VAZ-2110, engine cushions: replacement and diagnostics by one's own hands

The replacement of the VAZ-2110 engine cushions is carried outwhen they are completely out of order. Rubber parts lose elasticity, under the influence of an aggressive environment, they crack and become unusable. The metal elements of the pillows are difficult to damage, but they can still be deformed, for example, when striking. The design of the cushions is about the same as that of the silentblock, only the shape is different.

Design Features

Using rubber mounts on the bodyThe car does not transmit vibration from the engine. But there is one more purpose - only the pillows hold the motor. Therefore, before removing the engine, it is necessary to remove the cushions. The design is simple, the cost of the product is relatively small. In total, on vehicles of the tenth family, three or four points of support depend on the type of engine installed. On the eight-valve motors there is only one pillow - the front one. The other two are on the gearbox housing. To ensure that the engine is as rigid as possible, motorists install an additional cushion on the generator side.

Preparation for the diagnosis

Before replacing the engine cushionsVAZ-2110, you need to check them. Very often knocking and vibration do not occur due to failure of rubber products. To verify them, follow these steps:

1. Place the car on the supports.
2. Under the pallet, install a jack, on top of it a small piece of wooden slats or a bar. Raise the jack until the pillows are free of the gravity of the motor.
3. Carry out a diagnosis of all pillows, assess the condition of the bolts. If the thread is broken, restore it or make a new one, larger.

Diagnosis of pillows

Now, when the motor is freely suspended, you can start diagnostics:

1. Visually assess the condition of rubber and metal parts. On them there should be no cracks.
2. The rubber part should not be separated from the metal part.
3. Check the play (free play). Bolts of fastening should be tightened up to the stop.

If you have not identified a malfunction, then replaceThe pillow does not make sense - vibrations and knocking appear for another reason. After completing the diagnosis, it is necessary to lubricate the cushions with a protective device and lower the motor. Always tighten all screw connections.

Replacement of pillows on 8-valve engines

The replacement of the VAZ-2110 engine cushion with 8-valve engines is as follows:

1. Unscrew the upper nut.
2. And also the bolts that secure the pillow to the bracket.
3. Twist the bolts under the arch. With their help, the bracket is attached to the spar.
4. Dismantle the bracket and place a new cushion. Assemble in the reverse order.

Replacing the left-hand airbag of the VAZ-2110 engineeven easier - unscrew the upper nut and lower the motor to the support. Then remove the upper washer from the support. Only after removing the washer and unscrewing all fastening bolts can you replace the front engine cushion.

To dismantle the rear support, it is necessary to unscrew the keyon 17 two bolts, with which it is fixed to the body. It is advisable to pre-treat all threaded joints with WD-40 penetrating lubricant. Under the engine it is necessary to establish a jack and slightly to raise it. Unscrew bolts of fastening to a transmission, holding nuts a key on 17. Some factories make pillows without an arm of fastening. So if it does not, you can install it from an old pillow. Harm from this will not be.

Replacement of pillows on 16-valve engines

The device of fastenings on such engines is a littleotherwise there is no back support. First, change the front lower cushion, after the upper one. To ensure that the motor does not move longitudinally, additional supports (rods) are installed. You can install such supports on all cars of the tenth family. Very often, the lower branch pipe from the radiator VAZ-2110 or a similar model is torn off. The installation of such a rod completely solves the problem. But still significantly reduces the level of vibration (although not all motorists think so), wear of other pillows is much slower. Therefore, the installation of such rods will have a positive effect on the overall condition of the car. And the replacement of pillows will have to be done much less often.

Manufacturers and prices

Now you know how to change the engine cushions,and you need to talk about the cost of products. The most popular manufacturers in Russia are Balakovo and Togliatti. It is up to you to choose which part to choose. For quality, they are not much different, the choice depends on individual preferences. Prices they have about the same:

1. The side cushion of the engine (in the people it is called "guitar" for similarity) - the cost of 480-600 rubles, depending on the seller.
2. Rear pillow, attached to the gearbox (without bracket) - 350 rubles.
3. For 16-valve prop motors cost about 450-500 rubles.

A complete set will cost you about1500-1800 rubles. But it will greatly improve ride comfort, the level of foreign noise will decrease, since the new rubber installed in the supports is much more elastic. Usually in shops the choice is small. Therefore, before removing the engine, make sure that all the cushions are in a normal state. If not, replace.

Conclusion

If you do not replace the pillows in timeengine VAZ-2110, nothing terrible will happen. But the convenience of riding will not be very good - there will be knocking, unnecessary vibration. Unfortunately, this can lead to the appearance of cracks in the dashboard, windshield, the destruction of the rubber elements of the cooling system. But this can only happen if the pillows are completely destroyed.
