Roma-Urraco › Blog › Found a new export VAZ-21099 that had been sitting in a garage for 25 years
After the summer vacation period, we are opening a new season of garage finds and “time capsules.” This time a subscriber from the Nikolaev region contacted me and said that his friend had a practically new VAZ-21099 in his garage, which had not been used for a very long time.
It was decided to go for a detailed inspection of this specimen. The car was located in the suburbs of Nikolaev and stood for a quarter of a century in a large heated garage, littered with various rubbish. The VAZ-21099 in the “wet asphalt” color, fashionable for the 90s, turned out to be manufactured in 1993.

Moreover, this Samara also turned out to be an export version, as evidenced by the engine compartment plate in English, an additional plate with a configuration map, as well as on-board literature in English. Judging by the bill of lading, which was in the glove compartment, the car was intended for foreign trade in Turkey, and it was transported through the Kerch seaport.

Stylish food, in my opinion
The sedan's odometer shows 994 kilometers. We drove the cars a little right after purchase and even did a little tuning in the spirit of those years: we installed fender liners, mudguards, a car radio, Sanyo speakers in the front doors, a massive outdoor antenna and even an alarm system. Along the way, we did a comprehensive anti-corrosion treatment of the bottom and chassis.

It is noteworthy that despite the year of manufacture 1993, all elements and parts of the car are marked “Made in the USSR”: engine, tires, tail lights, relays, and so on. And, for example, the headlights here are made in Czechoslovakia. It turns out that the Tolyatti plant had a decent supply of components for assembly, or that the suppliers had not yet had time to change the dies.

As for the history of model 21099, this sedan was prepared for assembly line production in March 1990, but the start of production was delayed due to a delay in the supply of components from related companies.

Where is the VIN VIN number of VAZ LADA 2114
We determine where the VIN number is located on the most popular model of the Lada VAZ 2114, or simply the popular four.
The VIN number is stamped in three places:
- in the engine compartment on the right side of the strut cup.
- on the summary plate with the vehicle’s passport data, nearby on the right side on the wall of the engine shield
- the third place in the trunk is in the spare wheel niche next to the spare wheel mounting bracket.
The engine number is more complicated; it is stamped on the right side of the engine (when viewed from the open hood) under the air filter housing at the end of the cylinder block next to the thermostat housing.
When purchasing a VAZ 2114, always check the readability of the VIN number to avoid questions when registering the car.

Number on a 16-valve engine (Super-Auto)
This engine was installed on the VAZ 2114 with the Super-Auto package. The differences in configuration are the installation of a 16-valve engine under the hood. therefore, the VIN and engine number of the model have slightly changed their location. Where can I find the engine number for a VAZ 2114 in this configuration? The index is located under the air filter pipe, so to find out the engine number, you will have to dismantle the housing or at least bend it to the side. The number is located at the end of the engine block on the 4th cylinder side near the thermostat, almost at the junction with the head.
The location was chosen by the manufacturer and raises questions, since it is often covered with dirt from the road surface. Therefore, to check, you will most likely have to not only remove the air filter housing, but also wipe the block of dirt to try to read it.
Where is the VIN located on the VAZ 2114?
The VIN number is a unique vehicle code assigned to cars since 1980. In case of theft, he is the one who helps to identify the car. You can find it in 3 places:
Decoding the VIN code in Samara 2 Having found the code, it is important to understand what meaning the numbers carry. The VIN is made up of 14 numbers and letters, each of which stores information.
For example, consider the number XTA211440А8569235
Knowing the symbols, you can decipher any code. Also in the decoding process, a table will help you, which contains the designation of each country, year, etc.
How to decipher the VIN code
This code contains 17 characters (they can be either numbers or letters), each of which is responsible for certain important information.
For example, let's take the following identification number: XTA211440А8569235.
You can decipher this VIN code for the VAZ 2114 as follows:
- the first character is the territorial zone (X - Europe);
- the second character is the country of origin (T - Russia);
- the third character is the manufacturer (A - AvtoVAZ);
- six consecutive numbers - car model;
- 10 character (can be either a letter or a number) - year of manufacture of the car;
- the last seven consecutive digits are the vehicle body number.
Information plate
Separately, it is worth noting the information table that is located on the right on the front pillar. The table contains a duplicate engine and body number. In addition, information is included about the year in which the car was produced, the plant that produced it, etc. In fact, all that information that is a priori basic.
However, the fact that it only duplicates meanings does not detract from its importance. This means that her condition should also be good. If there are small areas of rust, you need to get rid of them; if there are small chips, which make access to information difficult, then, if possible, the plate needs to be replaced. Ideal condition - smooth surface without rust and the presence of rivets that fix it to the car body.

Topic: Vin Ambiguity
In the title vin, the code x7d is indicated. special marks in the column - xta.
xta was indicated in the insurance, x7d in the registration certificate.
It turns out that if you don’t carry a title, then the insurance and the Certificate of Registration are talking about different cars?

Re: Vin ambiguity
So it was necessary to ask why the certificate does not indicate whether or not the special identification number (VIN) of the vehicle is stamped on the support of the right telescopic pillar. XTA – manufacturer code;” taken from Murzilka.

Re: Vin ambiguity
But it’s okay when Murzilka was written. No one other than AvtoVAZ assembled these cars?
The first 3 letters of the VIN code, the index of the manufacturer, the CAR and not the body.
The car was made in Syzran. That's why the first letters of the VIN are X7d. However, the body was made at VAZ and its number begins with XTA. So in this case, it’s the VIN on the plate. And not on the glass

What to do if the engine number is unreadable?
It is not surprising, but older generation cars are highly susceptible to corrosion. And it’s one thing when the damage affects the body, and quite another when the numerical values of the engine number on a VAZ 2114 are affected. The driver faces consequences during the first traffic police inspection.
If you find the code unreadable, do not attempt to sand the metal or use acid. This will damage the numbers, and employees may consider the result to be code tampering. The only thing you can do in this situation is to moisten a rag with brake fluid and wipe the VAZ 2114 engine number. This method will save you from loose corrosion and the inscription will become like new. It is advisable to carry out this procedure regularly. If cleaning the metal does not help, then you will be sent for examination. This process is not quick and is paid by the driver. Your PTS will be taken away and your registration will be seized. Therefore, if you were planning to sell or buy a car, you will have to wait. When you pass the examination, a mark will be placed in the PTS if it is proven that no interference with the code was detected and it was lost due to natural reasons. Unfortunately, this does not always happen and there is a chance that you will not complete the procedure the first time. In this case, the car owner faces big problems. To prevent such an outcome, it is enough to clean the engine compartment from time to time. By the way, this will not only help preserve the engine data, but will also provide it with better cooling, since heat removal from the metal will take place much faster. As you noticed, traffic police officers treat the engine number and VIN code with special attention. Not surprising, since these are two characteristics of a car that significantly influence its confirmation. Therefore, when buying a car, first of all, check the numbers in the documents and in the vehicle itself, and after the purchase, monitor their condition. This is not difficult to do; it is enough to clean the engine compartment and the engine injector block (8 valves) from time to time. This service is available at many car washes, and it can also be performed manually. By taking care of your car, you will not have unnecessary problems and hassle with documents in the future if you want to sell or re-register it.
Lada 2115 Black_Beast › Logbook › Carrying out number verification.
Good afternoon, I want to share my story about how I went through the verification of numbers in my city. The day started as usual and I wanted to go through the inspection procedure early before being re-registered with the traffic police. Having arrived at the inspection site, I went out and asked people standing around about how the inspection was going. I took a place in the queue in front of the standing cars; the queue was not very long. There were two columns and 4 cars stood under the roof, waiting for one inspector to inspect the car. The employee performed the work quickly and smoothly, checking 2 cars of one column, and then moving on to others. And finally, my turn came, I drove up, lifted the hood and stood waiting with the documents ready for them to come up to me. The inspector comes up and, without looking at the documents, immediately examines my rear part of the suspension, pointed out the presence of rectangular “spacers”, they say changes to the design - remove. I think: “Okay, to hell with it,” he looks further, opens the back door and writes me for the lack of headrests and a middle seat belt, although it was present, it was just slightly hidden under the seat. Regarding the engine space, he said that everything seemed to be in order, but he needed to remove the bolts from the air intake to check the engine number and “sent” it to be fixed without looking at the documents. I left, slightly upset that I had not passed the inspection, and began to think about what to do. I still had to go to work, I was running out of time, I called my father, he was just on vacation and wasn’t doing anything special. I explained the whole problem, went to him, he immediately understood everything that needed to be done, it’s good that he also has a 15-year family trip, he left the car, at the same time asked to change something else, but about that separately, and went about his business. When I return, it means it’s already too late to see my father, it’s already dark, I see my black beauty all sparkling and shining. After removing the spacers, the car sank in the back, I pulled out the headrests from my car and installed them, and changed some consumables. My happiness knew no bounds, I thanked my father for all the work he had done and drove home. The next day I also drive up, the same inspector comes out, inspects it, says that everything is in order, checks the engine number, photographs the car from different angles and checks the VIN code. He asks me to get the spare tire, at first I didn’t understand what it was for, but then they explained to me that there was a duplicate VIN number - he checked everything, everything was fine, he took the documents and asked me to go to the waiting place and receive the finished documents, namely the application. I had to wait a little, and at the same time I stood with other drivers, I came across one who also had a spot, but with an incorrect engine number - nothing went well either. There I signed up through Gosuslugi.ru for the day I needed and found out that I could pay for the state bill there. the duty is not 850, but
600 rubles, since there is 30 percent for payments for various types of activities. All that remains is to get your passport and that’s it.
Where is the body number?
The body number is located under the hood. Duplicated in two places.
- The number is stamped on the body next to the “glass” on the right support of the car.
Body number on the nameplate
Is there a chassis number in the trunk?
Since you have already climbed into the trunk, we recommend installing a net in it. Read more about how to choose a net for the trunk here.
When I registered it, I looked for the body number in the usual place for AvtoVAZ. This place is the trunk niche for the spare tire; this is where the number was on all my previous Lada models (VAZ-2109, VAZ-2114, VAZ-2115, LADA PRIORA).
In a Lada Granta car there is no body number in the trunk niche!
Is there a body number in the cabin?
Before going and registering the car, I read on the Internet that there is a duplicate number in the car under the back seat in the middle. It was also written that you need to lower the backrest, pull the upholstery out of the seal, or find a slot in the upholstery under which the number will be located.
This information is not correct, and on a Lada Granta car as standard, there is no body number in these places!

Where to look for the engine number on a VAZ-2114
In accordance with official criteria, the engine number of the VAZ 2114 is located on the cylinder block. More precisely, this is the place near the thermostat on the right side; The clutch housing is located slightly lower than the location of the VIN code itself.
To facilitate the search process and direct comparison, you need to remove the air filter. It is advisable to do this together with the pipes, because they will block access. It is also necessary to pay attention to the fact that the process of applying the VIN code itself is a method of impact branding. This means that the number is unlikely to be erased on its own due to wear and tear of the car.
Which VAZ models are preferable?
When choosing a used car, one of the main parameters is its cost. For used VAZ cars with a price tag of 40-50 thousand rubles. It's better not to pay attention at all. For that kind of money, in most cases, sellers offer a pile of scrap metal, which will require considerable financial investment and frequent repairs. Next, let's look at more expensive options.
Budget 60-70 thousand rubles.
In this price category, it is optimal to choose representatives of the classics - VAZ 2105, VAZ 2106 or VAZ 2107. It is advisable to buy a car no older than 2003-2004. These are reliable and time-tested cars, which, with proper care and compliance with operating rules, will last for many more years.
Budget 80-90 thousand rubles.
Here the undoubted leader is the VAZ 21099, released 10-12 years ago. It is better to choose a vehicle with an injector. Experts do not recommend buying cars with a carburetor. If you decide to choose this model, pay special attention to checking the brake system. Make sure that there are no oil or other liquids leaking, and that there is no rust on the arches and sills. In addition, the weak point of the VAZ 21099 is the interior heater, so make sure it is working. Another problem inherent in these models is the strong rattling of interior trim parts, which, however, is observed in almost all old Zhiguli models.
Information tag
In addition to the papers for the car and the aforementioned brand, all information is also present on a special metal plate that is attached to the body with rivets. It states:
- VAZ-2115 body identifier;
- year of issue;
- Business name;
- some technical characteristics of the car.
When you open the hood, you will immediately see a rectangular tag. It is located on the opposite edge of the engine compartment, slightly to the left of center when facing the windshield.
Despite the fact that the described plate only duplicates the information, its safety is also important. Clean it regularly, remove rust and ensure secure fastening.
You can also find the VIN code at:
- right front axle shock absorber strut;
- in the trunk, at the bottom of the spare wheel niche.
VAZ body 2115 and its features
At the Auto VAZ plant, body 2115 was used as a replacement for the popular, but already obsolete 21099. The 15th model was created on the basis of the 99th model and copies it not only in terms of repeating the main lines of the body, but also in other indicators. On the other hand, this car received completely different lighting technology, and the shape of the hood and rear was different. We will find out from the article what the features of the VAZ 2115 body are, what its dimensions are and how it will be possible to modernize and strengthen it.
VAZ 2114 engine number: what you need to know about it
When registering or deregistering a vehicle with the road inspection authorities, the engine number is checked. This is required in order to accurately confirm the legal origin of the car. In addition, the need for verification may also be required during operational checks on the road, for example, if a similar car is reported stolen.
Before purchasing a new car, you should definitely check that its engine number matches the number indicated in the documents. Indeed, if the engine is not original, serious problems may arise during registration.
For this reason, every car enthusiast should know where the VAZ 2114 engine number is located and how to check it.
The need to verify the number
The arrow indicates where to look for the engine number
Whenever you buy a car, you need to check the engine number with what is on the documents. This applies to both registration and deregistration of the vehicle. Below, we will tell you where to find the engine number on a VAZ-2114 car.
The need to check the engine and body numbers, without exception, on any vehicle is primarily due to the fact that you do not purchase a stolen car.
Further, difficulties may arise if the engine is no longer original. It could have been changed, for example, removed from disassembly. And during verification, unnecessary problems will arise.
All numbers and letters indicated on the unit must completely coincide with those in the documents, excluding cases of correction . It is also necessary to pay attention to their integrity , that is, they should not have any mechanical damage.
Where is the number located?
According to the requirements, the VAZ 2114 engine number is applied to the car engine using impact stamping. It is located on the side of the cylinder block, on its right side near the thermostat. Directly below the number is the clutch housing.
To get a good look at the number, you should remove the air filter along with its pipes, since they almost completely block access to it.
When inspecting the room, you should make sure:
If, when purchasing a car, it turns out that the license plates do not match those in the documents or the digits of the license plates look suspicious, then it is better to refuse the purchase. After all, such a discrepancy will bring many problems to the new owner, not only during registration, but also in the future.
