Which is the best pump for a VAZ-2114 8 valves: what to install, survey

The cooling system of the VAZ-2114 car is a complex mechanism of various parts and mechanisms, and the basis for everything is a water pump or simply a pump. This mechanism rarely fails completely, but problems associated with its stable operation occur periodically. Therefore, every VAZ-2114 owner needs to know which pump to pay attention to if the old one has exhausted its service life.

The video below discusses the issue of choosing a pump for the VAZ-2108 (the engine pumps for the VAZ-2114 and 2108 are identical):

Below we will tell you about the main problems that occur when a water pump breaks down and which manufacturer to pay attention to when purchasing.

What can a pump breakdown cause?

As already mentioned, the pump (or pump) circulates all the coolant in the system. If it stops working, the fluid circulation will stop. Such a malfunction can lead to very serious consequences, including:

• boiling of coolant in the system (this can mainly be observed in the expansion tank);
• rapid engine overheating;
• damage or even destruction of the engine and adjacent units (if the engine runs for a long time without cooling).

Overheating of the VAZ 2114 engine As you can see, the breakdown of such a small device as a liquid pump can lead to engine failure, and repairs in this case will cost much more. For this very reason, you should periodically check the performance of the pump and, if a malfunction is detected, replace it immediately.

It is quite rare for a pump to completely fail; much more often you can observe its operation with interruptions caused by wear of internal parts. Such a pump should be replaced immediately, without waiting for it to stop completely, because it no longer creates proper coolant circulation.

You can quickly check whether the pump is working correctly as follows:

1. Start the car and wait until it warms up.
2. Place your palm around the upper hose in the radiator area.
3. Squeeze the hose with enough force to feel whether there is a pulsation of liquid inside it.
4. If pulsation is present, then the liquid is circulating and the pump is working properly, but if there is no pulsation, then most likely the pump is faulty and should be replaced.

Which pump to choose

Before replacing a broken pump with a new one, you should think about which pump is best to install on the VAZ 2114. This is due to the fact that different manufacturers produce pumps of different quality, and not all of them will be able to work properly for a long time.

According to the opinion of the majority of motorists, based on the practical use of pumps from certain manufacturers, it is better to give preference to pumps from the following companies: They have shown themselves to be the best, ensuring uniform circulation of fluid in the system and having the longest service life.

For many owners, the answer to the question of which pump to choose for the VAZ 2114 is Fenox. This Belarusian manufacturer is popular among owners of domestic cars. Its production is focused on Russian modern and classic cars. The products of this brand are famous for their low cost. But their quality is also low. Spare parts are suitable only for careful drivers who do not use the car very actively. Pros:

How to check for a malfunction

Having talked about which pump is better for the VAZ 2114 8 valves (and therefore which one will need to be purchased in the event of a malfunction), let’s also talk about what signs can be used to understand that the liquid pump has failed. The most likely factors indicating a malfunction are:

• rapid drop in fluid levels in the tank. It may indicate the presence of leaks in the system, which can form in a variety of places - joints, pipes and even the radiator itself;
• presence of liquid at the ventilation hole. It indicates that there are leaks in the pump seal area;
• humming sound when the liquid pump is running. Most often it speaks of partial wear or even complete destruction of the bearings;
• destruction of the pump impeller (the most obvious factor, although its presence can only be established after dismantling and disassembling the old pump);
• presence of deposits on the oil seal. Plaque itself does not indicate wear or breakdown, but is one of the indirect factors pointing to it.

Old and new VAZ 2114 pump If you notice that at least one of the above signs has appeared in the car (except for the last one), then you should not wait until the pump completely breaks down - it is better to replace it as soon as possible.

It is worth noting that you can detect a malfunction of the cooling system right on the go - to do this, you need to turn on the heated air blowing into the cabin and wait a little. If the air starts to flow warm, then everything is fine, if it is cold, then there is no fluid circulation in the system.

Replacing the Fluid Pump

After you have purchased a new pump for the VAZ 2114 (which is better - mentioned above), you should install it. For this you will need:

1. Turn off the engine (if the machine is running) and wait until the system cools completely.
2. Disconnect the terminals from the battery and remove the drive belts.
3. Drain the liquid from the system using a plug bolt (before doing this, remove the cap from the expansion tank).
4. Remove the timing belt by first unscrewing the bolts on the protective cover and removing it. (Important! After the belt is removed, it is strictly forbidden to manually turn the crankshaft or camshaft).
5. Remove the old pump (sometimes dismantling it may require some effort, since the original pump is additionally fixed with sealant).
6. Degrease the surface after sealant (for example, acetone).
7. Install the new pump and reassemble in reverse order.

By performing these simple operations, you can quickly install a new pump and return the car's cooling system to normal operation.

Any car parts can deteriorate over time. Despite the fact that the water pump is a durable and reliable device, it can also become unusable. As you know, nothing lasts forever, so over time the pump needs to be changed or repaired. In case of serious damage, it is advisable to replace the pump with a new one, which will serve properly for many years. It is very important to purchase a high-quality and durable part.
