Replacing the pump on LADA Granta 8 and 16 valves, how to change it yourself video

Causes of a dying pump Poor circulation of coolant, extraneous sounds from the timing belt casing Malfunctions of the VAZ pump The causes of breakdowns can be various, for example, the formation of play or jamming of a bearing. It is not uncommon for the impeller to start spinning freely, but separately from the shaft. If the pump is leaking or making noise, then it also needs to be replaced.

From the factory, VAZs are equipped with TZA pumps, which have a long service life.

How to distinguish a fake? The pump must be in a high-quality box, inside it is a warranty card with the date of manufacture and stamps and a gasket. There is a holographic sticker on the pump.

Which pump to choose for 124 engine: TZA 21120-1307010-75 or HEPU P625, difference 300r)))))

Hello everyone, installed HERU twice, ran for 90,000 km (two timing belt replacements), the penultimate time installed TZA (seems to be the original), it started leaking after 29,000. Replaced it with Belmag, drove for about 2,000. Total mileage 267,000

Before that I installed a regular tza (2112), the new one had some play, and it started making noise after 15 thousand. Possibly from incorrect belt adjustment. Therefore, I switched to the Priorovsky timing drive

I installed tza powerfull (21126),

TZA does not serve any purpose at all. Hepi have many marriages going through one.

The HEPU drove less than 30 thousand km and began to rattle and leak. delivered TZA Powerfull! at xx it pumps like 2000 rpm!

Give a damn, it’s still some kind of Germany, and not a craft from AvtoVAZ and the surrounding Kulibins.

One of the trucks has covered 75 thousand km, the second one has now covered 30 thousand kilometers

Both are most often counterfeited. Look for the original and preferably Hepu. As for the TZA, depending on your luck, I installed the TZA when replacing it, and it immediately whistled, although I checked it for authenticity. I took Hepu in existential, the original arrived, it works pah-pah-pah. But as already written, even a high-quality pump can easily be killed by an overtightened belt.

Element malfunctions

The pump consists of several elements that ensure its operation. In particular:

You can determine the malfunction of a part by ear. Pay attention to noise from the timing belt. If you hear a rumble, then the reason may lie in this element. In addition, when the pump fails, the cooling of the car sometimes worsens, which automatically leads to increased overheating. Let's look at the main list of breakdowns that can plague the pump:

1. Autonomous rotation of the impeller.
2. The appearance of backlash.
3. Bearing wedge.
4. Element leakage.

In addition, it is recommended to replace the part after reaching certain mileage indicators. The standard is 100,000 kilometers. However, low-quality parts can hardly withstand 10,000 - 15,000 kilometers, so it is not recommended to save too much on the pump. Next, we’ll talk about which manufacturers’ products are worthy of attention.

Required materials and tools

To work you will need:

1. New belt.
2. Soft steel wire.
3. Socket wrench or socket number 13.
4. Spanners.
5. A pry bar or a strong screwdriver.

The alternator belt is not difficult at all if you do everything according to the method described above and follow all the recommendations.

Lada Granta is positioned by the manufacturer as one of the cheapest cars. The car entered the top 10 cars with the lowest cost, but not because of its outstanding qualities, but rather because of savings on parts. The absence of a generator belt tensioner leads to rapid wear of the latter. When is it necessary to replace it on a car with or without air conditioning?

Who to pay attention to

As a standard, VAZ cars are equipped with a pump manufactured by TZA. It is relatively good and can last quite a long time, but not all users are satisfied with its quality. An alternative solution could be Luzar. A trusted manufacturer that supplies pumps that are ideal for AvtoVAZ products. If you need a pump for a long time, Luzar may be a good solution.

If you prefer devices from foreign companies, it’s time to stop at SKF. A good option, characterized by an excellent price-quality ratio. Please note that you should not buy HEPU products. Its pulley is simply not suitable for Priora cars. A cheap but short-lived option would be Coram. This is a Chinese company that supplies inexpensive but very mediocre pumps.

Review of water pumps for Lada

There are currently a variety of brands and manufacturers of water pumps on the market; each manufacturer claims that its products are the best. We will try to impartially figure out what’s what, and consider one of the most popular items - a pump for front-wheel drive eight-valve VAZ cars.

To avoid any confusion, let's clear things up right away. Eight-valve engines on front-wheel drive VAZs were constantly modernized and changed, so the pumps listed below are suitable for all engines equipped with the so-called “eighth” timing belt. If we take it by model, then these are VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099, 2110, 21013, 21014, 21015, as well as Kalinas and Prioras of the first years of production.

Malfunctions

Water pump for car

The causes of failure can be different, for example, bearing jamming or the formation of play. Sometimes it happens that the impeller begins to spin freely, but separately from the shaft. The pump also needs to be replaced if it leaks or becomes noisy.

Life time. A lot depends on the quality of the pump. For example, a low-quality and defective pump can last only 10-15 thousand km. The service life of a high-quality part is when the Priora runs 100 thousand km. and more.

The manufacturer installs a pump on the Priora, produced by the Russian enterprise Togliatti Automotive Units Plant (TZA). It has a long service life.

Unfortunately, recently sales of counterfeit pumps from TZA have become more frequent. Is it possible to distinguish a fake so that your Priora does not suffer?

A high-quality box should contain a pump, inside the box there should be a warranty card with stamps and the date of manufacture and a gasket. It is mandatory to have a holographic sticker on the pump.

It has been used in impellers since the very first water pumps. It is still in use, but is gradually ending its “career”. The manufacture of a cast iron impeller does not require high technology; Cast iron has high corrosion resistance. However, cast iron has a rough surface and heterogeneous structure; In addition, cast iron has certain limits on shaping. Cast iron impeller blades will, by definition, be thicker than blades made from other materials.

How is the pump replaced on a Priora?

Replacing the Priora water pump. Warning! Do not turn the crankshaft or camshaft after the camshaft drive belt has been removed, otherwise the piston may hit the valves. Wear of the pump bearing (indicated by increased noise during operation) and leakage of coolant from the pump are the main defects of the water pump.

As a rule, repairing the water pump does not lead to the desired result, so it is recommended to replace the pump assembly. Replacing the pump is a procedure for performing actions that you can do yourself.

• You need to disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.
• Next, you should drain the coolant.
• Then the piston of the first cylinder is set to the top dead center position.
• Then the tension roller is removed.
• The camshaft toothed pulley is removed behind the tension roller.
• It is necessary to unscrew the 4 bolts and the fastening nut and start removing the rear cover of the camshaft drive belt.

Disassembly and installation of a new part

Personal experience Lada Kalina station wagon

First of all, you need to gain access to the timing mechanism, for which, using a No. 10 key, unscrew the 3 bolts securing the protective plastic cover. If you are disassembling a 16-valve Kalina model, you will have to remove 2 covers by unscrewing 5 bolts with a No. 5 hexagon.

Before further disassembly, you need to align all the marks on the crankshaft flywheel and the camshaft gear.

Otherwise, during the work you can disrupt gas distribution and create a new problem for yourself.

To align the marks, it is best to jack up the 1st front wheel, engage 4th gear and turn the crankshaft by turning the wheel manually. Before doing this, do not forget to remove the plug from the gearbox side that covers the marks on the flywheel. The mark on it should coincide with the groove on the body, and the camshaft gear mark should stand vertically at the top opposite the slot. Further disassembly is carried out in this order:

• using wrench No. 17, loosen the roller and remove the timing belt from the camshaft gear (in a 16-valve engine - from 2 gears);
• Using the same key, unscrew the bolt holding the gear, wedging it through the holes;
• remove the gear (both in the 16V model) without losing the key;
• dismantle the internal protective plate; in the 8V engine it is held on by 2 bolts, on the 16V engine by 5;
• unscrew the 3 bolts securing the pump and pull it out of the socket;
• remove the remains of the old gasket from the cylinder block.

If a cork gasket is supplied with the new pump, then it does not need to be lubricated with anything, but it is better to place a cardboard gasket on the sealant. The new pump must be inserted into the socket in the same position as the old one and secured with bolts. After this, you can put all the parts back, put on and tighten the belt. Double-check that the marks match before replacing the covers.

To prevent air pockets from forming when filling antifreeze, you need to remove the small pipe from the throttle valve heating unit. Filling is carried out until liquid flows out of it. Upon completion of assembly, it is recommended to check the system by starting the engine and warming it up to operating temperature.

The purpose and general design of the pump in the Lada Priora car

An auto water pump (VP) or pump is structurally included in the liquid cooling system (LCS) of a modern car and is its key element. The main function of this part is to ensure intensive circulation of coolant (coolant) through the engine's fluid circulation system.

Thanks to this constant movement, the temperature of the liquid decreases and its ability to cool other parts and systems of the car is restored. As a rule, the water pump on a car engine is structurally located in front of the cylinder block. Its drive is carried out from the crankshaft through a special wedge-shaped belt or from the gas distribution mechanism (timing) using a toothed belt.

A special toothed belt ensures the functioning of the car's water pump.

General pump structure

The Lada-Priora pump is a fairly simple mechanical unit, which consists of several main parts.

The pump design consists of several elements, one of which is the obligatory gasket

The main components of an engine water pump are:

Operating principle of the device

The operation of the coolant pump is as follows:

• with the engine running, the coolant that has cooled in the car radiator moves to the pump (in particular, to its impeller);
• the gaps between its blades are completely filled with coolant;
• due to the action of centrifugal force, the coolant is thrown by the impeller into different directions of the internal cavity of the HV;
• through the technological hole, the liquid goes into the channels of the cooling jacket of the motor elements;
• constant circulation of the cooling medium in the liquid cooling system is ensured.

Design Features

To prevent possible leakage, the pump body is installed on the engine cylinder block through a special gasket (for example, made of cardboard). The cooling fan, which is sometimes structurally located on the car pump pulley and driven simultaneously with it, is usually made of metal or durable plastic. To reduce operating noise, the blades of the structure are located at certain angles, in an X-shaped position, which corresponds to 110/70 degrees.

In order to reduce the power required to drive the fan, designers use a special electromagnetic clutch. This device can turn off the fan when the coolant temperature drops to a level of 78–85 degrees Celsius. In this way, the operation of the engine cooling system is optimized, and the noise level during operation of the unit is also reduced.

Do-it-yourself 220V engine heating installation

To start the engine in the cold season, you can use various methods that will facilitate this procedure (car factory, autonomous heaters, etc.). In this article we will consider heating the engine using a heating element from 220V. What are the advantages of such pre-heating, as well as the disadvantages of such additional equipment further... Engine pre-heating can be autonomous (devices for heating the engine that can work independently) and dependent (devices that cannot heat the engine without outside help) This article will discuss about dependent engine heating, or more precisely about engine heating from an outlet. Such heaters are usually called heating elements or boilers. Any pre-heating of the engine has its pros and cons (even such popular systems as Webasto), so heating the internal combustion engine must be selected individually based on the capabilities and needs of each. Operating principle of the heating element for heating the engine After connecting the boiler to 220V, the liquid inside the housing (3) is heated; due to the increase in the temperature of the liquid inside the housing, the pressure increases. The valve (4) closes the inlet pipe and, as the temperature rises, the liquid rushes through the outlet pipe. Due to the decrease in pressure inside the housing, the valve (4) opens , and the liquid begins to flow into it through the inlet pipe. As a result, a directed thermosiphon circulation of liquid is formed through the electric heater and the engine cooling system. Using a thermostat (6), the liquid temperature is automatically maintained in the SOD and prevents overheating of the electric heater. A large number of boilers can be found on the market from 220V, but which boiler to choose for heating the engine? For heaters from 220V, special heating elements should be used, which have a special coating and do not have boiling points on their surface, and therefore do not form deposits. Cheap engine heaters use ordinary heating elements from household electric kettles, which are not intended for work in aggressive environments, and especially in antifreeze (antifreeze). They are also not designed to operate continuously. As a result of using cheap heating elements, high temperatures “kill” antifreeze, or rather its additives (anti-corrosion, anti-foaming, etc.). As a result, scale and deposits form, which gradually clog the entire system. Below in the photo are heating elements that have corrosion and deposits - these are ordinary household heating elements. It is recommended to buy boilers for heating the engine of proven brands:

• JSC "Leader", Tyumen
• Start-M
• Severs-M

What power heating element should you buy? 0.5 kW - the power of the heating element, which can be used when parked to maintain a constant engine temperature.
This power is not enough to warm up the engine in severe frost. 1kW is the power of the heating element, which is recommended to be selected for 8kl VAZ 2110 engines. 1.5kW is the power of the heating element, which is recommended to be selected for 16kl VAZ 2110 engines. How long does it take to warm up the engine to start car in cold weather? The time is selected experimentally and depends on many factors (engine type, electric heater power, air temperature, etc.). Approximately: in order to easily start the engine of a VAZ 2110 16kl in cold weather -30C using a 1.5 kW electric heater, you need to count on a warm-up time of 30-60 minutes. Of course, you can turn on the engine heater for a longer time, then the engine will already be hot, but there will be no boiling. xn--2111-43da1a8c.xn--p1ai

Step-by-step instructions for replacing the pump on a Lada-Priora car yourself

It should be noted that it is impossible to replace the water pump on a Lada-Priora car without dismantling the engine generator drive.

Required Tools

When replacing the water pump on a Lada Priora car, you will need the following tools:

• open-end wrenches No. o10, No. o15, No. o17;
• spanners No. o15, No. o17;
• Allen key No. o5;
• two screwdrivers of different sizes;
• a specially designed wrench for installing the tension roller or a puller for retaining rings;
• Torx T-30 wrench used to remove the five screws that secure the front upper timing cover;
• mounting blade.

Photo gallery: a set of tools for replacing the water pump on a Priora

The procedure consists of performing the following operations:

The wire is disconnected from the negative terminal of the battery.

When starting work, the negative terminal of the battery is disconnected

The adsorber and underwater hoses are dismantled to gain better access to the water pump

It is necessary to dismantle the engine protective casing

The part is removed to gain access to the water pump

Aligning the timing belt to the marks is necessary for proper engine operation after installing all dismantled parts

Parts are removed using a special tool to gain access to the water pump

When working, you can use a screwdriver

Mounting location of the water pump on the engine

Assembly is carried out in reverse order.

The new pump must be sufficiently lubricated with a special lubricant. During installation, it is recommended to apply a sealant to the new gasket, which will provide the device with the necessary reliability during operation.

Installation of the water pump is as follows:

1. The tightening of the screw that locks the bearing installed in the VN housing is checked.
2. The screw is tightened if necessary.
3. The new pump is installed so that the product number is at the top.

Box appearance

Regarding packaging, now the pumps come in a white and blue box, it has a seal . The seal contains the seal number, all the numbers that are indicated on the packaging, exactly up to the last digit and on the sticker seal. This is not a piece of paper, it's a sticker, it's hard to tear . If you try to tear it, it doesn't tear, but stretches like tape.

The sticker seal has rounded corners . This is a TZA feature, it was on both old pumps and new ones. On fakes, the seal is made of paper.

At the bottom of the package there is a free space on which the production date, packer, and all packaging attributes are indicated. There must be stamps. If this is not the case, it cannot just leave the factory - it is clearly a counterfeit. Previously, there was an “authentication verification” sticker on the package and you could check it by sending an SMS. Now for some reason this is not the case.

The box is ordinary, cardboard. All VAZ front-wheel drive pumps, starting with nines and ending with Priors, Kalinas, Grants, come with a new type of impeller, the plant argued that “it’s better this way.” It really is. This pump has great performance.

Checking the serviceability of the water pump without dismantling it

To determine whether the water pump is working properly on a Lada-Priora without removing it from the car’s engine, it is necessary to take the following steps:

• start and warm up the power unit to its operating temperature;
• squeeze the upper hose from the radiator with your hand;
• By tactile sensations you can understand that coolant circulates through the cooling system, which means the water pump is working properly.

The presence of extraneous hum or noise in the pump area indicates an imminent possible failure of the device bearing. In this case, it is recommended to replace the auto pump with a new one.

During normal operation of the pump, coolant circulates intensively through this pipe.

Installation of a 6-hole thermostat in a VAZ 2110

Replacing a 5-hole thermostat with a 6-hole thermostat will make maintaining the coolant temperature more stable, and will also make your car noticeably warmer. How to install a 6-hole thermostat in a VAZ 2110? It turns out there are several solutions to this issue. Dozens of thermostats were installed differently, depending on the year of manufacture of the car:

1. first VAZ 2110 - old style thermostat (left picture)
2. until 2003 they had a 5-hole thermostat (2 pictures in the middle)
3. after 2003 they have a 6-hole thermostat (right picture) - that’s why they are considered warmer compared to the previous ones. (catalog number 21082-1306010-11)

Installation diagram for a 5-hole thermostat: You can install a 6-hole thermostat instead of any thermostat on the top ten without modifications. What will installing a 6-hole thermostat give?

1. More stable coolant temperature
2. More productive heater operation

For example, in winter at -25 degrees at idle, the engine warms up to 90 degrees with the heater running!
(with the old thermostat this was basically impossible) Approximate price: Thermostat (5 holes) from 800 rubles. Thermostat (6 holes) from 350 rubles. xn--2111-43da1a8c.xn--p1ai

Signs that indicate the need to replace a part

Experts believe that the main factors that indicate a faulty water pump are:

• coolant leaking from the housing in the oil seal area;
• wear of the built-in bearing, which is determined by increased noise, humming during operation, or jamming;
• insufficient circulation of the coolant used;
• excessive increase in the temperature of the power unit;
• reducing the level of coolant poured into the system;
• the presence of cracks, chips, chipping of the material of the pulley, housing or impeller of the water pump.

The water pump, as a rule, is a non-repairable component due to its design. Therefore, experts recommend a complete replacement of this important part.

The water pump for the Lada Priora is completely replaced if it malfunctions

Factory service life of the pump

The service life of a water pump depends on the supplier of the product or, in other words, on the build quality of the pump, the elements and materials used. A not quite high-quality pump can fail even after 10 thousand kilometers of the car. The service life of a good part can be 100 thousand kilometers without any signs of failure of the part.

Experts recommend installing an original water pump on the car from the manufacturer TZA (Tolyatti Automotive Unit Plant), which has good quality and a significant period of trouble-free operation.

Differences in pump production technology

Signs of a fake pump. This is clearly not the famous Gates. That's why we didn't include it in our rating, there are too many fakes.

Pumps are produced with six and seven blades; they differ in manufacturer and technical characteristics. According to various tests carried out, those models with seven blades perform much better during operation than its limited counterpart. Below we will present you with a rating of the five best pumps, the performance of which varies in the same range.

Possibility of installing an additional water pump on the Lada Priora

One of the disadvantages of the heater on the Lada Priora car is its low efficiency when the engine operates at low speeds in the cold season, due to insufficient coolant circulation. Therefore, the car interior warms up slowly and insufficiently, which causes some discomfort for the driver and passengers.

There are some requirements that must be met to obtain a high-quality result after installing an additional electric pump.

These include the following points:

• the installed product should not create excess pressure in the heater radiator during operation in order to avoid damage to the pipes or the formation of cracks;
• It makes sense to replace the thermostat and install this component with an increased opening temperature (90–95 degrees Celsius) due to the fact that as the speed in the coolant circulation increases, the engine parts will warm up more slowly, increasing wear on the power unit.

To solve this problem, you can install an additional water pump in the cooling system of the power unit, which will qualitatively improve the heating of the car interior even when the engine is idling. This technology is not new. Engineers have been using it for a long time. Examples include German cars BMW or Mercedes Benz.

Device selection

As a rule, devices from various manufacturers are suitable as an additional water pump for the Lada-Priora car.

These, for example, could be brands from:

However, most often the Lada Priora is equipped with an electric water pump, which is installed on Gazelle cars. This may be an old or new design, but the principle of operation is the same for both: due to the vacuum at the inlet during operation of the product, a pumping force arises, which drives the coolant through the system. In fact, the pump from the Gazelle car is a classic centrifugal pump.

The design of the new pump version is much more successful and causes fewer complaints from car enthusiasts. And it is also less noisy during operation. The main problem that motorists encounter when using such an electric pump is its leakage.

Installation and connection of an additional electric pump

To equip a car with an additional electric water pump, you will also need a regular relay that has normally open contacts (this can be an ignition or starter relay from a VAZ 2105, VAZ 2108). It is necessary to close contacts No. o86 and No. o30. And you will also need a reinforced hose and clamps for clamping the pipes.

An additional pump can be installed in any of the gaps in the supply or outlet pipes of the car’s heating stove.

Installation of an additional electric pump is quite simple, and the efficiency of the heater increases significantly

The pump is fixed in the Lada Priora in the following places:

• stud for fastening the washer reservoir;
• studs located next to the battery;
• on the engine shield.

The device can be connected to a wide variety of systems.

• recirculation button;
• SAUO stove block;
• heated mirrors;
• other convenient places.

Installation instructions for an additional electric pump

Installing an additional water pump on any car (including the Lada Priora has 16 valves) is, in principle, no different. It is necessary to place the electric pump in the section of the pipe, which is the input or output to the car’s stove and provide its power supply.

Step-by-step instructions for installing this additional component are as follows:

1. Provide access to the heater pipes under the hood of the car by removing components that interfere with operation.
2. Compress one of the rubber pipes that comes out of the heater (stove), which is done to prevent coolant from leaking out, or drain antifreeze (antifreeze) from the entire system.
3. Cut part of this pipe to the length of the corresponding pump being installed.
4. The length of the fittings is not taken into account due to the fact that they fit into the pipes.
5. It is necessary to select the diameter of the fittings on the electric pump in advance to obtain a high-quality connection.
6. Secure the rubber pipes to the pump fittings using metal clamps.
7. Attach the additional electric pump to a pre-selected location under the hood of the car (indicated above) using special fasteners.

An additional electric pump can be mounted in any place convenient for installation.

Video: step-by-step instructions for installing an additional electric water pump on a car

It is recommended to install such a pump only after a thorough check of the functionality of the entire cooling system of the car, since there are often faults in the stove, thermostat, and other components, which ultimately does not allow sufficient heating of the interior.

The water pump of the Lada Priora car is designed to maintain the internal thermal conditions of the car's power unit set by the manufacturer. Operating a motor with a faulty pump is guaranteed to lead to more serious breakdowns and, as a result, to significant financial costs. Timely replacement of a failed water pump will ensure a long service life for the engine, as well as comfort when using the car.
