Review, design and technical characteristics of the VAZ 2106: injector, dimensions, weight, tank volume

Lack of fluid and consequences

The disadvantage of antifreeze is rapid evaporation; you also have to solve the problem of leakage. It happens that liquid can be seen leaking under the car. There are also cases when it goes into the car interior, this indicates a breakdown of the heater taps, they need to be replaced.

In addition, smoke may be emitted from the exhaust pipe. This occurs due to a faulty cylinder head gasket. When antifreeze boils, you need to fix the problem in time ; you need to drain it and change it.

If you do not give significance to the signs that appear and continue to move on, then the consequences can be very sad. If the fluid disappears from the tank, the motor may overheat when the mark reaches the minimum value.

Actual tank volume on the 14th model

As mentioned, the manufacturer claims that the volume of the 2114 tank is 43 liters (in some cases you can find a figure of 42.5 liters). And this figure is indeed very close to reality.

Tank volume VAZ 2114

At the same time, it is worth considering a number of facts that can significantly affect capacity:

1. Errors in the manufacture of the tank.
2. Time of year and temperature.
3. Fuel system volume.

The first of these factors is usually insignificant. But, as practice shows, sometimes the difference in the volumes of two identical tanks can reach (as a result of low production accuracy) 2 liters. Thus, on some machines the total volume can reach 45 liters (which is extremely rare).

This should also include the difference in weather conditions. In cold weather, the fuel contracts, and in warm weather, it expands. This factor also affects how many liters the tank on a VAZ 2114 can hold (if we take into account the full volume of gasoline that can fit in hot summers and winter frosts, the difference can reach 1.5 liters).

Well, finally, you should remember that the fuel system itself also holds a certain amount of fuel. On average, when the tank is completely empty, up to 2 liters of gasoline can remain in it. As a result of this number of features, the amount of fuel contained in the tank may differ from that declared by the manufacturer, either more or less.

It is also worth noting that if the vehicle is operated incorrectly and refueled with low-quality fuel, sediment can accumulate at the bottom of the tank, which over time can (albeit insignificantly) reduce its volume. In order to avoid such a situation, the tank should be inspected every few years.

Examples of savings calculations in St. Petersburg

Let's calculate the difference in the cost of refueling gas and gasoline using two examples:

• From Nevsky Prospekt to the Ring Road and back in St. Petersburg 60 km. Let's take this distance as the daily mileage rate and calculate the benefit for the month.
• From St. Petersburg to Moscow - 710 km. Let's calculate how much you can save on a trip to Moscow and back.

If you use the LADA 2106 rarely and travel short distances, the benefit will be insignificant. But if you spend more than an hour driving every day, HBO will pay for itself in the first year. Calculate how much you will save at the gas station based on your mileage in the savings calculator.

Body

Description of the salon

VAZ designers didn’t really bother with the comfort of the interior or the presentability of the car’s exterior. Their task was to develop a functional and reliable car.

Therefore, the “six” as a whole continued the ascetic traditions of their predecessors. The interior trim was made of thin plastic, and the doors did not have shockproof bars, so noise while driving was an integral attribute of the “six”. A big setback (even by the standards of the 1980s) is the thin and very slippery steering wheel. The steering wheel was covered with cheap rubber, which constantly slipped out of my hands.

In the 1990s, the steering wheel was replaced with a more compact and comfortable one.

However, the fabric for upholstery of chairs has proven itself to be the best. The wear resistance of the material allows you to operate the car even now without additional upholstery of the interior.

The instrument panel was particularly ascetic, but at the same time had all the necessary instruments and control functions. The plastic used, if well cared for, has not cracked for many years. In addition, if it was necessary to independently repair the internal equipment, the driver could easily disassemble the dashboard and put it back together again without any consequences.

The VAZ 2106 is still actively used in private ownership today. The car is affordable and easy to repair, which is why many car enthusiasts prefer the “six” to other domestic models.

Methods for replacing antifreeze

Many beginners do not know how to drain antifreeze from a VAZ 2107. Since it is a toxic substance, it must be treated with extreme caution, and it is better to adhere to general safety rules. Immediately before draining the liquid from the car, you need to prepare some kind of container or simply use an unnecessary basin . The following steps are followed:

1. To begin with, the car is put on the handbrake, then a container is placed under the engine to drain the used fluid.
2. Then you need to open the hood, find the expanded tank and unscrew the cap so that the pressure drops. Such actions are carried out to speed up the process.
3. The lid on the radiator also opens.
4. The lid on the stove opens from inside the car. To drain the remaining antifreeze, you need to set the lever to the warm position.
5. The next step is to unscrew the bolt plug from the cylinder, or rather, from its lower part.
6. Then the cap on the radiator drain hole is opened.
7. The antifreeze begins to gradually flow into the container, the process of its release takes about ten minutes.
8. Afterwards, you need to make sure that all the liquid has come out; if anything remains, it needs to be drained.

In order to correctly fill the liquid and it does not leak out, you need to check the integrity of the pipe. If the pipe is damaged even slightly, it should be replaced. Replacing the coolant in the injection VAZ 2107 is carried out as follows:

1. First, you need to unscrew the sensor between the third and fourth spark plugs to prevent air locks from appearing in the cooling system.
2. The solution must be poured through the hole located in the radiator; it must be poured until everything is filled. The volume here reaches five liters.
3. The sensor turns on, but the antifreeze continues to fill.
4. The liquid must be filled completely until the radiator is filled to the brim.
5. When the entire procedure is completed, the radiator is closed with a lid. The remainder is added to the cooling system in the expanded tank to the maximum mark.

It is very important to remember that replacement occurs when the radiator has cooled down. A VAZ 2107 or 7 may have injectors or a carburetor. The carburetor operates using a simplified cooling system.

The operation of the injector depends on the system of installed devices and temperature sensors. All screwing of the lids can be done with a simple thirteen key. Why do you need antifreeze:

• Maintaining engine temperature during operation.
• Maintaining a low temperature of the liquid in the automatic transmission.
• For heating the interior. The liquid provides heat to the car by circulating through the heater. The motor heats the liquid, and the fan moves the heat into the cabin.

Antifreeze has many advantages, the main one is the continuous operation of the engine. If the cooling system operates without interruption, the liquid will not boil and the engine will continue to operate for a long time. Antifreeze is safe for the car; it does not contain substances contraindicated for cooling systems.

Body weight

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

Let’s say right away that the “six” weighs exactly 1045 kg. Its mass is decomposed as follows:

• The weight of the power unit together with additional equipment is 140 kg;
• The gearbox weighs about 26 kg;
• Shaft – 10 kg;
• Rear axle – 52 kg;
• Radiator – 7 kg;
• Body – 280 kg.

It turns out that the body is the heaviest part of the car. It is exactly twice as heavy as the engine. The remaining parts of the machine have approximately the same mass.
