VAZ 2114 stove pipes: features and main problems

Replacing the tap

To replace the faulty faucet of the VAZ-2114 stove, we will need 10/13 wrenches (socket ones will work much more conveniently), rags, a Phillips-head screwdriver, and a container for draining the coolant. Dismantling algorithm:

• we drive the car onto an overpass/inspection hole, place a prepared container with a capacity of about 5 liters under the drain hole, unscrew the plug and wait until all the antifreeze is drained;

We look in the engine compartment for the pipes connecting the power unit to the tap, use a screwdriver to loosen the fastenings in the form of clamps, and remove the pipes;

• go to the interior, unscrew the screws that secure the left panel cover;

• on the right side under the panel we find the heater tap, to which the pipes from the engine compartment are connected, put a rag under them and use a screwdriver to remove both pipes;
• go back to the engine compartment, find the studs on which the faucet is attached to the car body, unscrew the bolts with a 10mm wrench;
• now nothing is holding the crane, we go into the interior and pull it out, disconnecting the drive fastening cable;

• We attach the cable to the new tap, install it in its original place and reassemble it in the reverse order.

Basic aspects of tuning

Car tuning is not only about illuminating the dashboard with LEDs. Tuning the VAZ 2114 stove is required in situations where cold air blows from the sides of the stove, or the interior is heated unevenly.

To do this, you need to remove the side cover on the gas pedal side. The clamps holding the throttle cable should be loosened. Then you need to pull it back and tighten the clamp. Next, you should install the damper control levers. From this moment on, warm side air should blow, warming the driver and passengers in the cabin.

Heating system repair

At the second stage of tuning, it is necessary to ensure that air coming from outside passes through the heater. The operation of the damper and the tap is carried out by the operation of one engine. It should be ensured that it does not control the damper. To do this, the right cover of the torpedo is removed, and then the one located on the right is disconnected and pulled from the two temperature control cables from the engine. The damper should be in its maximum position. The cable should be tightened and the excess should be trimmed.

Modification of the pipe is required if the air flow from the left deflector is too weak. It needs to be forcibly strengthened. To do this, you need to install a fan with a diameter of about 50 mm in the pipe. You can use a computer fan. First you need to remove the deflector. Then, having made a hole of the appropriate size, insert the cooler and seal it. Next, the pipe with the cooler needs to be returned to its place and the power supply restored.

Replacing pipes

As a rule, when replacing a faucet or heater radiator, all pipes are replaced, especially if they have been in place for a very long time and have not been replaced before. The operation of replacing the pipes of the VAZ-2114 stove will also be required if one of the pipes is damaged. Unfortunately, in the latter case, you will have to complete all steps from 1 to 25 described in the instructions for replacing the heating radiator. After access to the radiator and tap has been opened, loosen all the clamps and carefully remove all four pipes. They can stick to the seats, so you need to work very carefully so as not to damage nearby nodes or injure your hands.

Installing new pipes, as a rule, does not cause much difficulty, but you should not immediately tighten the clamps to working condition. First, we reassemble in the reverse order, fill in fresh antifreeze, start the engine and let it run for 15–20 minutes to check for coolant leaks. After the engine is turned off and cools down a little, you can tighten the clamps until they are fully tightened.

VAZ stove faucet: types and design features

There are three main types of car heater valves. The factory faucet for the stove is a standard factory part of an automobile heating system (the principle of operation is the oscillatory movement of a rubber membrane). Disadvantages: susceptible to oxidation and short-lived, quickly fails. Advantages: relatively low price.

The ceramic faucet of the VAZ 2114 heater has distinctive design features (a plastic body with a locking element consisting of two ceramic locking plates). Disadvantages: compared to a ball valve, there is a low coolant throughput and a rather high cost. Advantages: very reliable and durable part.

Repair/replacement of resistor

A faulty resistor may be indicated by the fan operating in one mode, when manipulations with the switch do not affect its blowing speed. To replace the resistor, you need to prepare a screwdriver with a Phillips head, fine-grain sandpaper and a multimeter. Algorithm of actions:

• disconnect the negative terminal of the battery;
• unscrew the screws that secure the right console cover;
• Use a screwdriver to unscrew the screws securing the right cover of the center console;
• you will have access to the resistor, from which you need to disconnect all the wiring and evaluate the contacts for burning. If the contact surface is oxidized, use sandpaper to clean it down to metal;

• It may well be that the resistor has lost its functionality precisely due to burning/oxidation of the contacts, so we assemble everything in the reverse order and check whether the fan will work in all normal modes;
• in case of a negative result, again remove the negative terminal, the panel cover and unscrew the screw that secures the resistor to the body;
• We remove the resistor and use a multimeter to measure the resistance at the resistor inputs and at the inputs of both windings. In the latter case, the indicator indicating the working condition of the additional elements is 0.2 Ohm. For the entire resistor, the standard resistance should be 0.8 ohms. If the multimeter readings do not match the specified values, replace the resistor with a new one, and then reassemble in the reverse order.

The operating principle of the power unit is based on the chemical reaction of the fuel supplied to the cylinder in a gaseous state and its ignition element. As a result of the correct relationship of all elements and the choice of ignition moment, the translational movement of the piston is carried out, which is converted through numerous components of the vehicle into linear movement of the VAZ 2108.

When burned, the fuel mixture produces enough heat, the release of which does not affect the overall level of functionality of the engine. But overheating of the VAZ 2109 engine, determined by the cloud of steam billowing from the hood, indicates problems with the cooling system, which are currently presented more dramatically for the car owner. The most obvious symptom is a violation of the integrity of the rubber pipes. Some cooling system problems can be identified by warning signs from foul smells and steam coming from under the hood. Correct operation of the engine depends entirely on the owner’s timely attention to these signs of possible malfunctions.

The removal of excess heat from the engine is carried out by cooling the coolant through a radiator. The connection between the power unit and the remote radiator is provided by rubber pipes that pass the coolant through the radiator tubes, where it is cooled, dissipating excess heat outside the vehicle. The heat exchange process is carried out on a continuous basis, allowing the engine to remain at the optimal temperature.

Switch replacement

If, after repairing or replacing the heater resistor, the fan continues to show signs of life in only one mode, regardless of the position of the switch, it is necessary to check the functionality of the latter. To do this, we again need a screwdriver, as well as scissors (or fairly powerful tweezers). Work order:

• remove the negative terminal from the battery;
• unscrew the 4 screws that secure the right panel cover;
• remove from the slots and pull out the switch by pulling it towards you;
• Using scissors, tweezers or another suitable tool, unscrew the nut that holds the switch;

• on the right side of the console, remove the switch, identifying and disconnecting all connectors from it;
• inspect the contacts for scale, rust or other defects, clean them with fine sandpaper;
• We install the switch in place, connect the terminal and check its operation. If there is no effect, the switch must be replaced with a new one.

If you perform any of these operations for the first time, it may take a lot of time, but you can save on buying extra spare parts and gain invaluable experience in replacing a VAZ-2114 stove. It is worth noting that for VAZ 2112 - 2115 models there are no fundamental differences in the repair or replacement of heating system parts.

Is it possible to replace the radiator of a VAZ-2114 stove without removing the control panel

With the onset of autumn cold weather, many owners of VAZ cars complain that the interior heating works very poorly and does not provide a comfortable temperature. There are many reasons for this problem, but the most basic of them is a clogged stove radiator, which gets dust, small stones, poplar fluff, etc. How to determine that this is the case?

Diagnostics is quite simple - you just need to put your hand on the supply and discharge pipes of the device for a few seconds. If their temperature is noticeably different (the inlet pipe is hot and the outlet pipe is cold), then you will need to replace the radiator of the VAZ-2114 heater. Otherwise, you should pay attention to such details as the temperature sensor (thermostat), pump impeller and others.

Main causes of malfunction

There can be several reasons for such problems, but the most common are:

1. Worn or damaged pipes.
2. Incorrect connection of pipes.
3. Broken stove tap.
4. Radiator failure.

The first of these reasons - wear of pipes - can occur for natural reasons during operation, since the chemicals contained in coolants have a corrosive effect, which is complemented by the influence of high temperature.

In addition, the hoses of the VAZ 2114 stove can be easily damaged by over-tightening the clamps on them. When such damage occurs, fluid leaks from the system.

In total, VAZ 2114 cars have 4 pipes. Two of them are located under the hood and two in the cabin.

Their damage, which led to a coolant leak, can be judged by the following indirect signs:

• there is a constant drop in the liquid level;
• a specific smell appeared in the cabin;
• A puddle of coolant forms under the car or in the passenger compartment while parked.

If at least one of these signs is observed, then urgent diagnostics of the pipes should be carried out and their replacement.

Tightening the clamps on the pipes should be done with medium force. Over-tightening may damage them.

How to remove a stove radiator

The process of dismantling the heater radiator on VAZ-2114 cars can be carried out in two main ways. The first involves removing the entire control panel, as well as other elements surrounding the part being replaced. We recommend carrying out repairs in this way only if you have the appropriate experience and are completely confident that after completion of the work there will be no “extra” components left. No such confidence? Then it is better to contact a car service or carry out repairs in a simpler way, which we will describe below.

It does not require dismantling the torpedo, but to perform repairs in this way you will definitely need an assistant. Work is carried out in the following order:

• remove the console and glove compartment;
• unscrew the bolts and screws that hold the front panel so that it moves freely in different directions;
• remove the cables for controlling the operating modes of the stove, which are located on the driver’s and passenger’s sides;
• remove the radiator cap;
• dismantle the rubber radiator pipes. It is advisable to first place a basin or other container under the device so as not to spill antifreeze on the floor;
• We hire an assistant. His task will be to carefully move the torpedo to the side, which will allow the radiator to be removed. In this case, you need to be extremely careful not to break anything or tear out the front panel of the car by the roots.

Features of installing a new radiator

Installation of a new radiator and assembly of the car is carried out in the reverse order. At this stage, it is important not to accidentally lose the panel fasteners, and also to follow the rules listed below:

• It is better to install new clamps on the radiator pipes, which will ensure complete tightness of the heating system;
• It is advisable to lubricate the outlet and inlet fittings of the device with soap or some detergents to simplify the installation of the pipes, as well as improve their fit to the fittings;
• The central pillars of the panel need to be secured especially well, since they are responsible for the main functions of driving the car;
• after the panel is installed and secured, you need to check that the cable settings are correct, and also make sure that the faucet and valves are open to the proper level;
• When filling the system with coolant, you need to make sure that there is no air in it. After the antifreeze level has been restored, be sure to start the engine and make sure that the pipes and their connections to the radiator are tight.

If you follow all these rules, you will be able to ensure the perfect operation of the heater in your car, as well as minimize the risks of its repeated failure due to clogging of the system.

How much does it cost to replace a radiator at a car service? The price for this service is quite high, since specialists usually remove the control panel, which takes much more time and requires considerable effort. Using the method described above, you can replace the part yourself and save money.

Diagnosis of stove malfunctions

The design of the stove is quite simple. It would seem that there is nothing to break here. The heater cannot break down completely, since its design consists of components independent from each other. However, some elements can fail quite often. These include:

• radiator;
• tap;
• pipes;
• resistor;
• mode switch.

Heater radiator malfunctions

The main reasons for the failure of the stove radiator:

• clogging;
• the appearance of a leak (depressurization).

In the first case, deposits accumulate on the inner walls of the radiator tubes. They can form as a result of:

• long-term operation of the radiator;
• use of low-quality coolant;
• getting dirt, friction products, water, etc. into the cooling system.

As a result, the circulation of antifreeze in the heater radiator is disrupted or completely stopped, and the air entering the cabin does not have time to heat up normally. In winter, it will be cold inside the car, and defrosting the windshield will become a real problem.

A leak in the radiator can appear as a result of corrosion and drying out. Coolant leaking from the heater usually forms a puddle on the floor under the panel on the passenger side. In addition, a characteristic odor will appear in the cabin, and an oily coating will form on the windshield due to evaporation of the coolant, reducing the driver’s visibility. The latter is especially true when driving against the sun or at night, when oncoming traffic is moving with its headlights on.

Stove tap leaking

The stove valve may fail for two reasons:

• souring of the locking mechanism;
• drying out of the device casing.

If the stove has not been used for a long time, the tap may become sour. In this case, when trying to open the tap, you should not use much force, as you can damage the tap itself or break the control cable.

When the housing dries out, the leak may not be immediately noticeable. But after some time, signs similar to those of a radiator leak will appear (a puddle of coolant on the floor, a pungent odor in the cabin, an oily coating on the windshield).

If the heater valve is faulty, coolant begins to leak into the cabin.

Replacing the heater valve VAZ-2114

We drive onto a pit or overpass. We put the car on the handbrake and first gear. Drain the coolant into the prepared container. To do this, first, with the expansion tank cap closed, unscrew the drain plug on the engine cylinder block (if the tank cap is sealed and tightly screwed, then antifreeze will hardly flow). Then, instead of the drain plug, we screw in a hose (from a mixer works well) and open the reservoir cap - the coolant flows neatly into the container with minimal losses and without getting dirty on the engine.

We loosen the clamps of the pipes going to the valve from the engine. From the engine side, use a metal brush to clean the threads of the 2 bolts securing the faucet to the engine compartment bulkhead. Then we conscientiously treat these threads with WD-40 or brake fluid. This is a mandatory condition, failure to comply with which can lead to serious difficulties when unscrewing the nuts. We leave the dirt and rust on the threads to “acidify” and do not tighten the nuts yet.

We remove the pipes. Let's go to the salon. We dismantle the side trim of the torpedo in the middle at the feet on the passenger side. Loosen the clamps of the pipes at the tap. We prepare a rag to collect a small amount of antifreeze that may leak onto the carpet when removing the pipes. Disconnect the pipes. We return under the car. Using a 10mm wrench (socket or socket), unscrew the nuts of the faucet mounting bolts.

HOW TO CHANGE THE STOVE TAP WITH YOUR OWN HANDS?

You will need a pit to work with because the heater valve is located at the bottom of the hood, under the side trim on the passenger side. Replacing the stove valve on a VAZ 2114 is carried out in several stages:

1. On the faucet, you need to brush the fasteners, rinse them with brake fluid, and leave them for a while so that the fluid cleans the threads on the studs and the nuts are easier to unscrew. To wash studs, it is better to use WD-40, if available. This is an important stage in the work, because rusted bolts can grab the nut so much that unscrewing them becomes problematic. Sometimes when unscrewing nuts, the bolts need to be held with an additional wrench or pliers.
2. In the cabin, remove the side trim. Now you can see the pipes leading to the tap. Loosen the hose clamps and remove the hoses one by one. At the same time, keep a container with antifreeze near you, which you immediately place under the emptied pipes so that the remaining antifreeze flows out.
3. If you decide to replace the hoses, they must also be released from the radiator. But if they are in satisfactory condition, then when you start assembling, you will only need sealant.
4. Return to the pit and use a 10mm wrench to unscrew the nuts holding the tap in place.
5. Go back to the body again and try to remove the heater valve of the VAZ 2114 towards the passenger seat. In this position, remove the lock and release the cable that controls the tap.
6. Now you can install the new faucet. First put the cable on it, secure it with a spring clip, and only then can you screw it into place. Install O-rings between the valve and the body. Use sealant to secure the stove pipes in place. Don't forget to pour the antifreeze back into the radiator at the end.

Replacing the stove valve of the VAZ 2115, as well as the VAZ 2113, is carried out in the sequence described above. The design of the heater in these VAZ models is the same as that of the VAZ 2108.

Replacing the VAZ-2114 heater fan

In the cabin under the steering wheel, using a 10mm wrench, unscrew the nut securing the heater to the body and remove the fan motor ground wire terminal (in black insulation) from the stud, and then disconnect the power supply positive wire connector.

Remove the cabin air filter. located under the windshield in the middle. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the 5 screws that fasten the air supply side grilles. We remove the grates. We unscrew the 4 screws securing the protective casing, which we then remove. Unscrew the 2 screws securing the fan to the base of the heater.

We pull the electric motor power wires out of the passenger compartment through the rubber seal. We remove the fan from its housing (air supply box). Remove the seal from the fan casing. We use a flat screwdriver to pry up the latch of the casing, which we separate into 2 parts. Having released the 2 mounting brackets, remove the motor cover and remove the electric motor along with the impeller.

Installation of a new fan is carried out in reverse order.

Replacing the VAZ-2114 heater radiator

We drain the coolant as described in paragraph 2 to replace the valve. We remove the glove compartment, which consists of three parts, and the side panels at the foot of the passenger seat. In this case, it is necessary to unscrew absolutely all the screws that are visible. You should not miss the fastenings to the floor (2 screws on the sides, on the left and right sides of the panel at the bottom near the ECU) and 2 screws at the passenger door pillar. Another one is hidden under a flap in the upper left corner of the panel near the buttons.

We unscrew all the screws securing the cables on the passenger side - on the right and left, closer to the middle of the cabin (here are the most “difficult” ones - 3 pieces). Gently pull the main panel on the passenger side towards you. If it goes with difficulty, then you should check whether all the fasteners are unscrewed. You can additionally remove the plastic tips from the damper and heater adjustments.

When the panel moves away from the body, you need to place an object (for example, a plastic bottle) into the gap that appears. We place some larger dishes under the radiator so as not to flood the floor with antifreeze leaking from the radiator and the system.

Loosen the pipe clamps. We free the radiator from the pipes and wait until the antifreeze stops leaking. Unscrew all the nuts securing the radiator to the body.

It takes two people to remove the radiator - you will need the help of one person. One person lifts the panel as high as possible, and the second one at this time removes the radiator - pulls it down, turns it and pulls it towards himself.

The new radiator is installed in the reverse order. After installing the radiator, do not immediately begin installing the panel and glove compartment.

First you need to check the tightness of all connections - fill the system with coolant and start the engine.

If everything is fine, then we finish replacing the radiator.

In cars of domestic manufacturers, engine cooling occurs using a cooling system; in the VAZ-2114, this task is performed by antifreeze. Only with the right choice of antifreeze can you ensure efficient operation of the cooling system:

1. Factory antifreeze fluid is worse; due to the smaller amount of additives, the thermal protection of the vehicle suffers significantly. Antifreeze was developed specifically to cool vehicle parts and components, so it is exceptionally useful.
2. Factory fluid has one big drawback - it quickly spoils the pipes, which in turn leads to fluid leakage and radiator defects.

Having convinced himself of how important it is to use high-quality antifreeze, the driver of the VAZ-2114 begins to replace the old fluid with a new one. In this case, after a couple of weeks an antifreeze leak is detected, what’s the matter? The owner of the car did not take into account that along with the antifreeze, the pipes through which leaks occur must also be replaced.

Experience shows that old hoses are absolutely unusable; antifreeze corrodes them very quickly. Therefore, it’s time to learn how to replace pipes, and finally close the question of the correct operation of the cooling system. Service station specialists will tell you how to implement your plans.

Purpose, location and design of the VAZ 2113–15 stove

Unlike classic Zhiguli models, the VAZ 2113–15 stove copes with its duties quite well. If it is in good working order, the inside of the car will always be warm. The air flow distribution system is also implemented quite well, so the windshield, even in severe frost, is completely cleared of ice in a few minutes.

Purpose of the heater

The main function of the stove is to heat the interior and windshield. Hot air supplied through the duct system to the windshield prevents it from freezing in winter. In the warm season, the stove is used for forced ventilation of the interior.

Location and design of the stove

The VAZ 2113–15 stove is located in the front part of the cabin under the center console of the dashboard. Only the heater controls and deflectors through which air flows are brought into the cabin.

The interior heater of the VAZ 2113–15 is closed by the center console

The stove consists of the following elements:

• casing;
• radiator;
• tap;
• inlet and outlet pipes;
• electric motor with a cylindrical impeller;
• windshield defroster;
• control valve;
• foot air damper;
• control module (mode switch, resistor, damper control levers).

Operating principle of the stove

The operation of the stove is based on heat exchange between the heated coolant (coolant) and the air entering the cabin. The basis of the design is the radiator. It is a system of tubes within which heated coolant supplied from the power unit circulates. The tubes are equipped with thin lamellas, allowing for more efficient heat transfer to the air.

The radiator is covered by a casing, which is the body of the stove. On one side there is an electric fan that pumps air into the device. By varying the fan rotation speed with a switch that changes the resistance of a special resistor and located on the central panel, you can regulate the intensity of the air flow entering the cabin.

Circulating between the radiator lamellas, the air heats up and enters the passenger compartment through air ducts located in the front part of the heater. The distribution of flows is carried out using three dampers, one of which (control) regulates (opens or closes) the flow of air into the cabin, and the other two (air blowing for the legs and windshield) change its direction.

The basis of the design of the interior heater is the radiator

The stove can be completely disconnected from the engine cooling system using a tap that shuts off the coolant supply to the radiator of the heating system.

How to correctly replace pipes in a VAZ-2114

The first question that experts hear from car enthusiasts is which pipes should be purchased for the VAZ-2114? Products made from silicone are considered the most durable and at the same time ideally compatible with the cooling mechanism of the VAZ-2114. The diagram below shows the location of the pipes we are interested in:

1. The short ones are mounted on the couplings of the thermostat and the pump pumping water.
2. Next comes the conductive hose.
3. The pipe located in the lower part is responsible for removing antifreeze from the radiator unit.

What set of tools will be needed to replace the VAZ-2114 pipes

1. New hoses.
2. Keys of different sizes.
3. Screwdrivers of different formats.
4. Silicone-based lubricant.

Now let’s talk about how the well-known antifreeze differs from antifreeze. The latter is produced by a domestic manufacturer, antifreeze is produced abroad, so the composition may differ.

Therefore, ask the seller about foreign-made coolant.

Tools and materials

To replace the heater radiator in a VAZ-2114 you do not need expensive and complex tools or equipment. It is enough that almost every car enthusiast has a new spare part in his garage. To complete the job you will need:

• new heater radiator - aluminum or copper;
• a set of ring and open-end wrenches, you can use a set of sockets with a ratchet;
• curly screwdriver;
• set of hexagons;
• container for draining antifreeze;
• fresh coolant, no more than 4 liters.

Additionally, it is better to stock up on rags to wipe off antifreeze that has spilled into the cabin; in addition, you will need a stop for the torpedo - a wooden block of 50x50 mm, about 40 cm long, is perfect.

Instructions for replacing the cooling system pipes of the VAZ-2114

Step-by-step replacement of cooling system pipes in a VAZ-2114 car looks like this:

1. Remove the battery cable that comes out of the negative socket.
2. Carefully drain the old coolant, but wait until the engine has cooled completely before doing so. Otherwise, there is a risk of getting burns from the coolant.
3. Remove the following components: set aside the upholstery that provides sound insulation, the fan, the trim going to the windshield frame, the facing material.
4. Now your goal is to get to the air collector; to do this, unscrew the brackets in the form of springs and the screws responsible for fixing them. A screwdriver is ideal for spring clips; for screws, you need a wrench.
5. To loosen the clamps, remove the front housing, and then remove the old hoses from the fittings.
6. All that remains is to install new silicone hoses in a specially designated place; it is preferable that the parts are manufactured abroad - they will last longer.
7. Reinstall the other components by following the reverse order of this step-by-step instruction.

Subtleties of filling new antifreeze

Before you start filling in new coolant, you need to drain the old one, and also thoroughly clean the entire cooling system of contaminants. To do this, it is better to use a special cleaning agent that can be purchased at a car enthusiast store. Make sure that all taps and plugs of the VAZ-2114 are open. You can determine whether the system has been flushed or not based on the color of the antifreeze flowing out.

The plugs and tap are closed only when the product becomes transparent. If the manufacturer describes in the instructions the specifics of using the cleaning mass, follow these rules for effective cleaning. As for the level of antifreeze filling, some drivers prefer to fill to the limit mark, others deliberately do not top up, and later, after a successful test, add more fluid.

After the antifreeze has been replaced, all that remains is to close the expander and start the car engine. The motor should idle until the furnace fan starts running.
