How much does it cost to install a hydraulic booster on a VAZ 2114

2001 was the year of the appearance of a new project from the domestic automaker AvtoVAZ. The model had two names - Samara-2 or VAZ 2114. In fact, it was an improved version of the well-known nine.


EUR kit

The modernization turned out to be very serious, affecting literally all components of the car. The steering system was no exception. Unlike many other models produced by AvtoVAZ, the 2114 offered a choice of two power steering units - hydraulic power steering and electric power steering .

Types and advantages of power steering

The steering of the VAZ 2114 has undergone significant changes when compared with its predecessors in the form of the first generation Samara. Driving has become really better.


Installation kit

Customers had the opportunity to choose between electric power steering and power steering, that is, electric power steering and power steering. But how do these systems differ from each other, which one should you prefer and why? Let's try to figure this out.

Electric booster


Diagram of an electromechanical amplifier
The task of the car owner, whose car has an EUR installed, is to constantly monitor the condition of the unit. A special controller is responsible for the operation of current pulses. With its help, the driver can independently set the degree of gain.

The EUR performs several tasks.

  1. It has a positive effect on handling, maneuverability, perfectly holds the car on the road, and allows you to feel the car. Remove the electric booster, and driving becomes a complete test of the driver's nerves and physical fitness.
  2. It copes well with temperature changes, which are especially typical for the Russian climate. Even extremely low temperatures do not affect the electric power steering, which allows the entire steering system of the car to adequately withstand such operating conditions.
  3. The power from the electric booster has a positive effect on fuel consumption. By adjusting the degree of gain, you thereby control the appetite of your car. So the appearance of EUR on the VAZ 2114 became a landmark event for the domestic automobile industry.

Power steering

The hydraulic booster includes a large number of elements that require not only constant monitoring, but also careful handling.

Despite the rather complex technology, power steering is effective, safe, provides comfortable control, and allows you to control the behavior of the car even if the front wheels break down.

Alas, the hydraulic booster is not without its drawbacks. The main one is frequent breakdowns. They arise mainly due to leakage of working fluid.

The functions of the power steering are as follows:

  • The car becomes more obedient, maneuvers well, and responds to the driver’s steering input;
  • Provides softening of impacts on the steering wheel when passing difficult road sections. There are more than enough of these in our country;
  • The hydraulic booster is ideal for regular driving on country roads. In this component, the electric amplifier is significantly inferior to the power steering;
  • The driver feels the road better, makes timely decisions, and the system responds to them;
  • Strengthening due to the working fluid allows you to reduce the number of revolutions of the steering wheel rim to perform maneuvers. This saves the driver's effort.

Change of oil

So, opening the hood we can see the first and most noticeable element, which includes the power steering. In general, the remaining elements fit into the steering gear housing and are no longer distributed throughout the engine compartment and car body. We will also immediately need some kind of container into which we will drain the already used liquid. Anything can fit, even a bucket, even a canister. We do not recommend that you throw away the drained oil; it will be quite useful in some minor repairs just for lubrication. Under no circumstances should you add it to the already new oil of your VAZ 2114: the oil must be homogeneous. You also need to let the car engine cool down so that everything cools down and if the oil gets on your hands, it doesn’t burn your skin.

Now we need to drain the oil from the expansion tank. To do this, you need to uncork the lid and carefully pull out the hose that sticks out at the bottom of the tank.

In its place, you immediately need to insert the hose that is lowered into the container that we prepared in advance to drain the already used liquid. Now, under the influence of gravity, the oil will slowly ooze into our container.

The next step is to start the engine, and you immediately need to start turning the steering wheel from side to side so that the pump begins to pump oil through the system through the tank, and little of it will be poured into the container. This procedure must be done until the power steering stops working and the steering wheel stops moving. Thus, it turned out that there was no fluid left in the steering system of the VAZ 2114.

Now you need to immediately proceed to pouring new oil. We must turn off the engine and return to its place the hose that was originally at the bottom of the tank. Fill two-thirds of the oil tank level and start the engine. Now you need to turn the steering wheel again from side to side so that the power steering is pumped with oil and the air is released from the system.

You also need to leave the tank lid open to allow air to escape. As the liquid leaves the tank, we will need to add oil. You will have to turn the steering wheel until the oil stops leaving, after which you need to tightly seal the tank.

That's all, this is exactly how the working fluid is replaced in the amplifier of a VAZ 2114 car. As you can see, there is nothing complicated about it, you can easily do it yourself and even without help. The oil must be selected carefully so that it is ideally suited to the design of this car.

Disadvantages of power steering and electric power steering


Connection
To answer this question, it is necessary to consider not only the positive aspects of this or that amplifier, which we have already done, but also point out their main disadvantages.

What is better for the VAZ 2114? Let's try to figure this out.

  1. The hydraulic booster does not allow additional fuel savings, but the efficiency of the electric booster is sometimes too low.
  2. The hydraulic booster has a weak element - the pump. He has to be checked regularly to monitor his condition. It so happens that on the VAZ 2114 this component is not reliable.

With this short list the list of shortcomings can be completed. But it is worth paying attention to some nuances.

Possible problems

Some drivers note that in a VAZ 2114 with a hydraulic booster, the control system becomes as if weightless. This can be confusing. When the gain is lost, the steering wheel has to be turned more often.


Wiring

As for replacing the hydraulic booster with an electric booster, this is a more than possible option for improving the car. It is considered one of the simplest but most effective types of technical tuning. However, it is strongly not recommended to perform such operations yourself.

Choose specialized car services that specialize in technical modifications and tuning of the car. AvtoVAZ cars, which include the VAZ 2114, are beautiful because they are literally created for tuning. Many young drivers choose the “fourteenth” model as their first car. This is due to the wide possibilities for modification with minimal investment. This car lends itself perfectly to external tuning, and the current spare parts market makes it possible to improve the internal filling. This includes replacing the power steering with electric power steering.

Installation of EUR

How much does this pleasure cost?
And where can I get it? Ivan, this pleasure costs about 16 thousand rubles.

I bought everything, who can install it?

Does Samara 2 have its own EUR or can it be installed from Kalina?

Hello Ivan! Which EUR kit should I buy for Priopa or Kalina?

If noticeable scratches appear on the body of your car, do not rush to have the car repainted at an auto service center. Small paint chips, cracks, scuffs and scratches can be repaired yourself using a regular can of paint.

A story article that talks about how a guy repaired the heater of a BAZ 2110. From it you will learn why the heater in this car can malfunction, how it can be repaired repair, and why it is better to immediately contact a car service.

The article will be useful to owners of the VAZ 2109. It is dedicated to repairing the gearbox. Here it is explained how the malfunction occurs, typical problems and how to fix them. You will learn how to determine that the oil has expired.

Electric power steering on the VAZ-2114 is installed only by the owners; none of the cars were equipped with such devices from the factory. But to increase comfort and improve control, motorists install electric amplifiers from Priora or Kalina.

Minor difficulties may arise during installation. But it will be much more difficult to pass the technical inspection. Essentially, you are tampering with the steering design, which is strictly prohibited by traffic rules. The driver has no right to make changes to either the steering or the brake system.

I have this problem on my Priora. In short, I go to work, get into the car, start it, warm it up, start to move away and the EUR turns off, and only by the end of the evening it doesn’t seem to work for me. I decided to check the charging and this is what happened: with the engine running 13.9, with a stove 13.7, with dimensions and a stove 13.5, with low beam and with a stove and dimensions 13.3 and all together and the high beam in general 13, I think that’s why the EUR turns off because it doesn’t have enough power, I think There's something wrong with my generator, who knows?

Is there any difference with the gur from the Priora?

Is there any way to do this without drilling holes in the engine shield?

intermediate shaft from a two-wheeler with a steering wheel? And the rest remains standard?

Well done. I only dream about this in my dreams))

nothing complicated, you just need to find the gur himself at an attractive price

I thought that the power steering couldn’t be stuck on a cap, but then I found this. Cool, good job!)

Well, thank you! Info is what you need. ! I'll install it for myself.

The other day I bought myself a rack with power steering and a pump, everything is almost new for 4.5 I got this pleasure. I would like to know more about the brackets

Could you post pictures of where and how I secured the tank... and I can’t tighten the belt, what’s the easiest way to do this? and I would also like to surprise you with how you laid the return line

the return line on the right side is secured to the standard bolts of the steering rack boot on top of the heater hoses, the reservoir is secured on an additional support by turning the bracket over and sawing off the excess, the belt is installed like this: you put the generator on, pass the belt and pulley through it, take the steering wheel in your hands and pass it through it belt and pull it with your hands until the steering wheel falls into place; if you put the 940 in, it will whistle!

Could you post pictures of where and how I secured the tank... and I can’t tighten the belt, what’s the easiest way to do this? and I would also like to surprise you with how you laid the return line

I'll take some pictures tomorrow and try to add them

You've started something dangerous, judging by the photos, handsome guy) I thought about installing an EUR for myself, but then I realized that it's not worth it)

How to install electric power steering on Samara-2 and is it worth it?

VAZ 2114 cars are supplied for sale with steering systems that allow the installation of a hydraulic or electric power steering wheel. The EUR is a unit used to ensure smoother and, importantly, comfortable driving by easily turning the steering wheel. You can learn more about how to install the EUR on a VAZ 2114 from this material.

Composition selection

When choosing, you first need to decide on the temperature viscosity. There are all-season lubricants that are designed for use in a wide range of ambient temperatures. There are seasonal formulations that are only applicable in winter/autumn or spring/summer. If a car travels about 7–9 thousand kilometers in six months, it makes sense to use seasonal motor oil for the VAZ 2114.

There is no clear answer to the question of which oil is better. All products are different and the choice depends on the operating conditions of the vehicle. Naturally, provided that the composition is created using high-quality ingredients. But the peculiarities of the automotive market do not allow manufacturers to save on raw materials. You can trust the tolerances and specifications on the bottles.

The following approvals from European manufacturers meet AVTOVAZ requirements:

  • Daimler MB-Approval 229.3 and 229.5;
  • Volkswagen VW50200 / VW50500;
  • GM/Opel Longlife;
  • BMW Longlife 01;
  • TOTAL QUARTZ 9000 5W40;
  • ZIC X5;
  • Shell Helix HX7;
  • Visco 2000.

Synthetics, semi-synthetics, mineral water

When changing oil on a VAZ 2114, the question always arises about the type of composition that should be used. There is ongoing debate among car enthusiasts about this. When choosing, you need to know that:

  • synthetics are always more expensive, but have a long service life and work well under heavy loads;
  • It is not recommended to switch from more complex to simpler oils (from synthetics to semi-synthetics, from semi-synthetics to mineral);
  • when switching to a more complex composition, flush the engine.

The feasibility of installing EUR

Does it make sense to install power steering (power steering) or power steering on the “four”? In this case, it is impossible to give a universal answer, since it is unique for each motorist. Of course, with power steering or electric power steering, the process of turning the steering wheel will be easier, making driving more comfortable. But there is another side to the issue - firstly, the cost of the power steering or electric power steering kit, as well as the rather complicated installation of the system yourself. In general, it’s up to you to decide, but if you decide to install an electric booster on your car, we will help you with the installation.


Installation kit for electric power steering for the "four"

Connection to electrical equipment

The electric power steering control unit takes a signal from the speed and crankshaft speed sensors. Connection to the vehicle electrical systems is carried out as follows:

  1. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.
  2. Locate the spare sockets in the fuse box. You need to connect the device through them. Find the reserve wire in the harness, connect the power supply to the electric power steering unit.
  3. If it is not possible to use backup sockets, then you need to power the electric amplifier from the ignition switch through a fuse. So that when the ignition is turned off, the electric drive does not work.
  4. The negative power wire must be connected to the car body.

At this point, the connection of the power section can be considered complete. Connecting controls is done as follows:

  1. The speed sensor must be connected to the right chip.
  2. The wire coming from the tachometer must be connected to the left chip.
  3. Install both chips on the electric power steering.

This completes the connection. You can install electric power steering on a VAZ-2114 with your own hands without any problems. But it’s better to do all this at a service station so that the technicians can issue you a document confirming the correct installation of the equipment. Only in this case will you get rid of problems during maintenance.

Detailed Installation Guide

So, if you decide to install electric power steering on a VAZ 2114, then you need to take into account that you will also have to replace the steering column itself. In particular, instead of a standard device, you will need to install a column with an electric drive; accordingly, our repair process will begin with the wiring. You will need to deal with all the connectors and connectors, because you must do everything beautifully, without any twisting of the wires. The block has a special terminal that you will need to remove and then install it on the connector in the harness.

The free terminal of this connector is installed in the place where the standard wiring ran; no special harnesses or adapters are required for this. You only need to connect two 4 square cables to the battery. To ensure the safety of this section of the electrical circuit, it is additionally necessary to install a 50 ampere safety element.

Next, using the so-called weak current, that is, not a power wire, you need to connect to the following elements:

  • tachometer, used to display the number of revolutions of the engine crankshaft;
  • a speed sensor used to indicate the speed of the vehicle;
  • mass, that is, the car body;
  • diagnostic K-line;
  • as well as to the control light (the author of the video about installing the unit at home is the sokur64 channel).

After completing these steps, you will need to diagnose the presence of a tachometer signal, as well as a speedometer.

If there are signals, then the further installation procedure is as follows:

  1. The plastic casing on the steering column, where the switches are installed, as well as the ignition switch, is dismantled. To do this, you need to unscrew all the bolts that secure the protective cover.
  2. Then you need to unscrew the screw installed on the rail and dismantle it. At this point, you will need to determine how much the size of the assembly installed during production differs from the size that will be used.
  3. At the next stage, the shaft is mounted directly on the electric amplifier. After this, the shaft itself must be fixed at the installation site.
  4. The next step is to configure the electrical circuit. It is necessary to run two wires from the vehicle interior to the battery; alternatively, this can be done through the left fender. To do this, you must first dismantle the expansion tank of the washer system, and then, using the hardest and thickest wire, stretch it. You need to try to get to the engine compartment.
  5. When the end of the wire appears in the engine compartment, you need to attach the wiring to it. Next, both wires will need to be pulled out along with the wire itself.
  6. Having completed all these steps, we proceed to one of the main steps - connecting the electric amplifier electronics. Under the dashboard in the “four” there is a special red block, inside of which there is an orange cable. The EUR contact itself must be connected to this wire. The same actions are performed with the gray wire.
  7. Then the power ends are connected. Pink and black wires are connected to the battery, pink to the positive terminal, black to the negative. At this point, the installation process can be considered complete. Check the functionality of the installed system and, if necessary, adjust the device.

Step-by-step instructions for changing the oil filter

Choosing an additive for power steering
Replacing the oil filter on a VAZ 2114 begins with the preparatory process

During it, attention is paid to a number of main points that allow you to independently replace the filter element without contacting specialists

At the initial stage, all consumables and components are purchased. In addition to the oil and filter, you will need preventive replacement of gaskets, rubber bands and other parts. If necessary, the system is checked and worn connections are identified.

To work, you will need a level place; if available, use an overpass, a lift or an inspection hole. If this is not possible, a jack and supports will do. To drain and fill the lubricant, the vehicle must be raised evenly.

At the same time, pay attention to warming up the engine. It improves oil circulation and ensures complete drainage from the system. However, taking into account the temperature of the lubricant and the engine itself, pay attention to safety precautions

However, taking into account the temperature of the lubricant and the engine itself, attention is paid to safety precautions. The main emphasis is on the possibility of burns due to a warm engine and lubricant toxicity

In this context, it is recommended to carry out all work in special clothing and rubber gloves. It is also not allowed to drain used oil onto the ground or into wastewater.

The main emphasis is on the possibility of burns due to a warm engine and lubricant toxicity. In this context, it is recommended to carry out all work in special clothing and rubber gloves. It is also not allowed to drain used oil onto the ground or into wastewater.

Taking into account the above requirements, the following equipment will be needed to replace the oil filter:

  • unnecessary old clothes, rubber gloves;
  • container for draining used lubricating fluid;
  • a set of screwdrivers, keys, a collar with attachments, a probe;
  • new oil and funnel for filling;
  • new filter element.

The list of necessary tools for replacing the oil filter in a VAZ 2114 also includes a special collar for unscrewing the casing. It is usually removed by hand, but additional equipment may be required.

The list also includes parts and components to replace worn connections.

Particular attention is paid to gaskets and sealants - the lack of tightness and unreliability of these elements can lead to the formation of leaks

The general procedure for independently replacing the oil filter in a VAZ 2114 involves the following stages:

after the engine has warmed up, uncork the filler neck in the engine compartment; in the lower part, remove the engine protective casing, if any; Place a container for draining oil under the drain plug and uncork the drain; While the lubricating fluid is draining, check the plug and change the washer; then the container is moved under the filter, the casing is unscrewed; when removing a used cartridge, pay attention to the components - the perforated rod must remain in place, the rubber seals must be changed; soak the new filter with oil, install it in place, monitor the position of the seals - they should not come out of their grooves; the casing is tightened, the drain plug is also clogged, the system is returned to its original state; New oil is poured into the system; in terms of its quantity, they are guided by the drained volume.

After filling, the engine is warmed up for 10-15 minutes until the lubricant fills all mechanisms. After this, check the oil level - in a heated and cooled state, it should not go beyond the permissible limits of the dipstick.

Within a few days after replacement, it is recommended to check the level and condition of the lubricant, as well as inspect the system for loose connections and leaks. If signs of malfunction are detected, repairs are carried out and, if necessary, contact specialists.

The nuances of adjusting the steering wheel position

If you are not satisfied with the position of the steering wheel or its height, this can be corrected by adjustment. To do this, it is necessary to grind the edges of the industrial shaft to the required dimensions or install gaskets between the device body and the plate. When making adjustments, you must remember that the EUR itself is automatically turned off when the vehicle speed exceeds 50 km/h.

Price issue

The cost of electric power steering for a VAZ 2114 car may vary, depending on the store where it is purchased, as well as the region of the country. On average, the price for a complete system set varies around 22-24 thousand rubles. On the Internet, you can search for stores where the EUR kit is sold on promotions - with a discount from the seller, you can purchase the unit for 20 thousand rubles.

How to make repairs

Repair of the electric power steering is carried out depending on what exactly has failed. If the amplifier itself breaks down, this is not such a serious problem, since the vehicle can be driven without it. But, for example, if the control unit of this mechanism “flies”, then this problem is already quite serious. To carry out repairs, you need to remove it from the car. To do this, you need to remove the steering wheel to gain access to the control unit.

After this, you need to remove the decorative plastic trim. By removing the plate you can see our block. Before disconnecting it from the system, it is advisable to disconnect the battery. Next, unscrew all the mounting bolts and disconnect the device.

Now you can check how worn it is, whether it can be fixed or whether it can only be saved by replacing it with a new one. As a rule, to determine the breakdown, you need to remove the steering wheel and EUR. This way we have a better chance of finding faults.

To extend the life of your car's electric power steering, it is recommended to operate it correctly.

  • Try to avoid any mechanical or physical impact on the amplifier or its relay. If it so happens that this mechanism falls out of your hands (at the time of installation), it must be checked for damage, and if any are present on any parts, they must be replaced.
  • It is not recommended to expose the system's electronic devices to moisture or high temperatures.
  • Do not touch the contacts on the connectors, as this may cause them to become deformed.
  • After the control unit has been replaced with a new one, it is necessary to carry out adjustment (calibration). This is necessary in order to set the zero point of the sensor indicating the speed of the car.
  • It is also recommended to avoid any mechanical or physical interference with the steering column assembly.

Installation and connection of the EUR steering wheel from Priora in VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115

I rode my father’s viburnum and realized that there was no escaping progress, especially since I plan to change the rack by 3.2, or even 2.5 turns, and without an amplifier there will be no life at all. I bought it at Stinger. The kit includes everything you need: 1. The amplifier itself (a new model, not glitchy in short). 2. Adapter. 3. Steering shaft. 4. Wiring. From myself: 1. I don’t see any problems with the mechanics. 2. For electrical purposes, you need to look for a connection diagram.

I started to disassemble: 1. Removed the steering casing (nothing complicated). 2. Disconnected and removed all switches (wipers and lights). 3. Removed the ignition switch (the first problem is that you need to unscrew the bolts with a chisel, since there are no edges (!). 4. Use a chisel to straighten the clamp securing the shaft and steering rack (at the engine shield). 5. Use a chisel to unscrew the two bolts securing the steering column (also quite inconvenient). the adapter is attached, I'll clamp it in a vice and knock it out through the sleeve). 10. Measured so that only a little bit came out of the nut and sawed it off (you can use a grinder, I made do with a saw and a file). EUR to the adapter (four nuts for 13 plus growers). 14. Replaced the ignition switch (I used hex bolts, it’s more convenient).

Photo: 1. Standard steering column without casing. 2. Steering column mount. 3. EUR in place).

Mechanically: I bought: 1. Adapter for steering wheel (for Priora). 2. Steering column switch block (also from Priora) 3. Steering column cover from Priora (not yet available). I installed everything, although I haven’t figured out the sound signal yet, but I’ll do that one of these days)). Electrics: 1. Extended the power wires to the battery (plus with a fuse, minus just a wire). 2. Tightened the ground (black thin wire for controlling the power steering, screwed under the instrument cluster). 3. Connected the wires to the instrument cluster. 3.1. The orange wire from the red block to the first from the EUR block is double yellow-red (photo 2). 3.2 Gray + yellow wires from the red block to the third from the EUR-blue block (photo 4). 3.3 Brown-red from the white block to the second block from the EUR-brown block (photo 3). In photo 5 from bottom to top: 1. Yellow-red. 2. Brown. 3. Blue. 3.4 There are also wires there, for k-line and so on, I didn’t connect them (wiring for Priora is not provided in Samara). 4. Collected everything.

Now the feelings: 1. Yes, everything is super 2. At low speeds it’s just a fairy tale) 3. As the speed increases, it turns off and the car steers as before (that is, clear and intelligible feedback). 4. Unlike the early Kalinovsky EURs, this one, when turned off, does not betray its presence in any way (I don’t feel it at all).

Disadvantages: 1. Because of the adapter, the steering wheel dropped (not fatal, but still). 2. The bullet column has lengthened, the steering wheel has become closer to the driver (in principle, everything can be treated by adjusting the seat and I, at 186 cm, did not experience any inconvenience). 3. The steering wheel covers the instrument cluster.

To the diagram: 1. Power steering harness; 2. EURU power supply circuit fuse; 3. Diagnostic contacts of the EURU harness; 4. EURU; 5,6,7 - connecting blocks of the electrical power steering harness, connected to the wires of the instrument panel harness, disconnected from the blocks to the instrument cluster; 8. Block (red) of the instrument panel harness to the instrument cluster; 9. Block (white) of the instrument panel harness to the instrument cluster; 10. Alarm block; 11. Ground terminal.

From myself: THE COLOR OF THE EUR WIRES MAY DIFFER.

1. Button: well, it’s not realistic to put it in its regular place, so I had to think about it. The task was to save the button, not to cut the wiring and place it in a convenient place - as a result, it is now on the panel. I am comfortable. 2. Tilt of the steering column: I placed washers under the far fasteners (which are closer to the engine compartment) of the EUR with an adapter, with them the angle of the steering column changed and the steering wheel stopped blocking the instrument cluster

Tell me, kladperm! Don't you have enough problems with the VAZ-2114? and you want to make your life even more difficult?

. Theoretically, the steering rack should be different. I don’t presume to say this in relation to the TAZ. But if we’re going to install it, then it’s an electric booster!

Power steering in VAZ 2114

The VAZ 2114 car is one of the most used and purchased today. This is a modification of the same “nine” that became widespread right from the release of the first series from the factory assembly line. The same car received a lot of new products at its disposal: from an injection engine and a soft suspension to softly comfortable seats.

There is also power steering, it is designed to help the driver control the car and reduce fatigue when traveling long distances.


VAZ 2114

Types of devices

Power steering is a device with which the working fluid creates pressure on the steering rack. Due to this, the driver needs to apply much less force to the steering wheel to move it. There are several types of such equipment, let's look at the main disadvantages of all other models of amplifiers and it will become clear why the power steering was installed on the VAZ 2114, and, in general, on most modern cars. In addition to this, there are such options in the world:

  • Electric.
  • Pneumatic.
  • Mechanical.

The first option is next after the hydraulic one in terms of its prevalence. Its action is based on the use of magnetic forces to rotate the steering axis. But there is also a noticeable disadvantage here - the energy consumption of the battery, which immediately begins to affect the fuel consumption of the car.

The pneumatic one is very complex; there are a lot of elements: a cylinder, a compressor, pipelines and pipes, a reinforcing mechanism, etc. This entire design is very unreliable and the slightest malfunction in the operation of at least one component leads to the absence of an effect as such. The mechanical amplifier looks like a set of different gears in the body and its effect is achieved due to a changed rotation ratio, here there is minimal gain.

Characteristics

The ESD serves to reduce the force applied to the steering wheel required for maneuvers.

It is optimal for the VAZ 2109 to install an electric amplifier borrowed from the Lada Priora. New AvtoVAZ models are produced on the basis of old ones, so the parts are perfect for nines that have not been produced for a long time.

When choosing an EUR for installation, make sure that it meets the following characteristics.

CharacteristicRequired parameters
Maximum compensating torque35 Nm
Average current consumption50 A (at a steering speed of 360 degrees/sec and 35 Nm of compensating torque)
Working temperatureIn the range from -40 to +85 degrees Celsius
Device weight9.5 kilograms
engine's typeReactive, inductive, electronically controlled
Number of phases3
Direction of rotationReversible type
Gearbox typeThree-way, worm
Worm shaft materialChrome steel 40x
Worm wheel materialCarbon fiber reinforced plastic UPA 6/30 2

EUR from Priora

The choice in favor of just such an electric amplifier for the VAZ 2109 is due to its advantages:
