Lada 219410 Kalina station wagon does the valve bend?

Good day, dear readers and guests of the Otzovik website! We bought a VAZ 219410 Lada Kalina station wagon

in September 2022. And now we have been driving it for 10 months. It's time to write a review about this car, its pros and cons. The mileage is currently 19,000 kilometers. Not a little, because we drive it 40 km to work every day. The overall impression of the car is good. She looks stylish. The latest model is made to look like a foreign car. It doesn't look big, it's neat, but the interior is quite spacious. The trunk is also roomy. The landing is normal, it drives freely on a country road. My husband is an avid fisherman, so we go fishing. My husband is happy)) Beautiful front view. The side mirrors have beautiful lacquered black frames.

Good view of the front glass. Beautiful headlights combined with a high front end. Back view.

And a few more photos of the interior.

Now the general characteristics of the Lada Kalina Station wagon of this configuration, purchased by us. Engine 1.6 liters, 87 hp. With. Our car has driver and front passenger airbags, the rear seats have armrests, ISOFIX mounts are provided for child seats, an immobilizer and security alarm are installed, anti-lock brakes with an auxiliary braking system and an electronic brake force distribution system, which is very important for traffic safety . An on-board computer is installed where you can see the outside air temperature, fuel consumption and remaining fuel, the current time, there are buttons to turn on and off the cruise control function and more. The car has electric power steering and a function for adjusting the height of the front seat belts. An air filter is installed in the cabin. The rear window and side windows were immediately slightly tinted. The front doors have electric windows, and there is also a heated function for the outside mirrors and rear window. And we have air conditioning, and all new Kalina models already have air conditioners installed. A spare steel wheel 14 is also included. All this pleasure cost us 488,500 rubles. Additionally, for an additional fee we purchased original VAZ floor mats for Kalina, seat covers are also original,

additionally protected the body from corrosion and installed a radio – Car radio Pioneer MVH-08UBG – High-quality sound and design). I really like the seat belt height adjustment feature. Previously, on previous cars, the belt was always a little high and personally, the front passenger, got in the way. Now installed conveniently and comfortably. And, of course, air conditioning in the car! With our heat, driving without it was very hot, stuffy and difficult to endure. Now there is a very pleasant atmosphere in the cabin during trips. There were some downsides too. The lock on the glove compartment door inside the cabin is broken. Since the car is under warranty, we are trying to negotiate to have it replaced free of charge. At this stage this is the only negative so far. And I won’t lower my rating for it. We hope that in the future our Kalinka will not let us down and will make us happy)) We had a foreign car Ford, although not new. We were tired of buying expensive spare parts. There was our ten. It was easier with spare parts. Therefore, we decided to opt for a car from a Russian manufacturer, because you need a lot of money for a new good foreign car, but this car is more or less affordable and does not consume a lot of gasoline. Considering everything written above, I recommend paying attention to the new Lada Kalina model. I wish everyone a pleasant shopping experience and thank you for your attention!

Lada Kalina

A 1.6-liter sixteen-valve engine with an adjustable intake develops 106 hp, the gearbox is cable driven, the equipment is... “stuffing,” but not complete: at the time of purchase, more expensive versions had not yet arrived, although we were ready to pay an additional 17,600 rubles and take car at its best. It would be interesting to check the electrically heated windshield, standard parking sensors and light and rain sensors; and the 15-inch alloy wheels look better than ours, which are an inch smaller.

However, even in execution 0, “Kalina” surprised with its wealth of functions. As they said back in the 1990s about “tens”, full power accessories (window and mirror drives), heated seats, foglights... Safety is ensured by two airbags, ABS with braking assistant, and three L-shaped headrests on the rear row seats! There is also climate control - albeit without automatic flow distribution, but independently maintaining the set temperature. Using the standard key, you can not only control the security system, but also remotely raise and lower the windows - just like on a real foreign car!

Equipment Kalina 2 hatchback

Features of the body type – hatchback:

• overall dimensions length/width/height, mm – 3893/1700/1500;
• luggage compartment volume, l – 240/550;

Standard 0.1. Norm 4,7,2, 21921-41-021,2,7,8, 21922-41-018,3,2. Lux 0,3,7, 21922-42-021,6,0,8, 21927-42-016.

Lada Kalina

The multimedia system with a 7-inch touchscreen is absolutely space. She doesn’t have a CD drive, and she probably doesn’t need one, since most music and movies are now downloaded from the Internet. I didn’t say anything about films! From a USB drive or SD card, Kalina can play not only photos, but also videos. True, you will have to find in the depths of your home computer the program that we used five years ago to compress video for communicators: the image size should not exceed 320x240 pixels. But, unlike foreign cars, you can watch a film while moving - there is no fool proof here, so the user takes responsibility for driving in a cinema on wheels.

Gearboxes

The noisy five-speed manual VAZ-2181 runs its 150 thousand, despite leaks and rapid wear of the synchronizers. Its repairs are inexpensive and established at every corner.

Since 2015, Kalinas have been equipped with mechanical-based robots (AMT). It quickly became clear that clutches deteriorate en masse after 10–30 thousand kilometers. Modernization only partially solved the problem - the box remained twitchy and brittle.

Nissan's Jatco four-speed hydraulic automatic transmission is ancient and brooding, but has undergone several modernizations, is unpretentious and reliable. The resource costs 250 thousand.

Lada Kalina

Small shoals still showed up. It took a couple of dozen opening and closing cycles for the rear right door lock to stop jamming. The trunk seal will not bend in any way - in order for the lid to close without force, you will have to lift the lock bracket. Although the gear shift mechanism has become better, the lower stages are still engaged with more force than we would like. The generally good sound insulation allows for the hum of budget Kama-217 tires, the howling of the transmission, the clicking of relays when using electrical equipment and the whining of the Korean electric power steering. And when driving at low speeds on an uneven road, an annoying gurgling sound is the windshield washer fluid splashing in the reservoir...

Interior features of the new version

According to reviews from the owners of the 2022 Lada Kalina 2 Universal, the interior of the car came from the Lada Granta. It cannot boast of much space, but the presence of interesting original elements is even present here in abundance, unlike the Lada Kalina Cross 2022, judging by the reviews of the owners. Just pay attention to the front panel.

The center console takes pride of place. In its upper part there are two rectangular deflectors. Below you can see the 7-inch touch screen. Next are the switches and buttons for controlling the climate control system.

You can take a closer look at the interior decoration corresponding to the price of the new 2022 Lada Kalina station wagon in the photo.

The quality of materials, of course, is not the best, but still decent. The driver's seat, which turned out to be hard and skinny, was a disappointment. There is no talk of any high lateral supports at all. They simply don't exist. On sharp turns there is a high probability of simply flying out of the seat.

I also want to note how cramped the back seat is. It is designed for three people, although even two will be cramped there. The back row is represented by one independent armchair and a sofa with two seats. They can be folded in a 60/40 ratio. The luggage compartment takes up 356 liters, which is not bad. Transforming the rear row seats of the new Lada Kalina 2022 will add an additional 315 liters.

• air conditioner;
• two front airbags;
• ABS system, directional stability;
• glass, heated mirrors;
• multimedia complex;
• 7-inch touch screen;
• navigation system;
• heated front seats.

Changed technical specifications

There have also been changes to the technical specifications of the 2022 Lada Kalina. They affected the suspension, which was completely retuned, as well as the addition of electric power steering. The engines remain the same. These are three 1.6-liter gasoline power units.

A 5-speed manual gearbox is offered as a transmission. In the near future, it is planned to use AvtoVAZ’s “robot”.

For now, the 2022 Lada Kalina 2 in a new body will be offered in only one configuration, shown in the photo. Its name is "Norma". It will include:

• 15-inch alloy wheels;
• ABS systems, directional stability;
• electric power steering;
• driver airbag;
• heated side mirrors;
• air conditioner;
• fog lights;
• navigation system.

The price of the new Lada Kalina Station wagon 2022 will be about 480,900 rubles. For the option with a “robot” you will have to pay 550,000 rubles; it’s up to you to decide whether to take the Lada Kalina 2022 or not.

Superiority of closest competitors

Logan's interior trim, which consists of cheap materials, let us down. The plastic is hard and of frankly poor quality. The car demonstrates sluggish acceleration dynamics, mediocre sound insulation, and disgusting ergonomics of the driver's seat.

Nissan Tiida evokes mixed feelings among many owners. In general, the car has a decent design and a spacious interior, although the ergonomics of the driver's seat are controversial. The quality of finishing is very poor. The torpedo gets scratched quickly, the plastic is hard, and over time it begins to “show” cracks and creak.

But the car is very suitable for urban conditions. The build quality and acceleration dynamics are at a fairly high level. Passengers in the back row will not feel cramped. In winter, the interior warms up very quickly.

Lada Kalina

To a buyer who has money - at least borrowed money - for a car of a higher class and one and a half times more expensive, these little things may seem unacceptable. What if you compare it with other state employees? A Renault Sandero in a special series with a 102-horsepower engine and additional options that bring it up to par with our Kalina Lux will cost 496,600 rubles. A similar Hyundai Solaris is 300 rubles more expensive. But, I think, luxury versions of Kalina with fashionable multimedia and light sensors are a response to Chinese models, the bells and whistles of which make a certain category of buyers turn a blind eye to their quality. And the popular “Kalina” is an 87-horsepower 8-valve engine and the “Norma” package for 372,000 rubles. There are the same safety and comfort systems, and the owner will install the radio and CDs to his liking himself.

A new product from AvtoVAZ has appeared on the roads of Russia, and we have become aware of the technical characteristics of the 2013 LADA Kalina 2. It is worth noting that this is actually the same car, which received a new gearbox and updated design.

If you study the data presented in the table in detail, it will become clear that the station wagon is no different from the hatchback in terms of dynamics and equipment. The only difference between the Lada Kalina 2 station wagon and the technical characteristics is that the body is slightly longer.

Otherwise, the technical characteristics of the new Lada Kalina 2nd generation differ only in trim levels. In the luxury version, the buyer receives a 16-valve engine, which is 12 hp more powerful than the 8-valve engine, which has a positive effect on the overall dynamics of the car. However, we should not forget that the luxury version can be equipped with an automatic transmission, which slightly worsens the dynamic characteristics of the new Kalina.

Fuel consumption, judging by official data from AvtoVAZ, is less for a 16-valve power unit compared to an analogue with 8 valves. An automatic transmission competes with a manual transmission only in the extra-urban cycle; in all other cases it consumes more fuel.

Description of equipment0

The basic configuration of the Novaya Kalina0 does not have the worst set of options.
For his money, the buyer receives a car with electric front doors, electric power steering and an airbag for the driver. Many foreign cars offer similar basic configurations for much larger sums. The “Standard” package also includes an immobilizer, tilt-adjustable steering column, central locking, athermal glass, audio preparation and roof rails. The full list of options can be found in the configuration table.

Of course, the simplest version of the New Kalina station wagon will not be particularly popular, since you can pay several tens of thousands of rubles extra and get a much more equipped car, for example1.

A few tips on how not to find out if the valves on Kalina are bent and not end up with expensive repairs

In order to try to avoid damage to the gas distribution mechanisms, it is necessary to promptly replace the timing belt.

It is not enough to change one belt. Be sure to change the tension rollers along with it and monitor the condition of the pump. If necessary, it must also be replaced.

Never skimp on spare parts. Choose your timing belt carefully. It should not have any irregularities, stripes or seams.

When purchasing a water pump and tension rollers, choose only well-known and trusted manufacturers.

By following these simple rules, you will never know whether the valves on a Kalina car are bent, and how much it costs to overhaul the engine.

I would like to hope that this article will help to avoid problems, usually associated with neglect of the technical condition of the car. With the correct attitude to the operation of the elements of the gas distribution mechanism, such problems should not arise.

Oil and parts replacement schedule

The manufacturing plant of the 11189 Lada-Largus engine has outlined the following list, which indicates the replacement of consumable fluids and materials:

• engine oil and oil filters - once every 15,000 km;
• fuel and air filters, as well as spark plugs - every second technical control of the car’s condition;
• poly V-belt, wires and coolant - every 90,000 km.

Technical inspection and replacement of the above parts and fluids should only be carried out by an experienced car service specialist. According to reviews from car enthusiasts, valve clearances should be adjusted during each maintenance.

Lada Granta 21116 engine life, maintenance, pros and cons

The Lada Granta 21116 engine model under consideration differs from its predecessors in sufficient reliability and efficiency. If you take into account compliance with the operating and maintenance conditions (time frames for maintenance), you can significantly extend the service life of the unit.

Features of servicing the VAZ 21116 engine:

• The engine oil and oil filter are replaced every 15 thousand kilometers (recommended by the manufacturer);
• mandatory adjustment of valve clearances and replacement of the valve cover gasket;
• replacing spark plugs, air and fuel filters after 30 thousand kilometers;
• after a run of 90 thousand kilometers, they change the coolant, drive belts, high-voltage wires, etc.

Fuel consumption per 100 km, even when driving in city traffic (traffic jams, traffic lights), usually does not exceed 10 liters. By the way, the use of AI-95 fuel recommended by the manufacturer can reduce fuel consumption even further.

You can also note the normal start of the engine in cold weather, even after the car has been idle for a long time. Also a plus is a reduction in noise (minimal vibration) and an increase in the torque of the internal combustion engine.

The only drawback is a broken engine timing belt, which leads to bending of the valves (as a result, expensive repairs). Also, in some cases, the fragility of the pistons is noted (when they collide with the valves, they sometimes break and require replacement much earlier than their allotted time);

Additional benefits

Let's look at some of the advantages of the Lada Kalina, which do not go unnoticed.

1. The new engine of the Lada Kalina meets the high environmental standards of Europe. It is equipped with a modern crankshaft and a modernized cylinder head.
2. Since the size and weight of the Lada Kalina is slightly smaller than the “ten”, the layout of its hood was slightly changed. For example, the generator of a Kalina car is fixed at a minimum distance from the cylinder block. The belt is tensioned by a roller. Moreover, the thermostat is contained in a small-sized housing.
3. A braked trailer capable of carrying a load of 900 kg can be connected to the Lada Kalina. In this case, fuel consumption will be 10.6 l/100 km.
4. Clear fixation of the gear lever improves gear shifting diagonally, for example from second to third. A locking device has been introduced into the shift mechanism to help prevent accidental reverse gear. The presence of an idle damper reduces the noise level when the engine is running.
5. The front wheel drive is equipped with a dirt protection system.
6. For the first time, conical springs were used on a Lada car.
7. Electromechanical power steering provides maximum ease when maneuvering in tight conditions. The steering force of a stationary vehicle is reduced to 3.5 kg. The height of the steering column can be adjusted.
8. The brake system of the Lada Kalina is equipped with a vacuum booster with a diaphragm of increased diameter, which makes it easy to operate the pedal.
