Instructions for replacing, adjusting and installing the hood lock on a VAZ

Removal and installation

Removing and installing the hood of a VAZ 2114 yourself, without resorting to the help of a car service, is quite simple. How to do this will be discussed further. The hood is held on hinges located on the rear edge of the front end of the body. There is a hood lock with a hook at the front that prevents it from opening while the car is moving. In the open position, the hood rests on a metal stop. The lock has a cable transmission with a handle, which is located inside the cabin under the instrument panel on the left side.

To remove the hood, you need to open it and put it on the latch. Next, you need to disconnect the windshield washer hose from the tee, and also disconnect the electrical wires from the engine compartment lamp. Now you can unscrew the four bolts that secure the hinges to the hood. It is recommended that an assistant be nearby at this time to hold the hood in place. By unscrewing these bolts, you can remove the hood of the VAZ 2114 from the body. The withdrawal operation is completed. Installation is carried out in reverse order. But in the end, before tightening the fastening bolts, you will need to adjust the gaps between the hood and the body wings.

Adjusting the gaps between the hood and wings of the VAZ 2114

Open and put the hood on the latch. Loosen the bolts securing it to the hinges. Two on each side. We then cover the hood and position it so that the gaps between the fenders and the hood are equal on both the right and left sides. Now carefully lift the hood and tighten the mounting bolts securely.

The hood can be adjusted in height by changing the height of the adjusting pads. There are two. These bumpers must be installed so that the surfaces of the fenders and hood are level.

The height of the buffers can be adjusted by screwing or unscrewing them. After completing all these steps, you need to make sure that the hood now opens easily and is securely locked. If there is a loose closure or other locking problem, the hood latch will need to be adjusted.

Adjusting the lock

You may need to adjust the latch if the hood does not close properly or you need to use a lot of force to close it. In addition, this adjustment is necessary if there is vertical play in the hood when it is in the closed position.

In addition, this adjustment requires strong impacts when closing, as well as difficulties when opening. To complete this procedure you will need:

it is necessary to loosen the tightened locknut, holding the lock with a screwdriver so that it does not turn. Adjusting the latch height is very easy. To do this, you need to turn it on or, conversely, turn it off. To adjust the horizontal position of the latch, move it in the desired direction. After completing the adjustment, you need to make sure that the lock is working properly. If it still does not close or defects remain, the adjustment procedure will need to be repeated.

The adjustment is made by changing the position of the lock latch.

1. Loosen the locknut and position the latch so that when closing the hood it fits exactly into the hole on the front panel.

2. In order to adjust the protrusion of the lock retainer, unscrew the lock nut and use a screwdriver to adjust the protrusion. After that, fix it with a lock nut.

3. Check the lock and, if necessary, repeat the adjustment operation until the lock operates smoothly.

How to ensure ease of opening and reliable fixation?

For this purpose, a special part is sold that can be installed on the car yourself. This part is called the gas stop. They replace standard racks, as a result of which the consumer properties of the car are significantly increased. Opening the hood begins as follows. It is enough to slightly lift the hood with one hand. After this, the gas shutdown is activated. He himself will raise the hood to the required height and securely fasten it to it. The standard stop will no longer be used. This shutdown requires no maintenance during operation.

Many owners of VAZ 2114 cars prefer to install a gas strut on their car, especially since the installation process does not require much effort. For this you will need:

• The stoppers themselves;
• Two keys for 13;
• Four turnkey nuts with washers for 13;
• Drill;
• Drill 8 mm;
• Some enamels and bitumen.

First of all, we lift the hood and put it on the still old stop. Next, you need to mark the places where there will be holes that you will need to drill yourself. It measures 530mm on both sides of the hood.

In this case, the internal distance between the two holes will be 310 millimeters. Holes will be drilled in the thickening of the hood, inside of which there is a void. However, the procedure should be approached with all responsibility, because if you overdo it, you can drill a hole in the hood itself. After making sure that everything is marked correctly, we proceed directly to drilling. Using a drill you need to make four holes. Two in the hood bulge and two under the hood, one on each side of the cross member. To prevent the possibility of corrosion, it is recommended to treat the resulting holes with an anti-corrosion compound and paint. After this, you can proceed directly to the installation. We take the gas clamp and install it in the holes drilled on one side. We do the same with the second stage. They will need to be screwed. For those who work without an assistant, it is better to first screw the latches on the hood, and only then on the body. If there is someone nearby who can support the hood, the sequence of actions does not really matter. Upon completion, you can test the installed stops in action. You will have to try to open and close the hood several times. It should open smoothly and smoothly and not require much force to close.

Hood modernization and maintenance

In order to make the hood operation even more convenient, you can install a gas stop on it, which ensures almost automatic opening.

For this you will need:

• 2 stops;
• keys for 13;
• drill;
• drill 8 mm;
• bitumen.

The installation is performed like this:

Open the hood and put it on the stop. Drill 4 mounting holes, measuring 530 mm on each side of the hood (the distance between the holes themselves will be 310 mm)

In this case, two holes should be drilled in the body and two in the hood itself (it is important not to overdo it and not drill through it). Carefully coat the holes with bitumen to prevent corrosion. Place the gas stop in place and secure it with bolts. Install the second gas stop in the same way. As you can see, this operation is also quite simple and will not cause any particular difficulties

At the same time, such tuning can be very convenient - the hood, equipped with gas stops, will open on its own after a slight push with your hand, and when closing it will lower smoothly

As you can see, this operation is also quite simple and will not cause any particular difficulties. At the same time, such tuning can be very convenient - the hood, equipped with gas stops, will open on its own after a slight push by hand, and when closing it will lower smoothly.

Finishing the conversation about adjusting and replacing the hood, we should say a few words about caring for it.

The first thing worth noting is the need to periodically inspect the condition of the hood. So, if opening/closing becomes difficult, rattling or extraneous sounds appear, you should immediately check the fastening of the hood of the VAZ 2114 and, if necessary, fix it. If this does not help, then you need to perform vertical and horizontal adjustments, as discussed above.

The second thing you should always pay attention to is pitting corrosion. Even the smallest pockets of it should be removed - this will help avoid complete rusting and destruction of the hood in the future.

Small spots of rust should be cleaned to bare steel, then the cleaned area should be coated with a phosphating solution, primed and painted with automotive enamel.

Caring for the body in general and the hood in particular

It's no secret that the body is the main and most expensive part of any car. VAZ 2114 is no exception in this regard. The body of this car is made of high-quality metal and is quite well protected from corrosion. However, the effectiveness of factory anti-corrosion treatment also depends on the care and attention of the owner, the storage conditions of the machine and operating conditions.

Some cars have scratches and dents on their hoods. This is often due to the fact that the owners removed dust, dirt and sand from the body using a dry cloth. This is absolutely impossible to do. To remove dirt from the cap, you must first wet it with water and use a soft, damp sponge. If bird droppings are found on the hood or all over the body, you need to get rid of it as soon as possible. It is very aggressive to enamel and, if left on it for a long time, can even corrode the paint and expose the metal.

If you wash your body yourself, then in the summer you need to do it in the shade. If this condition cannot be met, it is necessary to immediately dry the washed surface, since stains may form when the water dries in the scorching sun. In winter, after washing the car in a warm room before leaving, dry the body and door seals, as the remaining drops will freeze, cracks may form in the paint, and the seals may freeze on the body. It is not recommended to use soda and alkaline solutions, as well as waste water for washing cars, so that the upholstery does not fog up.

In cases where even the slightest signs of corrosion are detected, such areas should be cleaned with fine sandpaper to bare metal. Then these places should be treated with special cold phosphating, primed and painted with automotive enamel.

If you have no experience in carrying out such work, then it is better to entrust this procedure to specialists, since the operation is quite responsible. Traces of corrosion on welded joints and joints of body parts are superficial and can be removed at an early stage using polishing pastes. It's not difficult to do this yourself. If measures are not taken in a timely manner to eliminate defects in the protective and decorative coating, this will lead to the development of corrosion under the coating layer, its peeling and swelling.

During operation of the machine, the bottom is exposed to aggressive chemicals, salt and sand. The filler and primer that protect the underbody wear down over time, leaving the bare metal unable to resist corrosion. That is why it is necessary to carefully monitor the condition of the underlying coating and, if necessary, restore damaged areas.

To maintain the shine of the paint for as long as possible, it is necessary to regularly polish the body using special polishing pastes. This is especially true for cars that are stored outside the garage in the open air. Polishing pastes are capable of sealing microcracks and pores that inevitably arise during operation. This prevents rust from appearing under the paint layer. Also, do not leave the car in the scorching sun for a long time.

Sound insulation of the hood

Many VAZ 2114 owners would like less noise when driving. It must be admitted that the engine of this car is far from silent. The noise from its operation is clearly transmitted into the cabin. Soundproofing the hood will help solve this problem. But you shouldn’t limit yourself to just this. For a more noticeable effect, it is necessary to implement sound insulation of the front wings and the walls of the engine compartment.

The hood is a rigid frame consisting of a welded steel profile, as well as a steel sheet, which, in fact, is the hood cover. You just need to cover the inside of the hood with sound-absorbing material.

Pieces must be cut out of vibration-absorbing material, repeating the shape of the cells between the stiffening frame. After gluing all the cells, you need to glue another material on top of them, which is called aluminum spleen. This will help significantly reduce the noise level coming from the engine compartment.

Instructions for replacing, adjusting and installing the hood lock on a VAZ

Unfortunately, a stuck or faulty hood latch is never one of those problems that drivers fix right away. Although adjusting this small mechanism twice a year would save many Zhiguli owners from the need to replace the hood lock on a VAZ 2114 at the most inopportune and urgent moment.

The locking mechanism gradually fails, only in 2% of cases does it suddenly break, the spring breaks or the safety hook comes off. In other cases, the lock gradually becomes loose, requiring the driver to slam the lid further and further. How to make a replacement, adjust the mechanism yourself, using a minimum of tools and without sufficient experience.

How to open the hood on a VAZ-2114: step-by-step instructions

If you are among those who do not know how to quickly open the hood of a VAZ-2114 on your own, our guide will help you.
First of all, you need to drive the car into a viewing hole or overpass and arm yourself with pliers and wrenches to remove the engine protection. If the cable breaks, there are two possibilities: it broke inside the car or under the hood itself. In the first case, you can fix the problem without removing the protection - inspect the cable for a break. Take the pliers and grab the inside of it, being careful that you grab the element itself and not the braid. After this, pull the cable towards you until the hood opens. If you did everything correctly, and the rupture occurred inside the car, then your problem will be solved.

If the cable breaks under the hood of the car, you will have to act in a different way. The repair must be done from below so that you can reach the lock, so the car must be on an overpass. While under the vehicle, remove the crankcase guard on the engine using two keys.

Next, you need to perform the following steps to remove the boot from the engine:

1. Remove it from the fastenings that you will find in front.
2. Bend the boot in the opposite direction.
3. Insert a screwdriver into the space near the radiator.
4. Try to reach the hood lock.
5. Find the latch by touch, press it, and turn it to the left.

If everything is done correctly, the lock will open. After completing these simple steps, you will remember how to open the hood of a VAZ-2114 step by step on your own.

Hood lock device

Details of the hood and lock: 1 - hood loop; 2 - buffers; 3 — hood; 4 - hook; 5 — spring hook; 6 — hook axis; 7 - pin; 8 — locking spring; 9 — sleeve with a locking rod; 10 — handle axis; 11 — lock handle; 12 — thrust sleeve insert; 13 — sleeve with a locking rod; 14 — hood stop bushing

The entire VAZ line has a mechanical locking device with similar main parts. VAZ 2114, 2115 have additional plastic protection under the bumper. This is important to remember when the cover gets stuck after a cable break. Otherwise, the locking mechanism has the following parts. For example, the hood lock of a VAZ 2110.

• locking pin;
• springs - lock latches, hook;
• lock-nut;
• safety washer;
• hook - hook axis, handle;
• cups - top, bottom;
• traction mechanism - supports, bushing, gasket, casing;
• lever arm.

The lock works in all directions from the Zhiguli and is extremely simple: when the hood is slammed, the pin enters the standard hole on the frame and is held in place by a spring. When you press the thrust handle in the cabin, the latch opens, opening a small gap. When the safety hook handle is pressed, the lid opens completely.

Hood lock functions

The purpose of any locking mechanism, be it the hood lock of a VAZ 2109 or a BMW, is to tightly hold the engine compartment lid, preventing dirt and water from entering the engine compartment. The engine compartment is optimally ventilated, but air should not enter through the cover.

The “disease” of 90% of VAZ cars is that six months after use, the hood lock begins to deteriorate: the cylinder wears out, the springs lose their rigidity, the cable (traction mechanism) frays, and cracks can form on it. Therefore, the lock should be adjusted twice a year, replacing faulty parts if necessary. Otherwise, a sharp opening of the hood on the highway is guaranteed.

Causes of hood cable failure

If you are faced with this problem, then it is useful for you to know the main reasons why the hood opening mechanism breaks:

• Cable wear due to vehicle operation. This most often occurs in cases where the hood is opened repeatedly. In addition, there are questions about the quality of the cable itself. Don't worry, because this problem is very common for 2110-15 cars.
• Corrosion of the steel from which the cable is made. Due to the influence of the latter, the material becomes less resistant to stress and at some point breaks.
• Incorrect installation of the cable due to which it rubs against other body elements or difficulty moving the cable.

Primary problems with the hood latch

The first malfunctions of the locking mechanism are immediately noticeable. If you pay proper attention to them, a simple adjustment will help fix the lock. The hood lock cylinder on a VAZ 2109, for example, is made of industrial steel, and for it to break completely, you need to ignore the first signs of a malfunction for more than a month.

1. Every time you close the hood, you have to slam the lid harder and even put pressure on the frame.
2. On bumpy roads the lid rattles and rattles. And you can hear it well in the cabin.
3. The lock does not close the first time.
4. When loosening the cable, you need to pull the handle several times to open the lock.
5. After pressing the hood handle into the interior, the lid does not rise, forming a gap, but remains in place. The gap between the frame and the cover can only be seen if you lift the cover yourself.

If these symptoms have just appeared in the car, you can adjust the lock, this will avoid the need for a complete replacement.

How to adjust the hood latch

The first malfunctions that the driver notices can be eliminated by simple inspection and screwing in or replacing some parts. Adjusting the hood latch on all VAZ cars is carried out in two main stages - horizontal and vertical.

Vertical adjustment

Vertical adjustment is a check of the optimal length of the lock latch. This must be done if the hood cannot be securely locked in the closed position. While driving, a rattling noise is heard, even with the engine running, when the car is standing still, a slight rebound of the cover is observed.

To make adjustments, use a 19mm wrench and a flat head screwdriver. Vertical adjustment phases.

1. Loosen the locknut on the holder. To prevent the latch from turning, hold it with a screwdriver.
2. If the hood does not close properly or does not close at all, the latch length will need to be adjusted. You just need to unscrew it (enlarge it) with a screwdriver.
3. If the lid rattles and vibrates when moving, the length of the latch can be reduced by turning the latch a few turns.
4. Checking the correctness of setting the latch length is carried out only experimentally.
5. There are no dimensions, calculations or measurements with a centimeter tape, even in production.
6. After adjusting the mechanism, the locknut must be tightened with a wrench while holding the lock latch.

Horizontal adjustment

On a VAZ 2115, it is necessary to perform horizontal adjustment if the lock jams when opening or a rattling sound is heard when moving.

Adjusting the horizontal stop is carried out in several stages:

1. The locknut is loose.
2. The latch stop moves in a horizontal plane so that when closed the cylinder coincides with the standard opening of the frame.
3. Check the installation and tightening of the locknut.
4. The adjustment helps eliminate the problem of small movements of the working mechanism under constant loads while driving.

If any part requires replacement, the lock is repaired.

Hood lock error
There are different types of machine malfunctions. Some we notice right away. For example, if the engine starts, it ends up cranking the starter, the power window or central locking doesn't work, the fuses blow, or a light doesn't flash, we take immediate action. However, it is likely that we simply do not notice faults that appear uniformly. At this time, repair of the hood lock

can be attributed to this case.

Locking the hood is high on the list of “gradual” breakdowns. Sometimes it crashes at one moment (it was working fine and suddenly.). The deterioration of his creativity is manifested, so to speak, step by step. And he pushed the hood further, hitting it again with greater force. It's closed, and that's understandable and good. Sell ​​it, the hood is closed, but is it tight? Could this little thing cause problems for a carefree car owner? As everyone knows, danger almost always creeps in from the other side, because busy people don’t expect it.

What functions does the hood lock perform?

The main purpose of the hood lock

is to keep the car's hood closed at least where (even if it's a parked car or speeding down the highway at a constant speed).

And selling most buildings will not be reproached, but at the same time they (gradually) do not provide sufficient security. Main. capture the moment when it needs to be replaced, as it is also called fixing such "nonsense" as the hood latch.

What he shouldn't do

You only have problems with your car's hood if:

• To close the lock, you will have to slam the hood several times, applying more force each time next time
• The hood
  rattles and “bounces” in potholes
• Opening the hood was problematic, the handle in the cabin reacts poorly.

If you're familiar with these inconveniences, then it's time to consider tuning, replacing, or repairing your car's hood.

Timely diagnostics and repair of auto parts will save you from hassle and unnecessary expenditure of time and money.

Replacement, repair or debugging?

First of all, we will decide on the inconsistency and scope of future work.

• If the lock sticks out from time to time, or the hood rattles noticeably when the engine is running, then normal adjustment will help.
• With constant jamming and futile attempts to regulate, the locking mechanism, the so-called cable drive, requires repair or partial modification.
• With very serious damage (wrinkled, destroyed, etc.) only a complete change will help.

The surface inspection method determines whether the device requires modification or whether repair is possible. Suppose that after the examination we determine that “the patient is more likely to be alive than dead,” and he will definitely come to life.

Hood lock repair

There are as many variations of hood latches as there are car models. If there are obstacles to its operation, the design features of this mechanism must be understood first.

Hood locking device

In fact, on all cars they are mechanical and consist of the same basic parts. Let's take a closer look at this device using the example of the VAZ-2109, because the hood

this car. bad habit. open on the go.

Repair

To repair a lock and replace parts, you will need the following tools:

• fixed key on 17 and 19;
• liquid oil for lubrication;
• Screwdriver Set;
• pliers or pliers.

Repairing a lock yourself requires a certain skill and determination, so you need to count on at least 2 hours. First you need to determine which mechanism in the lock has failed; most often it requires repair:

• springs (lock, hook, latch);
• replacement of traction.

It is unlikely that for the first time it will be possible to repair the hood lock in a few minutes.

Replacing the lock spring

The lock spring is located on the car frame. Wear, deformation and cracks in the metal prevent the hood from sealing. Using the VAZ 2114 as an example, inserting a locking spring can be done in several stages:

1. Disconnection from the spring of the traction mechanism. A screwdriver is used.
2. Removing the spring.
3. Installing a new retaining spring.

Replacing the latch spring

If you need to replace the latch latch spring, for example on a VAZ 2114, you will need a flat-head screwdriver and a 19mm wrench. Replacing the spring is carried out in three stages:

1. Kickback (loosening) of the lock nut.
2. Unscrew the pin.
3. When removing the locking mechanism, replace the spring with a new one and a similar unit in the reverse order.

After repairs, it is always recommended to check how the hood fits into place after replacing the part.

Replacing the hook spring

Unlike the previous two spring replacements, replacing the retaining spring will require thin pliers or tweezers. Repair is more painstaking and requires certain skills. The work is carried out according to the following principle:

1. Using a screwdriver, pry up the lock washer holding the shuttle rod.
2. The washer is removed from the grooves with tweezers (or pliers).
3. The hook axis is removed.
4. The spring has been removed.

Replacing traction

it is necessary to change the operation of the lock when the latches are activated and when the hood is opened using the handle from the passenger compartment, the lid does not open.

Traction replacement is carried out according to the following principle:

1. The cable is released from the hook (the hook itself does not need to be removed).
2. Key 13 is used to connect the handle axis.
3. The handle is removable.
4. The bent part of the cable is straightened with pliers.
5. The locking sleeve slides out and the end of the cable is released.
6. The ring is removed from the traction lever.
7. The thrust comes from the engine side.
8. The shell is removed from the supports and the part is replaced.

Assembling the new rod is carried out in the reverse order. After replacing any part, further adjustment of the mechanism is required.

In what cases will adjustment help?

Let's list the main malfunctions that you can fix yourself by just adjusting the car hood lock:

• The hood has become difficult to close; it requires repeated slamming and significant force to close it
• It has become problematic to open it (we pull and pull, but the reaction is zero)
• Doesn’t “bounce” when the cable is pulled; when closing, an extraneous knock of metal on metal is heard
• Rattling when the engine is running, in the pits.

Since it is almost impossible to describe all the models in one article, let’s take as an example a masterpiece of the domestic automobile industry - the VAZ car. Whatever they say, Lada cars roam the expanses of the former CIS more often than any foreign car. And, given their survivability, I think this will last for a long time... And based on the principle that this procedure, on almost all cars, comes down to similar actions (if you do not take into account the design features of the locks), you can derive a general adjustment formula. Let's start adjusting the locks, for example, for VAZ 2108, VAZ 2109, VAZ 21099.

Tools

To adjust we need:

19mm wrench.

Open-end or spanner wrench

Screwdriver, I usually use a "magic" set.

Screwdriver with replaceable bits

Oil for lubricating the lock (only liquid oil is suitable; “solidol”, “litol” and other similar lubricants are not suitable, since they harden at low temperatures, which makes the mechanism difficult to operate).

Machine oil

Desire, some free time, a head and two arms (preferably straight).

That's all we need to work

Installation of sports locks

Sports hood locks can be installed instead of standard parts or as additional insurance. It is advisable not to abandon the original locking mechanism; this is an additional guarantee that the hood will not be opened by an intruder; the clamps of VAZ cars are quite strong and can withstand significant mechanical loads when they are opened.

Installing sports locks on the hood of a VAZ will require additional tools and certain skills; the whole process takes several hours.

Tools and materials you will need

• tape measure or ruler;
• round file;
• drill;
• wrench 19;
• Phillips screwdriver.

Preparing for installation

Before installing the sports lock, it is necessary to accurately measure the points where the barbell attaches to the barbell.

1. Holes are drilled in the frame above the headlights and rods are installed.
2. the tops of the rods are greased and the hood cover is covered so that fingerprints are left on the cover.
3. the necessary holes must be drilled on the hood, following the imprinted marks of the connecting rods.

Hood drilling steps:

1. The hood cover is perforated from the inside.
2. Take a smaller bit and drill a hole through the solid wheel.
3. The hole is enlarged with a large drill.
4. Checking the holes for additional holes.
5. The hole should be 1-2 mm from the rod.

The preparatory procedure before installing the sports lock is completed.

Lock installation

Installing the lock also requires using a drill to attach it to the hood. Stages of work:

1. For example, the protective coating is removed from the plate on the hood lock of a VAZ 2106, the plate is applied to the hood and four holes are measured for attaching the plate.
2. Use a thin drill to drill the cover for the screws.
3. The plate is screwed on with self-tapping screws.
4. The rods are tightened in the optimal position.
5. The pins are inserted into the holes of the rods.
6. Installation of safety ropes.
7. Installation completed.

Of course, repairing and adjusting the lock is a simple procedure that you can easily do yourself. A well-reinforced cover means driver safety on the road; it’s hard to imagine what a hood that suddenly opened on the highway might look like.
