According to technical Regulations, Spark plugs in engines 21116 and 21126 should be changed during TO-2, that is, after 30 thousand km of mileage. In fact, this period can be extended once a half, if we are talking about gentle mode of operation. But it is not necessary to do so if the car is under warranty (then the replacement is made according to the regulations). Here we will list which spark plugs are suitable for each of the indicated engines. We assume that the owner of "Kalina-2" uses the directories of the following companies: Beru, Champion, NGK, DENSO, BRISK, BOSCH.
- OJSC CALP (Russia) - AU17DVRM, A17DVRM;
- BERU (Germany) - 14FR-7DU, 14R-7DU;
- Champion (England) - RC9YC, RN9YC;
- NGK (Japan) - BCPR6ES, BPR6ES;
- DENSO (Japan) - Q20PR-U11, W20EPR;
- BRISK (Czech Republic) - DR15YC, LR15YC;
- Bosch (Germany) - FR7DCU, WR7DC.
On the left there is a brand of a product suitable for a 16-valve engine, on the right - for. It can be noted that candles with a thin electrode, iridium, etc. were not listed here. The thin electrode is used then to ensure the reliability of the ignition on high revolutions (7,000, 8,000 rpm or more), but VAZ engines above 6,000 rpm is triggered. Iridiya candles in their design have a thin central electrode, but as we have already found out, the transition to the use of similar details is an excessive money, and no more. The durability of iridium candles approximately corresponds to the value of the "life life" of a candle with a copper electrode of a standard section. Selection Leave the owner.
Appeared from the ceramics - change the candles immediately!
According to its operational parameters, including in durability, all components of the listed names are almost no different. This is confirmed by the reviews of the owners of the car expressed in various forums, etc. Perhaps there are more expensive components, the use of which will allow a banal replacement to increase power, torque of the engine or some other characteristics. But installing such candles in the 21126 motor, most likely, you will have to forget about the warranty on the box. It is always like this: you need to imagine what we do and what we want to achieve as a result.
Selection of candles for modern engines VAZIndications for replacing candles:
- If there is a black color ("suede") at a cone on the insulator and electrodes, then you can clean or replace. Cleaning is performed, including the heating method. When replacing it is better to use candles with a slightly smaller value of a calil number than it was before;
- If the surface of the insulator looks like a yellowish glossy ceramics, it means that the candle must be replaced. IN this case There is a formation of vitreous glaze. It is electrically conductive.
In the first of the considered cases of Nagar, it is formed because not all elements of the candle are heated sufficiently, and self-cleaning does not occur. This can be obtained when the car is used for short trips with low speeds, frequent starts and stops. The same effect is characteristic of the operation of the motor at reduced temperatures. According to logic, in such situations, the recommended replacement will be a candle with a smaller caliling number than was provided by the manufacturer. You can try in an 8-valve motor to install A14 DVRM candles instead of A17DVR, and so on. Only here, such a replacement is necessarily negotiated with the dealer.
Comparison of A17 DVRM analogs issued under different brands
One of the Internet editions conducted a comparative testing of spark plugs intended for the VAZ-21116 engine. Analogues of the Candle of the A17 DVRM, supplied by the following firms:
- APS, Bosch, Brisk - Russian production;
- Bosch Platinum, BERU, FINWHALE - Germany;
- NGK, DENSO - Japan;
- Eyquem - France;
- Champion - "Made in the European Union."
We note that testing was carried out on the 8-valve engine VAZ-2111 (injectors, lambda probe, without a catalyst, "January-5.1"). All measurements were carried out on the stand.

The result of the completed tests is shown in the photo in the form of graphs. As you can see, the meaning of buying imports is still there: the use of bosch candles, as well as brand products FinWhale, Brisk and Champion will provide a noticeable increase in power. Want to save on fuel - it means, ask the products of NGK products in stores. Additional comments here are unnecessary.
For forced engines, the increased value of compression is characterized, and VAZ motors. By installing candles ignition Brisk., You can not worry about the presence of a spark at high pressure. But we note that the candles of NGK have similar characteristics. It turns out that the products of NGK should be considered the optimal choiceTrue, recently appeared for fakes for this brand. And Novodel, it seems, now comes from France, what is told in the film.
My Kalina was already running a little more than 40,000 km, and the factory candles still worked normally, despite the fact that the manufacturer recommends changing them once every 30,000 km. Well, I think I will try to buy and put new ones, maybe something will change for the better, but in principle it is better, everything is not necessary, everything was fine in my opinion.
I went to the BB, took a ngk spark plug set. Since the engine on my viburnum is an 8-valve, then for my motor were №13, and if you have a 16-valve engine - then you need to install №11.
Updled old and looked at them, everything seemed to be fine, that's just too red they were, and it says first that in gasoline that I fired the car, there were too many iron-containing additives that do not benefit engine. Since refueling mainly at one local dressing, then I sin on it. Now you have to change the gas station.
I spun new candles and decided to try how they would work, and would be different at least something from the factory. I started a cavalina normal, after warming up the tachometer arrow, it still barely floats, but if you don't look out, then it is simply impossible to determine the floating momentum on the rumor. But when I started checking on high speed, it was pleasantly surprised, the sound became much softer and this is clearly not self-impact, since I listen to my 8-valve tractor for two years and I can definitely feel the changes. If you judge by feeling, I began to resemble my previous car from 1.5 16-CL. Motor. But at idle still did not stop bubbing, it seems not to get rid of it.
So, while the replacement of candles is pleased, high speed is now quiet and without unnecessary vibrations, as before. Let's see how high-quality them are and for what time they are enough. While everything is super.

Kalina 2 after 100 thousand km. Run. Should I ...
Replacing the spark plugs is required planned service Car, especially considering the quality of gasoline in our country. About the replacement should be thought about both the preparation of the car for the winter. In this article we will look at how to clean or, if necessary, replace the candles on Lada Kalina.
How are the spark plugs arranged?
Spark plugs are a device for igniting the fuel and air mixture in the engine. They consist of a metal housing, an insulator and a central conductor. They are located in candle wellswhich, in turn, are in the head of the engine cylinders. High-voltage wires supplying voltage at the spark discharger are attached to the top of the top.
Experienced motorists advise them to change them every 20 - 30 thousand km of run. Or earlier, if this requires the status of these parts. So, on the need to replace candles on Kalina can indicate problems with the starter, a reduction in engine power, car twinkling and vibration when driving.
Candle replacement process
Before the replacement procedure, it is desirable to blow or wipe the cylinder head and the head of the cylinder block. It is done to avoid dust, dirt and garbage in the engine block, which can lead to disastrous consequences.
To work, we will need: a head for 10 mm, a candlestone or head 16 with an extension (for eight-valve engines, you need a head for 21 with an extension).
Step-by-step instructions for replacing candles on Kalina with a 16-valve engine
- With a sharp jerk up remove the plastic engine of the engine.
- Disconnect the wires from the ignition coils, after which we unscrew the fastening bolts and remove the coils from the candlestone.
- Unscrew the key to 16 and insert a new key.
Step-by-step instructions for replacing candles on Kalina with an 8-valve engine
- Remove the tip of the wire (do not be afraid to make a little effort).
- Twink the key to 21 and change the key to the new one.
Installing candles should not make excessive effort, otherwise you can disrupt the thread of the well, which is fraught with costly repairs. In Kalina, replacing candles for 1.4 liters and 1.6 liters of engines are similar.
Possible breakdowns and their causes
There are many reasons why candles can fail. It can happen due to oil pollution or naigar, destruction of the insulator, mechanical damage, breaking jumpers, etc. Realistically, you can only cope with pollution. In all other cases, you will have to think about replacing the details.
There are three main purification methods: the digestion method, the sandblasting and ultrasonic cleaning method. Due to the fact that for ultrasound cleaning it is necessary to specialized equipment, we will focus on the remaining methods.
Method of digestion
The essence of this method is that you need to reveal the candles in water with a washing powder for an hour. This method will allow you to clean the item from contamination without damaging the case. It is worth noting that after cleaning, they give an unstable yellow spark that can cause problems at high speeds.
Sandblasting method
The part is cleaned with compressed air supplied from the sandblasting machine. Unlike the first method, after this cleaning, the candles completely restore their initial parameters and give a good blue spark. However, this method only works with one-electrode, since in them a ceramic cone is more accessible than in multi-electrode.
