In detail: do-it-yourself repair of a VAZ 2106 heater tap from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
One of the reasons for removing the stove radiator on the VAZ 2106 is its leak, which occurs due to the depressurization of the device. In most cases, the heater radiator starts to leak as a result of long-term use of the car, and the most destructive factor is time. The replacement process is quite problematic, since it will take a long time to tinker, although this work itself is not difficult.
In order to carry out this procedure as easy as possible, you will need the following tool:
Flat and Phillips screwdrivers
Ratchet handle small
Head for 7 and 10
Extension
First, you need to complete a number of preparatory work:
Next, under the hood of the VAZ 2106, it is necessary to unscrew the clamps on the coolant hoses that go to the radiator. This is clearly shown in the photo below:
And we remove them by making a certain effort, pulling towards ourselves:
After all that has been done above, we go back to the salon and unscrew the cable fastening nut on the stove faucet, this is where the 7 head is needed. The faucet is on the right side (passenger):
Even to the end, it does not need to be turned off, as the cable itself will jump off the faucet:
Now we unscrew the two radiator mounting nuts, which are clearly visible in the photo:
Now it can be pulled down, as clearly shown in the picture, with considerable effort:
And grasping the tube, we pull the heater radiator back:
The result of the completion of the dismantling work is shown below:
If it is necessary to replace the faucet, then this is done very simply: we unscrew the two nuts of its fastening to the radiator:

And we remove it, lifting it a little up from the studs:
The price of a new one depends on the metal and from which it is produced. Copper is expensive and it costs about 1400 rubles, but aluminum can be bought for only 600 rubles. When replacing, all procedures are carried out in reverse order.
If you are faced with a problem when the stove on the VAZ 2106 does not heat up in winter frosts, you need to carry out urgent repairs. The cause of the breakdown may be a malfunction of the heater tap, so in this article we will tell you how to replace it with your own hands.
Do-it-yourself replacement of the stove tap on a VAZ 2106
1. Drain the liquid from the engine cooling system.
2. Use a screwdriver to loosen the tightening of the clamps and remove the hoses from the heater radiator pipes.
3. Using the "8" key, unscrew the two screws.
4. Then remove the seal from the radiator pipes.
5. In the car, remove the dashboard shelf. For convenience, we remove the case of the glove box.
6. Using the “7” wrench, loosen the screw tightening and disconnect the heater tap drive rod.
7. Using the "10" key, unscrew the two screws securing the tap to the heater radiator.
8. Then remove the heater tap together with the inlet pipe and rubber gasket.
9. Using the “10” wrench, unscrew the two screws and disconnect the inlet pipe with the gasket from the tap.
10. Pay attention to the profile of the gasket.
11. Remove and replace the drive rod mounting bracket on the new crane.
We install a new valve with new gaskets in the reverse order of removal. We fill the engine cooling system with liquid and make sure that the connections of the valve with the heater radiator and the inlet pipe are tight. Note that on our website there is already an article about replacing the stove tap on a VAZ 2107 with your own hands.
The heater in the cabin of the classic "six" must carry heat and work properly, otherwise the VAZ 2106 stove needs to be revised.The temperature inside the car should be comfortable not only for the passengers of the vehicle, but also for the driver, especially if he has to spend a long time behind the wheel.
A significant part of VAZ 2106 cars are traditionally operated in fairly cool climatic conditions, when even in summer it can get colder. The stove in classic models is well thought out and works, but small improvements to the heater or repair (or replacement) of the heater tap and / or radiator grill can significantly increase the heat transfer and functionality of this device.
The classic structure of the interior stove of the VAZ "six" is as follows. Its pumping set (consisting of an electric motor, a fan and its impeller) and a heating unit (a radiator plus a control valve) are connected through the supply from the head block of cylinders.
The principle of the system is simple.
A running car engine heats up the antifreeze.
The antifreeze circulating through the cooling motor system enters the heating system - the heater radiator.
The intake air is blown through the cells by a fan.
The heated air enters the passenger compartment through the air ducts.
Antifreeze, passed through the heating radiator, goes back to the engine, thus constantly circulating and maintaining heat in the radiator.
Malfunctions of this unit are different, but as the most common, specialists and experienced drivers distinguish:
breakdown of the electric motor of the heater fan;
valve and radiator leaks.
It happens that the cold air from the stove is caused by a lack of coolant in the system, then you just need to add it.
If the hose tap or the radiator needs repair, if they need a complete replacement, it is necessary to dismantle and disassemble the stove. To do this, you should take simple tools and perform the following actions. Opening the heater tap and draining the antifreeze, unscrew the fastening of the hoses and remove them. Then they remove the shield, the fan assembly of the stove, dismantle the radiator, the nozzles of the stove and the crane. Having dismantled the pipe from the radiator and the flange gasket, they also remove the heating tap from them. This unit is disassembled into parts. Replacement of gaskets is carried out as needed.
Cleaning or replacing the faucet and / or radiators usually improves the performance of the heating system, but another option is possible.
Heating the VAZ 2106 never caused particular problems, if all elements of the heating system worked smoothly. The stove lasts for a long time, requires almost no maintenance, so in winter you can always rely on it. Mechanics are mechanics, and sometimes even the most reliable and proven units malfunction, and the 2106 stove is also subject to aging.

It's cold in the cabin, that's all the signs. And if you go deeper and study the issue in more detail, then the first signs of a malfunction of the stove and the heating system as a whole can be considered:
antifreeze leakage;
increased noise of the stove fan;
difficult adjustment of the curtains and the heater tap;
insufficiently high blowing air temperature.
As a rule, the stove breaks down suddenly, and at the most inopportune moment. Then you have to find out the reasons and eliminate them, and no matter how reliable the VAZ 2106 is, the repair of the stove is inevitable.
Basically, the design of the stove is very simple, that is why it is reliable. The stove consists of
Heater radiator.
A fan consisting of a motor and an impeller with a casing.
Stove tap.
Distribution flap.
The diagram of the stove is shown in the photo, and it hardly requires explanations. Despite the rather compact size, the stove does its job successfully, but there may be reasons for the elimination of which we will talk further.The causes of stove malfunctions in most cases are antifreeze leakage, failure of the heater motor and failure of the stove tap.
It is simply impossible not to see the leakage of antifreeze from the system, because it will literally flow under your feet. First of all, we find the place where the antifreeze is flowing from, and think about how to cope with this problem.
The main culprit, as a rule, is the stove radiator. Older models have copper heatsinks, and if you have one, you're in luck. It can be tinned, washed, and it will become like new. If the radiator of the stove is made of aluminum, there is little sense in repairing it. If there is absolutely nothing to do, you can try to restore it - put a patch of epoxy resin if it burst in the area of the pipe, or try to glue it with a sealant if a leak has formed in the honeycomb. But there is no guarantee as a result of the work, so it is easier to change it.
Before removing the radiator, you need to make sure that it is he who is flowing, and not the rubber hose on the pipe. Rubber often dries up from temperature and lets out a barely noticeable crack, from which antifreeze flows. Replacing the tube will solve this issue if it is not possible to cut and shorten it.
The same applies to the heater tap. The faucet itself is quite reliable in design, and the heating pipes are simply leaking. Inspect the places from the interface with the crane, and then it will be possible to avoid dismantling the crane, although there is nothing complicated about that.
If diagnostics establish that the radiator is the fault of the antifreeze leakage, we will remove it. It is not as difficult as just inconvenient, and the operation itself will take several minutes. Here is the algorithm for dismantling the radiator:
We drain the antifreeze from the cylinder block, after removing the expansion tank cap.
From the engine compartment, we loosen the fastening clamps and remove the hoses from the pipes.
Dismantle the rubber seal.
In the cabin, unscrew the two console mounting bolts and remove it.
Disconnect the cable from the heater tap.
We snap off the spring brackets securing the fan casing.
We dismantle the stove radiator.
After inspecting the stove radiator, we decide whether it can be repaired.
The heater blower motor has a hidden flair. After a certain run of the car, he begins to sing, and in such a voice that can infuriate the stone Dzerzhinsky. It starts to make noise on an unheated engine, and then calms down, but not for long. Therefore, at the first manifestations of a malfunction, it should be changed immediately.
It is better to do this when we change the radiator itself, so as not to disassemble the entire structure once again. As a rule, it cannot be repaired, and it can be thrown away with a pure heart.
The operation of the VAZ 2106 stove can be influenced by the operation of the thermostat, it is worth paying more attention to the condition of the air ducts - they can simply clog with leaves. As you can see, repairing a VAZ 2106 stove is not difficult, the main thing is to know the reason, and you can always fix it quite simply, and then your six will always be warm. Do not freeze, and good luck on the road!
Replacing the VAZ-2106 heater valve may be necessary suddenly, when the owner of a domestic vehicle discovers a malfunction of the heating device. As a rule, most motorists encounter such a problem precisely in the cold season, when it is not possible to heat the interior to a comfortable temperature. In the material below, the principle of replacing the heater tap on a VAZ-2106 car is considered. Acting according to the instructions, even a novice amateur mechanic can repair a faulty structural element.
So, if a motorist is faced with the task of changing the stove faucet on a VAZ 2106, it is necessary to start the process by draining the antifreeze, which is located in the cooling system of the power unit.
Then, using a screwdriver, loosen the tightening of the clamps and dismantle the hoses extending from the radiator pipes of the heater.
Repairing the stove tap on a VAZ-2106 car provides for the need to unscrew both self-tapping screws with a key on "8", which will get rid of the seal that wraps the radiator pipes.
The following manipulations will require the motorist to move to the vehicle interior, since it is there that you can remove the dashboard shelf and the glove box body itself.
To remove the old stove tap, it is necessary to loosen the screw tightening as much as possible using the key "7", while removing the drive rod that goes directly to the part to be replaced.
Using the key "10" helps to unscrew both screws, by means of which the defective part is held on the radiator. Then you should get rid of the inoperative element of the system, together with it dismantling not only the inlet pipe, but also the rubber gasket.
The same device (key for "10") will help to unscrew the screws that connect the inlet valve and the gasket.
Before proceeding to the next step, you should carefully inspect the profile of the gasket, only then removing and replacing the bracket that secures the drive rod to the new device.
The new heater element is naturally installed in the reverse order. The motorist must fasten the part together with new gaskets and only after that fill the engine cooling system with antifreeze. It is important at the end of the work to check the tightness of the connections located between the valve with the radiator and the inlet pipe.
