Alternative panel tuning option

To tune the interior of the “six” in an alternative version, it is recommended to stock up on plywood, several tubes of “liquid nails”, plumbing and carpentry tools, fasteners and fabric for upholstery. We carry out the work in the following sequence:

1. Using a pencil on the plywood, we mark out the elements of the dashboard, the locations for the instrument scales, and then cut out the individual panel elements. Do not forget about the stove faucet, the place for which must be beautifully cut out;
2. We take and adjust a small wooden block to the location for installation in the factory version of the panel. After that, we place it between the plywood sheets, so that it is integrated into the dashboard and secure it with self-tapping screws to the plywood;
3. We cut a place in the plywood for a radio or CD and for the manual transmission knob, as well as for the emergency lights and cigarette lighter;
4. After preliminary cutting and fitting of the base of the “six” dashboard, we cover the outer surface of the plywood frame with “liquid nails”, after which we carefully apply carpet-type cladding fabric;
5. After final drying, we install this structure in place of the dashboard.

Steering wheel tuning

A comfortable and beautiful steering wheel contributes to comfortable driving. To achieve this, in the “six” you need to update the steering wheel in the following ways:

Installing a steering wheel from another VAZ model

The simplicity of the Zhiguli allows you to replace the steering wheel with a steering wheel from other VAZ models. Many car owners believe that it is not worth the work and effort that needs to be put in.

The steering shaft of the chisel is thinner than the classic one, and not by much, that is, it is not very easy to make an adapter for the hub. Plus the steering wheel is higher, normally it won’t engage the turn signal bump stop. In a word, you need to suffer a lot to install it properly. As for me, it’s not worth it, if you really want a normal steering wheel, then you need to go and buy it, the choice is very rich right now, but you need to look at them carefully, there are so many leftists that it’s just terrible.

The standard instrumentation provides control of readings and displays the status of the main parameters of the car.

The standard dashboard of the VAZ 2106 has 5 dial indicators, provides control of readings and displays the status of the main parameters of the car

The product consists of the following list of elements:

• 5 pointer instruments;
• 2 digital indicators;
• 9 indicator lights.

Instrument panel VAZ 2106: 1 - fuel level indicator; 2 — fuel reserve warning lamp; 3 — liquid temperature indicator in the cooling system; 4 — oil pressure indicator; 5 - warning lamp for insufficient oil pressure; 6 — tachometer; 7 — speedometer; 8 — daily counter of the distance traveled; 9 — odometer; 10 — control lamp for turning on the high beam headlights; 11 — control lamp for direction indicators and hazard warning lights; 12 — control lamp for turning on external lighting; 13 — handle for resetting the daily trip meter; 14 — control lamp for covering the carburetor air damper; 15 — battery charge indicator lamp; 16 — indicator lamp for turning on the parking brake; 17 — rear window heating switch; 18 — fog light switch in the rear light; 19 — external lighting switch

The following devices and indicators are installed in the panel:

• speedometer;
• tachometer;
• battery charging indicator;
• engine temperature sensor;
• odometer;
• resettable mileage counter;
• oil level sensor;
• oil pressure gauge;
• fuel presence sensor.

What kind of dashboard can be installed

If for some reason the standard dashboard does not suit you, you can update it in several ways:

• modify the dashboard by improving the backlight and gluing modern instrument scales;
• install a tidy from another car;
• make a homemade shield with installation of the necessary devices.

Depending on the chosen option, both the costs and the list of work that will need to be performed will depend. When choosing a dashboard from other cars, you need to take into account that many models on the VAZ 2106 may simply not fit not only in size, but also in connection.

From another VAZ model

Due to the unique design of the “six” instrument panel, it is quite difficult to choose a suitable replacement option. Some car enthusiasts are installing a device from a VAZ 2115, for which they change the standard front panel to a “seven” one and build a new dashboard into it. Such modifications will require the purchase of additional components (speed sensor, wires, connectors), as well as the correct connection of the standard wiring to the new dashboard.

On a VAZ 2106 you can install a device from a VAZ 2115

From "Gazelle"

If you have thoughts about introducing a device from the Gazelle into the VAZ 2106, then you should take into account that the products have different connection diagrams, sizes, and in general they are very different from each other. Therefore, you first need to think about the feasibility of this kind of modification.

To install the dashboard from the Gazelle on the “six”, a serious alteration will be required

From a foreign car

An instrument panel from a foreign car, even from an old one, will make the front panel more beautiful and unusual. However, you need to be prepared for the fact that along with the tidy, you may need to replace the entire front panel. Most often, dashboards from BMW e30 and other foreign-made cars are installed on “classics”.

For the VAZ 2106 it is necessary to select the most suitable torpedo based on instruments and indicators

Electrical wiring of VAZ 2104: differences between modifications

The automakers coped with the task of producing a successor to the famous VAZ “two” without any problems - the “four” inherited almost all the elements and components from the donor VAZ 2105. Such unification made it possible to quickly launch a new model into series, so even the electrical wiring of the VAZ 2104 did not have significant differences. But with the advent of modifications, differences still appeared.

The dream of any summer resident of the 80s - the VAZ 2104 with a powerful engine and large capacity is capable of much.

Total information

The appearance of the VAZ 2104 station wagon on the domestic market was justified by several reasons:

• Firstly, its predecessor, the VAZ 2102, was based on a penny chassis, while the automaker was already mass-producing more modern models (see, for example, VAZ 21213: nuances of operation).
• And secondly, the country needed transport that would allow ordinary citizens to provide themselves with a universal vehicle that could be used to transport simple belongings over long distances.

The video presented in the article clearly demonstrates its capabilities as a multifunctional vehicle capable of not only transporting passengers within the city, but also as a means of active tourism:

1. travel to mountainous areas;
2. trips to nature;
3. long-distance routes to sea coasts, etc.

• The model turned out to be popular in the countries of the socialist camp.
• It was supplied there from 1984 to 2009 inclusive, and was offered under the trade names:

• Lada Estate,
• Lada Combi or Lada Nova Combi,
• Lada Riva Break.

Export versions have always been distinguished by high-quality painting

Note! The electrical wiring diagram of the VAZ 2104 in the export version was distinguished by the presence of a heated rear window and a windshield wiper on the rear door. Also, similar equipment was found in the VAZ 21043, which borrowed the interior and electrical equipment from the VAZ-2107, and since 1994 it has become standard equipment for all “fours”. You can read about other differences between AvtoVAZ export models in the article - how much better is the Samara Baltic version than its domestic counterparts .

Export models

The photo below shows the wiring of the VAZ 2104 and modifications of the VAZ 21043, which differed only in certain components of the rear of the car.

In particular, the diagram shows elements that are present only on export models:

1. Key switch for heated rear window (63) with a power indicator lamp located on the instrument panel;
2. Rear door window washer pump electric motor (66);
3. Rear window wiper motor (68).

Tip: You can learn about the role of wiring in a car from the publications in the “General Information” section.

Models for the domestic market

Before the appearance of the VAZ-21047 modification, the car was produced in a standard configuration, which allowed car owners to service it with their own hands. And many systems were quite familiar to car owners from other models of the domestic automobile industry.

Classic power supply system VAZ 2104

The Tolyatti Automobile Plant made no secret of the fact that the model was almost completely unified with the VAZ 2105, because even the factory instructions were issued the same for the two models.

There are no secrets: the “four” is an extended “five”

1. But with the advent of injection technologies in the VAZ production program, the VAZ 2104 wiring diagram for the injector was modified.
2. In particular, the Quartet received:

• five-speed gearbox;
• electrical equipment and interior of the VAZ-2107;
• power unit and new electronic units that controlled its operation.

VAZ 21047 borrowed equipment and components from the seventh model

For reference: According to the factory classification, models with an injection engine were called VAZ-21041i or VAZ-21041 VF, but in the automotive environment they were often called “four-seven”, “forty-seven” or more officially VAZ 21047.

Summary

Overall, the car turned out to be of good quality, which allowed it to remain on the factory assembly line until 2012. Among the features of this attractiveness are low price, the possibility of increasing the interior, ease of maintenance and availability of spare parts.

LED illumination of the “six” instruments

As a tuning option, diode lighting of devices is also installed, during the installation of which LED strip and lamps with diodes are also used. Some car enthusiasts are interested in how to make illumination for VAZ 2106 devices of this type and what is required for this.

So, to install LED backlighting for devices, you need 10 -15 cm of tape with diodes of the selected color, several diode lamps of the selected color and a soldering iron.

The order of work is as follows:

• We disconnect the negative contact of the battery and dismantle the instrument panel, disconnect from the connections the board with the instruments where the speed indicators, engine speed indicators, etc. are located.
• We take out the factory backlight bulbs for the instruments of the VAZ 2106 contour arrangement (4 pieces) and for convenience we dismantle the speed and speed indicators;
• We carry out preventive preparation of wiring and diode-type tapes, tested and suitable for use, measure the wires in sections of 3-5 cm, cut and clean the edges for connection, prepare for soldering and solder pieces of wiring with tapes and lamps;
• We prepare places for fastening LED strips and diode lamps, then we stretch the wiring on which the lamps are attached, and glue the tape and prepare the board for soldering;
• After checking the functionality, we assemble the backlight. We recommend the direction of the lamps in the following order: I – vehicle mileage indicator, II – limit (red) line of the power plant speed indicator.

The year 1975 plays an important role in the history of the VAZ automobile company. It was then, 40 years ago, that the first “six” rolled off the assembly line of the plant. Since then, the car has been extremely popular, VAZ 2106 owners have created numerous clubs, and many drivers claim that they would not trade their “swallow” for anything. Let's look at methods for tuning the dashboard of a legendary car with your own hands.

LED panel lighting

The most popular lighting for VAZ 2106 devices is LEDs. The panel looks especially beautiful at night. LED lamps of various colors are used for illumination. At least 2 bulbs are installed on the speedometer and tachometer dials. For small sensors, one LED is sufficient.

LED lighting around the entire perimeter will look more impressive. LEDs must meet the 12-volt voltage of the on-board network. When installing LEDs, be sure to observe polarity. Thanks to tuning, the VAZ 2106 tidy takes on an individual look and becomes more convenient and functional.

Seats

Tuning VAZ 2106 seats can be done in two ways:

• change the upholstery;
• replace the seats by taking them from another car.

Seat reupholstery

To reupholster the upholstery yourself, follow the instructions:

1. Remove the seats from the interior. To do this, move the chair back all the way and unscrew the bolts in the runners. Then slide it forward and also remove the bolts. Remove the seats from the interior.
2. Remove the headrest by pulling it up.
3. Remove the old trim. To do this, unfasten the plastic side pads on the seat. They are attached with self-tapping screws. Use a flat-head screwdriver and pliers to bend the tendrils located around the entire perimeter of the chair. At the back, between the back and the seat, there is a metal spoke. Remove it along with the upholstery.
4. Open the upholstery at the seams.
5. Cut off the old seam allowances and lay the resulting parts on the new material.
6. Trace the pattern, adding 1 cm to the seams.
7. Cut along the outline.
8. Sew the parts exactly along the contour.
9. On the wrong side of the future trim, make loops for the knitting needles. Sew longitudinal strips of fabric in half, stitch them to the upholstery and insert metal knitting needles.
10. Turn out the finished covers. Place it on the seats and attach it to the frame, hooking it onto the iron tendrils. Fold the tendrils so that the fabric holds tightly.

Installing seats from another car

Updated seat upholstery will decorate the interior, but will not make them ergonomic or comfortable. To do this, seats from another car are placed in the “six”. Seats with a distance between the runners of approximately 490 mm are suitable here. Many car owners say that seats from Ford Scorpio, Hyundai Solaris, VAZ 2105, VAZ 2107 fit well into the interior. But to get a good result, you cannot do without replacing the fasteners.

Replacing seat fastenings

The slides on which the seats in the “six” are located are not located at the same level, so the old fastening requires replacement. To do this you need:

1. Move the seat back all the way and unscrew the front bolts. Then move it forward to the dashboard and remove two more screws from the runners.
2. Turn the seat a little and remove it from the passenger compartment.
3. Use a grinder to cut down the stands.
4. Weld new fasteners.
5. Reassemble the interior in reverse order.

Beard tuning

The center of the car interior is the console, which is called the beard. It acts as a continuation of the torpedo and attracts the attention of all passengers.

When tuning, you can place in your beard:

Typically, the beard for “classics” is made from plywood, fiberglass, or from spare parts from foreign cars.

Beard drawings can be found on the Internet or taken measurements from an old console. For the pattern, thick cardboard is used, which holds its shape well. The template is transferred to plywood and, after carefully checking the dimensions, cut out along the contour. Next, the parts are connected with self-tapping screws. The finished frame is covered with leatherette or other material in the color of the upholstery. The material is secured with a furniture stapler and glue.

Self-tuning of the dashboard

Improving the dashboard of a VAZ 2106 with your own hands is not so difficult. First, release the torpedo placed underneath it. Prepare car instruments with fashionable white dials. A car enthusiast can make dials with a whitish color on his own: you can find the necessary samples on the World Wide Web and reproduce them on a printer using photo paper. Holes are cut out in the scale, and instrument hands are painted with dark varnish to contrast with the white dial.

Once released, the dashboard is covered with flock or faux leather. This will make her more attractive. It is carefully cleaned, coated with Moment glue, onto which the leatherette is attached, the material is smoothed, after which the panel is left for a while to allow the glue to dry.

Improved dashboard

During the drying process, excess leatherette is trimmed, the remains are folded and glued again. You can use electric backlighting consisting of blue light diodes, replacing the old filter at the same time. Diode bulbs are a good addition to the tachometer and speedometer, and one diode is enough to illuminate small sensors and instruments.

Using a felt circle cut out for the edging of the dials will give the LED backlight a vibrant look. Holes are cut in the panel for the measuring sensors, all excess is removed, then the sensors are inserted and connected to the existing wires.

Instead of a clock on the “six” dashboard, it is best to install a voltmeter with a white dial, choosing it so that it is similar in appearance to other sensors. The work of transforming the “six” dashboard is considered very painstaking, but the monetary costs for its implementation will be very small.

Typical malfunctions of the instrument panel

Deviation of the scale arrow indicates a malfunction of the device and damage to the wire that connects the sensor to the pointer.

The following malfunctions of the instrument panel elements are possible:

• the arrow on the scale of the coolant temperature sensor is constantly either in the initial position or in the red zone;
• the fuel gauge needle: does not leave the initial position even with a full tank, always lies at the end of the scale, moves jerkily and often returns to the beginning of the scale;
• The fuel reserve indicator light is constantly on or does not light up;
• The oil pressure indicator does not light up when the ignition is turned on, it lights up constantly, and goes out at high engine speeds;
• speedometer, tachometer faulty;
• The flexible speedometer drive is noisy.

Device malfunctions are eliminated by replacing sensors, contacts, devices, and restoring wiring.

Problems when paying with bank cards

Sometimes difficulties may arise when paying with Visa/MasterCard bank cards. The most common of them:

1. There is a restriction on the card for paying for online purchases
2. A plastic card is not intended for making payments online.
3. The plastic card is not activated for making payments online.
4. There are not enough funds on the plastic card.

In order to solve these problems, you need to call or write to the technical support of the bank where you are served. Bank specialists will help you resolve them and make payments.

That's basically it. The entire process of paying for a book in PDF format on car repair on our website takes 1-2 minutes.

Tuning the gear knob

A worn-out gear shift lever can be updated in three ways:

A new leather cover for the gearshift lever can be purchased at a car store. This is a ready-made product that needs to be put on a lever and secured in the floor or under the rug with a special ring.

Or you can sew the cover yourself using a pattern.

Most owners of “sixes” shorten the gearshift lever. To do this, unscrew the lever, clamp it in a vice and saw off about 6-7 cm with a hacksaw.

The simplest and most affordable way to tune the gearshift knob is to replace the knob. A new accessory is screwed onto the lever, which will decorate the interior of the car.

The main advantage of tuning is its uniqueness. For owners who are in love with their cars, the possibility of tuning brings trepidation to the soul. In addition, a tuned car reflects the character of the owner. An unprepossessing car turns into a dream car and attracts the admiring glances of passers-by. Tuning is beautiful, so go ahead and realize your ideas.

Tuning dashboard VAZ 2106

In the front part of the cabin of any car there is a dashboard, which includes an instrument panel, a stove and additional controls. The correct name for this car part is “torpedo”

Not only car enthusiasts, but also manufacturers pay great attention to it.

The torpedo on a VAZ is not a very expensive part of the body. Many drivers try to make its appearance more attractive

This is correct, because when sitting behind the wheel of your car, you first of all pay attention to the instrument panel, that is, to the dashboard of the VAZ 2106. If it is in poor condition, it is useful for the driver to know 3 effective ways out of the situation

Transformation of the torpedo and interior of the “six”

1. Instead of the old dashboard, install a new, modern one. The result will bring joy to the car owner, but the cost will most likely upset you. Such a procedure for replacing a dashboard on a VAZ will be quite expensive. And the latest generation dashboards are not reliable and safe, which characterizes old factory torpedoes.
2. Puttying and painting. This is an interesting option for improving the instrument panel, but the result is unlikely to last long. After a certain period of time, all painting work will have to be done again.
3. Dashboard upholstery with artificial leather. Not every driver will be able to perform this operation beautifully and competently. Craftsmen who do it well will charge a lot.

Torpedo tuning

The top front panel of a car is called a torpedo. It is a solid metal structure covered with polymer foam and film. It contains an instrument panel, glove compartment, interior heater, air duct deflectors, and a clock.

The front panel is an important element of the interior, which can be tuned in different ways: replace the dashboard completely with a new one, paint it with liquid rubber, cover the smooth surface of the dashboard with leather, film or flock. Before starting tuning work, you need to remove the panel.

Torpedo dismantling

Removing the console occurs as follows:

Tuning options for the VAZ 2106 torpedo

There are several options for tuning a torpedo:

Video: do-it-yourself reupholstery of a VAZ 2106 torpedo

Installing the trim on the dashboard

Installation involves removing the dashboard from the car. This will simplify the installation of the lining, perform the work faster and with better quality. Degrease the surfaces of parts with special care: wipe them with anti-silicone, which is used when painting cars.

The applied glue should firmly adhere to the surface of the VAZ dashboard; to do this, you need to walk around the entire perimeter of the spare part with fine-caliber sandpaper. As a result of such actions, active adhesion of the glue to the surfaces will occur. The manipulations performed will help to properly apply the primer to the plastic. The soil must be evenly distributed over the entire plane. The primed surface should be allowed to dry; it should not be subjected to further processing for some time.

The plastic cover can make squeaks when the car is running; to avoid this, you need to secure it with self-tapping screws and carry out additional gluing. The durability of the VAZ torpedo lining is guaranteed both by the color scheme and the shine. But high temperature conditions can be fatal: the lining above the instrument scale will deform.
