At the Gorky Automobile Plant from 1996 to2005 was the year of release of GAZ-3110 Volga cars. Their production has already stopped, but today there are many such cars on the road, and it is important for their owners to know about the repair and operation of the GAZ-3110. If there are malfunctions, there is always an option to contact the car service, but the warranty for these cars is over, and any repairs will not be expensive. Therefore, many car owners prefer to repair the GAZ-3110 with their own hands.
Operation of a car
In order to reduce the risk of breakdowns, it is importantcorrectly operate the car. An important role is played by warming up the engine before the trip, and in the first minutes of the movement, speeding and switching to higher gear are undesirable. It is necessary to allow time for the oil to warm up, thus ensuring sufficient lubrication, without overloading the units and assemblies. This is especially important in the winter.
During the trip, you need to monitor the readingsinstruments and general condition of the car. If there are no typical sounds, you should try to find out their cause and fix the problem. You can not allow the engine to run for a long time in the extreme mode, monitor the high-speed mode, especially if the roads are badly covered - so quickly wears the suspension. It is necessary to try to foresee the situation on the road, so that the traffic is smooth, without sudden acceleration and braking.
Timely lubrication of parts will reduce the load on thenodes of the car, that is, extend the service life. We should not forget about the timely and full maintenance. First of all, this is a change of oil, cooling and brake fluids.
If the timing of maintenanceexceeded, the unit has to work on contaminated liquids, thereby reducing their service life. It is also important to change the brake pads in time, without unduly worn them. For detailed acquaintance with the list and terms of routine maintenance it is necessary to address to the instruction.
General information on repair
Today, repair works on GAZ-3110 are very often performed independently, it saves the budget, and the search for necessary information will not be difficult.
But before you start repair yourself,it is important to properly diagnose, and do it as quickly as possible, with the first faults of the car. For example, repairing the front suspension GAZ-3110 will cost much less when the fault is detected in the early stages, and not when the unit is completely out of order. Thus, do not ignore the "first bells" of malfunctions.
By the way, repair of suspension GAZ-3110 drivers usuallyperform themselves, as it is not difficult to assemble and disassemble this node. The main thing is to replace all worn out items with new ones, as it is impossible to fix and weld here.
The same goes for the stove. As a rule, it starts to work incorrectly because of the leaky radiator. It is desirable to replace it immediately.
Of course, the repair of the GAZ-3110 with its own handsnot always possible. For example, a generator or a battery should be repaired by specialists, since professional tools, special devices and test stands can not be avoided here.
Engine repair
Often problems with the car are associated with the engine. GAZ-3110 "Volga" was produced with a carburetor (ZMZ-402) and an injector (ZMZ-406) engines.
Repair of GAZ-3110 engines is practical in one way, because the motors are similar, so consider the example of ZMZ-406.
Engine repair is responsible andA serious operation that requires a qualified approach. But if there is a great desire and the corresponding knowledge, this event can be done on its own.
Repair of the GAZ-3110 406 engine begins withpreparation of tools and a site for unfolding elements. The platform is needed in order to expand all the parts in order, because it is so much more convenient and faster to collect the motor back.
For convenience, first remove the hood and the panelwiper, as well as protect the front wings from damage by covering them with suitable material. The disassembly itself can be done in any order. For example, you can first remove all the hinged parts, then with the greatest ease remove all the remaining parts.
After that, you need to inspect the space under the hood and thoroughly wash it with an iron brush and kerosene or gasoline.
Crankshaft and block should be measured, perhaps hereneed a boring. It is advisable to do this in a specialized workshop. A specialized check will not interfere with both the flywheel and the clutch basket. The flywheel experts will check for heartbeat and, if necessary, carry out the trimming, balancing with the crankshaft and basket. For gas, these are very useful and necessary activities.
Also an important activity will be the acquisition ofconnecting rod and core inserts, rings and pistons in size. After boring, the parts must be rinsed and blown. Using 14 hexahedron, unscrew the plugs of dirt traps, carefully clean everything and return them back.
The cylinder head must be checked foradherence to the unit, check the guides and valves, replace the oil-removable caps. In order not to engage in grinding all available 16 valves, you can take the head off to a specialized workshop.
When all the above activities are completed, the engine can be assembled.
Repair of suspension
When repairing the GAZ-3110 Volga, variousproblems with other aggregates and nodes. As a rule, when repairing the transmission and suspension, replace all the failed parts, cleaning the contacts before it. Let's consider in more details admissible breakages and repair of a forward suspension bracket GAZ-3110.
The front suspension is a rather complicated design. If there is a knock or strange noise, then it is necessary to carry out diagnostics in order to prevent unforeseen breakdowns.
The problems can be the following:
1. Appearance of noise and knocking at the bottom of the car GAZ-3110. Repair in this case will vary depending on the reason:
- The shock absorber broke - it needs to be changed.
- Rubber seals were worn, which are used in the connections of some elements - they need to be replaced.
- The hinges of the levers were worn out - a replacement is also required.
- Worn ball support - replace the racks with the hinges.
- The appearance of play in the wheel bearings - you need to adjust the gap, replace the bearings.
- The arc of the spring broke - to replace the old spring with a new spring.
2. The appearance of a squeak at the bottom of the car - the problem of making joints of the lever, you will need to replace the hinges.
3. The angle of installation of the front wheel has ceased to be regulated:
- Deformation of the crosspiece from a strong impact - you can replace the part.
- Worn hinge - also replacement is required.
- Breakage of the spar, the lever of a suspension bracket or a rotary fist - to repair. or replace damaged items.
4. The car leads to the side while driving:
- The difference in pressure in the wheels - you need to measure the pressure and set the same.
- The angle of wheel alignment is lost - it is necessary to adjust competently.
- Deformation or damage to the lever and rotary knuckle - repair or replace defective parts.
- Different spring stiffness - replace springs with equivalent ones.
These are the main problems of the front suspension of its repair on the GAZ-3110.
Repair of power steering
As already mentioned above, some works maybe easily carried out independently. Such repairs include the repair of the GAZ-3110 GUR. Basically, all the problems with the power steering and its incorrect operation are due to the malfunction of the power steering belt. In this case, it will have to be replaced.
The power-assisted steering belt is a very important detail,although a small size. It is recommended to change it every 50 thousand km. But here much will depend on the conditions of the car. To replace this part will not be a big deal, the main thing is, when installing the belt, it's right to pull it.
In order to repair the GUR in time, you can focus on recommendations for mileage, and sometimes inspect the site for defects.
Possible malfunctions of a steering and their elimination
1. The steering wheel shifts on the steering wheel. The causes of the malfunction may be as follows:
- the bearings of the steering shaft have worn-they need to be replaced,
- the steering column bolts are loose, tighten the bolts.
2. Increase the free wheeling of the steering wheel. This happens due to:
- incorrect adjustment of the side clearance of the steering mechanism - adjustment of the side clearance of the mechanism,
- Violations of adjustment of ball joints of steering linkage - adjustment of ball joints,
- wear of the bipod shaft sleeves - replacement of the crankcase of the mechanism or sleeves,
- loosening the bipod or steering wheel nuts - tighten the nuts.
3. Sticks steering mechanism. The reasons:
- in incorrect adjustment of the side clearance of the mechanism - adjustment of the lateral clearance,
- worn roller or worm - replacement of worn parts.
4. Oil leaks from the crankcase. The reasons:
- the working edge of the glands worn or damaged - replacement of defective glands,
- oil level increase - restoration of the required oil level,
- the gaskets are damaged or the crankcase cover bolts are loose; the gasket needs to be replaced or bolts tightened.
5. The appearance of extraneous sounds in the steering mechanism. The reasons:
- there is no oil in the crankcase - eliminating the cause of oil leakage and pouring a new
- destroyed the working surface of the roller and worm - replacement of defective parts.
6. Worn tires front wheels (spots appeared):
- loose steering parts - checking and tightening parts,
- emergence of backlash in ball joints of the steering linkage - adjustment and replacement of ball joints,
- tire pressure drops - setting normal pressure,
- adjustment of the steering mechanism is required.
7. The appearance of vibrations and jolts, tangible on the steering wheel:
- adjustment of the steering mechanism is required,
- nuts for fastening the forks in the universal joint are loosened - you need to tighten the fastening nuts,
- emergence of backlash in ball joints of the steering linkage - adjustment and replacement of ball joints,
- the appearance of a backlash of a finger lever in the bracket - replacement of worn bushings,
- Loose fasteners for the steering mechanism; checking and tightening loose fasteners.
Steering gear repair
The repair itself of the steering GAZ-3110 consists in disassembling the mechanism, checking the technical condition of the parts and reassembling.
Disassembly
Disassembly includes the following steps:
- removing the steering gear from the car and clamping it in a soft grip,
- removing clamps and rings for attaching steering rack covers,
- removing the protective covers themselves,
- removal of the inner tips with ball rods of the outer tips,
- removing the lock-nut of the stop with a spanner wrench,
- removing the stop nut and spring,
- using special forceps to remove the stop from the crankcase (before that you need to move the stop, turning the gear clockwise),
- removing the protective cap from the gear,
- unscrewing the nut, removing the gear from the crankcase along with the ball bearing,
- removing the thrust ring and pressing the ball bearing to the gear shaft,
- steering rack removal,
- removing the stop ring of the sleeve and removing the rack bush with the ring.
After the mechanism is disassembled, you need to check the technical condition of the parts:
- wash all parts (metal) and cavities of the crankcase of the mechanism with kerosene; rinse all rubber parts with warm water and wipe with a cloth;
- carefully examine all work surfacesgears and slats for wear and damage (scratches, risks), with minor damage you can handle yourself by taking a fine-grained sandpaper or velvet file, badly damaged and worn parts will have to be replaced,
- ball bearing needs to be checked forjamming, rotation should be free, and all rings, balls, clips and rollers should be checked - there should be no signs of wear and jamming, if in doubt, it is better to replace the bearings,
- it is necessary to check the protective covers of the slats, outer tips, cap, gear cuff and slider sleeve, for cracks, ruptures or loose fitting of parts, they must be replaced with new ones,
- check the clearances of the ball joints for play, dirt, corrosion, replace them.
After checking we collect the mechanism back.Assembly takes place in reverse order, after having lubricated the parts with a special lubricant. More detail to consider the assembly process can be in the repair manual GAZ-3110.
Ignition System Repair
Very often, problems are caused by the oxidation of contacts in the system. As a result, the network breaks and the engine fails.
To check the ignition system, you need to disconnect one high voltage wire from the spark plug and bring it closer to ground (any place on the block or body protected from paint) for 6-8 mm.
In order not to endanger yourself, the wire can befix using dry materials at hand (for example, wood). When the engine is cranked by a starter, a spark should appear, if there is none, then the malfunction is connected with low or high voltage circuits. Find the fault help special devices: voltmeter, ohmmeter, a special strobe. If not, then the low voltage circuit is checked with a car light bulb. It is important to remember that the electrical circuit after the ignition lock is checked when the ignition is switched on. You need to start from the battery and go through the whole low voltage circuit. At the point where there is no voltage, you need to strip the ends of the wires and the surface of the connection. If the situation has not been corrected, then the wire or the device installed in front of the point is faulty.
High voltage circuit needs to be cleaned of dirt.and wipe all the wires. Check all wires for tight contact with plugs and coil sockets. The central wire must be checked for a spark, if it does not exist, then the malfunction in the ignition coil must be replaced. If a spark appears after the coil, you need to check the central electrode, the slider and the contacts.
Problems in the power system
With a bad supply of fuel in the first place you needcheck the gas line for the formation of steam plugs (it often occurs in hot weather and blocks the access of fuel). This problem is easily solved - you can cool the gas line with a wet cloth or just wait until the engine cools down. In winter, the problem may be due to the freezing of water that has entered the fuel; you can warm the gas line with hot water.
If the fuel pump buzz is not heard, then the fuse may burn out (replacement will be required) or the fuel pump itself will fail. It can be searched or replaced.
To check the operation of the fuel pump, you needDisconnect the fuel hose from the carburetor and lower it into a clean container. When the starter turns on, gasoline should run out of the hose. If this does not happen, damage to the diaphragm or pump valves may occur.
Thus, the repair of GAZ-3110 is possible in the "garage conditions" with the appropriate skills and tools.
