Many drivers know that the replacement of the stove radiator on the VAZ 2107 is not a rare phenomenon. This is due to the features of the building of the heating system on the Zhiguli. Therefore, any owner of the car of this model is desirable to know how to properly work on replacement. It should be noted that heating on the VAZ 2107, almost identical to the "penny".
Difference in some nuances of air ducts. Also, the replacement process here is completely the same, on the "seven" a little more about the magnetic panel and the glove compartment. Therefore, the one who changed the heater to any of the classic VAZ models will easily cope with the task. Well, for the rest it will be useful to learn how to identify the malfunction of the radiator. And how to change it without any problems.
Signs of breakdown
Replacing radiator stoves on VAZ 2107, it is not difficult, but for a start, it is necessary to determine the cases when it must be changed, well, or at least shoot:
- . This is usually determined by the antifreeze puddle under the feet of the driver and / or passenger. Such a malfunction may appear at any time of the year. It is advisable to replace as quickly as possible. After all, the evaporation of antifreeze is toxic;
- Stove blows cold airThis is usually detected in winter. In this case, first check the crane of the radiator, it is possible that it is simply closed. If everything is in order with him, then it is necessary to remove the radiator and understand the causes of the breakage.
There is one small nuance that needs to be taken into account when buying a new radiator. If you want to get a more favorable climate in the cabin, try to find a copper radiator. Such a heater gives heat much more efficiently. But the aluminum will serve much longer. Therefore, your choice is the following: Comfort or service life.
Replacement
Since the heating radiator is integrated into the cooling system, then before starting work, we start by a liter of antifreeze to replenish the losses of the coolant. The manufacturer from the cylinder block in front of any work with the heater. But, in principle, you can do without it. For actions, you will need screwdrivers, a set of keys. Also flattering a small container for collecting antifreeze from the radiator. The work consists of the following steps:
- Unscrewing (2 screws) panel of the radio, as well as dismantle the duvet box;
- Having access to the fan, unscrew it;
- In the engine compartment, the hoses from the heater crane tubes are removed, as well as from the foil stove. To do this, it is necessary to remove the clamps from them. Straightening hoses, be careful, do not damage your hands about the collector;
- Using the head on 7, unscrew a pair of screws and remove the sealing aperture;
- salon unscrew the cable casing control of the heating system, and remove from the lever;
- Radiator carefully remove. To do this, you need to pull the tubes from the partition between the cabin and the engine compartment;
On the radiator removed, using the key to 10 remove the return tube and the heater crane; - Check the heater crane. It often turns out to be clogged with various sediments. If there is a problem with its opening-closing, or its bandwidth is reduced, then the crane should be replaced;
- Next, we look at the state of the stove itself. If it proceeds, it is better to immediately replace it with a new one. It is important to check it on the bandwidth. In some cases, the performance of the radiator can be restored by flushing it. It takes a strong, and drives through the heater using the compressor. If there is damage to the tubes or they fail to rinse, then you will also have to go to the store for a new device;
- With the reverse assembling of the radiator, you need to put new rubber gaskets, the old can give to flow;
- Further assembly is made in the reverse order. It is desirable to establish new clamps in the engine compartment. Also pay attention to the state of the hoses if there are cracks on them, it is better to replace them.
The last step is to adjust the cutting cable of the stove crane. It should provide a complete discovery and closing of the crane.
After all the work, all attachments are checked for leaks. You also need to drive out an air stopper from the cooling system. To do this, open the expansion tank, and start the engine for several minutes. After that, you can add to the system, lacking coolant. And finally collect the glove box and the radio tape recorder.
Conclusion. All drivers understand that the workable stove in the winter increases the level of comfort and safety. Therefore, the replacement of the stove radiator on the VAZ 2107 in the event of a malfunction is the primary task. Work is not complicated and can be performed even a novice mechanic.
