Problems, malfunctions and repair of the engine 2106

VAZ 2106 1.6 liter engine. continuation of the troyeshny engine and, in turn, the motor of a penny. The main differences between the VAZ 2106 engine and 2103 with a piston with an increased diameter of up to 79 mm, the engine block 2106 remained the same. By the way, on it on the left side, to the left fuel pump there is a place where the engine number 2106 is stamped, many cannot find it, this information will solve your issue once and for all. There is also an engine 21067 injector, it is a conventional six-gear motor covered with a cylinder head from an injection field of the 21214 motor, in fact, all the differences. As time and practice have shown, carburetor engine sixes are more stable than injector.
The 2106 engine itself is an injection or carburetor inline 4-cylinder with an upper arrangement camshaft, timing 2106 has a chain drive. The motor belongs to the so-called "classic" series with a high block. The resource of the motor, with careful operation, timely maintenancey exceeds the 125 thousand km established by the plant and reaches 180-200 thousand km. Despite this, this motor is popularly considered less reliable than the engine from 2103. In order for the engine to live happily ever after, it must be warmed up before moving. V winter time warming up the engine of a VAZ 2106 lasts about 5 minutes at 1500-2000 rpm, as soon as it starts to hold idle speed then you can go.
Below we will see the main disadvantages and problems of this engine, which are most often encountered. Let's start with oil untimely replacement oil in the 2106 engine or saving and using low quality oil, leads to the fact that after a run of 60,000 km, the cylinder diameters will increase by 0.15 mm, forget about cheap oilsOh. In addition, it often happens that the VAZ 2106 engine eats oil, more than a liter per 1000 km. In this case, we measure the compression, based on this, we determine the valves arrived or rings or something else.
On 06 engines, there is a problem of increased wear of the camshaft, a disease of all Zhiguli. Like all previous Zhiguli engines, this VAZ 2106 engine needs valve adjustment, about once every 7-10 thousand km, a loud knock when the engine is idling, audible from the driver's seat with the hood closed, speaks of this. You can talk about sounds and knocks in the motors of sixes forever, in addition to the aforementioned valves, detonation also belongs to the main causes of noise in the VAZ 2106 engine, why the engine detonates - low-opening fuel, carbon deposits in the combustion chamber and the wrong ignition setting, adjust the ignition, pour normal gasoline and the problem disappears. Is the VAZ 2106 engine knocking making a metallic sound? These are piston pins or connecting rod bearings, you need to urgently go to the service. Does the sound appear when the engine warms up and is similar to the clatter of clay dishes? The problem is in the pistons, you can slowly get to the service. A knock in the VAZ 2106 engine, which is heard from the bottom of the engine, simultaneously with a drop in oil pressure, indicates a problem with the main bearings, we turn off the car and go to the service in tow. If the noise is more like a creak in a VAZ 2106 engine, look at the damper and timing chain tensioner, if the grinding noise is a pump bearing.
Unstable operation of the VAZ 2106 engine is a common thing on carburetor machines, clean the carburetor jets. If the VAZ 2106 engine stalls at idle speed, while the idle speed is adjusted normally, adjust the air damper. If it stalls on the move, the reason is in the power supply or ignition system.
Moving on, is your 2106 engine warming up or boiling? We check the thermostat (did you save and buy junk?), The radiator (clogged or not), possibly air in the cooling system, these are the main points causing overheating. Owners, especially those who bought a car for the first time, often shout why the VAZ 2106 engine is troit? I will name the main reasons: the valves were incorrectly adjusted, the valve burned out, cylinder head gasket out of order, this will be indicated by the jumping temperature of the coolant, increased smoke from the exhaust system (white smoke). Low-octane gasoline, an incorrectly adjusted carburetor, the same carburetor can be the reason why the VAZ 2106 engine jerks, but if it keeps idle, see the ignition system. I want to add about the smokiness, does the VAZ 2106 engine smoke a lot? These are oil scraper rings or valve seals, take the car to the service and set yourself up for a major overhaul.
Ok, we figured it out, now pay attention to the engine mounts 2106, they can cause vibration of the engine, if the pillows are worn out, go to the service station to replace them. In addition, engine vibration can be caused by crankshaft imbalance and cardan shaft, different pistons and other less common causes. All this is diagnosed and eliminated in the service conditions.
Sometimes they ask interest Ask: what to do when the VAZ 2106 engine is stuck? There is no definite answer here, an autopsy will show. Take the car to the service, the master will determine the reason on the spot and be ready to part with a good amount of money.
All of the above problems are relevant for the entire classic family of engines, including the Nivov 1.7 liters. and 1.8 l.

DIY 2106 engine tuning

Increasing the volume of the VAZ 2106 engine

Sooner or later, the standard 75 forces are no longer enough for all owners, the car begins to seem sluggish, non-driving, and the question arises of how to increase the engine power of 2106. The most economical and simple tuning is the boring of the VAZ 2106 engine by 3 mm for an 82 mm piston. It will no longer be possible to sharpen, the walls of the block become very thin, only the block sleeve remains. To obtain a more torque motor and further increase the volume up to 1.8 liters. you need to increase the piston stroke to 84 mm. For the rest, the modernization, revision and boost of the engine 2106 1: 1 repeats the revision of 2103, we read about the installation of shafts.

Engine from Priora to VAZ 2106

If you got an extra prioromotor in the garage, don't rush to send it to the landfill, there is a better idea. Installation 16 valve engine for VAZ 2106, this is one of better ways to get reliable 100 hp, but at the same time, the procedure is quite difficult, you will have to cut the engine shield with a grinder, digest the pallet, install the 2101 crankshaft bearing to the eight, the native box remains, the clutch changes to Priorov's. In addition, the flywheel, exhaust system, cooling and accelerator drive will require improvements. If not scary, then it's worth a try. Materials with a step-by-step photo report are widely available, it will not be difficult to find it. With the 2112 engine on the VAZ 2106, the situation is similar, in any case, such a swap is better than squeezing the juices from an old classic motor.All this is realizable with Niva 1.7 and 1.8

Turbo engine VAZ 2106

The most expensive way to increase the power of a VAZ 2106 engine is a turbine and is used only by fans for fun, entertainment, etc. If money doesn't matter to you, read the section “ Turbo classic“, Otherwise, see other options for altering the VAZ 2106 engine.

The VAZ-2106 engine is applicable to installation on VAZ-2103, 2106, 21053, 2107 cars. The 2106 engine was created by modifying the VAZ-2103 engine. The engine capacity was increased from 1.5 liters to 1.6 liters by increasing the cylinder bore. The result of the modifications was an increased engine power, 74.5 hp. instead of 71 hp

VAZ 2106 (or "six", as this model is popularly called) is a car that went down in the history of AvtoVAZ due to its frenzied popularity. The car gained popularity not only because of its quality and unpretentiousness, but also due to the availability of various transformations. For example, the owner has an option such as replacing the engine with a more productive one. The main thing is to choose the right power unit for your "six" and correctly install it.

What engines is the VAZ 2106 equipped with?

VAZ 2106 is considered a logical continuation of the entire product line of "Volzhsky automobile plant". In particular, the "six" is a modernized version of the VAZ 2103. The sixth model of the "Lada" was produced in the period from 1976 to 2006.

VAZ 2106 - one of the most massive domestic cars, in total, more than 4.3 million cars were produced.

Over the years, the "six" has undergone some changes - for example, the engineers of the manufacturing plant experimented with power units to give the car dynamism and power. In all years, the VAZ 2106 was equipped with a four-stroke, carburetor, in-line engine.

Table: engine options

The engines of the sixth model are characterized by the same characteristics as for previous versions: the camshaft is located in the upper part of the device, rubbing mechanisms are lubricated in two ways - under pressure and through splashing. The lubricant is consumed quite quickly with this method of supply: the plant has installed allowable rate 700 g per 1000 kilometers, however, in reality, oil consumption may be higher.

Oils of both domestic and foreign manufacturers are poured into VAZ 2106 engines, it is important to use the following types of oils:

• 5W - 30;
• 5W - 40;
• 10W - 40;
• 15W - 40.

In working order, there should be no more than 3.75 liters of oil in the engine cavity and in the entire lubrication system of the car. When changing fluid, it is recommended to fill in 3.5 liters.

The main technical characteristics of the "six" engine

As mentioned above, the VAZ 2106 power unit is the result of the revision of the VAZ 2103 engine. The purpose of this refinement is clear - the engineers were trying to increase the power and dynamics of the new model. The result was achieved by increasing the cylinder bore up to 79 mm. In general, the new engine is no different from the VAZ 2103 engine.

On the "six" engines, the pistons have the same design as on the previous models: their diameter is 79 mm, while the nominal stroke of the piston is 80 mm.

The crankshaft was also taken from the VAZ 2103, the only difference is that the crank was increased by 7 mm, which is dictated by an increase in the diameter of the cylinders. In addition, the length of the crankshaft was also increased and amounted to 50.7 mm. Due to the increase in the size of the crankshaft and cylinders, it was possible to make the model more powerful: the crankshaft rotates when maximum loads at speeds up to 5400 rpm.

Since 1990, all VAZ 2106 models have been equipped with Ozone carburetors (until this period, Solex carburetors were used). Carburetor power plants allow you to create a vehicle with maximum vitality and productivity. In addition, at the time of release, the carburetor models were considered very economical: prices for the AI-92 were quite affordable.

All models of "six" carburetors since 1990 have a working volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 75 Horse power(74.5 hp). The device does not have large dimensions: it is only 18.5 cm wide, 16 cm long, and 21.5 cm high. The total weight of the entire mechanism assembled (without the fuel being poured) is 2.79 kg. The overall dimensions of the entire motor are 541 mm wide, 541 mm long and 665 mm high. The assembled VAZ 2106 engine weighs 121 kg.

The working life of the engines on the VAZ 2106, according to the manufacturer's data, does not exceed 125 thousand kilometers, however, with careful maintenance power unit and periodic cleaning of the carburetor it is quite possible to extend this period to 200 thousand kilometers and more.

Where is the engine number

An important identification characteristic of any motor is its number. On the VAZ 2106, the number is knocked out in two places at once (for the convenience of the driver and supervisory authorities):

1. On the left side of the cylinder block.
2. On a metal plate under the hood.

The engine number is assigned at the factory, corrections and interruptions of numbers in the number are not allowed.

What engine can be put on the VAZ 2106 instead of the standard one

The main advantage of the "six" is its versatility. Owners of domestic cars VAZ 2106 can tune both the engine and the body practically without restrictions.

Domestic options

Power units from any VAZ models can ideally fit the VAZ 2106. However, do not forget that the replacement motor must be of the same dimensions, weight and approximately the same power as the standard one - this is the only way to safely and efficiently change the engine without any alterations.

The best options for replacement are AvtoVAZ engines:

• VAZ 2110;
• VAZ 2114;
• "Lada Priora";
• "Lada Kalina".

The main advantage of such a replacement is the ease of registering a car with a new engine in the traffic police. You only have to provide a new identification number, as the manufacturer will remain the same.

Engine from a foreign car

To increase the power of the "six", you will have to find more "serious" types of engines. Without changing the engine space in the car, engines from Nissan or Fiat can be installed on the VAZ 2106.

From the European ones, the Fiat 1200 ohv engine will be installed as a native one. Minimum rework.

However, this power may not be enough for fans of "thrill". On the VAZ 2106, the engine from BMW 326, 535 and 746 models will easily "get up". However, it should be borne in mind that with an increase in power, it will be necessary to strengthen the entire structure of the car as a whole. Accordingly, investments will be required to strengthen the suspension, brakes, branching in the cooling system, etc.

Diesel engine for VAZ 2106

It was advisable to install diesel power plants on domestic gasoline cars several years ago, when the cost of diesel fuel was lower than AI-92. The main advantage of a diesel engine is its economy. Today the cost diesel fuel exceeds the price of gasoline, so there can be no talk of any economy.

However, fans of increased engine thrust can easily install various diesel units on the VAZ 2106. Three rules must be observed:

1. The dimensions and weight of the diesel engine should not greatly exceed the weight of the standard VAZ engine.
2. Engines with a power of more than 150 hp cannot be put on the "six". without the corresponding alteration of the body and other systems.
3. Make sure in advance that all vehicle systems will be safely connected to the new engine.

Is it worth installing a rotary engine

Today, only Mazda uses rotary motors to equip manufactured cars. At one time, AvtoVAZ also produced rotary piston motors, however, due to the problem of the device, it was decided to stop equipping cars with such installations.

Installation rotary motor Mazda on the VAZ 2106 will not allow you to do without intervention: you will need to expand engine compartment and refine a number of systems. If desired and the availability of funds, all these tasks are feasible, however, it is more advisable to install an engine with Fiat, for example, since with a small investment it will give the car the same speed characteristics.

Thus, the VAZ 2106 engine can be replaced both with a similar one from other VAZ models, and with an imported one from more powerful foreign cars. In any case, it is necessary to approach the replacement of the power unit as responsibly as possible - after all, if the connection is incorrect or the recommended rules are not followed, it will be unsafe to operate such a machine.

In addition, on the VAZ-2106 car, the engine power was increased to 75 horsepower.

All in all, the "sixes" used three main types of power units:

• a 1.6-liter engine, which is a classic model and is used in the vast majority of cars that have successfully survived to this day;
• engine with a volume of 1.3 liters. To achieve this indicator, the manufacturer slightly reduced the piston stroke length (by 1.4 centimeters in comparison with the previous model). In addition, significant adjustments were made to the design of the cylinder block, gas distribution mechanism and camshaft. Finally, a fundamentally new carburetor was used to reduce fuel consumption and improve fuel combustion efficiency;
• carburetor engine with a volume of one and a half liters. Home it design feature- this is a reduction in the diameter of the pistons, as well as a number of adjustments made to all the main elements of the piston and connecting rod group.

Unlimited options for engine upgrades

One of key benefits the motor used in the design of the VAZ-2106 car - this is the possibility of its modernization. Many domestic craftsmen have found ways to independently raise the power to 110 horsepower by performing the following operations.

The production of the VAZ 2106 car was launched in 1976. This model replaced the VAZ 2103 and differed from it both externally and internally. So, the new model has new bumpers with plastic corners and fangs, and has become more powerful engine 1600 cc. Then it was the most powerful a car Soviet production.

The VAZ 2106 car was produced in different modifications with different engine sizes of 1.3 and 1.5 liters. It has a roomy interior with fabric upholstery, an informative panel, good characteristics undercarriage, and incredible endurance.

Specifications VAZ 2106 dimensions length 4166 mm, width 1611 mm, and height 1440 mm, ground clearance 17cm, size luggage compartment 345 liters, the curb weight of the car is 1035 kg. Rear-wheel drive, with five gears.

Over 30 years of production and operation of the car, a huge experience has been accumulated both in the field of repair and tuning of the car. Engine power and maximum speed at 150 km / h - these are not even the most important positive characteristics this machine. Vaz 2106 is a classic of the domestic car industry with its own history and a special attitude towards it of every inhabitant of our country.

The VAZ 2106 device showed that this car can be operated in different conditions for many years, of course, provided that the driver knows how to carry out minor repairs of the VAZ 2106 with his own hands, knows the instructions for the VAZ 2106 and all the technical subtleties. Well, the repair and operation of the VAZ 2106 at its cost is one of the lowest for domestic cars.
