DIY instrument panel repair VAZ 2110

At the initial stage of reworking your own car, much attention should be paid to tuning the VAZ 2110 panel. Many owners of the "dozen" adhere to the position that their car should not lag behind modern fashion trends in the world of four-wheeled high-speed "iron horses".

Of course, everyone wants his car, despite a certain amount of wear and tear and a rather rich history of the VAZ 2110 brand, to look beautiful, “feel” powerful and provide high comfort inside the cabin for all passengers. In the process of moving in a vehicle, many passengers pay attention to the devices.

Of course, always more interesting for them will be original devices with exclusive design solutions that literally amaze and delight. Tuning the VAZ 2110 instrument panel should begin with a search for panels. To establish such a detail, you will have to use your own skills and dexterity, if you do not want to give your hard-earned money in various car dealerships.

Moreover, this work does not require the use of special tools. It will be enough to use pliers and a Phillips screwdriver.

The whole process of updating the dashboard with your own hands does not take much time. All that needs to be done is to dismantle the obsolete "part" and install the modernized model. How to remove the VAZ panel, you can find out here and in the manual for the repair and operation of the car. But the main steps should be recalled:

• first you need to disconnect the battery terminals. The steering wheel should be lowered to the lowest position.
• it is necessary to unscrew the self-tapping screws of the panel overlay.
• then we disconnect the connector on the left, in this situation we are talking about the machine switch for external refresh. Then, using pliers, you should unbend the fixtures of the instrument cluster.
• Next, we remove it. Some models are fixed with M5 screws. Finally, disconnect the connectors.

After that, you can install the new panel in the reverse order. Such tuning of the VAZ 2110 with your own hands will always arouse admiration among passengers and a sense of their own pride.

Today the fashion of changing the dashboard illumination is gaining fantastic momentum. Almost everywhere, cars have neon lights or interior LED lighting. However, all these innovations are not cheap pleasure that not everyone can afford. The situation is different with the replacement of the factory backlight with a multi-colored one.

You can, no doubt, use ready-made tuning options, but it will cost a lot. It is best to do it yourself. In this situation, the main thing is to have the necessary materials and patience. First you have to disassemble the "tidy". It is necessary to remove the protective glass. Next, remove the arrows. To do this, you need to use a screwdriver and hard cardboard.

It should be placed under the arrow, and then pry it off with a screwdriver. Then gently and slowly raise it to the top. Next, remove the backing. A clerical knife is useful for this. It must be inserted between the panel and the substrate and a layer of sealant cut through in a circle. Then we remove the backing. We disassemble the panel and start.

1. Remove the filter layer using a clerical knife. A light filter is a colored layer of paint. It is applied from the back of the substrate and gives color illumination to the speedometer numbers and the rest of the gauges. To completely get rid of the filter, you can use acetone or another liquid that contains alcohol.

2. Next, change the highlight color.The odometer backlight can be changed first. To do this, you need to dismantle the odometer screen, and then remove the blue film and remove the backlight bulb. It should be replaced with a multi-color universal LED. He can change colors. We attach the LED to the standard bulb holder. Reinstall the odometer screen.

3. Now you can start completely replacing the backlight. We attach the LEDs to the tidy frame. These LEDs can be purchased with a color switch. We install them in place and attach them to the standard contacts of the backlight of the device.

4. Let's go further. Now you need to make sure that the arrows have the ability to change the highlight. To do this, remove the layer of red paint from the arrows. For this operation, you can use a clerical knife and acetone. When the arrow is cleaned, it can be painted using white nail polish. The main thing is that the arrow is white, since this color reflects the color gamut of the LEDs.

5. Before the final step, you need to fix the LED color switch on the panel. Such a switch can be installed, for example, in the lower right corner of the "tidy". Then you can put everything in place. First, the substrate is mounted. For greater reliability, you can use a sealant. After that, we put the arrows in place. We insert the protective glass. After that we admire the result.

Tuning the panel of the presented car, among other things, you can also beautifully highlight the "tidy" buttons. Take the rear fog light button, for example. First you have to dismantle and disassemble it. To do this, pull its moving part and body in different directions.

After the button is pulled out, the incandescent lamp can be accessed. If you wish, you can take it out. If it is not possible to pull out the light bulb, then follow on. Using a screwdriver or a knife, we pry the latches on both sides. A switch mechanism will appear in front of us. We need a black brace here. Prying it off, we will calmly scatter the whole mechanism.

Now we can easily remove the lamp; tweezers are suitable for this. Now you can connect your fantasy. You can purchase an LED lamp in any color. It should be borne in mind that the positive contact is # 6, and the negative contact is # 7. You can tell the polarity by looking at the back of the case. A block with wires is inserted here. Next, let's check how the backlight works. If everything is ok, move on to the next part.

Get rid of the green filter. It can be drilled out, this must be done carefully so that the drill does not go through the entire structure. As a result, we remove the light filter from the structure and check it for operability.

It should be noted that almost all buttons, if desired, can be modified in this way. The only exception is the position of the negative and positive contacts, they must be looked at in the wiring diagram. If there is no diagram, you can safely find a photo of it on the Internet. The negative contact is usually denoted with a black wire, the positive one - of any color.

Most often it is white. You can remember, but it is better to sketch or photograph the contact connections, then there will be no confusion during the assembly process. The assembly process must be carried out in the reverse order.

You can nicely complement the panel by installing a tweeter (tweeter). Drilling holes is one of the most challenging steps. The windshield interferes with right angle drilling. But it is impossible to do without a drill, because there is a metal strip under the plastic shell. In this situation, a semblance of a template or stencil should be made from paper.

Using a knife, you can remove the soft area of ​​the panel (from the outside - plastic, from the inside - a kind of foam rubber). Then we take a drill and drill around the previously marked area. It is better to use compact drills.When the hole is drilled, the uneven edges should be corrected. To do this, you can use special drill bits.

You need to drill away from instruments and sensors. Please note that wires or brackets can be caught under the metal strip. The tweeter element to be mounted must fit snugly into the hole. If there is some freedom, then it is necessary to seal this area with a sealant. The tweeter wires can be hooked around the edges of the ductwork.

This tweeter is an important component if a speaker system is to be built in a car. Without such detail, the sound and sound volume will not be complete.

Domestic car 2110 cannot boast of a high-quality panel. In severe frost or summer heat, plastic often begins to crack. In addition, its corner sometimes peels off. The "tidy" of this machine consists of three parts: a central, upper lining and a lower plastic lining. The corner is most often peeled off through: unscrewing the self-tapping screws that attract the upper plate, or through the fact that its soft part has moved away from the metal part of the upper plate.

In the first option, you need to remove the panel, because otherwise you will not be able to tighten the top cover. If only the soft part has departed, then there may be several solutions. You can glue it, but it won't hold on tightly, on a plastic air deflector. Another option is to mask the gap that forms when the corner of the panel comes off.

You can, no doubt, cover the gap with a wire. It is laid inside using a screwdriver. Instead of a wire, you can use a headlight seal. In this case, you can return the corner to its place. For gluing the corner, use polyurethane foam. The casing, thanks to the foam, will adhere precisely to the metal body, but first it must be cleaned and degreased.

Then we apply the foam inside, remove the excess foam with a wet rag. Press the corners with paper clips. You do not need to immediately remove the foam. Wait until it dries. After the foam dries, you need to paint over it with a marker. It may seem like the foam is bursting, but in reality, the corners of the panel will not come out.

Now you can proceed to repair the cracks on the panel. To do this, use either a tool for repairing plastic, or overtighten the lining with material. As for the first option, it is the simplest, because you do not need to remove the cover during repairs. You can remove the crack using a special epoxy resin.

Cosmophene and cold welding are also suitable for use. To prevent the crack from standing out, the dashboard should be repainted. In the second method, when tightening this car part, leather or leather is used. First, the crack must be filled. If the problem is in the corner of the panel that has come off, then it will not be difficult to repair it.

If the "tidy" is cracked, then it is very difficult to completely hide the crack and, at the same time, not to remove it. If the matter concerns the repair, then it is better to immediately replace it with a Euro plate. Here you can see in detail how to solder plastic.

The boring standard panel (in the video) quickly bores many owners of the VAZ 2110, but I don't want to buy an alternative one, which is equipped with a computer and costs a lot of money. What to do in such a situation? There is a great option that will allow you to carry out economical tuning with your own hands. One of the easiest ways is to buy an overlay.

You can find them without any problems in online stores (the photos presented there give a general idea of ​​such details). To install it, you need to remove the "tidy" and carefully pull out the arrows. When installing the arrows in place, you should make sure that nothing interferes with their movement. Otherwise, you will have to disassemble everything again.

If you add the illumination of the scale and arrows to this tuning option, you can almost instantly transform your own car beyond recognition.

It's not a secret for anyone that the panel of a VAZ 2110 often creaks.Eliminating squeak is also called soundproofing. This process begins with disassembling the "tidy" into three parts, which are fastened together with bolts. Modelin can be used as an “antiskrip”, and Bitoplast will act as a noise absorber.

A modelin should be used in the places where the panel parts touch. All holes from the bolts must be closed with modelin in order to eliminate the loss of air flow in the stove. The back of the dashboard needs to be pasted over with bitoplast.

The rest of it can be glued inside. In this article, in more detail how to glue sound insulation. Often squeaks are caused by a black fuse box and glove compartment. Bitoplast should be laid at the bottom of the latter, and the sides should be pasted over with modelin. The sides of the black box that are in contact with the panel should be glued with modelin. It should be noted that the bitoplast is crushed during landing and there should be no problems with the installation of the "tidy".

Nothing can please the owners so much as the silence and the complete absence of various annoying squeaks in the car. The comfort in the cabin, which arises after the soundproofing of the panel, causes only pleasant sensations.

On cars of the VAZ 2110-2112 family, the dashboard includes control lamps and on-board instruments, with which the driver can easily monitor the condition of the car. The following indication lamps are displayed on the dashboard: coolant temperature, turn signals, tachometer, fuel level, speedometer, an image in the form of a gas station, which means that you need to refuel, light bulbs for dimensions and high beam, low brake fluid level, a screen that reflects the car's mileage, emergency alarm, Check Engine, which signals engine malfunctions, a display with a clock, indication of a generator malfunction or recharging the battery, indication of the handbrake on, a low oil pressure lamp in the engine and on carburetor motors, an air damper lamp).

To replace (repair) devices, you must perform the following actions in a strictly established manner:

1. It is necessary to remove the complete assembly of the entire instrument cluster.

2. Unscrew the screws (2 pcs.) That secure the rail. After that, the bus itself must be disconnected from the instrument system board.

3. Unscrew the screws (7 pcs.) That secure the frame with glass.

4. It is necessary to remove the frame by disconnecting it from the instrument system.

5. Unscrew the screws (2 pieces) that secure the instrument cluster board.

6. Disconnect the left light filter, which is marked with the warning lamp symbols.

7. Disconnect the right light filter, which is marked with the warning lamp symbols.

9. Unscrew the nuts securing the fuel level sensor, coolant temperature sensor and tachometer. Each device is secured with 3 nuts.

10. Disconnect the board from the instrument system housing.

11. Unscrew the screws securing the instrument scale to the case (5 pcs.).

12. Remove the scale with instruments from the system case.

13. Very carefully, prying the arrow of the fuel level indicator with a screwdriver, it is necessary to remove it from the axle.

14. Unscrew the screws (2 pcs.) That secure the fuel level indicator to the scale.

15. Disconnect the fuel gauge. Install a new one in its place. When installing the sensor, perform all the steps in the reverse order of removal.

16. Replace the rest of the fixtures in the same way as described. This is the whole repair of the VAZ 2110 instrument panel. As you can see, there is nothing difficult and there is no need to go to a specialized service and pay money.

17. The assembly of the instrumentation system should be carried out in the reverse order of the disassembly procedure. When carrying out these works, it is necessary to take into account that the nuts that secure the tachometer have a different thread.

In many cars, including the VAZ 2110, control lamps A12? 1.2 are used in the instrument cluster. When replacing the lamp, follow these steps:

2.The cartridge, together with the burned out lamp, should be turned counterclockwise as far as it will go.

3. Remove the bulb holder from the instrumentation system.

4. A new lamp is installed in place of a burned-out lamp in the reverse order. All other lamps of the instrument cluster are replaced in the same way.

Thanks to the icons on the dashboard, the driver can always know the state of the components and assemblies in his car. But in order to know exactly what we are talking about, it is necessary to take into account the pinout of the instrument panel of the VAZ 2110 car. We will tell you more about this below.

Control panel of the domestic "ten"

What to do if the instrument panel does not light up and does not work? How is the instrument panel tuned and how should it be disassembled if necessary? First of all, let's take a look at its structure.

The instrument cluster of the car includes the following elements:

• a tachometer that allows you to monitor the number of revolutions of the internal combustion engine;
• speedometer showing the speed of movement;
• fuel level controller in the tank;
• temperature controller of the power unit, namely antifreeze in the cooling system;
• control indicators, which should be 12;
• diode indicators of the VAZ 2110 instrument panel suspension;
• a reserve socket, in which the control lamp is turned on;
• several pads for connecting cables.

It should be noted that the red block on the wiring diagram is marked with the X2 symbols, and the white block with the X1 symbols, so it will not be possible to confuse these elements. If we talk directly about the control panel "tens", then these cars use several types of dashboards located on the torpedo. In this case, the majority depends on the year of manufacture of the vehicle - the car can be equipped with either an old or a new version of the tidy.

1. One of the features of the old panel is that all devices are installed symmetrically in it.
2. In the control panel of the new sample, several indicators - the temperature of the power unit and the level of gasoline - are located with a slight shift to the right.

Dashboard wire pinout

If the devices do not work, the bulbs stop burning, often the only way out is to disassemble the panels. In practice, certain components may well fail to work, the disassembly and diagnostics procedure, as a rule, helps to solve the problem. However, before repairing the VAZ 2110 instrument panel, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the pinout of the shield. This is done in order to understand where this or that wire leads and what function it performs, what safety elements are used, etc.

In principle, “reading” the disassembled flap is not a problem, especially since all the necessary information can be found in the service manual for the operation of the vehicle. If you have such a book and a machine at hand, as well as a desire, you can solve any problems in the operation of the control panel without the help of an electrician.

Tidy "tens" with installed LEDs

The control panel can stop working for several reasons.

As a rule, the removal of the instrument panel is carried out in the event of such malfunctions:

In fact, most of the malfunctions associated with the functioning of the control panel are often solved independently at home. Especially when it comes to the top ten product of the domestic auto industry. But there are a few things to consider here. If you do not have experience or knowledge in terms of working with electrics and electronics, then you should not engage in self-repairs. Better contact a qualified technician. Let you pay the money, but you will be sure that everything will be done correctly.

Sorry, there are currently no polls available.

Hello.Today at VAZ Repair we will talk about the dashboard or “tidy” as it is commonly called. In this article, you will learn how to remove the dashboard on a VAZ 2110 with your own hands quickly and correctly. But before starting this work, a few words about why you need to remove the tidy on the VAZ 2110. Removing the "tidy on the top ten" is extremely rare, but be that as it may, sometimes you have to deal with this, so it is important to know how to properly remove the instrument panel on a VAZ 2110.

1. So, the first thing to do is, using a screwdriver, unscrew the two self-tapping screws located at the top of the tidy.

1. Then, with the same screwdriver, unscrew the two bolts that are located at the bottom of the dashboard.

1. Gently pull the plastic cover over and set it aside so as not to interfere.

1. We unscrew the two self-tapping screws with which the tidy is attached directly.

1. Now we turn off first the first, and then the second power block of the dashboard.

1. We pull the panel towards ourselves, it should slide off the brackets.

1. When dashboard completely dismantled, you can proceed to further work, in our case it is the replacement of faulty bulbs.

1. Mounting the bulbs is nowhere easier - we grab the lamp body, make a twist and take it out of the socket. We install a new one in its place.

Further assembly is carried out in the reverse order according to the same principle.
