How to remove the dashboard and instrument cluster on a VAZ 1117-1119 Kalina car

VAZ 1117 "Kalina" is one of the most popular cars from the domestic manufacturer - AvtoVAZ. In principle, there is nothing surprising in the popularity of the Kalina, because this particular model has become a kind of symbol of the new vector of development of the Russian automobile industry.

But today we will leave aside the production directions of AvtoVAZ and the popularity of the Lada Kalina. Let's talk about the process of removing the instrument cluster from this car, as well as the dashboard (dashboard). As for the need to carry out such measures, everything is simple: firstly, dismantling may be necessary to repair certain faults, and secondly, to modernize standard parts, that is, for tuning. By the way, you can read about tuning the VAZ2117 dashboard here.

Removing the instrument cluster Lada Kalina

Work on removing the instrument panel is carried out in the following sequence:

conclusions

After reading the information given in the article, it will be easier for you to navigate behind the wheel and control the operation of the Lada Kalina car systems.

The instrument panel serves to inform the driver about all important processes occurring in his car. It is by using the scales, indicators, symbols and lamps located on this device that the person sitting behind the wheel is able to monitor the performance of components and systems. For the shield to function correctly as a single system, it requires regular diagnostics. It consists not only of scanning by connecting electronic reading devices to the computer, but also by visually monitoring the performance of all specified components of the dashboard (lamps, etc.).

So that the owner of the Lada Kalina, namely the instrument panel of this model we will talk about today, can easily navigate this complex device, the manufacturer kindly agreed to complete the car with the appropriate instructions. It is enough to familiarize yourself with its postulates and all the secrets of the dashboard will be revealed to you, then the instrument panel will not seem like something incredibly complicated.

The manufacturer did his best when developing the design of such a thing as the instrument panel on the Lada Kalina car. It is unlikely that you will be able to find owners dissatisfied with the “interface” of the device. The dashboard is painfully informative and primitive in terms of perceiving symbols and managing some of them.

How to remove the instrument panel on Kalina yourself?

How to remove the panel on Kalina? This question is asked by almost all car enthusiasts who have purchased a new or used AvtoVAZ car. Lada Kalina is an almost legendary car; there are a lot of jokes and stories about it. Of course, listening to all this is quite exciting, but when you yourself are faced with one of the comic problems, it’s no longer funny.

Kalina has many different flaws, and one of them is the dashboard. At the factory, its installation is carried out manually, which can later cause squeaks, unpleasant noise and other annoying sounds during a trip. They check exclusively the gaps, and rarely pay attention to the quality of the torpedo connection.

Because of this, many owners try to remove the panel themselves to eliminate the source of the noise. But this is not so easy to do either. Removing the instrument panel is carried out in several stages, and everything should be disconnected extremely carefully.

Replacing LEDs

Having disassembled the instrument panel unit, you will notice that the illumination of two scales and the display is provided by flat LEDs. They, in turn, can be replaced with parts of the same standard size. But remember one rule: the switching polarity cannot be violated. On a planar diode, polarity is indicated by the presence of a “bevel” on one side.

There is an example when standard elements were replaced with blue light diodes:

The next video will show how you can further improve the tidy by simply replacing the LEDs.

The operating voltage of one diode is 3-3.5 Volts. Do not install elements designed for other voltages. It is not recommended to use LEDs that are too powerful and consume significant current.

Tuning the instrument panel is one of the main reasons why a torpedo and its adjacent parts are disassembled. Lada Kalina is not distinguished by its bright design and interesting design. What can you do about it? Install panel lighting.

This solution will help improve the visibility of indicators. In addition, the perception of the interior will change. You can also change the panel to another one or repaint its parts. Such tuning of the instrument panel is a radical measure, but absolutely justified. The plastic the panel is made of is simply terrible.

Dismantling the panel is a painstaking task, but the hardest thing is to then put it all together so that the panel does not creak.

You need to fit the parts well and tightly, then no sounds will occur. If you first mark the wiring, then connecting all devices should not be difficult.

How to remove the center console in a luxury package

Let's say it was decided to dismantle the panels located on the center console. You can see that there are two of them. One is the front panel of the air conditioner, the second protects the radio and contains air duct grilles in its design. These two parts are not connected to each other. However, it will not be possible to remove the radio panel unless you first remove the climate control panel. Below it are metric screws (A, B) that secure the media center shield from below.

Central console of Kalina-2, Luxury package

The question arises, why are we even talking about how to dismantle the center console, since after this the car can be removed from warranty? Usually the shield is removed to install additional equipment (for example, a rear view camera). But connecting any equipment, the use of which has not been agreed upon with the dealer, will void the vehicle warranty. If you haven't changed your mind yet, continue reading.

The climate control shield is held in place by 4 clips, which are located on the bottom and top sides of the part closer to the corners. Having disconnected even two clips (1, 2 or 3, 4), you can try to pull the panel towards you to dismantle it. But if you have no experience working with such a mount, it is better not to try - you may scratch the outer surface of the shield. In fact, all you need to do is use a flathead screwdriver (some people use a thin-bladed knife and a screwdriver).

To dismantle the climate control panel, you do not need to first remove the control knobs located on it, if we are talking about the “Lux” package. The same applies to the “Norma with climate control” package. In all other versions, a stove control unit is used, the design of which does not allow removing the shield without first dismantling the handles. Be careful.

If the climate control panel is removed, all that remains is to unscrew two bolts and just as carefully remove the media center panel. Additionally, this part is secured with nine clips:

  • Two clips are located at the level of the border of the air duct grille;
  • Three clips on each side board are located at equal distances;
  • Three more clips can be found on the top side (the windows they fit into are circled in the photo).

Based on the information listed above, you can try to dismantle it yourself, but it is still better to entrust this work to a specialist. It is advisable not to use a hammer, chisel, or grinder when performing any actions, as shown in this video. However, here we are talking about the “Norma” configuration, which we will talk about further.
