DIY vaz 2110 generator stator repair

In detail: do-it-yourself repair of the stator of a VAZ 2110 generator from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Is the belt OK, the alternator is spinning, but the battery is not receiving a charge? Do not rush to rush to the service station, giving away your hard-earned money, because self-disassembly and repair of the VAZ 2110 generator, maintenance and repair can be done by almost any motorist. It is enough just to get acquainted with a modest theoretical base.

We remove the generator from the hood of the car:

In order to repair the VAZ 2110 generator, you first need to remove it from the car by loosening the belt tension and loosening the mounting bolts. Let's take a closer look at the process of dismantling it:

  1. 1. Disconnect the battery power by removing and swinging its negative terminal to the side;
  2. 2. Disconnect the generator excitation wire plug. Throw aside the protective cap and use a 10 key to unscrew the contact nut of the B + clamp, remove the wires;
  3. 3. Completely unscrew the belt tension adjusting bolt;
  4. 4. Unscrew the upper and lower fastening nuts of the VAZ generator, remove the bolts from the mounting holes together with the tension bar;
  5. 5. Now the generator is free and can be easily removed from the hood of the car.

Dismantling the VAZ 2110 generator

To check the operation of the generator components, it is necessary to sequentially disassemble it, for which it is necessary:

  1. 1. Fold back the plastic protective casing by prying three fastening latches with a screwdriver;
  2. 2. The voltage regulator in this model of the VAZ 2110 generator is made on a common monolithic structure with graphite brushes and is fastened with two bolts;
  3. 3. Unscrew them and remove the voltage regulator to the side;
  4. 4. Unscrew the M10 nut of the B + terminal. Remove the grover, washer from the mounting bolt and disconnect the capacitor terminal;
  5. 5. Disconnect the capacitor, which is mounted on a bolt under a screwdriver cross;
  6. 6. To remove the rectifier unit - it is necessary to unscrew the four fastening bolts, which are also the contacts of the terminals for the stator windings;
  7. 7. Now, turning aside the stator winding leads, you can disconnect the rectifier unit.

Please note that it is already possible to draw certain conclusions about the condition of the generator by separately checking the voltage regulator, capacitor, rectifier unit and the condition of the graphite brushes. If the problem goes deeper, we continue to repair the VAZ 2110 generator with our own hands. It remains only to remove the rotor and stator windings, for which:

  1. 1. Remove the back cover by unscrewing the four mounting bolts with the grovers. Prying it off with a screwdriver, it should give in to the force relatively easily, jumping off the rotor bearing seat. Previously, it is worth making notes on the stator housing and covers, in order to then put them in exactly the same position;
  2. 2. Having clamped the rotor of the VAZ generator in a vice (control the force so as not to deform the shaft), unscrew the fastening nut of the pulley with the grover and remove the pulley from the front of the shaft. Don't forget the thrust washer.

Almost everything is ready. Now you can remove the stator and rotor from the housing for checking and diagnostics. If necessary, the bearings are removed with a special puller. Check the lubrication in them, the presence of play (wear) and extraneous noise when turning.

After the procedure for the final disassembly of the generator, it will not be superfluous to check the condition of its stator and rotor windings for breakage and penetration into the housing. Do-it-yourself generator repair VAZ 2110 will require a multimeter (a multifunctional device that measures electrical quantities. It can cost from 150 rubles to 1000 or more, depending on the quality and manufacturer). The cheapest is enough for you.

Checking the generator with a tester

  1. one.Check the resistance of the rotor winding with a device against the slip rings. It doesn't have to show infinity;
  2. 2. Immediately check the condition of the manifold running surface. It must be perfect. Otherwise, they require grinding, grooving on a lathe, or making new ones;
  3. 3. Relative to the case (ferromagnetic core), the resistance of the multimeter should show infinity;
  4. 4. Similarly, check the condition of the stator windings for integrity and breakdown with respect to the housing. Resistance in all three dimensions (relative to the three working leads) should be the same or with slight deviations.

Repair of the VAZ 2110 generator can also be caused by problems with the diodes of the rectifier unit and the voltage regulator. In both cases, their diagnosis will not be difficult.

Functionally, each diode must pass current, like a water valve, in only one direction. Thus, the multimeter set for continuity of the electronics will show the resistance of the diodes only with direct connection of the measuring terminals (about 300-500 Ohm) and infinity with the opposite.

Checking the operation of the voltage regulator is somewhat more difficult. It is advisable to get acquainted with the photo, which explains the principle of its action. The main task of the LV is to protect the battery from overcharging by controlling the level of the voltage produced by the generator from the rectifier bridge at a level of 14 V.

Welcome!
A generator is an electrical device that delivers current to the car's on-board network and charges the battery when the engine is running, if it fails, then the first problem that starts with the car is the battery charge lamp (we'll talk about this lamp a little later) and on the car in the direct sense after that you can't drive, the whole point is that the ignition system of any car that runs on gasoline consumes electricity and conducts it (high-voltage wires, spark plugs and other units are supplied with electricity), thereby the engine is running, and if suddenly the battery runs out and current will no longer be supplied to the on-board network, then the car will simply stall and will not start again until the battery is charged again.

Note!
To carry out the generator repair procedure, you will need to stock up on: Necessarily a multi-meter and, if possible, a control lamp, as well as a screwdriver, various kinds of keys (spanners, caps, and so on), in addition, you will also need a marker and a fine-grained skin!

Summary:

Note!
As you already understood, the best way to check is with the help of a multi-meter, which has a voltmeter function (and everyone has one), so if you still decide to check it, then remember the current that should be on the battery when the engine is running is equal to about 13-14.5 volts, if it is less then either the battery is completely discharged, or the generator has become unusable, in this case, try to accelerate, for this, briefly press the gas pedal and remove your foot from it, if the current supply has increased, then the battery is discharged , if nothing happened, then try to do this again and remember, if the current is less than 12 volts, which is no longer acceptable, then after a very short time the battery will be completely discharged and you will no longer be able to start the car (To start the car, you need at least 11.5 volts , if the battery produces less, then starting the engine will already be problematic)!

Note!
The generator is not very difficult to understand, it is difficult to check it, especially if you don’t know how to use the multi-meter, and even if you can, there may still be errors, it’s just that the multi-meter will not always be able to show accurate data (Each has its own error) and therefore we recommend that you, before proceeding to work on disassembly, simply disconnect the cover from the generator and check the brushes (They most often fail) and, if necessary, replace them with new ones (By the way, if only one brushes are worn out, then even the generator can not be removed from the car,just disconnect the cover from it and, armed with a short screwdriver, unscrew the two screws that fasten the voltage regulator and then take out the regulator, look at the very brushes that are located on it and which must be replaced with strong wear)!

Disassembly:
1) First, remove it (How to remove a generator, read the article: "Replacing a generator on VAZ cars"), then on the sides, bend three latches that attach the plastic cover, thanks to which dirt and water does not get into the generator, after the latches will be bent (just do not break them), remove the cover from the generator and put it aside, as shown in the small photo.

2) Then unscrew the two side screws that attach the voltage regulator to the generator (the screws are indicated by red arrows, and the regulator itself is blue) and then remove the regulator from the generator, well, only when you take it off, disconnect the wiring from it like in the photo in the corner shown, otherwise the regulator simply will not be removed from the car generator.

4) After that, unscrew the four screws that secure the diode bridge to the generator and bend the three wire leads that are connected to the diode bridge so that they allow it to be removed and do not interfere at all, after the operation done, do not rush to remove the diode bridge, but unscrew another screw that the capacitor secures or unscrew the nut that secures the wire coming from it, and only then can you remove the diode bridge from the generator, you can read more about this capacitor below.

Note!
Capacitor - thanks to it, the current coming from the diode bridge is leveled and goes to the battery more even, without interruptions and without strong fluctuations, you can remove it both together with the diode bridge, and separately, if you want together, just unscrew the screw that secures it (Indicated red arrow) and then remove, if you want separately, then unscrew the nut which attaches the capacitor wire to the hairpin (indicated by the blue arrow) and then remove this wire from the hairpin!

5) Next, take the marker in your hands and make a mark on both covers as shown in the small photo, after these marks are made, unscrew four screws in a circle (Three of them are indicated by arrows, one is not visible) and disconnect both covers.

6) Next, unscrew the nut that secures the generator pulley (It is indicated by the red arrow) and then remove the pulley, it can be most easily unscrewed by clamping the rotor (This is only when the covers are already disconnected) in a vice, but just clamp it gently, and even better put some cloth, as soon as the nut is unscrewed, remove the rotor shaft from the bearing which is in the cover (see small photo), then remove the spacer ring from the shaft and inspect it.

7) And at the end of all operations, inspect the last parts and check some of them, namely, inspect both covers, there should be no cracks or traces of deformation on them, check both bearings (Front and rear), they must rotate normally, do not stick where they should not and grease should not flow from them either, otherwise the bearings are pressed out using a special puller and replaced with new ones, then take the stator in your hands and inspect it, it should be in good condition and there should be absolutely no bare wiring, using a test lamp, check it, for this, turn on the control to the 220 Volt network and alternately connect it between all the terminals as shown in photo 1, with each connection the lamp should light up, otherwise the stator is faulty and the stator still needs to be checked if it does not close to ground, this is also done easily and with the help of the same control lamp, see f from 2, there the lamp is alternately connected to all terminals of the stator winding, and the wire from the current source to the stator case, but only in this case the lamp should not light, if it is on, then this means that there is a short circuit and the stator must be replaced with a new one.

Assembly:
All the parts are assembled in the reverse order, only during assembly, orient the covers as they were installed before (Everything is done according to the marks), and the spring washer of the generator pulley will need to be placed with the convex side to the nut and the pulley fastening nut, tighten with a torque of 39- 62 N • m (3.9-b, 2 kgf • m), which can be done with a torque wrench and what else, during assembly, orient the capacitor (if you removed it together with the diode bridge) relative to the mounting protrusion on the cover , just like it is in the photo below.
