This car, manufactured by AvtoVAZ, has become very popular in Russia. She has a solid number of fans, there is a club, any news is actively discussed on the forums. But certain malfunctions are typical for a vehicle, so the main topic is the repair of this car.

1. Basic machine data
2. Typical malfunctions
3. What can you fix on your own?
4. Replacing the CV joint
5. Replacement of power windows
6. Changing the air filter

The car has been produced since 2004, and in 2013 a new modification was launched, represented by three body options - a hatchback, a sedan and a station wagon. The front axle is equipped with the classic version of the MacPherson suspension, the rear axle is equipped with a beam with a stabilizer, spring and shock-absorbing elements. Gasoline engine, three models. The gearbox is set at five speeds.

Repair of Lada Kalina is not a very difficult task, you just need to know the main "pain points". Major problems are rare, but there are quite a few minor malfunctions. The clutch cannot boast of a high level of reliability and a sufficient power reserve regardless of the type of engine; it starts failing in thousands after forty runs. The main problem is the disk.

It is recommended to monitor the oil level - it starts flowing through the gaskets or burns on the piston rings. The dashboard is equipped with an oil pressure warning lamp only, there is no dial gauge. Constant burning of the lamp warns that the crankshaft may knock. Increased noises are often heard in the gearbox. It is difficult to get rid of the buzzing, sometimes neither changing the bearings will help, nor the filled oil of good quality. Noise can even be present in newer cars. The engine thermostat is another problem. The valve is capable of jamming at any moment.

An experienced driver is able to independently cope with the following problems:

• change the air filter;
• bleed the air plug from the cooling system;
• replace the water supply pump;
• eliminate the knock of the gearshift knob;
• change the ignition system module;
• install a new diode bridge of the generator;
• replace the CV JOINT.

In any type of repair work, it is necessary to use a good tool, special equipment, follow the vehicle operating instructions.

Most often, the ignition system module, diode bridge, bearings fail, there is a break in the glass lift cable on the driver's door. If the ignition coil sparks, two of the four cylinders stop working. A break in the glass lifter cable is possible due to its interlacing with the guide elements. The crackle in the CV joints appears due to poor lubrication, the "grenades" have to be changed as a result of their significant wear.

The outer element can be changed without using a pit; it will be enough to put the machine on a flat surface.

To do this, unscrew the nut on the hub, remove the wheel. Unscrew the bolts holding the ball, take out the steering knuckle, remove the clamps from the boot. After knocking down the outer CV joint, install a new one in its place, collect everything in the reverse order.

To repair the power windows, the control module is removed, the door trim is dismantled.

To disconnect the lift from the glass, the latter must be lifted all the way up. The fastening bolts are unscrewed, the ferrous metal bar is removed. ESP removal should start from the back.

To do this, the cover screws are unscrewed, the filter is removed, a new element is installed in its place, the case is screwed in. Experts advise to perform such a replacement every thirty kilometers. And if the car goes on country roads, then the shift is best done more often.

Naturally, more serious problems associated, for example, with the engine or steering rack, should be solved with the help of specialists in auto repair shops.

For the rest, we can confidently assume that repairing the viburnum frets on their own will be within the reach of any driver. It is only necessary to study the operating instructions, consult with more experienced comrades, prepare the necessary tools and spare parts for replacement.

Thanks for the advice. Motor four-stroke. Will the ECU work without three nozzles, or is it necessary to hang something on the free channels instead of them or turn them off programmatically? Many people put January on Ural and Dnepr motorcycles, they have two cylinders.

05/05/2017 - 23:41 Fedor Bart

As far as I understand, January is able to work on a single injection, what if it is implemented through it? Of course, it is advisable to skate on the SDK.

The car produced by AvtoVAZ Lada Kalina has received popular recognition in Russia - this brand has enough fans, there is a club, and many forms have been created on the Internet. But the car has its own characteristic "diseases", and therefore the repair of Lada Kalina is a relevant topic, worries many car owners.

In this article, we will look at the most vulnerable spots of a car, the most common malfunctions and methods for their elimination.

Lada Kalina has been produced by the Volzhsky Automobile Plant since the end of 2004; since 2013, Togliatti residents have started producing the second generation of the polar car. Kalina-1 is presented in three bodies:

• sedan, model 1118;
• hatchback, 1119;
• station wagon (Combi), 1117.

Kalina-1 is equipped with three types of gasoline engines:

• 1.4 L 16-valve 11194 89 hp With.;
• 1.6 L 8-valve 21114 (81 HP);
• 1.6 L 16-valve 21126 (98 HP).

On the first generation car, only a manual gearbox with five gears is provided. The front suspension of the VAZ car is a typical MaCpherson; a beam with a stabilizer, shock absorbers and springs is installed on the rear axle.

Major breakdowns with the car are rare, but there are enough various unpleasant little things. The clutch on a VAZ car is not distinguished by high reliability and a long resource, regardless of the type of engine, and it can fail at a mileage of 40-50 thousand km. The main reason for the breakdown is a collapsed clutch disc.

In the engine, it is necessary to constantly monitor the oil level - it can go through the gaskets, burn through the piston rings.Only the oil pressure emergency lamp is installed on the instrument cluster, there is no dial indicator. When the indicator is constantly on, it may be too late - the crankshaft will knock.

A well-known disease of all VAZ gearboxes is an increased hum. It is difficult to get rid of the noise of the gearbox; in some cases, even replacing the bearings, filling in high-quality gear oil does not help. The checkpoint is howling on new cars, so AvtoVAZ has already modified the transmission more than once.

Also, starting with the "eights" and "nines", the thermostat in the engine was considered a problematic part, and the valve in it could jam in any position. It is unpleasant if the engine does not warm up to the desired operating temperature, but when the engine overheats it is even worse.

In an electrician on Lada Kalina-1, three main problems most often arise:

• bearings and diode bridge quickly "die" in the generator;
• the ignition module often fails;
• the power window cable of the driver's door is torn.

If the ignition coil is punctured, either the first and fourth, or the second and third cylinders in the engine stop working. The breakage of the ESP cable occurs due to the fact that it jumps off its guides.

The reason for the appearance of the crunching of the outer SHRUS is the lack of lubrication, the thrifty plant workers put it in a little. As a result, there is intense wear of the hinges, and the "grenade" has to be changed.

A broken timing belt is always unpleasant, but if on an 8-valve 21114 you can change the belt drive and go further, then on motors 11194 and 21126 valves bend from the oncoming impact with pistons, and repair is quite expensive. A break can also occur due to a jammed water pump, therefore, if the pump is noisy, it must be urgently changed.

Lada Kalina-1 - the car is quite simple, and the driver can fix many breakdowns on his own. For example, it will not be difficult with your own hands;

• remove the airlock from the cooling system;
• eliminate the bounce of the gearshift knob;
• replace the engine air filter;
• change the water pump;
• replace the diode bridge in the generator;
• install a new outer CV joint instead of the crunchy old drive;
• replace the ignition module.

In Lada Kalina, do-it-yourself repairs should be carried out according to the instructions, use high-quality auto mechanic tools, if necessary, do the work with the help of pullers and special equipment.

It is possible to change the external "grenade" to "Kalina" without a lift or a pit, but the car must be installed on a level surface. We make the replacement as follows:

• first of all, we loosen and unscrew the hub nut - when the wheel is removed, it will be problematic to move it;
• we loosen the wheel nuts, jack up the car, dismantle the wheel. To prevent the car from rolling, it is necessary to put stops under the rear wheels, and put a support (for example, a wooden beam) under the threshold in front of the jack next to the jack for safety;
• turn off the ball joint bolts from below (2 pcs.);
• we pull out the steering knuckle towards ourselves, release the wheel drive;
• remove the clamps from the boot;
• we take the boot closer to the gearbox, knock down the outer CV joint through a bronze or copper drift;
• install the new part in place, stuff the grease into the hinge, fix the boot on the CV joint with new clamps;
• we assemble all parts.

The cooling system can "air" for various reasons, and first of all, the stove in the cabin stops blowing warm air, the temperature rises, the antifreeze boils. If you squeeze the upper and lower radiator pipes, you feel that they are empty, there is no coolant in them. Often "airing" occurs after replacing the stove radiator, and it is sometimes very difficult to remove air from the system.Alternatively, you can install an additional tee on the lower pipe of the heater under the hood, and lead the new hose into the expansion tank from above; put a plug in the lower pipe from the tank to the lower radiator pipe.

On an 8-valve VAZ-21114 engine, on average, the resource of a water pump is about 70-100 thousand kilometers, and if it starts to make noise or leak, it must be replaced. It should be noted that on all models 2108-15, Lada Priore and Kalina with an 8-valve internal combustion engine, the pump changes according to the same principle.

Replace the water pump as follows:

• we drain the antifreeze from the cooling system;
• remove the plastic timing belt cover;
• if the timing belt does not need to be changed, then the crankshaft pulley is not removed, respectively, it is not necessary to dismantle the right wheel;
• we set a mark on the camshaft - it should match the ebb on the rear timing case;
• weaken the tension roller, remove the belt from the camshaft;
• unscrew the three pump mounting bolts with a hexagon, take out the pump;
• put a new pump in place, put on a belt, tighten with a tension roller, check the alignment of marks, on the crankshaft the mark is on the flywheel, under the rubber plug of the gearbox housing;
• fill in the antifreeze, start the engine, check if the antifreeze is leaking, and if the pump is noisy. If everything is in order, put the timing case back in place.

Replacing the air filter on the Lada Kalina (engine 21114) is very simple, we perform the work in the following order:

• unscrew the four screws of the upper cover of the air filter housing, for this you need a regular Phillips screwdriver;
• lift the top cover, remove the filter element;
• we install a new filter in place;
• we tighten the four screws of the VF case.

It is recommended to replace the filter element on Lada Kalina every 30 thousand kilometers, but if the car is operated in a dusty area, the filter element should be changed more often.

If on a Lada Kalina car the power window cable becomes unusable or the motor burns out, the ESP must be changed. The replacement operation is performed in the following order:

• dismantle the power window control unit;
• remove the door trim;
• to disconnect the window lifter from the glass, the latter must be lifted all the way up;
• unscrew the four bolts that secure the glass to the ESP (two in the front and two in the back). The glass is supported by seals, but it can also be secured so that it does not fall down;
• unscrew the black metal bar (three screws);
• we unscrew the eleven fasteners of the window regulator (bolts for 10), disconnect the power plug from the electric motor;
• we start to take out the power window from the back, first we take out one half of it;
• then we take out the front part together with the motor from the door cavity;

A burned-out electric motor on a lift can be easily changed. For this:

• we unscrew three pins on the body of the mechanism, then four more screws;
• dismantle the motor, holding the reel with the cable by hand, install a new part;
• we mount the window regulator in the door, connect it to the glass guides, put the trim in place.

A characteristic disease of Lada Kalina is bouncing in the area of ​​the gear lever, it is especially well heard at engine speeds of about 3000. The cause of the extraneous sound is the bushing, which is a little thicker than necessary, and therefore a gap is created in the connection. To eliminate the defect, we proceed as follows:

• remove the handle cover, it is fastened with latches;
• turn the nut and bolt with two keys for 13;
• remove the washers and bushings, the design looks like this;
• to exclude bouncing, the bushing (the one in the middle) can be slightly sharpened in width, or grease the connection with a sealant;
• after completing the action, we collect everything back.The sealant does not always help, but sharpening the sleeve by 0.3 mm gives the desired effect.

Thrust Pivot - is part of the gearbox drive system. This part is necessary for damping vibrations coming from the checkpoint, as well as eliminating various knocks.

A drop in power, unstable engine operation, as well as a lack of traction, all these unpleasant phenomena can occur for various reasons, from commonplace to very serious. In some cases, the reason lies in the fact that misfire occurs in one of the cylinders. O

Replacing the coolant with Lada Kalina is recommended every 60-70 thousand km. run or every three years, whichever comes first. There are situations when there is no need to replace antifreeze or antifreeze, however, drain the coolant (coolant)

The problem of a jamming EMUR (aka EUR - electric power steering) is familiar to many Kalinovodov, this malfunction can be considered a disease of all Kalin, unfortunately. However, our man would not be ours if he did not find a solution to this problem.

Hello. Today at my.housecope.com/wp-content/uploads/ext/3067 I'll tell you how to replace a faulty idle speed regulator (IAC) on Kalina. We have already done a similar thing on the "nine", who is interested you can be curious, here's a link.

A defective air conditioner, especially in the hot season, is a very unpleasant phenomenon. Staying on a hot sultry day without a source of coolness is like being left in the desert without a drop of water. Well, perhaps not a very good comparison and perhaps slightly exaggerated,

With the onset of cold weather, it is very often found that the same lifesaver in the form of a “car stove” does not work. In such cases, you have to look for the reason why the stove does not work.

Do-it-yourself Lada Kalina repair is carried out by every second owner of a domestic car. It is enough to have basic knowledge of an auto mechanic, time and desire.
