Replacing the pump on the Lada Grant. Recommendations from the selection specialist

The average service life of a water pump (pump) on a Lada Grant does not exceed 80,000 km, although the operating instructions indicate an interval of 120,000 km. For domestic cars, a pump service life of over 85,000 km is nonsense.

In the event of a breakdown, you can replace the pump on the Lada Grant yourself, without resorting to the help of service station technicians.

Replacing the pump

Where is the water pump on the Lada Granta?

Regardless of the modification of the technical device, the number of preinstalled valves, the water pump is installed in the engine compartment. From the end of the engine, below, closer to the crankshaft pulley.

If maintenance and replacement are necessary, the pump is dismantled along with the drive belt and crankshaft pulley.

Remove the pump through the opening in the wheel arch of the car, after jacking up the right side of the car. Some service station technicians practice dismantling through the top of the engine compartment, depending on which is more convenient.

Korean-made coolant pump for VAZ-21179 engine

The owner of any elderly foreign car with a timing belt will confirm that repairmen insist that during a scheduled belt change, they replace both the pump and the pressure rollers with bearing assemblies. And these parts are often sold as a set. Moreover, at a discount - the whole set is cheaper than the belt, rollers, and pump separately.

I don’t want to once again convince you that the stingy pays twice, but over the years I have come to the conclusion that Western manufacturers include in the regulations changing the belt not because of the belt as such, but because of the pump and tensioner bearings. They just needed a reason to reliably replace the entire set of parts associated with the camshaft drive, and they found it.

I propose to do the same with our engines. Why? Formally, at each maintenance it would be necessary to remove the cover and inspect the timing belt and water pump. You can see a tear in the belt, as well as a leak on the pump. In both cases, the part is changed without delay. But this is a malfunction. And if everything is outwardly normal, the ideal option is to include preventive replacement in the regulations.

Preparing for replacement

Malfunctions and troubleshooting methods

Replacing parts on different types of engines

How to change a pump on a Grant with an 8-valve or a 16-valve, there is not much difference. The algorithm described above remains unchanged, taking into account one nuance: on the “eight” the crankshaft is equipped with one pulley, on the “sixteen-valve” - two. The replacement procedures will be identical, but when working with a 16-valve engine, the car enthusiast will need more time to complete the work.

It should be noted that when purchasing a pump, you need to pay attention to what type of engine the product is intended for. The packages are marked so that the car enthusiast can choose the right part for an 8-valve and 16-valve engine, respectively.

An important component of the Lada engine is the pump or water pump of the cooling system. This model features engines with the serial index VAZ-11183, VAZ-11186, VAZ-21126 (also with automatic transmission) and VAZ-21127.

This unit should be selected according to the part numbers

After all, the Grant pump is responsible for the safety of such an important engine part as the timing belt. Pump (water pump of the cooling system) Lada Granta catalog number – 21114-1307010-00, 21114-1307010-01

You can do a self-diagnosis of the pump malfunction yourself. This will only require a visual overview of the CO water pump department. When dismantling the pump, it will be easier to find the cause of the breakdown. Determination of malfunction Grant, pump:

• Makes noise, an unusual hum of bearings in the pump section. • Leaks in the pump area indicate the need to replace the gasket. • There may also be leaks in the drainage section of the pump - this is wear on the seal. • If the pump impeller wears out/breaks, there will be poor circulation of coolant in the system. • If axial play of the pump shaft is detected, the bearing is worn out.

The water pump ensures proper circulation of coolant in the car engine

Thus, infrequent monitoring, in which you should pay attention to the coolant pump section of the Lada Granta - the pump and the units associated with it, will serve you faithfully. And your car is no longer in danger of engine overheating due to a sudden malfunction

Do not forget that the performance of the stove also depends on the quality of the pump.

Description and technical characteristics of water pumps DOLZ, LUZAR

Reinforced pump Luzar for Lada Granta 2190

Luzar Turbo 2 is a high-power water pump for the Lada Granta. The average cost in the Russian Federation is 650 – 750 rubles, depending on the place of purchase. Pump flow rate at 800 rpm is 900 l/h. The unit runs 95 – 120 thousand km.

The installation of a turbo version of the pump is explained by the fact that the engines of the Lada line are prone to rapid boiling and an increase in operating temperature.

The temperature increases according to the following scheme: the car moves at high speeds on the road. A sudden stop at a traffic light provokes a rise in temperature, heat stroke, and boiling of antifreeze.

Let's sum it up

Now you know which pump to choose the best. They strive to quickly diagnose and replace the coolant pump on LADA Granta. Use only high-quality products that will allow the assembly elements to work for a long time and correctly. Take the time to compare different products in different offers, this is a reasonable action in terms of choosing the best option.

Lada Granta 2012

Thank you all! I am sure that this article will be very useful to owners of Lada Granta with engine 21116 installed on cars with the “norm” package. Before this article there were 3 of them, I deleted them and decided to write this one so as not to confuse the chronology of events!

Let's start with the fact that my typewriter is one year old. This year there was little pleasant and little. I ran 31 thousand kilometers. The main mileage was in the municipal district of Kashira, Stupino, Moscow, several trips to Tula.

I have been tormented for a long time by a strange knocking noise from the engine when cold. I didn’t cause any particular panic, as the engine warmed up and the ticking disappeared. And at 29,000 km, it stopped being felt to the touch after warming up and even made a cracking noise when starting off. Alternator, exhaust system, CV joint, front bumper and this is not a complete list of what I checked. The pump and automatic timing belt tensioner remained, they opened the cover, but did not see anything suspicious. I went to the service to see my friends with a more knowledgeable gaze. The pump said by the sound, opened the timing case and probably the timing belt runs along the pulleys. What frightened me most of all was this diagnosis, since there are no spare parts for the Lada Granta at all. I surfed the forums and Drive2, found a couple of cases where the pump was installed from the previous ones, they said that it differed only in the width of the pulley, and even then not much.

And so it was necessary to buy:

— Water pump 2170;

— automatic roller tensioner of the toothed belt 2190;

— timing belt 2190;

To my surprise, the timing belt for Grant was in almost every store, with a roller and a pump for ambush bags, as expected, the delivery time of the order is not unknown.

I asked the store to show the pump of the nines and the priors, I didn’t immediately notice the difference except for the width of the pulley, and I got sick from the nines.

Why can’t you install a nine pump on the Lada Granta 21116 engine:

If you take a quick look at the VAZ-21116 and VAZ-210914 pump, I assure you, you will not notice the difference, the VAZ-210914 pump will have a slightly different impeller and will not have a small threaded hole for tightening the case, but this is not a problem, the main difference is in the gear pulley On the VAZ-21116 engine, the pulley migrated from the previous VAZ-21126, only it became a little tighter. On the Priora, the pulley comes with rounded teeth, and on the VAZ-210914 - with rectangular ones, and even more so they are a couple of millimeters higher; by installing this pump on the VAZ-21116 engine, you will push the timing belt and last ten times less. At the time of purchase I didn’t know and bought from nine.

Because it is not recommended to install an automatic tensioner roller on the VAZ-21116 Priora VAZ-21126 engine

The roller that I bought from the previous Pilenga PT-P 1570s turned out to be the same by eye, with the exception of a bolt hole on the side of the motor mount. When I made my video, I realized there was a big difference! Firstly, the original skating rink 21116 is larger in diameter, and secondly, it is already there. The plastic housing of the previous roller is wider and fits against the motor, this is solved by grinding the excess with a sander or, as I did, a sander. There is another difference in one detail: the thickness of the metal body of the roller is wider than that of the Priora, and therefore if you install it from the Priora you still need to install a washer. My conclusion is not optimistic: since the roller has flaps of smaller diameter than guaranteed, it is necessary to pull it beyond the mark when stretching the roller and thereby effectively denying it the automatic adjustment range.

Replacing the timing belt, roller and pump. Attempt No. 1

All purchased spare parts are collected in one package:

— automatic roller tensioner 21126 (2170) Pilenga PT-P 1570;

— Timing belt VAZ 21116 (2190) Original 5670XS

— Water pump VAZ-210914, TZA 21091307010-75

Total 2540 rub.

Previously, I myself did not have to change times; I had no time to study, and I decided to take it into service. Everything was decided there. There is a pump, there is some play, but not so critical! Why did the timing belt bend? It's not clear yet.

The bearing is also in very good condition, as is the belt! I put the original parts in the trunk and installed new ones. I start the car and hooray! The shot went through, the belt was like a glove! I paid 2000 rubles and went home happy.

In total, replacing consumables once cost me 4,500 rubles, thanks to the guys from AvtoVAZ.

You probably thought that everything was fine, the pump was replaced and now the car is like new. No, no, no.

I went home and decided to inspect the engine compartment, everything is fine, except the alternator belt is too tight, well, there is nothing to adjust the tension, check and go home (remember this point).

In the morning he started to leave and the knocking sound appeared again, he tried to move, and then a crash followed! Disappointed, I got to work. At work I have a lot of thoughts on this topic, and then I come across a forum and pictures on the Internet! Show photos of water pumps and pulleys from Apriori and Nine and show the difference! I just have a hurricane of thoughts in my head. After work, I fly home, open the timing belt and yes. The belt is clearly jammed. On the front you can see the teeth marks.. they change again.

Replacing the timing belt, roller and pump. Attempt No. 2

This time I waited until the weekend; the time to find the wrong pump was Thursday. Until Saturday he had covered just over 200 km. In total I drove about 400 km. This time I decided to change everything myself. I went to the store again and bought a pump and timing belt.

I put the parts in a bag and went home, it was a sunny day, I decided not to even take it to the garage.

— Water pump TZA 21121307010-75

— Timing belt VAZ 21116 (2190) Original 5670XS

Total 1030r + 740r = 1770r.

I will not describe the process of replacing the pump and timing belt, since there is a lot of literature on repair and operation, which, by the way, I use myself.

What is the difference between the water pump VAZ-21116 and VAZ-21126.

They differ only in the width of the pulley and again, slightly. The video was left to his family; he did not take any risks with Priorovsky, especially since his conditions were ideal.

I used a flat-jaw circlip puller as a wrench to tension the roller. The time was set immediately and without problems.

I saw from someone on Drive2 that the pump from the previous ones clings when the timing case is tightened tightly, I did not observe this, I even noticed by eye a small gap between the pump pulley and the casing.

The engine knocks and squeaks when starting.

We set the timings, started the engine, the belt remained in place, we clearly liked the car pump from the previous ones! =) BUT! When leaving there was a knock and a crash. the smile disappeared from his face, but appeared after 10 minutes of digging in the engine compartment! Remember, I told you to remember the moment when I loosened the tension on the alternator belt! Like! The first time I changed the timing belt at the service center, they pulled the alternator belt very tightly on me and pressed the alternator, and as a result the sound disappeared! When I got home, I relieved the tension and in the morning the sound appeared again! This is the whole mystery!

Now the solution: my gaze was directed to the empty hole, the hole in which the lower bolt securing the generator to the bracket should sit (a long bolt), the bolt is not there! Damn, I knew I'd find out where the crackling noise was coming from and that it wasn't a design feature of the car! I began to look and understand that for some reason the bolt had unscrewed and flown off. Of course, there were sins behind me when I forgot to tighten up the details, but this happened 3-4 times in my life, it’s impossible here, since I was in no hurry and dug in search of pleasure!

I inserted a new bolt, installed a check washer, now I think it won’t go anywhere! How did I not notice this before?! Running and quiet, the car drives like new! Wow, and she fucked me.

There is another unsolved mystery in this article! Since the timing belt was running on the pulleys, I wouldn't say my own pump suffered much damage. Well, ok now everything works pah-pah. I live outside the city, getting to car shops by public transport is problematic, it’s good that there is a Daewoo Matiz 1.0 Best, it helps me.

I bought it together with Grant at the same time. The mileage on the Matiz is 24,540 km, only oil and filters. Why are the Uzbeks better than us?

In total, with all the jambs, changing the timing belt cost me 6,270 rubles. tube The car has driven only 30,000 km.

Why are the French and Japanese silent? Renault + Nissan ayyy! Why are there no spare parts on store shelves? Why did the timing belt run along the pulleys for 30,000 km?

Lada Granta cars have rightfully earned a reputation as reliable and easy-to-maintain vehicles. Drivers generally speak well of this model, and besides, all the procedures necessary to restore functions or replace units on the Grant can be easily carried out manually. The list of independent work also includes dismantling a failed pump.

Recommendations for the selection of parts and components

Considering that the service life of domestic water pumps is limited, service station technicians recommend purchasing foreign analogues. The cost of imports is 10–15% more expensive, however, the service life is 15–20 thousand km longer.

To avoid buying counterfeits, use the services of trusted stores, suppliers, and Internet sites.

Strictly follow the manufacturer's requirements for the timing of technical inspection. Check the catalog numbers with the actual data in the operating instructions.

Which kit to buy

In addition to the toothed belt, a tension roller and a coolant pump are purchased.
The main supplier of rubber products is the RTI plant in Balakovo. Products from GATES, BOSCH, DAYCO, CONTITECH have proven themselves well. If the pump in the engine cooling system is replaced, antifreeze will be needed to top it up. Yesterday one of our regular customers came to us with a recently purchased second-generation Kalina to replace the timing belt, roller and pump, plus all the fluids, but more on that in another article. This engine was also installed on the Grant, so this article will be relevant for it as well. The speedometer shows 60,000 and I believe that for this engine this is the optimal replacement interval, even though all reference books say about 75,000.

To work, we will need a set of keys and sockets, as well as a 5-point hex and a key for the tension roller. The entire procedure takes approximately one and a half hours.

The engine is similar to the eighth.

First, remove the protection, drain the antifreeze, and for convenience you can remove the right front wheel. Next, loosen the locknut of the generator belt tensioning mechanism. Using a 10mm socket, unscrew the tensioner pin and remove the belt.

We unscrew the four bolts with a 5mm hexagon and remove the upper protective cover of the timing belt.

Set top dead center (TDC). We turn the crankshaft by the pulley mounting bolt clockwise until the mark on the camshaft sprocket and the timing belt protective casing coincide.

Unscrew the crankshaft pulley bolt. We block the wheels with stops, tighten the handbrake, engage fifth gear and, with a slight movement of the wrench and a one and a half meter pipe extension, unscrew this bolt.

Remove the protective washer.

The marks on the crankshaft sprockets should be aligned with the oil pump casting.

Praise be to the designers of AvtoVAZ, finally rollers with a tension indicator appeared on the engines, now you don’t need to tighten them by eye and check the tension by twisting the belt, not even thirty years have passed since the invention of such a design. We unscrew the tension roller bolt and dismantle the latter; we also remove the old timing belt. The photo shows that the belt has stretched out because the tension marks have diverged; when checking the condition of the timing belt, if you see this, you will just need to tighten it.

To replace the pump, we need to remove the camshaft sprocket, and also unscrew several bolts of the inner casing and remove it.

Three bolts out and the pump replaced. The green arrow indicates the hole for the tension roller bolt.

Having replaced the water pump, we proceed to install a new timing belt.

We put the casing and camshaft sprocket in place. We check that all the marks match, as discussed above. We install the tension roller, but do not tighten the bolt. We put on a new belt, observing the direction of rotation, first on the crankshaft sprocket, camshaft, tension roller and pump, the latter can be swapped. We tighten the timing belt. Use a special key to turn the roller counterclockwise, as indicated on its body...

...until the marks on it coincide and tighten the bolt.

We turn the crankshaft two turns and again check the alignment of the marks and the belt tension.

We install all the parts in the reverse order of removal, fill in antifreeze and start it. It couldn't be simpler. Good luck on the roads. No nail, no rod!

Replacing the timing belt of Lada Granta 8 valves is required once every 75 thousand kilometers. If you ignore the scheduled replacement of the belt, tension roller and sometimes the pump (coolant pump), you may end up with serious repairs to the Lada Granta engine. After all, a broken timing belt almost always leads to damage to valves, valve seats and even pistons. Therefore, the timing drive must be treated very carefully. Every 15 thousand it is necessary to inspect the belt for breaks, cracks, peeling or oiling.

The advice applies to VAZ, 11186 and 21116 engines. All of them are 8-valve and are installed in Grant cars. Let's consider replacement steps.

First, remember a simple rule: the 11183 engine cannot bend its valves, so you can rotate the crankshaft and camshaft pulley separately. For motors 11186 and 21116 this would be unacceptable!
