Repair of the heater damper vaz 2110 DIY repair

In detail: repair of the vaz 2110 heater damper DIY repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Stove VAZ 2110 perhaps the most problematic and capricious mechanism in the entire car design. A stove or a faulty interior heater radiator on a VAZ 2110 is indispensable, given our cold climate. If in the summer a non-working stove may not bother you, then with the onset of the cold season it often turns out that the stove on the VAZ-2110 is blowing cold air. Today we will try to tell you in great detail about the device, repair and replacement of the heater on the “top ten”. For clarity, we will supplement the text with photos and videos.

Let's say right away that the design of the heating system on the “top ten” is fundamentally different from what was on the old VAZ models. The most important feature and difference between the interior heater is that stove radiator VAZ 2110 and its fan is not in the passenger compartment, but in the engine compartment. This design has its advantages, for example, to replace the heater radiator or stove fan, you do not need to completely disassemble the front panel (dashboard).

Another important difference is the electronic control of climatic processes in the cabin. For this, a so-called automatic heater control system (SAUO). Photo of the SAUO block below.

By the way, the SAUO unit on the “dozens” of different years of manufacture is different. Since 1996, 4 types of SAUO controller have been produced. This should be taken into account when buying a unit as a spare part. It is this device that controls the temperature in the cabin and the operation of the fan. The temperature can be set from 16 to 28 degrees.

But how does this miracle device work? There is a temperature sensor or a ceiling air sensor with a built-in (very small) fan for air circulation on the ceiling of the “dozens” cabin. It is this sensor that sends information about the real temperature in the cabin, and the SAUO unit gives a command to the micro gear motor (MMP), which, in turn, opens or closes the main damper, which is responsible for the access of hot air to the cabin. When the temperature in the passenger compartment changes, the ceiling sensor gives a new signal, the micro geared motor is triggered by turning the damper, closing or opening the hot air access to the passenger compartment. Thus, the set temperature is automatically maintained. Further photo of the diagram of the air ducts of the VAZ 2110 heater.

Many owners of "ten" complain that at some point the stove constantly blows cold air and no turning of the handles of the automatic control system of the heater can save the situation in any way. There can be a lot of problems and malfunctions. For example, the SAUO controller itself, the ceiling sensor or the micro gear motor, which simply does not open or close the damper, is faulty. Another reason is the air (airlock) in the heater radiator, which is simply not able to heat the air passing through it. Further schematic image of the heater device VAZ 2110.

Often the reason for the poor performance of the heater "tens" is stove damper vaz 2110... The flap may not close tightly or open well. The heater flap itself is made of plastic, which can deform over time and work poorly. Many car owners buy a metal flap and change it on their own. How to check the performance and assess the condition of the stove damper? Quite simply, remove the central air duct deflector and here it is! We look at the photo.

Then you carefully examine the damper, turn on the stove, turn the regulators on the SAUO unit and see if the damper works at all. How does it move, whether it fits snugly. If she does not respond to commands, then the problem may not be in her at all. For one thing, you can see if the lever for redirecting the airflow from the glass to the legs works.

It is quite simple to determine the operability of the stove fan by noise. If the fan motor burns out, then naturally it will no longer work. True, before rushing to change the stove fan, you must make sure that the fuse has not blown. As we wrote above stove fan VAZ 2110 located not in the cabin, but in the engine compartment. To get to it, you will need to remove a special apron that separates the engine compartment from the heater housing, the vacuum brake booster and the wiper mechanism. The photo itself is below for clarity.

So we got to the stove fan, removing the apron and the heater cover. By the way, next to you you will see a cabin filter, in the casing a little to the left. It must be pulled out and cleaned. If no one has changed the filter before you, for many years of operation it is seriously clogged with debris and interferes with normal air circulation, which is sucked into the VAZ 2110 interior.

The radiator of the “tens” stove is located in the same place as the fan, that is, under the hood (see photo above). To remove it, you must first remove the fan from the heater casing. If you notice a strange smell in the cabin, lift the rugs, if there are puddles of antifreeze or antifreeze, then stove radiator VAZ 2110 drip. Although they may no longer hold the clamps ... in any case, you will have to disassemble and find out the cause of the leak. Next, we offer a couple of video clips demonstrating the process of disassembling, removing the apron, stove fan, cabin filter and heater radiator.
