We tighten the belt of the VAZ 2110 generator with our own hands


Generator belt

Like any other part of the car, the alternator belt also wears out over time. In this situation, there are some timing tips. The VAZ 2110 alternator belt must be replaced strictly when it wears out. Alternator belt VAZ 2110 8 valves or 16 cl. You can easily replace it yourself. This will be discussed in this article.

Dimensions

It is quite possible that you have selected the wrong alternator belt size for your 16 valve VAZ 2110. This often causes whistling. The correct size of the alternator belt for the 8 valve VAZ 2110 should be determined in advance, even before going to the auto parts store.

The sizes are different, and they are individual for each VAZ model.

If we talk specifically about the “ten”, then adhere to the following rules for choosing a belt size:

  • In the absence of air conditioning and power steering, 742 millimeters is suitable;
  • If the car is equipped with a hydraulic booster, then the size will be 1115 millimeters;
  • If an air conditioner is also present, then the optimal size is 1125 millimeters.

Some craftsmen regularly use original belts from other AvtoVAZ models - Priora and Kalina - to replace them when repairing their "ten".

Motorists Council

As practice shows, many experienced VAZ 2110 drivers, who have been driving this particular model for many years now, carry an additional alternator belt with them in the trunk. This is due to the fact that its breakdown can occur at the most inopportune moment. This node cannot be called the weakest point of the “ten”, but problems may arise with it. And it is better for you to be prepared for such a situation.

Otherwise, you will have to call a tow truck, go to the nearest service station, and pay a lot of money for the services of specialists. Although, if you have a spare alternator belt and a standard set of tools, if it breaks, you would spend literally a couple of tens of minutes and calmly continue driving with a new belt. Because the choice is always yours!

Tension adjustment using a roller

Adjusting roller and key for it

Some modern machines use special adjustment rollers to adjust belt tension. They allow you to quickly and easily tension the belt. As an example of using this method, consider adjusting the belt on a Lada Priora car with air conditioning and power steering, as one of the most popular cars in our country.

How to tighten the alternator belt on a Priora

Work on tensioning the alternator belt on a Lada Priora car is carried out using a special tension roller, which is part of the structure. To work, you will need a 17 mm wrench to unscrew and lock the mentioned roller again, as well as a special key to turn the adjusting roller (it is a structure of two rods with a diameter of 4 mm, welded to the base, the distance between the rods is 18 mm). Such a key can be purchased at any auto store for a nominal price. Some car owners use curved pliers or “duckbills” in their work. However, we advise you to still buy an adjustment wrench, given its low price and ease of further work.

Voltage regulation process

To adjust with a 17 key, you need to slightly unscrew the fixing bolt that holds the adjusting roller, then use a special key to turn the roller a little in order to increase (most often) or decrease the belt tension. After this, use the 17 key to fix the adjusting roller again. The procedure is simple and even an inexperienced car owner can handle it.

It is only important to choose the right force

After you have done the tensioning, you need to perform a check. To do this, start the engine and turn on the maximum consumers of electricity - high beams, heated rear window, air conditioning. If they work properly and the belt does not whistle, it means you have tensioned correctly.

Hello, dear motorists! Well, let's move on to specific cars and their lovers?

“PRIOROVODY” - this is what the owners of cars of one of the latest VAZ series called “Lada” - “Priora” call themselves.

Many people liked the stylish and modern car. The deep-rooted belief that domestic cars are worthless is gradually dispelling. The cars have indeed become more comfortable and attractive, and their technical equipment has improved significantly.

Step-by-step instructions for replacing a 16 valve car

It is better to carry out the replacement on an inspection groove or overpass, so that it is convenient to work under the machine.

Tools

You should prepare for the replacement procedure by preparing:


New alternator belt for replacement

Stages

The replacement procedure is different for cars equipped with and without power steering. Below we will consider both options.

Replacing the alternator belt on a VAZ 2112 16 valve with installed power steering consists of the following steps:

At this stage, the difference between cars with hydraulic booster appears - they do not have an adjusting bolt. Tension adjustment is done using a tension roller.

The procedure on a car without power steering is simpler:


Generator drive without power steering

This concludes the procedure for replacing the alternator belt on a VAZ 2112 16 valves. By doing it yourself, you can save on visiting a car service center. In addition, knowing how to change the alternator belt, you will feel confident on your trip, since you can always change this spare part yourself.

In what cases does a car need to be replaced?

In what cases is it necessary to check and change the belt on a Lada Priora 8 or 16 valves, which belt is better to use, how to tighten the tensioner correctly?

First, let's look at the main signs of wear:

  1. First of all, the check is carried out if the strap begins to whistle. The whistle usually appears when starting the engine, increasing the speed, or activating electrical equipment. Sometimes fixing the problem involves tightening the strap by tightening the tension roller. If the tension is normal, there is a possibility that one of the drives, for example, a compressor or generator unit, is jammed. Also, the whistling may be due to wear of the bearing elements of the Conder clutch; all worn bearings must be replaced.
  2. With the motor turned off, you should carefully inspect the device. If it is clear that the strap has lost its elasticity or has become damaged in the form of cracks, delamination or tears, this indicates that it will soon have to be replaced.
  3. Looseness may also be due to wear on the tension roller.
  4. The car begins to shake when the electrical equipment is activated. This problem happens very rarely and usually in such cases car owners have no idea what to do. Reduced traction and shaking can be caused by high loads on the car's electrical network.
  5. The low battery indicator began to light up on the dashboard, and you are sure that the battery itself is functioning normally and is fully charged. But keep in mind that this problem may also be associated with wear of the component parts of the generator set, for example, brushes or rotor (video author - Vladimir Z).

Reasons for whistling

Let's look at the main reasons why the V-belt connection whistles. They boil down to this:

  • The belt has low tension. At the same time, he slips, which is especially noticeable at night, when he whistles with special “zeal.” This is due to the fact that at night the generator is forced to work in increased mode, providing the car with light;
  • The destruction has begun. It dries out and literally begins to fall apart. First, cracks appear, then pieces fall off. At the same time, it also whistles due to the fact that the bullies catch the pulley, contributing to slipping. It needs to be changed urgently;
  • Moisture ingress occurs quite rarely, and it evaporates during operation. But if at the same time the V-belt connection whistles, this indicates that it is necessary to apply tension;
  • Wedge of the generator itself.

Right size

Another reason why the connection whistles may be an incorrectly selected belt size. But this, as a rule, becomes clear immediately after installation. Therefore, you need to know the size before going to the car market or store. In fact, there are quite a lot of sizes, as if the designers selected the length individually for each model.

Timing belt Contitech VAZ 2110 (16kl.)

Here are the main sizes that should fit the “ten”:

  • If there is no power steering and air conditioning, take the size 742 mm;
  • The VAZ 2110 generator belt with power steering is 1115 mm long;
  • With air conditioning, even more – 1125 mm.

It is also possible that the size of Kalina or Priora will suit you.

Kinds

Lada car belts may vary. Lada 2110-15 may have a hydraulic booster, the pump of which will be driven by the same belt as the generator.

The differences, in turn, depend on the presence of power steering or its absence. A car equipped with hydraulic power steering will have a longer belt than a car without it.

The picture below clearly shows the difference between the two belts.


There is a long belt on the left, a short one on the right (car without additional equipment)

There are a large number of varieties of alternator belts. In the 90s, with the advent of the VAZ 2109, the generator drive belt was of the V-type. Subsequently, it was abandoned and with the advent of the VAZ 2110, the V-belt was replaced by a poly-V-belt.

How to tension the alternator belt

Many car owners are interested in the question: how to tighten the alternator belt? After all, the battery charge level and the voltage in the car’s electrical network depend on this. Also, the condition of the belt itself, as well as the condition of the crankshaft bearings and the generator shaft, depend on how the generator belt is tensioned. Next, we will analyze in detail how to properly tension the alternator belt with a specific example.

How to change the belt yourself

If you have ever encountered the need to replace a belt on a 16-cl or 8-cl engine, then this procedure will not take much time. If you are encountering this for the first time and have never heard of a generator before, we recommend that you seek help from specialists. Don't forget that one wrong action can lead to irreversible consequences. Therefore, these instructions will help everyone who decides to replace the belt for the first time.

Required Tools

Of course, any repair work begins with the preparation of the necessary tools. To replace the strap on an 8- or 16-cl. Lada Kalina engine, prepare:

  • open-end wrench size “19”;
  • socket wrench set to “8”;
  • wrench to “13”;
  • new alternator belt.

Open-end wrench on "19"

Socket wrench "8"

Wrench "13"

New generator element

Stages of work

If you have prepared everything that may be required in the process, then you can begin the replacement work. So let's get started:

  1. Turn off the engine and open the hood of the Lada Kalina.
  2. The alternator belt can be found on the left side of the engine compartment. If you don’t know where it is, then start the engine and look in the engine compartment. The strap will rotate on rollers and you will see it.
  3. Having found the installation location of the element, take a wrench and loosen the screw that secures the adjusting rod. Immediately try to touch the belt to see how tight it is. This is necessary so that you understand how to set the tensioner after installing the element.
  4. When the nut is loosened, take an “8” spanner and tighten the adjusting rod. When you start turning it clockwise, the tension on the generator belt on the rollers will be loosened. Turn the rod almost all the way.
  5. This will loosen the belt tensioner on the rollers. If the tensioner is already loose, you can unscrew the lower fastening of the device. To do this, use the key at “13”.
  6. It is necessary to move the adjusting rod upward. When the rod is pulled back, the strap can be removed, but first remove it from the shaft of the device.
  7. Once the belt portion is removed from the pulley assembly, remove it completely from the crankshaft.
  8. Pull out the element and visually inspect it. If the strap is cracked, you will see other signs of deformation, for example, the shape has changed, then it must be replaced. Install the new component in place of the old one, assembling everything in reverse order.
  9. When the installation of the element is completed, it is necessary to check the tension on the rollers. The tension must be adjusted using the appropriate rod. The element should not be too loose as it will regularly come off while riding. But it shouldn’t be too tense either.
  10. Start the engine and warm up the car to 50 degrees. Then turn off the engine and check again how tightly the element is tensioned. If it's loose, tighten it.

1. Stop the engine and loosen the adjusting rod nut

2. Tighten the adjusting rod so that you can loosen the belt.

3. Move the rod up and remove the strap, first from the generator pulley

4. Remove the element from the crankshaft pulley

Replacement with power steering and air conditioning

If changing the alternator belt on a car without power steering takes only ten minutes, then on the contrary, in the case of power steering or air conditioning, as on the Priora, the procedure becomes noticeably more complicated.

The fact is that if power steering is installed on the car, then the location of the generator is already in a different place. The power steering pump is installed in its original position. The generator itself is moved higher in this case. In addition to the fact that on cars with air conditioning and power steering, the location of the generator has been changed, the belt itself also runs on a different axis. In this case, the part first passes through the crankshaft pulley, then the tension roller, the generator shaft, the pump shaft and again the crankshaft pulley.

Note. The replacement procedure on a car with power steering is complicated by the fact that the belt rotates around the left engine mount. Thus, in order to replace the part, you should lift the engine, and only then remove the chain.

Let's begin the replacement procedure:

Note. The bolt of this very support should, in theory, fall down after unscrewing, but it is possible that its head will rest against the power steering pulley. If this happens, it's okay. You will need to unscrew the power steering pulley, then unscrew 3 bolts, remove the pulley and pull out the bolt.

Installation of a new part is carried out in the same sequence. But before buying a new belt, you should know that the part must have 6 rivets. In addition, the length of the generator belt must be exactly 1115 mm. If such a chain is not commercially available, then it is recommended to install a Priora belt with air conditioning.

How to replace the Grant alternator belt

The replacement process is not simple and depends on the equipment of the car: whether there is a tensioner, air conditioning. In the latter case, you cannot do without a lift and dismantling the engine mount due to the air conditioning compressor clutch pulley.

For a Granta with air conditioning, for installation you will need to hang the wheel and remove one engine mount.

How to change a belt on a Grant 8 and 16 valve without air conditioning and tensioner

What you will need for work:

  • a knife, if you just need to cut off an old part;
  • crank or ratchet with head 13;

Getting ready to remove the engine mount.

Using a wrench or ratchet with an E14 head, unscrew the screws securing the support to the engine.

Use head 17 to unscrew the screws securing the support to the body.

We remove the support. Make sure the weight of the engine is securely resting on the crankcase support. PHOTO: www.zr.ru

Step 5. Dismantling and installation

We remove the belt from the pulleys and rollers and pull it out.

We install the new one in the reverse order.

The final tension can be adjusted by adjusting the tensioner.

VAZ 2110 generator belt - device, adjustment, do-it-yourself replacement

Hello, dear motorists! Many years have passed since it left the Volzhsky Automobile assembly line. A barrage of criticism was directed at the new product, which stood out strikingly among the “Zhiguli” uniformity.

Today we can say with confidence: the car has stood the test of time and proved that the tenth series of VAZ has the right to life. Like any other new car, the VAZ 2110 interested all true car enthusiasts with the new technical solutions that were proposed by the designers.

It’s impossible to say that the car was very surprising in any way, because everything that we can see “inside” has long been used on models from foreign manufacturers. The developers should be given credit for their desire to make the car components as simple as possible to design and practical to use.

For example, in the VAZ 2110 model, the alternator belt is tensioned using an adjusting bolt, which is very convenient and as reliable as possible.

Alternator belt VAZ 2110 - device and adjustment

As you know, in order for a car to drive, in addition to fuel in the tank, it also needs electrical energy. An internal combustion engine has the ability to produce electricity on its own if it is equipped with a generator.

The pulley at the end of the engine crankshaft is connected to the pulley on the generator shaft using a belt, which transmits rotational motion. In order for the belt drive to be constant and efficient, tension is applied to a certain degree. The alternator belt tension parameters are determined by the vehicle manufacturer.

Of the possible ways to regulate belt tension, the manufacturer in the VAZ 2110 model proposed one of the most reliable designs without additional rollers, when the tension is carried out by moving the generator away from the engine using a special bracket and a tension bolt.

The belt tensioning procedure itself is not difficult even for a novice car enthusiast.

It is very important to have the skill of adjusting the degree of tension, since the whistling of the alternator belt that appears can only be eliminated in this way, and this may be needed far from service centers

In order for the 2110 generator belt to have the necessary adjustment, you should perform the following steps:

  • battery terminals are disconnected;
  • use wrenches to loosen the nuts of the upper and lower fastenings;
  • by turning the tension bot clockwise, we achieve the required tension (the deflection of the belt when pressed between the pulleys is no more than 10 - 15 mm);
  • tighten the fastening nuts.

The adjustment may have to be repeated, but first you should turn the engine crankshaft 2-3 turns and check if the tension has changed.

Replacing the VAZ 2110 alternator belt - nothing is easier if you know “how”

During its short life, the generator belt endures significant mechanical loads. It is not surprising that after some time it becomes unusable.

Quite often the belt breaks, but this happens in most cases due to exceeding its service life. The vehicle mileage between belt changes should not exceed 50-60 thousand km.

Even if the belt is visually still in good condition, it needs to be replaced. For such a part on a VAZ 2110, the price may seem high to some, but the damage from its rupture at the wrong moment can be much greater.

Replacing the 2110 alternator belt itself is not difficult. To do this, you need to have a new belt and a pair of wrenches.

The technology for replacing the alternator belt is simple:

  • The battery terminals must be disconnected;
  • the generator mounting nuts are loosened;
  • by unscrewing the tension bolt, the generator is pressed against the engine block;
  • the old belt is removed and a new one is put on in its place;
  • The belt is tensioned and the fastening nuts are tightened.

It should be taken into account that the new belt will stretch a little when first used, so after replacement it is necessary to check its tension more often.

Performing tension

If there is no wear on the V-belt drive, but there is a whistle, first of all, check the tension level. We will not use complex terminology, but will simply advise you to press with some force on the belt in the middle.

If the tension is done correctly, then the belt will bend no more than 8 millimeters. If the deflection is greater, then the element will have to be tensioned, and if it practically does not deflect, the tension will have to be loosened.

The problem is not the whistling. Due to weak tension, the battery does not charge effectively, and the drive itself begins to wear out faster. Excessive tension can lead to damage to the alternator bearings and stretching of the belt.

Correct tension of the VAZ 2110 generator belt is performed as follows:

  • Loosen the generator from the bottom and top. A nut is used for this;
  • Turn the adjusting bolt and adjust the belt;
  • If you want to increase the tension, the bolt is turned to the right. Thus, you move the generator away from the cylinder block;
  • To loosen the tension, move in the opposite direction - to the left;
  • Use a wrench to grab the fastening bolt and turn the crankshaft a couple of turns, then check the tension;
  • If all is well, the tension is correct, the nut can be tightened back.

Alternator belt dimensions VAZ 2110-215, Kalina, Priora

There are a lot of sizes of alternator belts, it seems that they made a separate belt for a specific model, but there are several sizes that are most often used and are suitable for all models of the tenth family.

Let's start, perhaps, with the general model of a wide multi-ribbed belt, which was installed on standard VAZ models and the first generators:

• VAZ 2108 – VAZ 2115 size – 698 mm.

Models without power steering and air conditioning:

• VAZ 2110 – VAZ 2112 size – 742 mm.

Next is the Kalina VAZ 1118 option:

• Without power steering and air conditioning Size – 882 mm.

• With air conditioning, size – 1005 mm.

VAZ 2110 – VAZ 2112, as well as VAZ 1118 (Kalina), VAZ 2170 (Priora) with power steering:

• Size 1115 mm.

VAZ 2110 with air conditioning:

• Size 1125 mm.

These are the most basic sizes that will definitely fit a particular brand.

Selecting a belt manufacturer

Today, choosing a manufacturer of a particular spare part can be quite difficult due to the fairly wide selection. But if we look at the statistics of many car owners and service stations, we can conclude that the highest quality belts for driving auxiliary units are:

  • BRT - Balakovo Rubber Equipment, often installed from the assembly line
  • GATES - often also a factory option
  • Bosch - has a fairly wide range of products, including belts, and the quality is quite high
  • LUZAR
  • ANDYCAR

If we consider the most trouble-free belts, then according to statistics from surveys of motorists and service station technicians, we can conclude that the highest quality ones are produced by GATES and domestic BRT.

How to replace the Grant alternator belt

The replacement process is not simple and depends on the equipment of the car: whether there is a tensioner, air conditioning. In the latter case, you cannot do without a lift and dismantling the engine mount due to the air conditioning compressor clutch pulley.

Step 5. Dismantling and installation

We remove the belt from the pulleys and rollers and pull it out.

We install the new one in the reverse order.

The final tension can be adjusted by adjusting the tensioner.

Dimensions

It is quite possible that you have selected the wrong alternator belt size for your 16 valve VAZ 2110. This often causes whistling. The correct size of the alternator belt for the 8 valve VAZ 2110 should be determined in advance, even before going to the auto parts store.

The sizes are different, and they are individual for each VAZ model.

If we talk specifically about the “ten”, then adhere to the following rules for choosing a belt size:

  • In the absence of air conditioning and power steering, 742 millimeters is suitable;
  • If the car is equipped with a hydraulic booster, then the size will be 1115 millimeters;
  • If an air conditioner is also present, then the optimal size is 1125 millimeters.

Some craftsmen regularly use original belts from other AvtoVAZ models - Priora and Kalina - to replace them when repairing their "ten".

Alternator belt replacement process

Alternator belt location

Before starting the replacement process, it must be said that the belt drives the generator, which in turn maintains a stable on-board network and also charges the battery.

So, let's get straight to the process itself:

  1. We dismantle the “minus terminal” from the battery.

Remove the negative terminal from the battery

Removing the power steering reservoir

After unscrewing the fixing bolt, let the generator run

Remove the lower engine mount to pull out the belt.

Pull the alternator belt through the slot

Product selection

Also, it is necessary to immediately determine the quality of the product, since the work and service life will depend on this.

Original catalog number for a 16-valve engine

Original alternator belt produced by AvtoVAZ

2110-1041020 – original catalog number of the alternator belt for the 2110-2112 family of cars with a 16-valve engine. This part is produced at the AvtoVAZ plant. The average cost is 700 rubles.

Replacement without power steering

First you need to check the tension to determine the degree of wear. A normal belt, naturally free of cracks, should bend by 10 or 15 mm if it is subjected to a force of 100 N or 10 kgf. The force must be applied exactly in the middle, right between the generator and the crankshaft pulley. If the tension is weak or, on the contrary, tight, you need to either adjust the part or replace it.

Replacement algorithm

Note. You need to remove the part by moving the generator as close to the cylinder block as possible.
