How much does it cost to install a hydraulic booster on a VAZ 2114

2001 was the year of the appearance of a new project from the domestic automaker AvtoVAZ. The model had two names - Samara-2 or VAZ 2114. In fact, it was an improved version of the well-known nine.

EUR kit

The modernization turned out to be very serious, affecting literally all components of the car. The steering system was no exception. Unlike many other models produced by AvtoVAZ, the 2114 offered a choice of two power steering units - hydraulic power steering and electric power steering .

How to install power steering on a VAZ 2114

From its very production, the steering system of the VAZ 2114 car assumed the possibility of installing power steering using an installation kit.
This also applies to electric power steering or simply EUR. This modification will make it easier to turn the car and increase comfortable handling. This is especially true for drivers who drive in the city most of the time.

The main difference between power steering (power steering) and electric power steering is that the strength (efficiency) of the former directly depends on the speed of the engine. At high speeds, turning the steering wheel is too easy. This affects both ride feel and handling.

To overcome such problems, the power steering is not connected directly to the motor, but using a gain regulator. This is exactly the functionality that an electric amplifier has. The operation of the electric power steering is not characterized by a direct connection between effort and motor power, which allows it to be used as much as necessary in a specific situation.

For the VAZ 2114, a similar EUR is suitable as for the Lada Priora.

Additional advantages of using an electric booster instead of power steering:

• Less maintenance requirements (no need to monitor oil, connections).
• In cold weather there is no need to warm up, as when using power steering.
• Installing the EUR is much easier (no need to interfere with the engine compartment).
• High reliability.
• The only downside is the lower power, although on passenger cars like the VAZ 2114 this is not at all noticeable.

Types of devices

• Electric.
• Pneumatic.
• Mechanical.

The pneumatic one is very complex; there are a lot of elements: a cylinder, a compressor, pipelines and pipes, a reinforcing mechanism, etc. This entire design is very unreliable and the slightest malfunction in the operation of at least one component leads to the absence of an effect as such. The mechanical amplifier looks like a set of different gears in the body and its effect is achieved due to a changed rotation ratio, here there is minimal gain.

That is why today you can most often find power steering on a car; it was precisely because of its reliability, simplicity and efficiency that it was chosen for installation on the VAZ 2114. The most dangerous breakdown that can happen is a leak of working fluid. Next, we will look at how to correctly understand and determine the location of the leak in the system and how to correctly replace the working fluid in a VAZ 2114.

So, opening the hood we can see the first and most noticeable element, which includes the power steering. In general, the remaining elements fit into the steering gear housing and are no longer distributed throughout the engine compartment and car body. We will also immediately need some kind of container into which we will drain the already used liquid. Anything can fit, even a bucket, even a canister. We do not recommend that you throw away the drained oil; it will be quite useful in some minor repairs just for lubrication. Under no circumstances should you add it to the already new oil of your VAZ 2114: the oil must be homogeneous. You also need to let the car engine cool down so that everything cools down and if the oil gets on your hands, it doesn’t burn your skin.

In its place, you immediately need to insert the hose that is lowered into the container that we prepared in advance to drain the already used liquid. Now, under the influence of gravity, the oil will slowly ooze into our container.

Now you need to immediately proceed to pouring new oil. We must turn off the engine and return to its place the hose that was originally at the bottom of the tank. Fill two-thirds of the oil tank level and start the engine. Now you need to turn the steering wheel again from side to side so that the power steering is pumped with oil and the air is released from the system.

You also need to leave the tank lid open to allow air to escape. As the liquid leaves the tank, we will need to add oil. You will have to turn the steering wheel until the oil stops leaving, after which you need to tightly seal the tank.

That's all, this is exactly how the working fluid is replaced in the amplifier of a VAZ 2114 car. As you can see, there is nothing complicated about it, you can easily do it yourself and even without help. The oil must be selected carefully so that it is ideally suited to the design of this car.

Installation instructions

When installing an electric power steering, it is necessary to take into account that it will be necessary to replace the steering column of the VAZ 2114 with an “electrically driven column”. To do this, let's start with the wiring. You will need to deal with the pads. There will be no need for any “twists”. There is a terminal in the block that we need to remove and insert into the block in the harness.

We insert the free terminal of the harness exactly into the place where the standard wire was. You don't need a special harness for this. Connect two 4 square wires to the battery. Don't forget to connect a 50A fuse. The “weak point” will connect to the tachometer, speed sensor, ground, K-line and wiring to the warning lamp. Don't forget to check the presence of speedometer and tachometer signals.

1. Remove the casing with switches and ignition switch.
2. Unscrew the bolt on the rail and remove it. We need to determine how much larger the “native” part is than our new one.
3. We install the shaft on the EUR. After this we attach the shaft itself in its place.
4. Setting up the wiring. We stretch two cables to the battery from the passenger compartment, preferably through the left wing. To conduct wiring you can:

• First remove the washer fluid reservoir.
• Take a solid wire and drag it through, trying to get to the hood.
• As soon as it appears near the hood, we attach our wires to it.

• We pull it out together with our wire.

1. We connect the EUR electronics. There is a red connector under the instrument panel with an orange wire in it. It is to this that you need to connect the electric amplifier.
2. Similar procedures must be done with the gray wire.
3. We connect the power ends. In the battery we connect the pink one is a plus, and the black one is a minus.

I have this problem on my Priora. In short, I go to work, get into the car, start it, warm it up, start to move away and the EUR turns off, and only by the end of the evening it doesn’t seem to work for me. I decided to check the charging and this is what happened: with the engine running 13.9, with a stove 13.7, with dimensions and a stove 13.5, with low beam and with a stove and dimensions 13.3 and all together and the high beam in general 13, I think that’s why the EUR turns off because it doesn’t have enough power, I think There's something wrong with my generator, who knows?

Is there any difference with the gur from the Priora?

Is there any way to do this without drilling holes in the engine shield?

intermediate shaft from a two-wheeler with a steering wheel? And the rest remains standard?

Well done. I only dream about this in my dreams))

nothing complicated, you just need to find the gur himself at an attractive price

I thought that the power steering couldn’t be stuck on a cap, but then I found this. Cool, good job!)

Well, thank you! Info is what you need. ! I'll install it for myself.

The other day I bought myself a rack with power steering and a pump, everything is almost new for 4.5 I got this pleasure. I would like to know more about the brackets

Could you post pictures of where and how I secured the tank... and I can’t tighten the belt, what’s the easiest way to do this? and I would also like to surprise you with how you laid the return line

the return line on the right side is secured to the standard bolts of the steering rack boot on top of the heater hoses, the reservoir is secured on an additional support by turning the bracket over and sawing off the excess, the belt is installed like this: you put the generator on, pass the belt and pulley through it, take the steering wheel in your hands and pass it through it belt and pull it with your hands until the steering wheel falls into place; if you put the 940 in, it will whistle!

Could you post pictures of where and how I secured the tank... and I can’t tighten the belt, what’s the easiest way to do this? and I would also like to surprise you with how you laid the return line

I'll take some pictures tomorrow and try to add them

You've started something dangerous, judging by the photos, handsome guy) I thought about installing an EUR for myself, but then I realized that it's not worth it)

Adjusting the steering wheel position

If you don’t like the height and position of the steering wheel, then you will need to grind the edges of the shaft to the size you need or install gaskets between the plate and the body. It is worth remembering that the electric power steering is automatically switched off at speeds above 50 km/h, unlike the same power steering.

Installing electric power steering on your own is quite possible. You just have to remember that even for an experienced driver it will take a lot of time and effort. But for a lover of comfortable driving, the result will justify all costs and hopes.

Power steering (power steering) on ​​VAZs appeared only starting with the VAZ 2110, while owners of the VAZ 2109 can only be content with steering without power steering. Not everyone is ready to put up with this, so people independently install the power steering from the VAZ 2110 (2112) to the “nines”. In this case, we get not only less effort on the steering wheel, but also a rack with a lower gear ratio - 2.8 turns instead of 3.8, which contributes to faster steering.

Let's look at how you can do this yourself in this article. This article will consist of two parts, in the first part we will look at the installation of the power steering pump, in the second - the installation of the steering rack under the power steering.

Go. First, remove the generator with bracket:

The pulley for the generator belt needs a ripple pulley, as in the figure below, so if there is another one, then we change it to this one:

This is what the VAZ 2110 power steering pump looks like together with the bracket:

The bracket needs to be modified, namely, unscrew the engine mount, saw off the ears of its mounting, and also saw off the far right mount (it gets in the way). In the end it should look like this:

Next, instead of the generator, which we will install above, we install a power steering pump:

As you can see, the second bolt will need to be shorter.

Next, we install the generator bracket, in our example it was taken from Kalina, with a tensioner. This is what it looks like assembled with the generator:

The bracket is installed with 3 bolts in standard places:

Our generator is also from a VAZ 2110. To install it, you will have to cut the “TV” a little:

Next we install the generator and belt. You need a belt marked 6PK975 (or 970).

VAZ 2114 cars are supplied for sale with steering systems that allow the installation of a hydraulic or electric power steering wheel. The EUR is a unit used to ensure smoother and, importantly, comfortable driving by easily turning the steering wheel. You can learn more about how to install the EUR on a VAZ 2114 from this material.

conclusions

The process of installing electric power steering on a VAZ-2114 is quite long and not just a process that will require a lot of time and effort. Of course, to many motorists, it will seem quite complicated and almost impossible. Therefore, if a car enthusiast is not confident in his abilities, he needs to contact a car service center, where everything will be done quickly enough.

The VAZ 2114 car is one of the most used and purchased today. This is a modification of the same “nine” that became widespread right from the release of the first series from the factory assembly line. The same car received a lot of new products at its disposal: from an injection engine and a soft suspension to softly comfortable seats.

The feasibility of installing EUR

Does it make sense to install power steering (power steering) or power steering on the “four”? In this case, it is impossible to give a universal answer, since it is unique for each motorist. Of course, with power steering or electric power steering, the process of turning the steering wheel will be easier, making driving more comfortable. But there is another side to the issue - firstly, the cost of the power steering or electric power steering kit, as well as the rather complicated installation of the system yourself. In general, it’s up to you to decide, but if you decide to install an electric booster on your car, we will help you with the installation.

Characteristics

The ESD serves to reduce the force applied to the steering wheel required for maneuvers.

It is optimal for the VAZ 2109 to install an electric amplifier borrowed from the Lada Priora. New AvtoVAZ models are produced on the basis of old ones, so the parts are perfect for nines that have not been produced for a long time.

When choosing an EUR for installation, make sure that it meets the following characteristics.

EUR from Priora

The choice in favor of just such an electric amplifier for the VAZ 2109 is due to its advantages:

• Installation is quite easy;
• The ESD will require a small amount of energy to operate;
• Eco-friendly device;
• Adapts perfectly to AvtoVAZ classics, including nines;
• Allows you to drive comfortably even at high speeds.

Detailed Installation Guide

So, if you decide to install electric power steering on a VAZ 2114, then you need to take into account that you will also have to replace the steering column itself. In particular, instead of a standard device, you will need to install a column with an electric drive; accordingly, our repair process will begin with the wiring. You will need to deal with all the connectors and connectors, because you must do everything beautifully, without any twisting of the wires. The block has a special terminal that you will need to remove and then install it on the connector in the harness.

The free terminal of this connector is installed in the place where the standard wiring ran; no special harnesses or adapters are required for this. You only need to connect two 4 square cables to the battery. To ensure the safety of this section of the electrical circuit, it is additionally necessary to install a 50 ampere safety element.

Next, using the so-called weak current, that is, not a power wire, you need to connect to the following elements:

• tachometer, used to display the number of revolutions of the engine crankshaft;
• a speed sensor used to indicate the speed of the vehicle;
• mass, that is, the car body;
• diagnostic K-line;
• as well as to the control light (the author of the video about installing the unit at home is the sokur64 channel).

After completing these steps, you will need to diagnose the presence of a tachometer signal, as well as a speedometer.

If there are signals, then the further installation procedure is as follows:

1. The plastic casing on the steering column, where the switches are installed, as well as the ignition switch, is dismantled. To do this, you need to unscrew all the bolts that secure the protective cover.
2. Then you need to unscrew the screw installed on the rail and dismantle it. At this point, you will need to determine how much the size of the assembly installed during production differs from the size that will be used.
3. At the next stage, the shaft is mounted directly on the electric amplifier. After this, the shaft itself must be fixed at the installation site.
4. The next step is to configure the electrical circuit. It is necessary to run two wires from the vehicle interior to the battery; alternatively, this can be done through the left fender. To do this, you must first dismantle the expansion tank of the washer system, and then, using the hardest and thickest wire, stretch it. You need to try to get to the engine compartment.
5. When the end of the wire appears in the engine compartment, you need to attach the wiring to it. Next, both wires will need to be pulled out along with the wire itself.
6. Having completed all these steps, we proceed to one of the main steps - connecting the electric amplifier electronics. Under the dashboard in the “four” there is a special red block, inside of which there is an orange cable. The EUR contact itself must be connected to this wire. The same actions are performed with the gray wire.
7. Then the power ends are connected. Pink and black wires are connected to the battery, pink to the positive terminal, black to the negative. At this point, the installation process can be considered complete. Check the functionality of the installed system and, if necessary, adjust the device.

Heater fan replacement procedure

• in the engine compartment of the car, remove the fan casing and unscrew the screws that hold the part in place;
• remove the air supply grille, which is secured with special bolts;
• remove the rubber seal located directly under the grille;
• remove the dashboard from the driver's seat and disconnect the wires connected to the motor;
• slightly move the motor together with the protective casing, removing it from the clamps and removing the non-working part;
• remove the fan from the casing;
• we connect to the car’s electrical network and mount a new motor, after which we reassemble in the reverse order;
• connect the terminal to the battery and check the functionality of the stove.

We strongly recommend choosing a new and original motor to ensure trouble-free operation for a long time. If you still buy a used part, be sure to check its technical condition, integrity of contacts, and operability.

As you can see, the procedure for installing a new heater motor on a VAZ-2115 car does not require a lot of time, special skills and knowledge. Therefore, it is absolutely not necessary to take such a minor problem to a car service center, where the cost of such repairs can be quite high. Just buy a new part and install it, following all the recommendations given in our instructions.

The nuances of adjusting the steering wheel position

If you are not satisfied with the position of the steering wheel or its height, this can be corrected by adjustment. To do this, it is necessary to grind the edges of the industrial shaft to the required dimensions or install gaskets between the device body and the plate. When making adjustments, you must remember that the EUR itself is automatically turned off when the vehicle speed exceeds 50 km/h.

Price issue

The cost of electric power steering for a VAZ 2114 car may vary, depending on the store where it is purchased, as well as the region of the country. On average, the price for a complete system set varies around 22-24 thousand rubles. On the Internet, you can search for stores where the EUR kit is sold on promotions - with a discount from the seller, you can purchase the unit for 20 thousand rubles.

Possible problems

Some drivers note that in a VAZ 2114 with a hydraulic booster, the control system becomes as if weightless. This can be confusing. When the gain is lost, the steering wheel has to be turned more often.

Wiring

As for replacing the hydraulic booster with an electric booster, this is a more than possible option for improving the car. It is considered one of the simplest but most effective types of technical tuning. However, it is strongly not recommended to perform such operations yourself.

Choose specialized car services that specialize in technical modifications and tuning of the car. AvtoVAZ cars, which include the VAZ 2114, are beautiful because they are literally created for tuning. Many young drivers choose the “fourteenth” model as their first car. This is due to the wide possibilities for modification with minimal investment. This car lends itself perfectly to external tuning, and the current spare parts market makes it possible to improve the internal filling. This includes replacing the power steering with electric power steering.

To install power steering on a VAZ 2114 you will need:

• power steering pump,
• bracket for mounting the power steering pump,
• generator bracket "Kalina",
• rivulet belt 960 mm long,
• alternator belt tensioner rocker arm,
• generator belt tensioner roller "Kalina",
• bushings,
• interior boot of the VAZ steering wheel with power steering,
• petrol and oil resistant hose D 12 mm. 2 meters and D 16 mm 1 meter,
• power steering fluid reservoir,
• clamps for petrol and oil resistant hoses,
• nylon clamps,
• bolts, washers, nuts,
• power steering oil,
• generator belt tensioner "Kalina".

Connection to electrical equipment

The electric power steering control unit takes a signal from the speed and crankshaft speed sensors. Connection to the vehicle electrical systems is carried out as follows:

1. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.
2. Locate the spare sockets in the fuse box. You need to connect the device through them. Find the reserve wire in the harness, connect the power supply to the electric power steering unit.
3. If it is not possible to use backup sockets, then you need to power the electric amplifier from the ignition switch through a fuse. So that when the ignition is turned off, the electric drive does not work.
4. The negative power wire must be connected to the car body.

At this point, the connection of the power section can be considered complete. Connecting controls is done as follows:

1. The speed sensor must be connected to the right chip.
2. The wire coming from the tachometer must be connected to the left chip.
3. Install both chips on the electric power steering.

This completes the connection. You can install electric power steering on a VAZ-2114 with your own hands without any problems. But it’s better to do all this at a service station so that the technicians can issue you a document confirming the correct installation of the equipment. Only in this case will you get rid of problems during maintenance.

Why not hydraulic booster?

Power steering in VAZ 2114

The electric power steering on the VAZ-2114, the installation description of which will be given below, has a number of advantages when compared with hydraulic devices. The hydraulic booster requires a pump that creates pressure to operate the steering wheel. And these are already unnecessary elements in the design.

The condition of the pump must be constantly monitored; leaks may appear in it, which will lead to failure of the power steering. The electric device is much simpler, its service life is very long, it is undemanding in maintenance, which will be very useful for lazy drivers. And most importantly, the cost of an electric amplifier is almost half as much. And when operating a car there are no costs at all.

Power steering fluid, when it needs to be changed

Like all technical fluids in a car, power steering fluid also needs maintenance, especially during intensive use of the vehicle. Although some car manufacturers do not regulate the service life of power steering oil, considering that it is filled for the entire life of the vehicle and only requires regular topping, it should still be changed occasionally. Over time, the liquid can lose its properties, become diluted with condensation, become darker, as a result, the steering wheel no longer turns so easily, vehicle control deteriorates and there is a considerable risk of an emergency.
