The Lada Vesta door handle is broken

On a Lada Vesta car, the door handle is considered a consumable item. This also applies to other VAZ cars where Euro handles are installed. The door handle of Lada Vesta cars is a weak element; they often break and peel off. The outer part of the front door is especially susceptible to this - due to frequent opening by the driver, it suffers more than others. He pulled sharply in the cold, not careful handling - the door handle does not forgive this. Sometimes it does not return to its original position and jams. If suddenly your outer or inner handle breaks, you can deal with the problem by contacting the warranty service of a Vesta dealer yourself. Repairing and replacing consumables is not a tricky matter; to do this, it is enough to know the structure of the door handle on Vesta. Read the article and we will answer your questions in detail: remove, replace, buy the original according to the article number!

Handle price and article number

Vesta comes equipped with European-style handles as standard. If replacement is necessary, you can order the same kit in the store or from any official dealer. The price of a set of 4 painted external parts will range from 750 to 2200 rubles. To order, use article number 8450007739.

Salon handles can be sold as a set, but in two pieces, or individually. The average price of 1 part is 400-600 rubles. The article numbers of the interior unlocking elements differ according to the side on which they are installed. To purchase right handles you need to use the number 8450007743, and to buy left handles - 8450007744.

When ordering a set, pay attention to the color of the purchased parts. If interior elements are sold in silver, then the exterior ones can be matched to the color of the car, avoiding additional repainting.

Problems arising with Lada Vesta handles

There are many options for problems that may require replacing door elements on Vesta. The following door faults are recognized by car enthusiasts as the most common:

The outside door handle does not return to its original position. Many Vesta owners encounter this, and immediately after purchase. The company's management even issued an order obliging dealers to check the mechanism and replace it in case of malfunction before sale. Therefore, if you find this problem, please contact us for warranty service. The driver's euro handle is loose. This is also a common malfunction and often appears simultaneously with the first one. Euro door handles creaking. The problem is eliminated by installing a madeline on the top edge of the disassembled part. The likelihood of the above breakdowns increases if you pull the door sharply when opening it towards you. This part of the Lada Vesta car requires careful handling. If a problem occurs during the warranty period, you must contact an authorized service center. This applies to both situations when a part breaks and situations when it does not work well enough.

Installation of a new larva

To replace the lock core due to mechanical failure, remove it from the vehicle as described above. Then follow this algorithm:

Insert the key into the slot and use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the 3 screws holding the 2 halves of the lock body together.
Separate the housing while holding it with the key facing up. If you hold the lock in a different position during disassembly and do not insert the key, the insides will spill out and you will not understand how to put them back together. In this case, the ball with springs may get lost.
Remove the locking mechanism, which consists of two spring-loaded parts, and pull out the spring itself.
After removing the key, carefully remove the core so that the ball with the spring (located on the side of the cylinder) is not lost.

Before replacing, it is necessary to remove the return spring from the old cylinder, since it is not sold complete with a new core. The spring is inside the part on the back side in a cocked state; it must be installed in the same form on the new cylinder. Also, do not forget to remove the thin spring from the hole where the ball is inserted.

Important point. Remember that if you replace the core because it is broken, the new key will no longer fit the door lock. There are 2 options: use two separate keys or simultaneously change the cylinder in the door. The last method becomes the only applicable one when all the keys are lost.

When installing the core, you need to move the spring for the ball into the hole and insert the part into the body. Then push the larva all the way, while simultaneously inserting the ball into the socket. After that, all that remains is to assemble the locking mechanism and tighten the housing with screws. When finished, check the operation of the ignition switch by turning the key to different positions.

What to do if the handle does not open - reasons

Sometimes problems with the external elements of Vesta lead to the fact that the door completely stops opening from the outside. The reason may be one of the malfunctions that we mentioned above. In this case, you will have to change the part under warranty or yourself.

The second reason why a car door does not open or close is a malfunction of the lock itself. Even with the rod working normally, it cannot be lowered and raised smoothly, since the lock mechanism is jammed. To solve the problem, it is often enough to lubricate the rod a little and design the part properly so that the lubricant reaches its destination.

Replacing the contact group

In the event that, as a result of diagnostics, a malfunction of the contact group is detected, you will still have to remove the ignition switch, since it will not be possible to get to it in any other way. After removing the element, disassemble it using the following algorithm:

Disconnect the connectors with the backlight power wires.
Remove the decorative plastic cover by releasing the 4 latches. Work carefully because these clips are easy to break off, and buying a cover separately is quite a task. It is not advisable to change the entire lock because of it.
By bending the 2 clamps holding the contact group, remove it from the ignition switch.

Note. You will additionally need a small flat-head screwdriver as a tool to bend the latches.

First of all, examine the status of the contacts. If they have darkened (oxidized), then clean the current-carrying surfaces with fine sandpaper P1000. Then put the group in place and, without installing the lock, connect it to the vehicle's on-board electrical system to check its functionality. If unsuccessful, the part must be replaced. The same will have to be done if the contacts are burnt or the group does not work without any external signs of malfunction.

Checklist: How to disassemble the Lada Vesta handle and install a new one

You can repair the Lada Vesta door handle yourself. The process will take a few minutes. First you have to remove the part and then replace it with a new one - it's simple. The work is a little different. It all depends on the side on which the part is installed.

External handles

Typically, the outer front European door handle on the driver's side needs to be replaced. It is the one that is used more often, so its opening mechanism wears out quickly.

To replace an element you need to perform a series of sequential actions:

The inner door trim is completely removable;
The lock drive rod is carefully disconnected from the cylinder;
Using a screwdriver, remove the lock cylinder cover from the outside of the door;
The plug at the end of the door is removed;
Using a Torx screwdriver, the screw securing the lock cylinder is turned out;
After this, all that remains is to remove the lock cylinder;
The Euro handle is moved back and carefully removed from the door, first the back part, and then the front;
The gasket of the outer euro handle is removed, and a rivet is drilled under it. This allows you to remove the mechanism.

From the passenger doors, it is removed in the same way! With the exception that they do not install a lock drive rod, which means you can skip the first points. Installing the new part is done in the reverse order.

Execution Sequence

3. Remove the internal door handle in the same way as the internal front door handle (see “Internal door handle - removal and installation”).

4. Press the latch and disconnect the wiring harness block from the lock.

5. Remove the outer door handle with bracket (see “Outer door handle - replacement”). Disconnect the lock drive cable from the bracket.

7. Using a TORX T30 wrench, unscrew the three fastening screws and remove the lock.

Recommendation. Lubricate the lock mechanism with grease and apply thread locking agent to the lock mounting screws.

8. Install the parts in reverse order.

Recommendation. After installing the lock, check that the door closes easily and tightly. Adjust the lock if necessary.

9. Mark the position of the lock latch so that you can return to the original setting.

10. Using a T40 TORX wrench, loosen the two bolts securing the lock retainer.

11. By moving the latch back and forth and left and right, we achieve easy and tight closing of the door.

12. Upon completion of the adjustment, tighten the screws securing the lock retainer to the prescribed torque of 22 Nm.

Internal handles

To change interior door elements, you will have to spend even less time than on external ones. Let's look at the step-by-step instructions for the driver's door:

Decorative trim is completely removable;
Next, the screws are unscrewed to secure the part to the door;
The handle is carefully removed from the door panel;
The drive rod is removed from the holder;
Disconnect all wires and remove the element;
To install a new part, proceed in reverse order.

Before starting work, make sure that there is really a need to completely remove it from the door. Very often, troubleshooting problems in interior elements requires only removing its top cover, and further work is carried out on the inside of the part. This is the method that is used if it is necessary to eliminate the creaking of opening elements.

Door handle covers

Often, in order to hide defects that have appeared during operation, car enthusiasts install chrome plates on the door opening elements of Lada Vesta. Such a decorative element is inexpensive, but gives the car a fresh look. The linings are sold as a set, and you can find them for external and internal ones.

Installing the element does not require special knowledge or skills. The cover is attached to the factory part using double-sided tape, sealant or other adhesive material. Be careful during installation to avoid problems in the future. If the chrome door handle trim is not installed tightly enough, dirt and moisture can get into the resulting cracks, which means there is a risk of rust.

Before purchasing items, study the offers of different stores. Some companies seriously inflate the price and instead of several hundred rubles, you have to pay a couple of thousand for them. However, the quality does not change. You can only pay a large amount for linings made of stainless steel, since their service life is long and their wear resistance is superior to chrome ones.

If the external door handle on a Lada Vesta does not return back

Some Lada Vesta owners are faced with a problem when the outer door handle does not return to its place. If you contact your dealer about this malfunction, the door opening mechanism can be replaced (warranty repairs performed). In response to this situation, AVTOVAZ issued Order No. 28-18 dated March 13, 2018 “to replace the left door opening mechanism module.” The order was sent by one of the Lada.online readers.

If there are cars from the list (Appendix 1) on the territory of the dealership center (unsold, check-in for maintenance and repair), it is necessary to inspect the door opening mechanism module of the left front and left rear. If there is a number “2” on the counterweight (Appendix 2), the module must be replaced. The module with the number “1” on the counterweight must be replaced only if the handle is clearly stuck. When replacing the module, the lock switch lever 8450030224 may break. Module 8450039482 and lock switch lever 8450030224 must be ordered from LADA IMAGE JSC.

Have you ever encountered a situation where the outer door handle on a Lada Vesta broke and does not return? Was the mechanism replaced under warranty?

Removal and installation

Rear door cards are plastic panels on the doors located inside the car, on the passenger compartment side. They serve to make the interior of the car more beautiful. Sound insulation is also improved and the temperature inside the cabin is maintained. Behind the standard door panels there is sometimes additional sound insulation, thermal insulation, etc. Removing door cards is necessary for many operations. Car window tinting, additional noise/vibration/thermal insulation work. Replacing glass, door locks, painting doors, treating them with anti-corrosion compounds, replacing and repairing power windows - everything requires removing the cards.

Let's consider removing rear door cards on Lada Vesta.

In order not to scratch the cards, the doors themselves or other interior parts, it is advisable to use special plastic spatulas. Or, in the absence of such, various plastic objects, cards, etc. You can also use a flat-head screwdriver, but we recommend wrapping the blade of the screwdriver in a cloth. Otherwise, scratches on the plastic will not add beauty and newness to the interior of your car. It’s easier to buy a set of plastic spatulas, since they are not expensive.

In the variant under consideration, Vesta is equipped with mechanical rear windows. We will need:

1. Set of blades 2. Head “10” with ratchet (or socket wrench 10) 3. Torx T20

First of all, remove the window handles. The same handles were on many VAZ cars. We insert the spatula into the gap between the lower washer and the middle mount. There is a protrusion on the middle part that needs to be pulled out a little.

At the same time, use your fingers to pull out the middle part in the direction opposite to the direction of the window lifter handle.

The middle part can be easily removed if the protrusion is pressed out.

After this, pull the handle towards you and remove it from the slots of the window regulator. The base of the handle and the round plastic washer are also removed.

We take hold of the door handle. We insert a plastic spatula between the pad and the handle itself. We carefully remove it.

There are two bolts under the handle cover. They attach the handle to the door itself. Use the tenth head to unscrew and remove these two bolts.

We are looking for a self-tapping screw at the bottom of the card. It is unscrewed with a T20 Torx.

That's it, the door card is now held on by pins and velvet. We pry the card off with a spatula and then slowly use our fingers to unclip the card around the entire perimeter of the door. The pistons are quite fragile and often break. We advise you to stock up on them and exchange them for new ones before assembling the door.

It happens that such door card pistons are sold without rubber seals. Then they can be rearranged from the broken clips. Catalog number of clips (pistons) 6991Y8.

After all the pistons have been snapped off, the door card remains hanging on the velvet. Velvet is a sealant near the glass. It is hooked onto the door and the card, in turn, is hooked onto it. We remove the card from the velvet. That's it, the card is in your hands. We put it aside and do what we were going to do - sound insulation, tinting, etc. Let's look at the disassembled door and Vesta's door map. There are some features:

The speaker on the door is secured with rivets. That is, if you decide to replace it, you will have to drill out the rivets.

The decorative speaker grid is located on the door card. It is held in place by latches. If you remove it without removing the card, it can break. It's better to remove the card once again.

There are decorative overlays on the door cards. Their color depends on the equipment of the car - black, silver, red or brown. These linings also have latches, that is, it may be possible to remove them when the door is assembled, but they will not go back.

There is also a door trim on the interior side. It itself is covered with material and glued to the card. There are no additional latches or fasteners on the card. That is, when covering/covering this lining with something, just tear it off and then glue it in place. The door is assembled in the reverse order. The card is hung on a velvet cloth, the clips are directed into the mounting holes and the card is pressed into place with light blows of the hand. Then the door handle is screwed on and the window handle is put back.

Typical problems with Lada Vesta door handles

Most often, door handles on Vesta jam or do not return to their original position. This is especially true for the driver's door, which is used more intensively. This problem sometimes occurs immediately after purchasing a new car. The manufacturer knows about this defect and replaces these parts in the warranty service without problems, so if such a malfunction occurs, you can simply contact the service center, where they will fix it for you. But you can cope with this problem yourself.
In addition to jamming, many drivers are worried about such a nuisance as the constant squeaking of internal door handles. This intrusive sound can be eliminated by installing additional insulating material or sealant from the inside, which will require dismantling and disassembling the internal element.
Another common problem is damage to the paintwork near the outer trim. To prevent them from scratching the paint, it is necessary to fix the gasket between the moving element and the body, which can sometimes not be held securely. In order to do this, you need to glue the gasket under the rubbing parts using double-sided tape.

Removing the door handle on a Lada Vesta car

Looking at the handle from the outside, it seems that it does not have any fastening elements and it is completely unclear how to dismantle it. In fact, access to the fasteners is located under a rubber plug at the end of the door.

There is a bolt inside under the plug. It needs to be unscrewed using a T15 key. There is no need to completely unscrew the screw; you can simply loosen it a few turns - this will be enough.
Next, you need to carefully pull out the plastic stopper.

It should come out easily, without any extra effort. The plastic here is quite fragile, so you need to act carefully. If the element does not slide out, you can spray a little liquid lubricant, such as VD-40, into the gap and try again.

After the corner is removed, the door handle must be moved slightly back and towards you. First the back part is released, and then the front. You also need to act carefully, with smooth movements.

The process described concerns the passenger handle. If you need to remove the driver's, then first you need to disconnect it from the lock that is located in it. To do this, the door cards are removed to open access to the door rods, and the fastenings are carefully disconnected.

How to remove interior door handles on Lada Vesta?

Internal handles often bother drivers with squeaking and unpleasant squeaking noises while driving. This problem can be solved by using a gasket inside the Madeleine part or automotive sealant. You must act in the following order:

Remove the plastic cover. To do this, you need to carefully pry it over the edge with a flat object and remove it. It is better to use special plastic spatulas that will not damage the decorative coating of the door. This interior element does not have any fasteners in the form of screws or bolts, so it is very easy to remove. The main thing is to act carefully so that the thin plastic does not break.

After the handle is dismantled, you need to carefully glue the joints with insulating material. To do this, you can use madeline, a special anti-creaking noise-insulating tape that is sold in car dealerships, or fabric electrical tape. It is necessary to glue along the entire perimeter, excluding the clamps, so that the part can hold on. Some drivers use sealant instead of insulating material, but after this treatment it will be difficult to dismantle it again if necessary, and it may need to be completely replaced.
Reinstall the handle in the reverse order. After gluing it will snap tighter, and you need to tighten it well and press it. We check that everything is done correctly by closing and opening the doors several times.

Removing the coarse filter

To remove the Lada Vesta coarse fuel filter, made in the form of a fine mesh, the fuel level sensor is first removed.

First of all, using a screwdriver, disconnect the drain tube from the intake chamber.

Then the guide covers should be removed from the intake chamber, but first you need to mark the guide with the spring.

Next, by disengaging 3 latches, the fuel pump housing, which comes complete with a coarse filter, is removed from the intake chamber.

The filter element itself is held in place by a spring (retaining spring). You need to pry it up and remove the mesh.

How much will it cost to replace Lada Vesta door handles?

Many Vesta car owners prefer to completely replace them instead of repairing them. Sets of new parts are sold in car dealerships everywhere, and purchasing the required color is not a problem. You can order the necessary spare parts on the Internet, for which you need to know their article number.

Marking and cost of Lada Vesta door handles:

Number	Installation location	Price
8450007739	Front outer (right)	from 940 rub. up to 1451 rub.
8450007873	Front outer (left)	from 940 rub. up to 1451 rub.
8450007872	Rear outer (left)	from 800 rub.
8450007739	Rear outer (right)	from 800 rub.

The cost of a set for four doors is approximately 2500-2700 thousand rubles, depending on their color and point of sale. Craftsmen charge an average of 500 rubles for installing door handles, but knowing how to remove a Lada Vesta handle, you can make the replacement yourself.

Reasons for replacing the ignition switch

There are 3 main reasons leading to breakdowns of this device:

mechanical wear as a result of long-term use;
problems with the electrical part of the lock;
damage due to attempted break-ins and car theft.

Reference. The first troubles associated with turning on the ignition and starting the engine may appear after three years of operation of the VAZ 2110-2112.

Not every one of the listed reasons leads to a complete replacement of the element; sometimes you can get by with “little loss” by changing one of its parts. To determine this issue, you need to diagnose the signs of a malfunction:

Contacts are burnt or oxidized. In this case, the mechanical part works, but the electrical part does not. The problem is solved by cleaning or replacing the contact group.
The key gets stuck in the slot, after starting the engine it is not thrown back and you have to turn it by hand. These are malfunctions of the core (larvae) and the ejection spring, which can be completely repaired.
Obvious mechanical failures of the locking tongue (the steering wheel is very difficult to rotate), jamming or cracks in the housing are a reason to replace the entire ignition switch.

A separate issue is the loss of all keys by the owners. It can be solved in two ways - by replacing the entire device or the key turning mechanism - the cylinder. For obvious reasons, the second option will be cheaper, especially if you do the work yourself.

Reference. As practice shows, the mechanical insides of an element can be broken by an ignorant driver who has lost his keys and is trying to unlock the steering wheel in order to start the engine by shorting the wires. There is a more elegant way - to remove the lock, and only then connect the wires of certain colors, as described below.

A faulty contact group can be easily diagnosed if you have a multimeter or other device with a resistance measurement function in your household. To do this, you need to get to the connector located under the plastic frame of the steering column and disconnect it. Then use a multimeter to measure the resistance between all contacts in the block, turning the key to different positions. Depending on the result, the following conclusions are drawn:

the device shows infinity - the contact group is out of order and needs to be replaced;
some resistance value indicates burnt or oxidized contacts, try to clean them;
zero readings on the device indicate that the electrical part is fully operational.

Important! You need to measure the resistance in the block whose wires come from the ignition switch (male connector), do not confuse it with other contacts connected to the car’s on-board network.

conclusions

Making minor modifications to the door handles of a Lada Vesta car is not particularly difficult. This does not require any special skills or complex tools, so anyone can cope with the task. The driver just needs to remember that removing external and internal elements requires care and caution, since the plastic on Vesta is quite fragile.

Complete replacement of handles if necessary is also not a problem. In online stores or on shelves, you can purchase sets of a suitable color, or cover parts that have lost their appearance with plastic covers.
