Replacing stove pipes on a VAZ 2114 - installing stove pipes

Main causes of malfunction

There can be several reasons for such problems, but the most common are:

1. Worn or damaged pipes.
2. Incorrect connection of pipes.
3. Broken stove tap.
4. Radiator failure.

The first of these reasons - wear of pipes - can occur for natural reasons during operation, since the chemicals contained in coolants have a corrosive effect, which is complemented by the influence of high temperature.

In addition, the hoses of the VAZ 2114 stove can be easily damaged by over-tightening the clamps on them. When such damage occurs, fluid leaks from the system.

In total, VAZ 2114 cars have 4 pipes. Two of them are located under the hood and two in the cabin.

Their damage, which led to a coolant leak, can be judged by the following indirect signs:

• there is a constant drop in the liquid level;
• a specific smell appeared in the cabin;
• A puddle of coolant forms under the car or in the passenger compartment while parked.

If at least one of these signs is observed, then urgent diagnostics of the pipes should be carried out and their replacement.

Tightening the clamps on the pipes should be done with medium force. Over-tightening may damage them.

The operating principle of the power unit is based on the chemical reaction of the fuel supplied to the cylinder in a gaseous state and its ignition element. As a result of the correct relationship of all elements and the choice of ignition moment, the translational movement of the piston is carried out, which is converted through numerous components of the vehicle into linear movement of the VAZ 2108.

When burned, the fuel mixture produces enough heat, the release of which does not affect the overall level of functionality of the engine. But overheating of the VAZ 2109 engine, determined by the cloud of steam billowing from the hood, indicates problems with the cooling system, which are currently presented more dramatically for the car owner. The most obvious symptom is a violation of the integrity of the rubber pipes. Some cooling system problems can be identified by warning signs from foul smells and steam coming from under the hood. Correct operation of the engine depends entirely on the owner’s timely attention to these signs of possible malfunctions.

The removal of excess heat from the engine is carried out by cooling the coolant through a radiator. The connection between the power unit and the remote radiator is provided by rubber pipes that pass the coolant through the radiator tubes, where it is cooled, dissipating excess heat outside the vehicle. The heat exchange process is carried out on a continuous basis, allowing the engine to remain at the optimal temperature.

Carrying out tuning work on the VAZ 2114 requires careful attention to the cooling system, since increased speeds and harsh operating conditions of the engine require significantly maximum heat removal. A powerful power unit with a high level of functionality is equipped with modern, highly elastic rubber products that can withstand a wide temperature range. Rubber is characterized by high thermal stability, and the reinforcement of products with thread preserves their elasticity, increasing the strength of the installed elements.

Replacing the stove tap

It often happens that a part such as a faucet breaks (it is worth noting that on the 2114 it is not very reliable). When replacing it, you should simultaneously replace the pipes, even if they are in good working order (the location of the pipes of the VAZ 2114 stove was described above).

All faucet replacements are performed in the following order:

• place the car in the pit and secure it;
• unscrew the screw plug and drain the coolant;
• using a screwdriver, loosen the clamps on the pipes located in the engine compartment, and then remove them;
• find the tap in the passenger compartment on the passenger side (located under the panel), loosen the clamps of the pipes suitable for it, and then remove them;
• Using a 10mm wrench, unscrew a pair of nuts screwed onto the studs and securing the valve body;
• from the interior side, pull out the tap and disconnect the control cable from it;
• install a new (similar) faucet in its original place;
• perform assembly in the same sequence, but in reverse order.

Before disconnecting the pipes (especially those located in the passenger compartment), you should place a cloth under them in case of coolant leakage.

Many car enthusiasts who carry out such a replacement are sometimes interested in how to properly connect the pipes to the VAZ 2114 stove? After all, by mistake or forgetfulness, you can connect them incorrectly, which will disrupt the normal circulation of coolant.

Necessary tool

Difficulties that may arise when performing work are associated only with the inconvenient location of the faucet. Otherwise, the replacement process will not cause problems. Before starting work, prepare the following tools and materials:

• Pliers for removing stuck pipes;
• Flat and Phillips screwdrivers;
• New heater valve for VAZ 2114;
• A rag for cleaning up smudges and a small container for draining antifreeze;
• Canister with new antifreeze for topping up;
• A set of wrenches (wrenches 10 and 13 are useful).

To simplify the work, drain the antifreeze from the car radiator in advance. Next, proceed to study the instructions on how to replace the stove tap with your own hands.

Radiator replacement

Sometimes a clogged or damaged radiator causes the heater to not work properly. If this happens, you should replace it with a new, similar one.

It is done as follows (without dismantling the panel):

1. Place the car in a pit and drain the coolant (the same as when replacing a valve).
2. To quickly and more completely drain the coolant, unscrew the cap of the expansion tank.
3. After draining, screw the plug-bolt into place.
4. From inside, close the tap by moving its lever to the left position.
5. Move the passenger seat back as far as possible.
6. Remove the plug in the center of the panel and unscrew the screw underneath it.
7. Unscrew the 4 screws securing the left panel cover.
8. Unscrew 6 screws (3 on top and bottom) on the steering column casing, and then remove the casing.
9. Disconnect the radio and cigarette lighter connectors.
10. Remove the plastic covers on the stove adjustment levers.
11. Unscrew a couple of screws in the upper part of the center console, and then remove the latter.
12. Unscrew the diagnostic connector mounting bolts.
13. Disconnect all remaining electrical connectors in the console.
14. Remove the console completely.
15. Unscrew the screws securing the panel base to the body.
16. Remove the 4 screws securing the panel from the side.
17. Unscrew the panel screws in the center.
18. Remove the ECU.
19. Lift and secure the panel.
20. Loosen the pipe clamps and remove them.
21. Drain the leaking liquid.
22. Unscrew the bolts securing the radiator (4 pieces).
23. Remove the old radiator.
24. Install a new radiator.

Reassembly is carried out in the same sequence, but in reverse order.

Replaced by removing the panel

For those who do not want to spoil the panel, a method that involves removing it is suitable.

In this case, you will need the same tool as indicated above, except for a metal saw blade.

The main thing here is to have as many Phillips screwdrivers of different lengths on hand as possible.

And then we do everything like this:

1. Remove the side panels of the center console (see above);
2. We dismantle the storage box;
3. Remove the center console trim. To do this, remove the tips of the heating system control sliders and the “knob” for turning on the stove fan. We remove the radio. We unscrew the screws securing the trim - at the top of the center console (hidden by a plug), above the dashboard (2 pieces) and under it (on both sides of the steering column);
4. Remove the upper part of the steering column casing;
5. Pull the console trim towards you. We disconnect all the connectors with wiring from it, having previously marked with a marker where each one was located (you can take a photo). After this, completely remove the cover;
6. Unscrew the screws securing the panel to the body (two screws on each side near the doorways);
7. We unscrew the screws holding the metal frame of the ECU (at the top under the panel and at the bottom near the floor);
8. Remove the screws located above the steering column;
9. After this, the panel is up and towards you;
10. We move the panel towards us, and then ask an assistant or use a high jack to lift it to provide access to the radiator. You can temporarily put some kind of emphasis;
11. Disconnect the radiator pipes (remembering to place a container to collect residual coolant);
12. Unscrew the three fastening screws and remove the heat exchanger.

After that, all that remains is to install a new element and put everything back together.

But here are some nuances to consider:

• To reliably fix the connection points of the pipes with the radiator, the clamps should be replaced with new ones;
• It would not be superfluous to coat the joints with heat-resistant sealant;
• After installing a new heat exchanger and connecting a pipe to it, you should immediately check the tightness of the connection by filling the cooling system with antifreeze. And only after making sure that there are no leaks, you can put the panel in place.

As you can see, the second method is more labor-intensive, but the panel itself remains intact.

In addition, with this method, during assembly, you can coat all joints between the panel and the body with sealant to eliminate squeaks.

In general, both methods are good, but each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, which one to use is up to the car owner to decide.

Replacement without removing the panels, can you see the seams?

Sometimes owners of VAZ cars have to deal with such a problem as problems with the car heater. At the same time, it very often happens that the VAZ 2114 stove pipes inside the cabin remain completely cold even when the car is warm, which clearly indicates a problem in the coolant circulation.

Instructions for replacing the cooling system pipes of the VAZ-2114

In cars of domestic manufacturers, engine cooling occurs using a cooling system; in the VAZ-2114, this task is performed by antifreeze. Only with the right choice of antifreeze can you ensure efficient operation of the cooling system:

1. Factory antifreeze fluid is worse; due to the smaller amount of additives, the thermal protection of the vehicle suffers significantly. Antifreeze was developed specifically to cool vehicle parts and components, so it is exceptionally useful.
2. Factory fluid has one big drawback - it quickly spoils the pipes, which in turn leads to fluid leakage and radiator defects.

Purpose, location and design of the VAZ 2113–15 stove

Unlike classic Zhiguli models, the VAZ 2113–15 stove copes with its duties quite well. If it is in good working order, the inside of the car will always be warm. The air flow distribution system is also implemented quite well, so the windshield, even in severe frost, is completely cleared of ice in a few minutes.

Purpose of the heater

The main function of the stove is to heat the interior and windshield. Hot air supplied through the duct system to the windshield prevents it from freezing in winter. In the warm season, the stove is used for forced ventilation of the interior.

Location and design of the stove

The VAZ 2113–15 stove is located in the front part of the cabin under the center console of the dashboard. Only the heater controls and deflectors through which air flows are brought into the cabin.

The interior heater of the VAZ 2113–15 is closed by the center console

The stove consists of the following elements:

• casing;
• radiator;
• tap;
• inlet and outlet pipes;
• electric motor with a cylindrical impeller;
• windshield defroster;
• control valve;
• foot air damper;
• control module (mode switch, resistor, damper control levers).

Operating principle of the stove

The operation of the stove is based on heat exchange between the heated coolant (coolant) and the air entering the cabin. The basis of the design is the radiator. It is a system of tubes within which heated coolant supplied from the power unit circulates. The tubes are equipped with thin lamellas, allowing for more efficient heat transfer to the air.

The radiator is covered by a casing, which is the body of the stove. On one side there is an electric fan that pumps air into the device. By varying the fan rotation speed with a switch that changes the resistance of a special resistor and located on the central panel, you can regulate the intensity of the air flow entering the cabin.

Circulating between the radiator lamellas, the air heats up and enters the passenger compartment through air ducts located in the front part of the heater. The distribution of flows is carried out using three dampers, one of which (control) regulates (opens or closes) the flow of air into the cabin, and the other two (air blowing for the legs and windshield) change its direction.

The basis of the design of the interior heater is the radiator

The stove can be completely disconnected from the engine cooling system using a tap that shuts off the coolant supply to the radiator of the heating system.

How to correctly replace pipes in a VAZ-2114

The first question that experts hear from car enthusiasts is which pipes should be purchased for the VAZ-2114? Products made from silicone are considered the most durable and at the same time ideally compatible with the cooling mechanism of the VAZ-2114. The diagram below shows the location of the pipes we are interested in:

1. The short ones are mounted on the couplings of the thermostat and the pump pumping water.
2. Next comes the conductive hose.
3. The pipe located in the lower part is responsible for removing antifreeze from the radiator unit.

What set of tools will be needed to replace the VAZ-2114 pipes

1. New hoses.
2. Keys of different sizes.
3. Screwdrivers of different formats.
4. Silicone-based lubricant.

Now let’s talk about how the well-known antifreeze differs from antifreeze. The latter is produced by a domestic manufacturer, antifreeze is produced abroad, so the composition may differ.

Therefore, ask the seller about foreign-made coolant.

Instructions for replacing the cooling system pipes of the VAZ-2114

Step-by-step replacement of cooling system pipes in a VAZ-2114 car looks like this:

1. Remove the battery cable that comes out of the negative socket.
2. Carefully drain the old coolant, but wait until the engine has cooled completely before doing so. Otherwise, there is a risk of getting burns from the coolant.
3. Remove the following components: set aside the upholstery that provides sound insulation, the fan, the trim going to the windshield frame, the facing material.
4. Now your goal is to get to the air collector; to do this, unscrew the brackets in the form of springs and the screws responsible for fixing them. A screwdriver is ideal for spring clips; for screws, you need a wrench.
5. To loosen the clamps, remove the front housing, and then remove the old hoses from the fittings.
6. All that remains is to install new silicone hoses in a specially designated place; it is preferable that the parts are manufactured abroad - they will last longer.
7. Reinstall the other components by following the reverse order of this step-by-step instruction.
