Do-it-yourself repair of the outer door handle of a VAZ 2115

March 03, 2015 Lada.Online 95 767 3

Some owners, after purchasing a LADA car, notice malfunctions in the operation of the doors. For example, the back door doesn't open well. You can cope with the problem yourself by adjusting the locks and door geometry. The defect can also be corrected under warranty from an authorized dealer.

Malfunctions that owners of LADA cars (and other car brands) encounter when the door locks are not adjusted:

• the door does not open or close;
• the door closes/opens poorly (tight);
• large gaps between the door and the body (water gets into the cabin, rattling and whistling appear at speed).

Door adjustment on all LADA cars (XRAY, Vesta, Largus, Granta, Priora, Kalina Niva 4x4) is performed in the same way. There are no fundamental differences.

Step-by-step instructions for replacing the outer and inner door handles on a VAZ 2115

The elements that open and close the door structures on your car wear out over time. Replacing the VAZ 2115 door handle from the inside or outside may be required due to abrasions, scratches, and deformation. The procedure for removing and installing a new part is different for the rear and front doors, so separate instructions are provided for each situation.

Causes of lock failures on VAZ 2109

1. There may be several such reasons. Here is a “rating” of the most common reasons for replacing a lock.
2. “Downfall” of the latch connecting the door lock to the rod that connects it to the central lock.
3. Lost key.
4. Damage to the locking mechanism itself - the cylinder in the car. On the VAZ 21093, the front door lock is designed in such a way that it is almost impossible to repair them. That is, if a lock cylinder breaks, it is better to immediately replace it with a new one. Thus, you will save time and your nerves. Moreover, its price is quite reasonable.
5. Wire refraction.

Causes of malfunction

Before replacing a part, you should find out the cause of the failure. The main ones:

• damage after an accident;
• mechanical damage to internal elements;
• Hacking attempt;
• failure of the external door opening manipulator;
• pressing hard on the handle.

Most often, the plastic part breaks or breaks as a result of constant opening.

Main types of breakdowns

The first warning for the driver is an extraneous sound when turning the key. Jamming, difficult movement or blocking of the key inside the cylinder will indicate that something is wrong with the device. Variations of breakdowns:

• the pin broke;
• the groove or internal parts are rusty;
• mechanical damage to the door;
• water appeared and froze inside the castle;
• the retaining ring has failed;
• the latch broke;
• the thrust cap collapsed;
• the opening element broke, leaving part of the key inside the device;
• temporary wear of parts.

Replacing the inner handle

If the internal door handle of a VAZ 2115 is broken, then cosmetic repairs are impossible. To repair, you will need a standard set of tools: several types of screwdrivers, a sharp knife and a 8mm wrench. It is better to change the part while in the salon. Algorithm for replacing a part:

1. The lining is removed. It is pryed off with the thin end of a screwdriver. It is important to remove all fragments of decor.
2. The door card is being dismantled.
3. The rod is disconnected.
4. To remove the remains of the broken opening device, the fasteners are unscrewed.
5. A new element is installed. It should be attached to the rod, and then the facing elements should be reassembled.

The trim on the VAZ is fixed with special clips. To remove them, you can pry up the edge with a screwdriver. Proceed with caution as they are plastic and may break. This is affected by rough handling, material wear or cold.

Door lock adjustment

Another reason for poor door opening is unadjusted locks.

Required

: Phillips screwdriver (if the screws do not come off, you will need an impact screwdriver) or Torx T40 wrench

Procedure

:

1. Mark the position of the lock shackle for possible return to its original state.
2. Loosen the two/three bolts securing the lock bracket.
3. We move the bracket (forward/backward, up/down), achieving easy and tight closure of the door.
4. Upon completion of the adjustment, tighten the screws securing the lock retainer with a torque of 22 Nm.

Everything said in the article is shown in the video:

Have you ever had to adjust the door locks yourself? Let us remind you that in order to extend the life of locks and seals, they should be lubricated regularly. Do you want to improve the design? Install additional door seals (instructions for XRAY, Vesta, Granta/Kalina/Priora, Largus and Lada 4x4).

Replacing the outside door handle

Replacing the inner door handle of a VAZ 2115 is not as difficult as dismantling the outer element. First you need to determine the fastening method, which is specified in the technical document for the car. It will not be possible to get to the fasteners without removing the casing. Armed with screwdrivers and a 8mm wrench, it is important to follow the step-by-step instructions:

1. Remove trim.
2. Remove the thrust rods from the closing mechanism.
3. Unscrew the external fastening screw.
4. Remove the rubber seals and remove the handle.
5. Inspect and clean the installation site of the new structure.

Assembly is carried out in reverse order.

The design and principle of operation of the VAZ 2107 clutch

The VAZ 2107 is equipped with a single-plate dry clutch with a hydraulic drive. The drive design includes:

• tank with a stopper and built-in liquid stabilizer;
• suspended pedal with pusher;
• master and slave cylinders;
• metal pipeline;
• hose connecting the pipeline and the working cylinder.

When the pedal is pressed, the force is transmitted through the pusher to the piston of the clutch master cylinder (MCC). The main fluid circulation pump is filled with brake fluid coming from the hydraulic drive reservoir. The piston pushes out the working fluid, and it flows under pressure through a pipeline and a rubber hose into the clutch slave cylinder (CSC). In the RCS, the pressure increases and the fluid pushes the rod out of the device, which, in turn, actuates the clutch fork. The fork, in turn, moves the release bearing, disengaging the pressure and driven discs.

Handle selection

Repair will require a new part. The mechanism is sold for the driver's or passenger's door. When purchasing, you should pay attention to:

1. Appearance of the product. Experts recommend taking a closer look at Euro pens.
2. Manufacturer.
3. Material of manufacture. The standard version is made of plastic, but there may be products with additional elements. Some manufacturers add chrome strips.

It is better to purchase AvtoVAZ products. Factory articles: 2109-6105180 – for internal, 2108-6105177 – for external product.
