Replacement of the heater tap VAZ-2107very quickly, only the resource of this element is extremely low. In general, on the "classic" crane stove delivers a lot of trouble, not only in winter, but even in the warm season. This is one of the most short-lived parts, not only in the cooling and heating system, but also in the entire vehicle. Very often there are leaks, with rare use of the valve wedges in one of the extreme positions. Repair it does not make sense, you need to install a new one.
What is the heater tap for?
Системы отопления салона и охлаждения двигателя interconnected. A radiator installed in the cabin is connected to the small circuit of the cooling system. At its entrance is mounted a tap that blocks the flow of hot antifreeze. The stove consists of several elements:
- Heater radiator.
- Electric fan.
- Fan ON button.
- Block resistance to adjust the speed of rotation.
- Flap control levers.
If there were no heater tap, hot antifreeze would constantly circulate around the radiator. In this case, the cabin would always be a high temperature.
Но именно кран препятствует проникновению в салон hot liquid. With the help of the controls located in the beard of the panel, the supply of hot antifreeze is turned on and off. The crane is fixed directly to the radiator with two bolts. A rubber ring is installed between the body of the crane and the radiator. The axis that drives the mechanism that blocks the flow of fluid has a small lever. A hard cable is attached to it. Most of the drivers for the winter fully open the stove valve, and in the summer it is closed. Consequently, for several months he does not touch at all. That is why it is wedged.
Typical breakdowns
Replacing the heater valve VAZ-2107 is made in the presence of the following breakdowns:
- Excessive wear of gaskets and seals.
- The destruction of the device.
- The presence of scale on the inner surface.
- Gaskets and seals normally work as long as the quality antifreeze is in the cooling system and its level is normal.
- Scale forms when using water instead of special liquids.
With the destruction of the body there is a leak, it can be identified by the following features:
- Appearance on the front and side windows of oily droplets.
- Reducing the level of antifreeze in the tank.
- Wet spots or puddles appear on the floor at the passenger's feet.
In the event that the heater valve leaks,Try using the key on “10” to tighten the bolts a little. If it is not possible to get rid of the leakage, it is necessary to replace the heater VAZ-2107 valve. Please note that antifreeze contains a large number of harmful components, so it is undesirable to pull over repair. If the crane does not switch on the car, there are several reasons for this:
- If the adjustment lever moves without resistance, then most likely the drive cable has come off the clips.
- When the valve becomes clogged, the lever moves very tightly.
Attempting to repair this device does notworth it, it's easier to install a new one. It is inexpedient to repair the stove crane on a VAZ-2107 car — the cost of the new one is rather low. Some motorists instead of annually buying a new crane, install plumbing. And twice a year they open and close it. Not very convenient, but reliable and durable.
Repair Tools
On the car VAZ-2107 repair can be performed using standard tools. You will need the availability of:
- Multiple wrenches - on "7", "8", "10".
- Phillips and flat screwdrivers.
- Pliers.
- New faucet stove.
Pay attention to what to buyceramic faucet, not cheap, installed by default. Ceramic has a much longer service life, parts do not wear so much, scale and pollution do not form on the surface. Buy in advance the crane of the heater VAZ-2107, the price of ceramic is not more than 500 rubles. But if you want, you can even install a water tap in the engine compartment or under the glove compartment.
Preparation for repair
First you need to installVAZ-2107 on an incline to the front was lower than the rear. In this case, you completely drain the liquid from the cooling system. To do this, put under the engine a capacity of at least 10 liters, then unscrew the plug with a key on "13". From the radiator it is also necessary to drain the remaining liquid.
All work is carried out only on the engine is cooled down.Otherwise, you can get severe burns. Drain the liquid should be carried out with the faucet open the stove. But if it fails to open, you need to loosen the attachment of the lower pipe and drain the liquid from it.
Replacement
The algorithm for performing the work is as follows:
- Unscrew the casing with which the control cable is fixed.
- Remove the end of the cable from the faucet stove.
- Unscrew the nuts, which are used to mount the valve body to the radiator. Please note that antifreeze may leak out at this point, so put a dry rag on the floor.
- Take out the old faucet.
- Remove the adapter, which is equipped with a nozzle that supplies hot antifreeze.
- Replace all rubber gaskets that are on the tap.
- Install the adapter on the new device.
- Secure the valve to the radiator by tightening the mounting bolts.
- Install the control cable and ensure that the valve opens and closes fully when the lever is moved.
The final stage
After all the work done, you need to againmake sure the quality of the assembly. Fill antifreeze into the cooling system. In order for all the contours of the system to be filled with antifreeze, it is necessary that the front of the car be higher than the rear and the tap of the stove must be open. As the engine warms up, be sure to squeeze the nozzles with your hands to completely get rid of the air plugs. With this, the replacement of the VAZ-2107 heater tap is over, the stove will operate normally.
