In detail: do-it-yourself VAZ car repair VAZ 2106 from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

VAZ-2106 Zhiguli / Lada 1600 / Lada 1500L / Lada 1300SL is a four-door five-seater car with a sedan body and rear wheel drive. Perhaps one of the most popular VAZ models.

In 1976, at the plant in Togliatti, they mastered and set up production of the VAZ-2106 model, the model for which was the RAT 124 Speciale produced in 1972. Then no one thought that this model would become so massive and popular among all the products of the Volga Automobile Plant.

"Six", in contrast to the VAZ-2103, has a more powerful 80-horsepower VAZ-2106 engine with a working volume of 1.6 liters, a different electrical circuit, as well as a modified design of the body and interior. For example, it has other bumpers with plastic "fangs" and "corners", changed the grille, the front twin headlights received plastic "glasses", and the taillights are combined with the license plate light and plastic "spacers" between the radiator grill and the headlights.

In 1979, the plant begins production of less powerful modifications of the VAZ-21061 with a 1.5-liter 71-horsepower VAZ-2103 engine and a VAZ-21063 with a 1.3-liter 64-horsepower VAZ-21011 engine. Since 1980, cars have been equipped with Ozone type 2107 carburetors.

In 1982, the Six was modernized. They began to install modified 75-horsepower VAZ-2106 engines on it according to the new GOST. Reflectors were no longer installed along the molding line on the rear fender. In 1988, the modernization affected the exhaust system: a disposable gasket and nut were installed in it.

In 1990, the plant launched a modification that can be called a Lux package - VAZ-21065 with a standard VAZ-2106 engine with a contactless ignition system, a Solex carburetor (21053-1107010-03), improved interior upholstery, other head restraints and with halogen headlights. This modification was made with "five" bumpers, a 1500 engine, heated rear window, a five-speed gearbox and a more powerful generator. The export models VAZ-21064 differed in appearance from the VAZ-21065 in a modified electrical circuit and bumpers with built-in turn signals. Beginning in 1985, first for export modifications, and later for “internal” modifications, the installation of a 5-speed gearbox of the VAZ-2112 and VAZ-21074 type began, which significantly reduces fuel consumption on the roads and engine noise.

A fairly simple and familiar design of the legendary "classic" Zhiguli allows you to carry out routine repairs of the VAZ 2106 yourself, in a garage. The point is not only in the simplicity of the design, but also in the affordable cost of spare parts, as well as in the small number of necessary tools and special devices.

The repair and operation of the VAZ 2106, as a rule, are inexpensive. A car in good technical condition and with a calm driving style in practice moderately consumes fuel, while not being too picky about its quality. "Six" and its modification VAZ 21061 with a 1.5 liter engine when driving on a highway at speeds up to 100 km / h fit into 8-8.5 l / 100 km, and the VAZ 21063 model consumes even less - up to 8 l / 100 km.

The resource of the power unit depends on the conditions in which it is used. On average, a factory-assembled engine passes 150 thousand km before overhaul, sometimes the mileage reaches 200 thousand. During this period, it will be necessary to perform such work.

The electrical part of the car as a whole is quite reliable because it is simple. The following parts often fail:

  • circuit breakers;
  • charging voltage regulator;
  • distributor contacts (on older models), slider fuse;
  • high voltage wires;
  • starter and generator brushes;
  • relay;
  • the terminals of the storage battery are oxidized.

The weakest point in the cooling system is the thermostat. The diagnosis of the malfunction is as follows: overheating of the liquid is observed or, conversely, a constantly low temperature. In newer models, the electric fan activation sensor, located at the bottom of the radiator, sometimes fails. After 40-60 thousand mileage, the water pump (pump) becomes unusable. It cannot be repaired and is completely changed. The rest of the units and parts of the system work reliably and do not have pronounced "diseases".

In the fuel supply system, the gasoline pump requires attention, diaphragms and valves in it quickly wear out. In carburetor models of the "six", capital cleaning of this unit is required approximately 1 time in 25 thousand km. In recent years, carburetors 2107 "Ozone" were installed on VAZ 21061 and 2106, and modification 2105 "Ozone" was installed on VAZ 21063. On vehicles with an injector, the injectors must be cleaned at the same intervals as the carburetors.
