.
• Using a 17mm wrench, unscrew the fastening nuts.

• All other actions will be performed from the salon. To do this, you need to free access to the clutch pedal. We remove the carpet from the driver's side, and then carefully move the carpet away.
• Disconnect the cable eye from the hook on the pedal. There is a locking bracket installed there. You'll have to tinker with it.

The cable is pulled out from the engine compartment, so it needs to be pushed through from the passenger compartment. You can, of course, pull under the hood and pull it out, but this is dangerous because you can hit wiring or other elements.

We completely dismantle the cable

• Now you need to disassemble the cable housing and remove it from there.
• We install the new cable into the old housing and mount it in place.
• The remaining parts must be assembled in reverse order.
• After installing the product, it is necessary to adjust the cable tension.

TD COST

The cost of brake discs on a VAZ 2114 depends on the manufacturer: standard Avto-VAZ units have proven themselves well, they are inexpensive, about 1 thousand rubles per piece, and at the same time they are durable and reliable - an excellent option for a quiet ride.

Owners of the fourteenth, preferring more aggressive driving, praise the ventilated front brake discs on the VAZ 2114 “MasterSport 14” and “BremboMax 14”, their prices are 2200 and 1600 rubles, respectively.

Bleeding the brake system of VAZ 2106

Bleeding the brakes is done to remove air trapped in the brake system. It is easy to determine the presence of air: the brake pedal is initially pressed too softly, and after several presses it suddenly acquires an unusual “hardness”. These are signs of an air lock.

Sequencing

First of all, it should be said that it is best to bleed the brakes with an assistant. But with some skill, this can be done alone.

1. First, check the brake fluid level.
   The tank must be filled to the upper marks. The reservoir must be filled with liquid to the level of the upper edge of the mounting plate
2. The fitting on the rear brake drum is unscrewed, a rubber hose is inserted in its place, and the other end of the hose is lowered into a plastic bottle.
   The fitting is slightly unscrewed and a hose is inserted into it, with the other end lowered into the bottle
3. After this, the assistant sitting in the cab should press the brakes two or three times and then hold the pedal down for one minute.
4. At this moment, the fitting is unscrewed so that brake fluid flows out of it through the hose. Air bubbles will be visible in it.
5. After some time, the brake pedal will finally fall to the floor, which will be reported by the assistant. As soon as this happens, tighten the fitting and repeat all the above steps. This must be done until liquid with bubbles stops flowing from the hose.
6. When the leaking brake fluid becomes normal, the bleeding procedure should be done with other wheels.

Tuning VAZ 2114 with your own hands (video)

Tuning is a visual or technical improvement of a car, by replacing parts with new, better ones, or upgrading old ones.

Almost every car owner dreams of improving it, first of all, for personal comfort, and for overall aesthetic beauty.

But not everyone has the funds for new, tuned parts, expensive workshops, etc. Therefore, many car owners do this work with their own hands.

Salon

Tuning a VAZ 2114 with your own hands is easiest to do inside the car. The first thing that lends itself easily to this procedure is the steering wheel. The standard steering wheel looks rather crude, and not everyone will like it. Therefore, many car owners change it to another, universal steering wheel.

Tuning the dashboard and interior

The next thing that can be installed on the VAZ 2114 as tuning is an on-board computer. This thing is quite expensive, but it will not only add modernity to your iron friend, but will also help you in some road situations.

A very common option for tuning is installing speakers. Usually, four pieces are installed: two on the door, and two on the rear shelf. Together with a good radio, the quality of the acoustics will be at a fairly high level.

A more painstaking interior tuning is replacing the dashboard. Today, there are special panels on sale that are suitable for the standard mounting of the VAZ 2114. The appearance, compared to the factory one, has more modern outlines, as well as smooth transitions and bends. For comparison, these types of dashboards are installed on the VAZ 2110 “Bogdan”, produced in 2012 – 2014.

Well, the last thing that can be changed inside the car is the trim. It is advisable to buy such a thing in a set so that all the parts fit together. The list of trim elements includes: door cards, seat covers, plastic covers for supporting pillars, headliner, mats, and floor covering. If all the elements are completely replaced, you simply won’t recognize your VAZ 2114.

Visual tuning

Visual tuning includes external changes to the car. For example, replacing bumpers, thresholds, mirrors, etc. The entire replacement process can easily be done with your own hands. All tuned parts have a standard fastening, and in order to install them, you just need to remove the old ones.

Nowadays, film is considered a very fashionable visual enhancement. It can have different coatings: carbon or mirror, as well as absolutely any color. The film replaces the main color of the car. To cover a car with such an element, there are special workshops, but this can also be done at home

Chip tuning

For many car owners, such a concept as: chip tuning can raise many questions: “what is it?”, “what is it done for?”, “what is the cost of such an improvement?” etc. Let's try to find the answer to all the above questions together.

Chip tuning was originally invented in order to improve the technical characteristics of a car without changing its performance. Today, this type of engine modification is very popular, especially among young people.

Since chip tuning mainly affects the electrical system of the car, installation work should be carried out very carefully and carefully. An incorrect sequence of connecting devices can cause malfunctions of some mechanisms, as well as breakdowns and additional costs.

On a VAZ 2114 car, the system is not always configured correctly, even though the car has just left the factory. Therefore, the chip not only improves settings, but also corrects basic errors. This process is somewhat reminiscent of flashing.

Before starting chip tuning, the car must be carefully prepared. This is done as follows:

• The fuel mixture in the carburetor must be such that the engine will perform best. This can be achieved by replacing the air filter;
• Since chip tuning, to some extent, makes the processes in the engine more active, it needs to be helped in this as much as possible. This is done by installing new fuel system filters. Then, gasoline will be cleaner and burn much better;
• Also, it wouldn’t hurt to change the oil and oil filter to improve its pressure.

After the preparation is completed, you can begin installing special devices. Remember that connecting them is a very precise and delicate thing. Any mistake can cause serious damage.

Therefore, if you do not have experience in working with electrical equipment, then it is better to entrust such work to specialists.
