How to remove the steering wheel on a VAZ 2114 with your own hands

How to remove the steering wheel?

Dismantling the steering wheel on VAZ 2114 and 2115 is carried out using the same method. However, remember that according to the Code of Administrative Offenses, replacing a steering wheel with a steering wheel different from the original is considered illegal modification of the steering structure and vehicle control system. Such tuning falls under Part 2 of Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses on driving a vehicle in the presence of malfunctions or conditions under which its operation is prohibited. Recently, traffic police officers have been quite zealous in catching violators of this article, so think carefully before embarking on the replacement process.

The standard VAZ 2114 steering wheel looks unattractive, so someone may want to replace it

Required Tools

To remove and then install a new steering wheel, you will need the following tools:

new steering wheel (make sure the part you choose fits your car);
set of screwdrivers with straight and Phillips slots;
24 mm socket head;
pencil or marker;
hammer (in some cases);
a soft metal drift (included with the hammer);
wire cores (in some cases).

Please note that after completing all the work, you will have to remove traces of a pencil or marker from the steering wheel cover and front panel. To avoid problems with subsequent cleaning, consider the coating material of these interior elements. You should not use permanent, or as they are also called, indelible markers, especially if the parts are covered with high-quality natural leather of a light shade. The easiest way to remove marker is water-based. But it is better to use a regular pencil: it can be erased with a regular eraser.

Steering wheel removal process

There is a signal inside the steering wheel that receives power from the battery, so the first thing you need to do is turn off the power to the car. To do this, you just need to disconnect the negative terminal. After this, you can safely begin the dismantling process.

Remove the ignition key from the lock.
Turn the steering wheel so that the system locking the steering shaft is activated. Your steering wheel is now locked in a straight position.
In order to subsequently correctly install the new part while maintaining control accuracy, apply a mark to the steering wheel with a pencil. Place a similar mark on the dashboard right next to it.
Using a straight screwdriver, pry the cover with the Lada inscription on the steering wheel and remove it. This element is attached using ordinary plastic clips, so removing it is not difficult. However, due to the thin plastic, the part breaks easily. If you plan to continue using your old steering wheel, be careful.
Under the trim you will see two screws. They hold the steering wheel cover. Unscrew them using a Phillips screwdriver and then remove the cover.
In the central part of the structure you will see a large nut. It should be unscrewed using a 24 mm socket.
The steering wheel no longer holds anything. To remove it, grab the steering wheel with both hands and pull each side in turn. There's no point in trying. If the part has not been dismantled before, it will be quite difficult to move. Do not try to remove the part with one jerk: you may accidentally injure yourself.
If attempts to remove the steering wheel using the method described in point 7 are unsuccessful, use a small hammer and drift. In addition to additional tools, you will need an assistant. One person from the pair should pull the steering wheel, and the second should hit the drift attached to the end of the steering shaft with a hammer.

Removing the steering wheel for VAZ 2114 and VAZ 2115

First of all, you need to remove the trim; if you cannot remove the steering wheel by hand, use a hammer

the screws under the trim should be unscrewed.
Experts recommend not completely unscrewing the central nut, as it can protect you from serious injury in the event of a sudden break of the steering wheel. Make several turns while performing step 6, and when the part comes off the steering shaft, unscrew it completely by hand.

In this simple way you can dismantle the steering wheel on a VAZ 2114 and VAZ 2115.

Reasons for part failure

The muffler is affected by several different factors that can lead to failure, these are:

Atmospheric precipitation, dirt. Precipitation means the occurrence of rain and snow. A mass that periodically falls on a hot pipe causes temperature changes, destroying the strength of the metal. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to protect the muffler in any way; moisture will in any case affect the metal. A smart solution would be to avoid driving through deep puddles and drive slowly on contaminated sections of the road. If the muffler and pipe are dirty, it is necessary to clean it with water (you can use a pressure jet from a hose). After cleaning, it is recommended to start the engine so that any water that has entered the muffler evaporates.
Condensate. When the unit is idle for a long time, condensation forms in the muffler, causing a corrosive process. This leads to inevitable destruction of the internal parts of the muffler. This happens extremely rarely, but before the trip it is recommended to increase the operating speed by pressing the accelerator several times. The flow of exhaust gases removes moisture from the silencer.
Chemical influence. As a result of the release of exhaust gas, a lot of toxic chemical particles settle on the walls of the muffler, destroying the metal, and allowing road reagents to get into the muffler.
Physical influence. Hitting stones and blows from the muffler when driving on roads also lead to a lot of damage.

The chemical and physical effect on the muffler metal is a natural process

It will not be possible to disassemble and clean the muffler, since the container cannot be opened, and only the attention and professionalism of the driver on the road will help protect it from impacts and stones. Diagnosing and eliminating minor damage at the initial stage will help to avoid serious problems in the future.

The influence of various negative factors can lead to damage to the corrugation or other parts of the muffler

Extraneous sounds in the jammer

The causes of various noises and knocks in the muffler can be:

Fastening the muffler to wire or ties. You should not wrap the muffler on a wire, otherwise rattling and knocking will occur. Use only rubber cushions.
Foreign objects entering through the exhaust pipe. When driving over rough terrain, deep puddles, or driving in reverse, you should not forget that the exhaust pipe is literally 20 cm from the road surface, which means that various masses and stones can be thrown into the muffler. They often knock and rattle.
Peeling of burnt metal inside the muffler. As a result of chemical exposure, a layer of soot forms on the walls of the silencer. For this reason, over the years, rattling noises can be heard inside the muffler due to peeling metal.
Condensation also affects the exhaust sound. Condensation forms as a result of prolonged idling while the engine warms up. Ringing and gurgling are signs of accumulated moisture in the muffler. By increasing the speed several times, the condensate comes out and the signs of the malfunction disappear.

These points are possible factors influencing the exhaust sound of a muffler and are considered the most common.

Repairing and replacing the muffler on a VAZ 2114/2115 is available to every car enthusiast; the only question is confidence and time. It is easy to replace an old part with a new one if you have the tools at hand, but it is recommended to entrust the troubleshooting of the muffler to professionals. Any auto repair shop does this type of work. For little money and a short period of time, your muffler will be repaired. Remember, prevention is a reliable method of treatment!

What kind of steering wheel can I install?

If you decide to replace your old steering wheel, it means that its appearance did not suit you in some way. Of course, the issue may be a breakdown or external damage, however, even in this case, you should consider installing third-party models. What if you like one of them much more than the previous steering wheel?

Sports models

When tuning their iron horses, car enthusiasts often look at sports steering wheels. Their appearance helps create the image of a fashionable racing car. The sports steering wheel has a smaller diameter than a regular steering wheel, which significantly improves maneuverability. In addition, it saves space inside the car. And various design options give room for creativity when styling the rest of the interior.

The design of a sports steering wheel can refresh the interior of the car

Unfortunately, sports steering wheel models have as many disadvantages as advantages. It is not as safe in a collision as the stock steering wheel. Its construction uses metal, so upon impact, the risk of serious injury increases. In addition, sports steering wheels are not equipped with airbags.

To install such a steering wheel you will need special adapters. They can be divided into two categories:

cast;
corrugated.

Moreover, the latter are much safer, since in the event of an accident they can fold up and absorb part of the energy.

The corrugated adapter for the sports steering wheel can fold upon impact, therefore it is considered injury-proof

Buy a sports steering wheel from trusted stores and from well-known manufacturers. Make sure you have the appropriate certificate. A poor-quality steering wheel, even with a corrugated adapter, can play a cruel joke on you if you get into an accident.

Steering wheels from other VAZ car models

Steering wheels from more modern models of VAZ cars, such as Lada Priora, Kalina or Granta, look prettier and are much more comfortable in the hands. Installing them will not be difficult, provided that you replace not only the steering wheel itself, but also the steering column column. Otherwise, the hub size will not match.

The Lada Kalina steering wheel looks more stylish and presentable than the standard part from a VAZ 2114 or 2115

Read on to learn how to choose the right steering wheel for the VAZ 2114 and VAZ 2115.

What you need to know when installing

Please note that not every steering wheel is suitable for installation on VAZ 2114 and VAZ 2115 cars. You need to choose a steering wheel with the same contact group as the original part.

choose a steering wheel with the same contact group as that of the VAZ 2114 and 2115

This is quite easy to do if you plan to install a steering wheel from other VAZ models. For example, a steering wheel with a Europanel from a VAZ 2110 is ideal for these purposes.

If you have chosen a Lada Kalina car, then its steering wheel should be marked 1118–3402010. With it you will also have to install the upper casing marked 2110–3403070–30, as well as the lower casing 2110–3403072–30.

To install a non-standard steering wheel on a VAZ 2114, use the steering shaft housing 2110–12

If you like sports models, then you will have to purchase a special adapter designed for VAZ 2113–2115 cars. This adapter is installed on the steering shaft, and the steering wheel is mounted on top. An adapter model suitable for this purpose is PROSPORT RS-04282.

for installing a sports steering wheel on VAZ 2114 and 2115 cars, the adapter PROSPORT RS-04282 is suitable

What kind of charging should go to the battery from the generator?

It is traditionally believed that 13.5-14.5V should be supplied by the generator to the battery and this is absolutely enough to replenish the battery costs.

It is worth considering that using a battery with a higher power in a car than the manufacturer recommends also requires the installation of a more productive generating device.

It is necessary to take into account the load that the generator must withstand - it is calculated based on the maximum indicators of all electrical appliances and car systems.

Do not forget that the charging current from the energy-generating device will allow you to start the car in the cold season. In order to avoid problems with starting the car, we recommend purchasing generating equipment, the charge current of which will be approximately 10% of the capacity of the power source. That is, for a 100 A/h battery you need a generator that can produce 10 A

Please note that for many cars, 100 amp equipment will operate at its maximum capacity, because the power consumption of the automotive system is in the region of 80 amps. Therefore, the choice of a source generating energy must take into account both the battery capacity and network consumption

Installation Rules

Installing the steering wheel is a dismantling process in reverse order. If you can handle the removal, then you will be able to install it.

Installation begins by transferring the mark from the old steering wheel to the new one. Be extremely precise: the correctness of further control of the machine depends on this. The mark on the new part should be exactly in the same place as on the previous one.
Put the steering wheel back in place. Make sure that the mark on it and on the front panel match the same as in the case of the old part.
Replace the central nut and tighten it. If it does not fit tightly in the socket head, insert the wire strands between them. When the nut is in place, remove the wires and secure the nut tightly.
Replace the steering wheel cover and tighten all screws.
Make sure the steering wheel is straight. If even a slight displacement is observed, the part will have to be reinstalled.
Replace the battery terminals and test your new steering wheel by driving it away from major roads. At first, its diameter may be unusual, but the ease of driving should remain the same.

if the nut falls out of the socket, use the wire strands

The most difficult thing in the process of replacing the steering wheel on a VAZ 2114 and 2115 is choosing the right parts. Pay attention to the markings on the steering wheel, covers and, if necessary, adapters. In some cases, it may be necessary to replace the steering column switches. But dismantling and installing a new steering wheel itself will not cause you any particular difficulties if you strictly follow all the instructions.

Preparatory work

Park the car on a level surface.
Place wheel chocks under the rear wheels.
Loosen the front wheel bolts.
Raise the side to be repaired on a jack and place a reliable support under it.
Remove the wheel completely.

Note. There is no need to disassemble the suspension before removing the steering end on the VAZ 2114. But be sure to install the car on reliable supports, otherwise it will fall. You need to place the removed wheel under the engine.

Replacing the steering wheel on a VAZ 2114

I started by rinsing/dousing Anyutka with Karcher =)

because in two days of the thaw it was dirty as a pig =) Well, then I started removing the steering wheel, then I’ll explain everything step by step, you never know who has never done this =)

1. you need to remove the “LADA” trim, which is simply inserted into the signal button...

2...in three places, left, right and middle...

3...then unscrew the two screws...

4...and remove the signal button...

5...then holding the steering wheel, we tear off the 24 nut inside the steering wheel...

6...and take out the steering wheel...

7...then I removed the casing, it was glued to the steering wheel on the back side, and glued it with sealant (I couldn’t find anything else in the service =)) to the new steering wheel...

8...then I put the new steering wheel in place and tightened the nut. I checked that the signal was working and turned it on just in case.

The photo is of course not very good, since the lighting is rather poor and there is no camera.

in general, the dimensions suit me, but it’s a little thicker than the factory one, it takes some getting used to, it looks quite organic =)

What do you need to remember?

Before starting repairs, be sure to treat all threaded connections with penetrating lubricant such as WD-40. If there is none, you can generously lubricate it with brake fluid in advance. Since there is a conical hole on the steering knuckle, it is necessary to use only a puller during disassembly. The nuts used to adjust the length of the rod must also be treated with lubricant.

If you do not do this, unscrewing the nuts will be problematic. As an option, completely dismantle the draft and heat it with a gas burner. Be sure to measure the distance from the center of the hinge to the edge of the adjusting nut on each side. You also need to measure the distance from the edge of the rod to this nut in order to place the new tip as accurately as possible. In the future, this will allow you to achieve the most accurate wheel alignment. But this does not mean at all that adjustments are not necessary - camber and toe will definitely have to be done.

How to remove the steering wheel on a VAZ 2114 with your own hands

Steering wheels in the Samara family were updated with each new model, unlike gearboxes, transmissions and other hardware. The owner of the highest quality and most comfortable steering wheel was the VAZ 2115. Many owners of previous generations decided to install a new steering wheel from the latest model. This material describes in detail how to remove the steering wheel in a VAZ 2114 car. It is worth saying that these instructions are also suitable for other Samara models.

Replacing the steering wheel is making changes to the design of the car. Due to such modernization, the owner of a VAZ 2114 may have problems during technical inspection. If the driver chose an option from a handicraft workshop, then such a product may negatively affect safety. The best solution would be to choose a steering wheel from model 2115, since it is unlikely to be appreciated as a non-standard part.

Symptoms of a problem

The first enemy of VAZ 2114 tips is dirt. They are a hinged element, so breaking the integrity of the boot causes solid particles to enter the mechanism. Due to friction, increased wear of the part and destruction of moving elements occurs.

The second “killer” is bad roads. Constant impacts from driving over bumps have an extremely bad effect on the condition of the part: the hinge wears out and vertical play occurs.

Defective parts must be replaced immediately.

People often ask what signs indicate that a tip needs to be changed. It is easy to check their condition. Turn the wheel all the way in one direction and carefully remove dirt from the boot. If breaks are visible or the rubber is cracked over time, the part needs to be replaced. Repeat the operation for the second wheel.

Even if there are no visible integrity problems, insert a pry bar between the rod and the steering knuckle and try to move them relative to each other. There should be no vertical play. If it is present, the part needs to be replaced.

Required Tools

The steering wheel is usually removed in two cases: it needs to be repaired or completely replaced. It is not recommended to choose sports models, as they will not allow you to pass a technical inspection of the car. If the choice was made towards a third-party manufacturer, then you need to buy the steering wheel in a car store - the product must have a warranty.

To work you will need:

Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, as well as an extension for them.
Set of keys and sockets.
Rubber hammer.

Important ! Before removing the steering wheel, you need to make sure that the wheels of the VAZ 2114 are level and, most importantly, straight. If the front wheel set is turned to the left or right, the steering wheel parts may be damaged during removal.

Manufacturers and prices

There are several manufacturers on the automotive parts market that have proven themselves well. This:

AvtoVAZ is the official supplier for conveyors, the cost of the set is 650-700 rubles.
"Track" has about the same cost.
FINWHALE - cost - 850-950 rubles.
LEMFORDER – price – no more than 900 rubles per pair.
“VIS” – 700-750 rubles per set.

These are the steering tips you can find on the VAZ-2114. The price depends on the manufacturer, the quality is almost the same for all. If you operate the car correctly and carefully, then they will serve faithfully for a guaranteed period.

Dismantling process

There is electronics inside the steering wheel - the signal of a VAZ 2114 car, so first of all you need to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. By turning the front wheelset to the “straight” position, you can begin dismantling:

The first step is to unscrew the seven screws on the covers located under the steering wheel. Once the fasteners are removed, the lower casing can be detached. The top section should only be removed when the steering column is pointing down;
After this, you need to remove the decorative trim. It has no fastenings, so it can be removed with a flat-head screwdriver. This must be done carefully, as the plastic here is fragile. Under the cover there will be two screws that hold the signal button - this also needs to be removed;
Next, you should unscrew the steering wheel fastening nut so that it stays on the shaft, that is, you do not need to completely remove it;
When the last fastening is removed, the steering wheel can be knocked down with a sharp blow and removed. In this case, a rubber hammer will help, as it will not damage the surface of the steering wheel.

Important ! The steering wheel in the VAZ 2114 sits tightly on the spokes, so with a sharp jerk the parts may be damaged. When the hub is removed from the spokes, you can finish the fastening nut.

Installing the steering wheel is done in the reverse order. An important point is the pointer switch ring. When installing, it must be rotated so that the pin can fit into the groove of the ring. If a non-standard product was purchased as a replacement, then the process is the same; the only differences can be in fastening and fixing.

Lighting in the trunk using the example of Lada Samara

DIY lighting in the trunk using the example of Lada Samara.

Making LED lighting in the trunk using the example of Lada Samara. (Vaz 2114).

The issue of lighting the trunk of a VAZ 2114 car has been very poorly resolved; according to the operating manual, when the side lights are on and the tailgate is open, the trunk is illuminated by license plate lamps. However, the direction of the light does not cover the luggage compartment in the desired manner. So I decided to make forced lighting from a button.

This required:

button with indication – 1 pc.;
waterproof LED strip 120 light d/m – 1m;
wire sections;
heat-shrink tubing;
a piece of corrugated tube;
fuse 5A.

What kind of steering wheel can I install?

There are many options for steering wheels that can be installed on the VAZ-2113, 2114, 2115. The main thing is to choose the right mount for the central shaft.

When choosing a steering wheel, you should pay attention to:

dimension, shape;
type of fastening, product material;
additional features that can be connected.

Sports models

Tuning enthusiasts want to make their car as individual as possible, and therefore they rush to install decorative trims on it, change body kits and bumpers, and attach steering wheels from famous brands of racing cars. The result is a fashionable car that attracts the attention of passers-by. By reducing the diameter of the steering wheel, the maneuverability of the car increases, there is enough space inside the car for a comfortable fit.

Example of a sports steering wheel model

However, installing a sports steering wheel has its disadvantages:

the design does not include an airbag;
For fastening, special clamps or adapters are required.

Adapter for mounting a sports steering wheel

Important! If you want to install a sports steering wheel, you can contact the sales points of such parts. Experts will tell you which product should be installed on a specific car.

Steering wheels from other VAZ car models

For models 2113, 2114, 2115, copies from more modern representatives of the domestic ones, Kalina, Grant, are suitable. They are more convenient and have an aesthetically attractive appearance. Installation of such products requires replacing the steering column column. The “steering wheel” from model 2110 fits perfectly.

What you should know when choosing a steering wheel

When changing the steering wheel on VAZ-2114 and 2115 cars, you need to select a similar product with an identical contact group. The diameter of the control element affects the quality of vehicle control. The smaller the size, the more effort required when driving.

Choosing the right steering wheel is not an easy task. In cases with non-original products, the installation process may take some time, taking into account the selection of appropriate components. It all depends on the desires and capabilities of the car owner himself.

Possible problems

When installing music devices, vehicle owners face various problems. Because of them, the radio for the VAZ-2114 does not turn on or any of the functions do not work.

Most common problems:

Burnt fuse. This situation occurs due to connecting additional amplifiers or any other equipment to the radio, as well as listening to music at high volume.
Network short circuit. It appears due to errors made during wiring.
Oxidized contacts. During operation of the device, moisture may enter its housing. It will damage the contacts and prevent you from using the radio.

A radio is a useful device that should be in every car. Even a novice car owner can connect it on his own. To do this, he will need patience, the correct implementation of all the provided actions and several hours of free time.

Replacing the steering wheel of VAZ 2113, VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115

Welcome! Steering wheel - many people change it to replace it with a new one, more beautiful or more convenient, but sometimes there are also people who change the standard steering wheel to a sports version, it’s up to you to decide whether to do this or not, but in a good frontal collision there will be a greater chance of squeezing in a car that has a factory injury-safe steering wheel, not a sports jelly, in addition, the size of the steering wheel also plays a very important role, so when buying a new steering wheel at a car store, pay attention to the size (the larger it is, the easier it will be for you to turn the steering wheel but if it’s too big, it won’t be comfortable for you), and also look at its thickness (with a steering wheel that’s too thin, your hands can slip off during a sharp turn, and turning such a steering wheel will be less convenient).

Note! In order to change the steering wheel, you will need to stock up on: Screwdrivers, as well as an extension or a wrench, you will need to put on a socket head of size “24”, thanks to this head you will be able to unscrew the central nut securing the steering wheel to which without an extension and You can’t really get to the collar, so you obviously can’t do without them; in addition, take a hammer and a special drift made of soft metal for the same central steering wheel mounting nut!

When should you change your steering wheel? At your discretion, but we will give you a couple of tips, if you decide to change the standard steering wheel to a sports one, we do not recommend that you do this, firstly, as was said earlier, sports steering wheels are stiffer compared to standard factory ones, and even technical inspection You may not even be able to get through with such a steering wheel, so think for yourself whether you need it or not, in fact, it is best to install a standard one, which was originally installed from the factory, but the latest cars of the Samara 2 family were equipped with injury-safe steering wheels from the VAZ 2110, think about installing them or change it to the native one from Samara 2.

Note! The steering wheel has a metal part of which it is attached to the shaft with a nut, this metal part can be deformed if you pull the steering wheel hard and try to somehow break it (Don’t think that it is impossible to break it on a car), then most likely this part will be deformed and after this it will become much more difficult and inconvenient for you to turn the steering wheel, in general, when you encounter this, you will immediately understand that in the video at the very end of the article, by the way, the metal part at the steering wheel is also broken!

Other causes of low voltage

A small potential difference in the system is not always associated with a breakdown of the generator or a bad battery

If the diagnosis of these elements does not reveal any problems, then you should pay attention to the following:

condition of the battery terminals - connection density and oxidation;
electrical wiring problems - oxidation, violation of its integrity;
output contacts to electrical appliances;
correctly selected energy consumers.

Each contact must be tightly adjacent and intact, that is, there must be no formations (for example, sulfation) that will disrupt the flow of current. Incorrect connection of contacts leads to accelerated battery discharge even when the car is not running.

To improve the connection of the elements of the car's electrical system, it is necessary to clean all contacts and restore the integrity of the wires by replacing them or connecting them and wrapping them with insulating tape.

In conclusion, I would like to repeat that stable operation of the car requires constant monitoring of all elements, and the generator should attract special attention. The battery is charged from it and provides electricity to the entire car system

Pay attention to all elements: generator brushes, slip rings, voltage regulator, equipment winding.

The most correct measurements should be carried out when the battery is fully charged and in various modes. Remember that the manufacturer links the characteristics of the generator to the number of engine revolutions - they help produce a certain current.

How to replace the steering wheel on a VAZ 2113-VAZ 2115?

Note! Do not forget that the signal of the car is an electrical part, so if you do not remove the negative terminal from the battery, then when you unscrew the central nut of the steering wheel using a metal head, the car will beep and to prevent this from happening, remove the terminal at the beginning, on how to do this, read the article: “Replacing the battery on a car” read point 1, in addition, remove the key from the ignition and turn the steering wheel all the way until it locks! (Also use a marker to place a mark on the steering wheel itself when it is in the locked position, and also install one on the instrument panel so that the marks are opposite each other)

Removal: 1) At the very beginning of the operation, use a screwdriver to pry up the trim that runs along the entire long steering wheel cover and then disconnect it, this trim, as you can see in the photo below, is attached to plastic holders, so it will not be difficult for you to disconnect it, but just be careful not break it, otherwise you will have to buy a new one, although you will most likely have it on the new steering wheel.

2) Now, using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two central screws that secure the steering wheel cover, and when these screws are unscrewed, remove the cover.

3) Then, using an extension or a wrench with a cap on it, unscrew the same central nut (Indicated by the red arrow) that secures the steering wheel to the shaft, but you don’t need to unscrew this nut all the way, otherwise when you pull the steering wheel off the shaft, this nut will inertia will fly towards you and injure you in the end, so unscrew it only a few turns and then grab the steering wheel with your hands and rocking it, remove it from the shaft on which it sits, and then unscrew the nut all the way and calmly remove it without any effort steering wheel from a car.

Note! In the event that it sits dead, then take a hammer and a drift made of soft metal, in addition, stock up on an assistant (It will just be difficult without him), your actions: Hit the hammer made of soft metal with a hammer, this drift should be directed towards you and is pressed against the end of the steering shaft along it, then you will need to carry out the beating using a drift, and at this time let the assistant pull the steering wheel towards himself trying to pull it off the steering shaft!

Installation: If your new steering wheel is exactly the same as the previous one, you need to install it as follows: first, transfer the mark from the old steering wheel to the new one, then install the new steering wheel in its place so that the mark on the steering wheel and on the instrument panel match , in addition, screw the central nut of the steering wheel fastening by hand, or push it into the head, but so that it does not fall out of the head, insert something between the head and the nut, for example, as shown in the photo below, the strands from the wire can be inserted.

Note! If you choose the option with inserting wire strands, then in this case, too, you will only need to screw the nut, when it is pressed slightly onto the steering shaft, remove the wire strands from the coupling head and then completely tighten the steering wheel fastening nut, if after all done operations, the steering wheel is crooked, then perform all the operations again!

Something else we didn’t tell you is that if you need to change the contact ring of the horn (Usually, when it fails, the car’s signal stops working), then it is attached to only three screws by unscrewing which you can easily remove it, but when you be careful when pulling on it, there’s just a wire terminal connected to it from the bottom, you’ll see it right away, you’ll also need to disconnect it from the slip ring!

Electronic control unit

The wiring diagram of the VAZ-2114 ECU turns out to be very complex, since a large number of sensors are connected to it and

Housing made of plastic and metal.
At the heart of the circuit is a microcontroller.
Sensors are connected to the microcontroller inputs via
Signal amplifiers, electronic keys and relays are connected to the controller outputs.

The microcontroller allows you to send signals to the actuators, depending on how the engine is operating. The ECU memory contains the algorithm for the operation of all systems. Moreover, the wiring diagram of the VAZ-2114 (injector) 8 valves differs from the V16, since a little more parameters are needed to control the engine.
