Description and location of indicators on the panel

After 2006, a new dashboard was installed on VAZ 2112 cars. For reasons that are not entirely clear, any description of it includes the prefix "euro", perhaps due to its modernity and quality.

But to use it, you need to know the symbols, which are not always easy to understand even from the instructions. You can often only guess what a particular indicator or light indicates. To make this task easier, take a look at the instrument below and its explanation.

Description of the panel

See:

1. Pointer arrow. Designed to indicate the approximate coolant temperature. The data is obtained from a sensor that is installed in the gap between the cylinder head and the thermostat. This allows you to obtain accurate data. Sections have a range of 20 degrees, the lower level is 50, and the upper level. 130.
2. Tachometer. Its purpose is known to any driver. show engine speed. Sections of 5 units are digitized every 10 units. To get the real value, add a couple of numbers to the figure. Starting from 55, the engine enters the red zone in revolutions.
3. Left turn signal indicator.
4. A similar indicator for the right turn signal.
5. Speedometer. It is an induction type and receives speed data from a sensor on the gearbox. Unfortunately, it’s definitely not very high; the error can reach 5 km/h or even more.
6. Fuel level sensor. The sensor is located directly in the tank.
7. The warning light indicates a dangerously low fuel level.
8. Low beam indicator.
9. Lamp for monitoring the amount of brake fluid.
10. High beam indicator.
11. Lever for adjusting the clock.
12. Total (odometer) and daily mileage.
13. Alarm.
14. Failure of electronic systems, resulting in critical engine failure.
15. Clock and thermometer.
16. Low battery charging voltage.
17. Lamp for signaling the activation of the hand brake.

19. Fuel mixture enrichment indicator.

Errors on the dashboard 2112

VAZ cars have always stood out for their ease of operation and maintenance. Regardless of the type of engine, injector or carburetor, here the user can independently perform diagnostics and read errors without additional equipment. Symbols may appear on the instrument panel.

Most two-digit codes are a combination of two errors.

Algorithm of actions

First you need to remove the old panel. This is done as on other car models produced by VAZ.

See:

During installation, it is necessary to replace the ignition switch with a decimal or Kalinovsky one, depending on how many terminals on the pad are blocked. You can keep the old one and rearrange the wires, but the new one will work and look better.

The dashboard wiring needs to be replaced. Also, connect the additional two wire sizes at w4/13 and w3/13 on the mounting block. This applies to older units with 11 relay spaces.

Depending on whether it is an injector or a carburetor, the connection has its own nuances. If you bought a whole factory panel, it should be accompanied by instructions. Briefly, you can notice that the speed sensor is not installed on the injector, take this into account when installing.

A car wiring diagram can be of great help. If it doesn't exist, you can find it on the Internet. There is a certain difference between VAZ 21124, 2111 and other car options, so find your own.

If the instrument panel does not work after turning it on, check whether the wiring is correct. this is usually an error.

How to disassemble the instrument panel of a VAZ 2112

The repair manuals for the Lada 112 car indicate that to remove the instrument panel it is necessary to almost completely disassemble it. This is not always convenient, so this section discusses removing the instrument panel without disassembling it

1. We prepare the car for work (see “Preparing the car for maintenance and repair”).

2. Remove the decorative linings of the steering column (see “Decorative linings of the steering column - removal and installation”).

3. Remove the steering wheel (see “Steering wheel - removal and installation”) without removing the horn contact plate.

4. Remove the steering column switches (see “Steering column switches - removal and installation”) without removing their connector.

5. Disconnect the ends of the two wires from the connector of the steering column switches (see “Steering column switches - removal and installation”).

6. Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the headlight hydraulic adjustment control knob.

21mm deep socket wrench

unscrew the nut securing the headlight hydraulic corrector and recess its rod into the hole in the instrument panel.

8. Open the cover of the mounting block (see “Mounting block - replacing fuses and relays”).

9. In the niche of the relay and fuse block, use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the self-tapping screw securing the left inner bracket of the instrument panel.

10. Disconnect the ignition switch wiring harness block (1) and use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the self-tapping screw securing the diagnostic connector bracket (2).

11. Disconnect the ends of the two wires from the brake signal switch (located on the brake pedal bracket).

Ideas for customization

If you have the VAZ 2112 setting available for the panel, it is not too wide. But you can install additional lighting fixtures to see all the readings at night in the dark. It just looks classy, ​​especially if you use a blue setting for the lighting.

This panel has plenty of space for buttons that are not needed on an older machine. But you can set the heated side mirrors and display it on these buttons.

Annotation on installing a Europanel on a VAZ 2110

Many people simply don’t like the old device panel, while others want a Euro panel on the VAZ 2110 since the old one has already lost its appearance, so to speak, it’s worn out. In any case, having decided to make a change, you need to solve a couple more questions: where to get a suitable panel and how will the installation take place: on your own, or will this task be entrusted to specialists?

Panel trim for VAZ 2110, old standard

Let’s immediately decide: there is nothing difficult in installing a Europanel with your own hands, so you can completely dare to do it. In addition, you yourself will control all the stages, perhaps you will want to immediately carry out others with this work - to eliminate noise and squeaks while driving, windproofing, etc.

Vitaly (Vairagi) why are they showing anything else? piece of shit it was and still is!

Alexander (Rachna) tazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Vitaly (Vairagi) damn, it’s like a Bentley. wow, wow.

Alexander (Rachna) Nooo Maybach you are mistaken.

Installation without completely disassembling the panel

The panel, as many people know, consists of three parts, but the Europanel of the VAZ 2110 is, in fact, only the upper part of the dashboard. And if the goal is only to replace it, without any modifications or other tuning, then you can safely do a partial disassembly without removing all the equipment.

The dismantling process goes like this:

1. Remove the dashboard ;
2. Open the glove compartment and unscrew the three screws from the inside. It is quite difficult to unscrew the screw near the windshield, but still doable;
3. Next to the ECU, pull out 4 buttons and unscrew the screws from the inside;
4. We loosen the fastening of the backlight adjustment. You can unscrew it completely, as is more convenient;
5. Having opened the instrument fuse box, we also unscrew 2 screws from the inside;
6. There are still two self-tapping screws that hold the panel trim, but they cannot be unscrewed without complete disassembly. Therefore, either these screws are carefully broken out, or even cut out by lifting the overlay on the right, using a metal file. At the same time, the appearance of the future updated “face” of the interior will not be affected, since the Euro trim will cover these places;
7. Now you can safely remove the cover.

How to easily and quickly remove the dashboard on a VAZ 2110 with your own hands?

Without a doubt, the dashboard is the most noticeable interior detail in a car, because it is located right in front of the eyes of passengers and drivers. The need to remove the dashboard on a VAZ 2110 may arise for car owners for a variety of reasons.

So, by removing this part, you can get full access to all the electrical components of your vehicle, replace the burnt-out wiring with a new one, connect additional devices or lighting, install a Euro trim or sound insulation.

Options for replacing the standard VAZ 2110 panel:

If desired, you can cover the dashboard with various materials of your choice, thereby making the desired changes to the interior of the cabin.

Subtleties

I would like to say right away that removing and replacing a torpedo on a VAZ 2110 will require a lot of time and patience from you

In addition, all repair work must be carried out extremely carefully and carefully so as not to accidentally break the fastening, since the dashboard will not fit back as it should and will creak when driving

To work you will need the following tools:

• marker;
• self-adhesive labels;
• set of screwdrivers and wrenches.

Removal instructions

It is recommended to remove the VAZ 2110 torpedo in the following sequence:

• Interior details. Before starting work directly, it is necessary to prepare the interior, since disassembling the front panel of the VAZ 2110 is best done with room for maneuvers. Therefore, the first thing we do is remove the front seats and steering wheel of the car. It is advisable to carry out dismantling in exactly the same sequence as indicated above, since otherwise it will be extremely difficult to remove the driver’s seat. In order not to break anything, consider your strength when pulling the wheel out of the column splines; to do this, loosen the steering wheel nut a little, and then pull it towards you while loosening it from side to side;
• Transmission tunnel. After the salon is prepared and there is a place to work, we are faced with the next task - dismantling the floor tunnel in the salon. Simply unscrew the screws and push the top of the part being disassembled back. Then do the same with the bottom of the tunnel;
• Steering wheel and steering column. Unscrew the screws on the steering column casing of the VAZ 2110, and then remove the steering column switches. Mark all the wires and connectors released during disassembly with a marker or labels; this will later work to your advantage when, when assembling the torpedo, you end up with a large number of wires of different colors. It is recommended to use the marking especially for owners of cars that are already equipped with an audio system and alarm system;
• Glovebox. The next stage of work will be to dismantle the glove compartment, after which it is necessary to remove the relay and mounting block. Don’t forget to mark the wires as you work and take special care with the fragile speedometer and other dashboard elements that also require special treatment;
• Torpedo. And now we can move on to the immediate purpose of the repair - we have to remove the dashboard. To do this, it is necessary to unscrew the screws in the resulting void behind the glove compartment and unscrew the fastenings. After that, use a screwdriver to hook the air duct on the left side and remove it. Then all that remains is to unscrew the nut, holding the torpedo with your hand, the torpedo and pull it out from the studs, at the same time do not forget to mark the wires with a marker so as not to get confused.

The dashboard has been removed, we have disassembled everything that needed to be disassembled, all that remains is to carry out the repair work, for which the whole procedure was actually started.

Finally, I would like to advise - take the opportunity, do not be lazy and clean the ventilation ducts, sooner or later they will still become clogged and you will have to remove the dashboard again.

Installing a new cover

Installation of a new lining occurs after preliminary preparation:

• It is necessary to measure and trim off excess material;
• But it’s better not to cut off what seemed to be superfluous under the instrument panel, otherwise there will be a gap near the steering column, and you can make cuts to bend it a little if necessary;
• Near the side air ducts, trimming is also done during installation, measuring on site;
• We carry out fitting and adjust trimming;
• We apply anti-creak to avoid squeaking in future operation;
• We choose the method of installing the dashboard with a Euro trim: use new brackets included in the kit or drill them out from the old trim;
• All that remains is to install the instrument cluster you need and secure the Euro trim with self-tapping screws, which are then hidden under the plastic trim.

Components

When purchasing, you will receive what is included in the kit, namely:

1. Europlate;
2. Inserts for switches (buttons) of devices;
3. Trim on the instrument panel;
4. Since your instrument combination may differ from those whose installation is structurally provided, there should also be six plugs; they can be inserted instead of buttons;
5. The buttons themselves and two pads for them: • Double – for low beam and dimensions; • To turn on the fog lights; • Heated rear window.
6. Air ducts;
7. Block and wiring harness designed to connect a double button for side lights and low beam;
8. Brackets securing the instrument panel.

In addition, if you are not entirely satisfied with this combination, and you need more buttons for other devices, then they, as well as the pads for them, can be purchased separately.

With panel disassembly

The first stage is carried out according to the plan already described. Next, we proceed like this:

• We assemble the trim, installing our instrument cluster, air duct panels and those accessories included in the kit;
• At the base of the panel we carefully attach the wiring harness;
• We connect the wires from the Euro pad to this harness, tightening everything with mounting ties;
• We connect devices to the required buttons using connectors;
• We secure the cover with self-tapping screws.

This method, although it takes more time, provides high-quality sound insulation to eliminate all annoying squeaks.

We also recommend replacing light bulbs with high-quality analogues or LEDs. So, the updated panel will look even more solid.

Where can I get Europanel?

The fact is that europlates, as well as assembled europanels, have become in short supply, since their production was discontinued more than five years ago. Therefore, they mostly sell used ones in good condition; it is quite difficult to find a new one. If suddenly the offered product does not suit you, you can install the Priorovskaya by completely disassembling the old one.

How to Remove the Top Panel of a VAZ 2110

Europanel on VAZ 2110 instead of an old torpedo

A frequently asked question is where to buy and how to install a Euro panel or dashboard cover on a VAZ 2110 . This is not surprising, the ancient panel of dozens is already tired and the hunt is to somehow update the interior. In this article I will show you what is needed in order to change the old VAZ 2110 torpedo to the euro and many important issues that you will encounter when replacing the old torpedo.

First, let's define what it is to install a torpedo on a VAZ 2110. Essentially, only the panel , and the lower part of the panel remains the same. It turns out that the torpedo is collapsible and consists of 3 parts. We are talking about the very top trim, so installing it is not as difficult as replacing the entire dashboard of a car.

Dismantling

There is nothing complicated about dismantling the instrument panel on a VAZ 2110; you only need a certain amount of free time, a minimum of tools and your own desire.

The dismantling process consists of the following steps:

• Before directly removing the panel, disconnect the negative terminal from the battery, this will avoid future electrical problems;
• Using plastic spatulas, remove the top lining of the floor tunnel;
• Glovebox. Open the glove compartment and use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the fastening screws located at the bottom. After this, you can remove the glove compartment itself, only you will first need to disconnect the wires going to its lighting;
• Remove the mounting block with the cover;
• Controls. Next, remove the hydraulic corrector mode switching handle; to do this, you only need to pull it out of the panel towards you with a little force. Unscrew the switch nut using the appropriate size socket. Then remove the switch itself from the inside of the VAZ 2110 panel so that it remains hanging on the mounts;
• Air system. After this, it will be necessary to remove the upper side nozzles; this can be done by pushing down the plastic latch with a plastic spatula and turning the nozzle. After this, the nozzle can be removed. It is also worth doing from the other side;
• Fastenings. The removed side nozzles will provide access to the nuts that will need to be unscrewed. Also unscrew the screws at the bottom of the VAZ 2110 panel on the left, near the hood opening lever, in the niche where the mounting block is attached, on the left and right of the console, behind the glove compartment and at the bottom right;
• Seals. Next, you need to remove the rubber seal from the front pillars of the car, and then use a plastic spatula or screwdriver to pick up the trim so that the plastic fasteners come out of their seats. Now the decorative trim can be removed;
• Wiring. After the previous steps have been completed, proceed to disconnect the wiring. There is a bundle of wires next to the ignition switch; you need to disconnect the block with the wires from the lock. To do this, you need to cut off the clamp that tightens the bundle of wires and disconnect the block. Next, you need to disconnect the connectors with the wires next to the gas pedal, the immobilizer connector, the two connectors to which the brake signal contacts go, and the connectors on the harness under the instrument panel on the driver’s side.

After all the steps have been completed, you can easily remove the dashboard on the VAZ 2110 yourself and start repairing it. The panel must be installed in the reverse order. To avoid misunderstandings, it is best to mark where you disconnected which wires.

Removing the instrument panel on VAZ 2110, 2111 and 2112 cars is not an easy task. But at the same time, it is possible to carry out this repair yourself, if you have the necessary tools at hand, as well as clear instructions. Regarding the action plan, there are not many detailed guides on the Internet for removing and installing the instrument panel, and all this is due to the fact that the procedure has a number of difficulties and subtleties that not everyone can remember when writing such an article.

However, I will try to make material that will at least 90% help give the overall picture and the main points that should be taken into account when removing the panel on a VAZ 2110-2112. To perform the repair you will need the following tool:

1. Phillips screwdriver, both short and long
2. 10 mm head, preferably deep
3. Ratchet handle or crank
4. Wire cutters or sharp knife
5. Flashlight if necessary

To change the torpedo trim, it is not necessary to remove it completely!

So let's get started, let's look at the panel overlays, which are divided into:

Euro-1, another name is Caprice and has the index 21104. The features of this lining are that it does not have a passenger shelf.

Euro-2, index 2110L, cover but already comes with a passenger shelf.

Euro-3, a cover without a shelf, but under the instrument panel of Kalina, Priora, and has a climate control module with 3 knobs and an emergency stop button.

There are also exclusive panel that make the VAZ 2110 similar to the Nissan Primera, where the instrument panel is in the center.

In addition to these Euro-overlays, there are overlays that are installed on top of them. For example, the overlay of the Chestnut panel.

It is not difficult to install the Kashtan overlay on the dashboard, so we will not dwell on this, but changing the old panel overlay to the Euro one is already more difficult.

The euro overlay for the panel consists of:

• On the masonry itself
• Inserts for buttons (small insert 2110L-2120031, large 2110L-2120032)
• Air ducts (2114-81080623)

Some tips for updating the instrument (display) panel of the VAZ-2110

If the standard panel overlay on the VAZ 2110 for indicating sensors and meters has already become boring to you, you will probably be pleased to know that replacing this element of the car is extremely simple. This is where you can show your creative talents in artistic and printing skills. If this kind of work is not for you, you can always buy ready-made overlays in the store, or contact a designer.

If you're wondering exactly how to personalize the dashboard trim above your steering wheel, it's relatively easy to do. A template is created in a graphic editor on a computer (CorelDraw, Photoshop or similar) and then printed on self-adhesive film (preferably dark matte color) using a plotter. There are a lot of ready-made templates for the VAZ-2110, as well as modified ones, on the Internet. This is much more profitable than buying ready-made overlays in the store.

Tuning the VAZ dashboard using LED display is also very popular. This kind of lighting practically does not heat the plastic, is durable and consumes minimal electricity. But the overlay will now look extremely stylish and fashionable. You can connect either a stationary backlight, which is turned on with the ignition, or one controlled by a special regulator (you can set the operating mode, brightness and color).

Installing the Euro trim without removing the dashboard

In this option, you need to have a drill and screws on hand.

Rely on the lining mounting diagram and start in order:

1. Remove the dashboard.
2. Open the glove compartment and unscrew the three screws from the inside (positions 1,2,3 in the diagram). Trying to unscrew the screw (pos. 9) from the inside near the windshield is difficult, but doable.
3. Remove the 4 keys (next to the control module) and unscrew the screws from the inside (pos. 4.5)
4. Unscrew or loosen the fastening by adjusting the backlight (pos.
5. Open the fuse module and unscrew 2 screws from the inside (pos. 6 and 7)
6. Now the panel overlay is held in place only by screws, positions 10 and 11. They cannot be unscrewed, so we break them out or lift the overlay by the right edge and cut them off with a file. (Note: the Euro trim will cover the entire top of the panel up to the windshield, so you don’t have to worry about the appearance when you cut or break the screws)
7. Remove the old dashboard trim.
