Repair retractor relay vaz 2110 DIY repair

In detail: repair of the solenoid relay VAZ 2110 DIY repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

It is known that a car cannot drive without a starter. It seems to be a simple electric motor, but without it, nowhere. It is possible to start a piston unit with a failed "starting" unit only from a pusher, but perhaps only for a trip to a car service specialist.

The reasons for the breakdown of such a critical mechanism are quite obvious. Most diseases can be cured if you repair the starter yourself. We list further the main sources of malfunctions:

  • natural wear and tear of the elements of the electric motor;
  • water ingress during washing the engine of the car;
  • improper operation of the unit, for example, prolonged periods of operation of the electric motor after starting the motor;
  • short circuits.


Do-it-yourself partial repair of the starter usually saves from all this. That is, it is not at all necessary to buy a whole new unit. Next, we will consider which specific elements are failing, how to make a starter repair with your own hands.

Preliminarily, we note that according to the symptoms when turning the ignition key, it is necessary to separate the types of malfunctions of the starting electric motor. If, for example, a click or crack is heard after turning the key, then the problem is in the retractor cylinder. The latter can be replaced completely.

To begin with, we will analyze how to make a starter repair with our own hands on VAZ cars. First, let's take the very first of the cars in this line.

To repair a VAZ 2101 with our own hands, we will use the tools listed below:
  • set of wrenches;
  • flat and cross screwdrivers;
  • sandpaper;
  • heads.

So, we start work by opening the hood.

  1. Disconnect the terminals from the battery.
  2. Dismantle the air filter housing with a filter element.
  3. We unscrew the three nuts securing the electric motor to the motor.
  4. We disconnect the wires, after taking photographs of the connections.
  5. We remove the defective device.
  6. Perhaps the so-called "pants" - the exhaust pipe, will interfere with this, then you will have to unscrew four bolts and "lower the pants".
  7. Separate the retraction cylinder from the dismantled element by disconnecting the wire and unscrewing three screws. We inspect it, if necessary, replace it completely.
  8. After unscrewing the bolts, remove the motor cover.
  9. Having unscrewed two bolts, dismantle the cover.
  10. We separate the windings from the brush holder plates, remove the insulating tube.
  11. We separate the cover from the side of the collector.
  12. We take out the brushes of the electric motor with a screwdriver. We measure them, replace them if necessary.
  13. We disassemble the drive of the defective assembly unit. To do this, remove the cotter pin, then remove the drive lever, disengage the drive from the clutch, and then remove it.
  14. We inspect the windings of the electric motor.
  15. If necessary, press out, after which we replace the bushings of the assembly.
  16. We clean elements with carbon deposits or deposits. We replace the failed parts with new parts.
