DIY hunter repair

UAZ vehicles are considered the most versatile and practical vehicle. Many residents of our country choose these domestic cars. Cars of this brand have one indisputable advantage - it is really possible to repair the UAZ on your own.

The Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant produces off-road vehicles. In wartime, the ZIS-5 was made here, and when the war ended - the "lorry" GAZ AA. Since the mid-1950s, the production of GAZ-69 began, and the first independent development of the plant was the UAZ-450, the founder of the famous "tablet". Then, for a very long time (more than 30 years), the serial production of the "goat" - UAZ-469 was launched. The UAZ-3303 cargo truck also found its admirers among consumers. Almost all of the above machines can be repaired by hand.

The work of a master in a car service

The simplicity and maintainability of UAZ vehicles have always been highly appreciated by those who bought them - rural residents, off-road enthusiasts, army men. Operation of the UAZ 469 is possible at any time of the year, in any climatic and road (or off-road) conditions. The greatest stress is usually placed on the engine, clutch and suspension. Spare parts for these units can be found without problems.

The engine of UAZ vehicles often overheats, especially when driving off-road. This, in turn, leads to the destruction of the pistons and cylinder liners. As a result, many motorists have to change the complete power unit. To make it easier to restore the UAZ 469 with your own hands, you can use the repair manual. So motorists will be confident in the correctness of their actions when replacing damaged vehicle parts.

Usually, UAZ car repair is associated with the replacement of body elements and its alteration. Motorists who decide to repair their car on their own should always remember that such operations require certain calculations and skills, since the rigidity of the body after the repair should be the same. In addition, it is advisable to arm yourself with special electrical circuits, they will always come in handy. Having studied the circuit, it will be possible to understand what wires the equipment is powered by, what wires it connects. If difficulties arise with this, it is better to entrust the restoration of the performance of your car to experienced specialists.

You can always carry out repairs, for example, UAZ 390995, by watching the corresponding video. Competent restoration of UAZ Hunter and other car models of the Ulyanovsk plant will extend the service life of the vehicle.

We should also mention the repair of mufflers for UAZ vehicles. The location of the part is considered very inconvenient. If you have to drive off-road for a long time, the muffler, as a rule, simply pulls out.

UAZ vehicles are reliable, they show themselves excellently in the harsh Russian conditions. Even a primitive-looking UAZ "tablet" is capable of great feats. But he will need frequent repairs, including engine rebuilding.

Some problems can be dealt with on your own. For example, if the engine does not start, you need to flush the fuel tank sump with gasoline and blow it out with compressed air. If the engine overheats, it is necessary to check whether it has enough coolant.

During the operation of UAZ machines, other problems with the engine may occur. It is worth disassembling the motor only if the following factors are present:

• engine power decreases;
• oil consumption increases;
• the lubricant pressure decreases;
• the motor smokes;
• there is a knock or noise;
• fuel consumption increases significantly.

When removing the engine, follow the standard procedure. First, you need to install the car above the inspection pit, fill in oil and coolant. Then you need to remove the air filter and disconnect the exhaust pipe of the muffler. After that, the hoses of the oil cooler, heating and cooling systems should be disconnected. Next, the radiator is removed. Then it is necessary to disconnect the throttle actuator rods from the carburetor and all electrical wires from the engine. The next step is to disconnect the clutch release cylinder, unscrew the mounting bolts. It remains only to disconnect the gearbox, and then remove the engine itself. In this case, the gearbox and transfer case must remain on the frame. When installing the motor, all steps are performed in reverse order.

Some repair work can be done by yourself

You will need special tools to disassemble the engine. The easiest way to disassemble it is on a swivel stand. It is necessary to start work with a thorough cleaning of various contaminants. After the motor is disassembled, it is necessary to degrease and clean all its parts from carbon deposits. This can be done, for example, mechanically. Then the rubbing surfaces must be lubricated with engine oil.

It is advisable to install permanent joints on nitro-varnish, and threaded parts on red lead. A torque wrench is best for tightening bolts and nuts.

A familiar UAZ "hanter" with damage to the front and rear fenders drove in for repairs.
There was a small dent on the front fender, it was straightened with the help of not cunning devices. On the rear fender, in addition to the dent, there was through corrosion, and this body element had to be replaced with a new one.

Severe "Russian Jeep" - UAZ Hunter. He is harsh in everything. Including in the interior trim. Harsh design without any frills. But how all the same you want coziness and comfort! Especially against the background of various foreign models of SUVs. And there is a way out. What, what, let alone ingenuity and skillful hands, our people are not deprived of. And therefore, there are many ways to significantly improve the interior appearance of the UAZ Hunter cabin.

If you ask a question - what do fans of internal tuning do in the UAZ Hunter's cabin, the correct answer will be - that's it! Jack of all trades change the interior view by reworking everything:

• Interior trim.
• Floor covering.
• Dashboards.
• Seats.
• Combinations of devices.

And each master makes his car unique. It is very difficult to systematize the design methods of our craftsmen. Each car owner with skillful hands makes his own, individual contribution to the UAZ Hunter salon, since the design of this Russian SUV allows you to fulfill any whims.

And again, what do these very skillful pens do not use? A wide variety of materials are used:

And of course, various varnishes and paints. There is no single design for such tuning. It's just that everyone works to the best of their ability and imagination. But in order.

This is the most common way to improve the interior decoration of the UAZ Hunter. Craftsmen apply a new skin instead of the old one or just the standard factory one. The most common way is to buy ready-made sets of blocks for covering. But more interesting is the method of self-cutting and trimming of plating from different materials. This is done like this:

1. The factory casing is dismantled. It is removed completely.
2. The old UAZ Hunter interior trim is applied to the new material, and the details of the new coating are cut out from it.
3. New elements are installed to replace the factory ones.

Also, as an option, stretch the new elements over the old ones to increase sound insulation and keep warm when traveling in cold weather. In general, noise insulation is one of the main problems of this model. As well as the previous UAZs. Therefore, when installing the cladding, it is better to add an extra layer of sound insulation. It never hurts here. And since UAZ Hunter has nothing to do with "racing" models, then an extra weight of a couple of kilograms will not play a role.

Of the materials, leather, leatherette and dense fabrics are most often used. Each of these materials looks very impressive in the interior of this car.

Well, this word speaks for itself - floor. The vast majority of UAZ Hunter owners try to cover all the floors of their car with linoleum. And this is justified. Good noise and heat insulation of this material is great for a car, which often becomes a home during long trips.

The algorithm of work here is simple. All seats are dismantled. The material is spread over the entire floor of the UAZ Hunter and the pattern is cut off. Then it is transferred to the linoleum purchased in advance and spread on a flat surface. It is cut to the desired shape and placed in the salon. It is attached to self-tapping screws with aluminum strips.
Then the seats are installed. A flat and warm floor is ready.

Well, here the fantasy is just played out with might and main. The fact is that there is enough free space in the UAZ Hunter's cabin, and therefore Russian "homemade products" are practically unlimited. The dashboards are shaped into different shapes. It can become soft-rounded, as in the elite models of executive sedans, and severely angular, as in military jeeps of the Western armies. The photo shows options for such alterations. A similar effect is achieved with the help of skillful hands and the availability of materials such as:

Otherwise accurate calculation and accurate work.

Well, there are no special differences from the tuning of conventional sedans. Comfortable head restraints are installed and tight-fitting covers are sewn to the shape of the seats. Seats from other brands of cars are often installed. Including foreign ones. And again, the size of the salon plays a role, which practically does not limit our jack of all trades in anything. The most common material for the upholstery of the seats is, of course, fabric. But the best version is the seat upholstery with real leather. It's quite expensive though. In general, the main thing is that the seats naturally harmonize with the overall trim of the UAZ Hunter's cabin and details such as the instrument panel.

There are fewer possibilities here. The fact is that the possibilities are limited by the list of instruments on the engine and the UAZ Hunter box. However, here too, craftsmen manage to show wonders of wit. They install a trip computer, watches of unusual shapes, and tune the devices themselves by replacing the background under the arrow. But the coolest option is to install digital blocks instead of dial gauges.

Sometimes they change the location of the combination, bringing it to the center of the panel. It turns out very original.

According to the results, we can say that on such a car as the UAZ Hunter there are no clear criteria for tuning. Everyone can modify this car in terms of aesthetics according to their taste and choice. This is clearly demonstrated by various photographs presented here. You can consider them and only admire the resourcefulness of our masters. But for the sake of fairness, I must add that the trim options for the 2017 factory equipment are quite acceptable in design. But there is always room for improvement. In general, tune your UAZ Hunter and go ahead to conquer the Russian off-road!
