How much does a VAZ car (Zhiguli, Lada, Niva) weigh? How much does a passenger car weigh? Specifications 2106

VAZ-2106 is a real classic of the Soviet automotive industry. The car was produced for a long time after the collapse of the Soviet Union, which is explained by its incredible reliability. In addition, it stands out against the background of other domestically produced cars for its stunning maintainability of literally every unit, the availability of spare parts, and unlimited possibilities for modernization.

An important advantage of the VAZ-2106 is the engine used in this car. This four-stroke unit, equipped until 2002 with a carburetor and then with an injection fuel ignition system, can run on even the lowest quality gasoline, rarely fails in extreme cold, and can be successfully operated in almost any conditions. Any of its problems are eliminated even without the participation of a specialist - any more or less experienced car enthusiast can easily cope with current repairs.

Weight of the VAZ-2106 engine

On a VAZ-2106 car, the engine weight without a gearbox is 121 kilograms. Therefore, it is strongly not recommended to try to remove or move this unit alone - this is a direct path to serious injury. It is best to have an assistant who can insure you in the process of dismantling or installing the motor.

With all the necessary equipment, including both the cylinder head and the ignition system, the engine weighs even more - 140 kilograms.

Finally, when assembled with the gearbox and accessories attached to it, this value will increase by another 26 kilograms.

As you can see, weight can be called a significant disadvantage of the machine over imported counterparts. To reduce it, increase power, as well as improve dynamic performance, many drivers today install parts made of light metal alloys.

In 1984, a diesel version of the "six" was produced at the Bulgarian car company. Replacing a gasoline engine with a diesel engine did not significantly affect the performance of the car. First, the Bulgarians failed to increase the power of the power unit. Secondly, its weight has increased by about 10 kilograms, which can also be called a minus of the rework.

Other characteristics of the VAZ-2106 engine


The weight of the motor is, although important, but far from its main characteristic. That is why we decided to talk about other features of the power unit installed on various modifications of the "six". For example, the engine power on carburetor models was 77 horsepower. After switching to an injector, it dropped to 75 liters. with. However, this parameter can always be increased by carrying out a number of upgrades.

The cylinder diameter of the VAZ-2106 power unit is 79 millimeters, the torque can reach 3000 rpm, the working volume is 1568 cubic centimeters. Finally, the compression ratio of the motor is 8.5 atmospheres, and the piston stroke is 80 millimeters.

Weaknesses of the VAZ-2106 engine

The engine of the VAZ-2106 car is a modification of the power unit from the "troika". It is quite possible that this is why a number of weak points of its predecessors have been preserved in its design. Domestic craftsmen have learned to diagnose engine problems almost by sound. As an example, we will give several symptoms of breakdowns, as well as suggest which elements of the engine could fail:

The curb weight of a car is the mass of a car with standard equipment, various consumables (oil, coolant, etc.), but minus the mass of passengers, driver and luggage. The dry weight is equal to the curb weight, but only without fuel, some equipment and consumables. That is, this is the mass of an unloaded vehicle without fuel. GVW is the vehicle manufacturer's maximum laden weight. It is sometimes referred to as the maximum permitted mass. It is better not to go beyond this indicator, if, of course, you want your car to serve for a very long time. The increased load has a negative effect on the car body and on the suspension parts.

Vehicle directional stability and handling are also directly related to its weight. The peak of popularity of large, heavy vehicles abroad fell on the 50-60s of the last century. Then the auto industry produced truly gigantic cars. For example, the Cadillac Eldorado of modification 8.2, weighed almost 3 tons. Agree that for such a weight and a makeweight, an appropriate one is needed.

But over time, it became clear that in order to further develop and improve the most important characteristics of the car, it is necessary to resort to reducing its total weight. And if we compare the middle of the last century and today, then the cars have lost half, or even more of their own weight. Plastic, carbon fiber reinforced plastics, light metals - all these innovations made it possible to reduce the weight of a passenger car much lower.

Of course, for lovers of everything big and heavy, cars are produced that look like steamers that drink gasoline in buckets, but this is rather an exception to the rule.

Thus, it turns out that if we take, so to speak, "in general for the hospital", then the average weight of a passenger car is approximately from 1 to 1.5 tons, and if we talk about SUVs, then the whole is already shifted from 1.7 tons to 2, 5 tons.

The Soviet automobile industry has always attracted the interest of amateurs. Values ​​of indicators of such a concept as the dimensions of the VAZ 2106. Weight and dimensional characteristics of the vehicle. Dependence of running characteristics on the overall dimensions and weight of the car. Iron horses. The then auto industry gave the world many samples of trucks and cars, which have become legendary for a long time. ZAZ, ZIL, KraZ, Pobeda, GAZ - these names have become an example of the automotive industry of a recently bygone era.

However, first of all, the Soviet auto industry is even now identified with the brainchild of the Volga Automobile Plant, the VAZ 2106 car. Despite how long this car has already existed, and even taking into account the current innovations in the auto industry, attention to the VAZ 2106 car does not decrease. Let's start our acquaintance with the legend with concepts such as weight and dimensions.

Weights of the car

The actual weight of the car is 1045 kilograms. The main units of the "six" have the following weight:

  • 140 kilograms - engine with equipment (starter, generator, carburetor, etc.);
  • 26 kilograms - gearbox;
  • 10 kilograms - square shaft;
  • 52 kilograms - rear gear;
  • 7 kilograms - radiator grill;
  • 280 kilograms - car body.

It is noticeable that the body is the heaviest structural unit of the car. It weighs like two motors with all the accessories. The rest of the mass of 530 kilograms is scattered between the interior trim parts, wheels, fuel lines, brake lines and other things, the difference in mass of which does not reach such large values.

An interesting fact is that according to all the norms and standards of the Soviet economy, the "six", with an actual weight of 1,045 kilograms, fell into the category of small class vehicles, but at the same time, due to the engine volume, the VAZ 2106 was a full member of group three.

Body measurements and verification of compliance with the specified parameters

There are engineering definitions for concepts such as body and geometric dimensions of a car. These include benchmarks between key points, as well as the shape and spatial arrangement of window and door openings. Now let's look at the question of checking compliance with the parameters.

Cars that have been involved in road accidents (road traffic accidents) are checked. In the course of performing the procedure, body parts and machine elements are checked for violation of symmetry, alignment and parallelism to each other. The following elements are examined with special attention: car diagonals, pillars, roof (diagnosed by the mutual arrangement of parallel doorways), symmetry, parallelism and correspondence of the front and rear windows of the vehicle.

The nominal dimensions between body parts are as follows.

  1. The distance between the front struts is 889 mm, between the rear ones - 819 mm with a tolerance of 2 mm.
  2. The diagonal dimensions between the front doors are 1273 mm, between the rear doors - 983 mm. Tolerance 2 mm.
  3. Window openings should reach 1375 mm - frontal and 1322 mm - rear view, respectively. Tolerance 4 mm.
  4. The diagonal dimensions of the bonnet are 1594 mm with a tolerance of 3 mm.
  5. The trunk lid diagonal must correspond to 1446 millimeters. The boundary discrepancy should be within 4 mm.

The vehicle body has the following dimensions (mm).

Car type - sedan. The car has four doors and five passenger seats. On the basis of this device, design modifications were also made. At the same time, the dimensions of the body, the materials of the attachment and finishing components, bumpers, and sidelights were radically changed.

For export, cars of the "pickup" and "tourist" type were designed and assembled. A tent was built into the back of the pickup.

Dependence of running characteristics on dimensions and weight

The classic method for improving the traction and dynamic characteristics of a vehicle is a well-distributed mass of both the vehicle itself and the baggage it carries. High-speed tests have shown that rear-wheel drive cars (which is the VAZ 2106), when accelerating, shift part of the weight from the center of the car and the front axle to the rear. The latter leads to a greater load on the rear side of the chassis, which is an auxiliary effect when driving. This is due to an increase in the contact patch and an increase in the adhesion coefficient of the tire to the road surface.

Standard dimensions and weight of the vehicle allow you to carry up to 150 kilograms of luggage or any other cargo. Weight up to 400 kilograms does not in any way affect the dynamic performance of the car. Reaching a maximum speed of 152 km / h is possible with a full load of luggage, driver and passengers. With the previous parameters, the speed mark of 100 km / h is reached in 17.2 seconds. With luggage weighing up to 150 kilograms, the amount of gasoline consumed per 100 kilometers at a speed of 90 km / h is ten liters and one hundred grams.

But no matter how much you reduce the weight of the vehicle, it will not be possible to increase the power. Reducing the weight of the VAZ 2106 car and modernizing its body components will help to increase dynamic performance. This can be achieved without changing the structure of the body, power or traction units in the following ways.

  1. Do not drive a car with a full tank of fuel, do not add fluid to the washer fluid reservoir. The weight of a full fuel tank is eighty-odd kilograms, and the windshield washer tank weighs up to ten kilograms.
  2. Forged wheels lead to a loss of 10-20 extra pounds.
  3. Modernization of the suspension, replacement of steel levers with aluminum ones, the dimensions of which are suitable, will reduce the weight by a couple of kilograms.
  4. How much does a muffler replacement take? About 25-30 kilograms.
  5. The modernization of non-bearing streamlined parts of the car body will help to improve the aerodynamic properties of the car, provided that the dimensions of the car remain unchanged.

The above methods for lightening the vehicle are not unique or unique. How many are there? Yes, a lot. However, the fact that a VAZ 2106 car weighs less affects not so much the speed indicators, but rather the braking characteristics, handling, etc.

It is worth remembering that serious, unskilled, without appropriate equipment, interference with the design of the car leads not so much to the improvement of the car as to the deterioration of the quality indicators of the vehicle, a decrease in the operating time of the machine, as well as to the emergence of a threat to the health, life of the driver, passengers and other road users. ...

The VAZ 2106 engine is used in small cars. It has been produced by the Volga Automobile Plant since 1976.

The VAZ 2106 engine cools the system in a closed container using a specially designed liquid. It is located at the very top of the camshaft.

This engine is considered a four-stroke, has a carburetor system and an in-line engine. Liquid for rapid cooling of the tank inside the motor has forced circulation.

The engine has a combined lubrication system. That is, this process takes place under a certain pressure and in the form of spraying.
These engines are subject to overhaul and additional tuning. When the structure completely fails, you need to ask how much a new engine for a VAZ 2106 costs and replace it.

What cars is installed onVAZ 2106, 2103, 2121, 21053, 2107, VAZ 21074

The motor is installed on cars: VAZ 2106, 2121, 21053, and 21074.

From the technical characteristics it can be seen that the presented motor design has been significantly improved and modified by engineers.

Distinctive features of the VAZ 2106 engine

The VAZ 2106 engine is a fairly successful revision of the previous version of the engine, during the creation of which modern technologies were used.

The manufacturers set themselves the task of improving the finished part by any means:

  1. The power was increased with the help of the total effective volume of the motor. Particular attention has been paid to improving the cylinder.
  2. Such improvements influenced the appearance of the cylinder block 2106-1002011. Apart from the diameter, the presented motor design no longer has any distinguishing features.
  3. During the manufacturing process, the experts give the individual cylinder its own class. Today there are about five items that differ by one millimeter. They are assigned the following symbols - A, B, C, D and E. You can see the conditional class of the motor at the bottom of the base.
  4. The main head of the motor block with the designation 21011-1005011-10 was left unchanged. Manufacturers had to use new gaskets to change the overall bore.
  5. Absolutely all standard and generally accepted pistons have many similar characteristics to each other. The presented engine is equipped with pistons from the 21011 engine, where the nominal diameter is 79 millimeters.
  6. The new motor model has cylindrical holes, and the volumes have been improved several times. During operation in each separate area, absolutely all pistons will heat up gradually and evenly. This is how it was possible to compensate for possible thermal deformations. Also, manufacturers have placed high-quality steel thermostatic plates in the piston bosses.

How to increase the power of the VAZ 2106 engine and reduce as much as possible all kinds of dynamic loads on the piston part of the engine? It is necessary to pay attention to the presence of a hole that is intended only for the piston pins.

Maintenance of the engine vaz 2106

To identify all possible problems in the car, it is necessary to perform a thorough diagnosis of the entire structure. The foreman and the specialist will be able to set the parameters of work in each separate mechanism of the whole system.

The complexity of the repair work is determined based on the general condition of the motor and the existing defects. Detailed force load studies must be performed to make accurate estimates. Also, special attention is paid to all system components.

Dismantling a VAZ 2106 engine requires an extremely professional approach. More experienced drivers will be able to purchase a special book in the form of a manual, which is sold at any car store.

To disassemble and assemble the VAZ 2016 engine, you need to have knowledge and experience, as well as have a full set of tools.

Popular engine breakdowns

  1. Untimely oil change or the use of a lower quality leads to the fact that after a run of 6 thousand km, the cylinder diameters can increase by about 0.15 mm.
  2. Increased wear on the camshaft
  3. vaz 2106. The most popular solution to the problem is to adjust the valves. Another reason may be detonation, this is due to low-octane fuel, carbon deposits in the combustion chamber and an incorrect ignition setting. The problem is solved by appropriately eliminating these defects. If the situation has not improved, then the knocking may also be due to improper operation of the piston pins or connecting rod bearings, in this case it is recommended to contact a service station.
  4. If the knocking comes from the bottom of the motor and at the same time there is a drop in oil pressure, this means a breakdown of the main bearings. In this case, it is necessary to turn off the engine and use a tug to send the car to the service station.
  5. If the knock is like a squeak, it is necessary to check the damper and the timing chain tensioner, if it rattles with a knock - the pump bearing.
  6. If suddenly your engine stalls on the move, first of all check the power supply or ignition system.
  7. If it stalls at idle and with all this idle speed is adjusted normally, try adjusting the choke.
  8. Why is the motor troit? One of the reasons: incorrectly adjusted valves, or they simply burned out, the cylinder head gasket failed (in addition, this will be indicated by jumps in the temperature of the coolant and smoke from the exhaust system). Also, the reasons include low-octane gasoline and an incorrectly adjusted carburetor.
  9. Motor vibration. The first reason is pillow wear. Others - imbalance of the crankshaft and propeller shaft, different pistons. We carry out diagnostics at the service station and fix the problem there.

Features of overhaul of a car engine VAZ 2106

Before carrying out a major overhaul, it is necessary to carry out dismantling work. To carry out this stage of the overhaul, special locksmith and measuring tools are used.

The assembly of the VAZ 2106 engine must be carried out by qualified specialists. The order of performing preliminary work:

  1. Unscrewing the fasteners located on the frame.
  2. Loosening the hose clamp of the gasoline pump, as well as dismantling the product.
  3. Pulling out the spacer plates near the petrol pump.
  4. Disconnecting wires from each spark plug.
  5. The pressure plate is taken out.
  6. Dismantling work in the distributor.
  7. Unscrewing the fasteners on the generator.

To dismantle the cylinder head cover and flywheel, you must have experience in repair work or seek qualified assistance from a specialist at a service station.

Assembling a VAZ 2106 engine requires certain skills and a little work experience. Sometimes it is almost impossible to independently determine in which part of the motor there is a knock in the VAZ 2106 engine. Disassembling the fingers requires a special approach and careful diagnosis.

Tuning

Tuning the 2106 engine is possible because it is a classic engine.

Thanks to this opportunity, you can pierce channels, polish the intake manifolds, select the carburetor, camshaft, split gears, modify the intake, bore cylinder blocks, choose the best options for the piston system, crankshaft, and connecting rod.

It is best to entrust such work as tuning the VAZ 2106 engine to qualified specialists, because this is a serious revision of the engine.

Many motorists want to make their own car more powerful, so they resort to this procedure. To perform tuning of the VAZ 2106 engine, it is necessary to replace specific factory-made parts with better ones. This includes a valve, connecting rod, or pistons.

In the process of finalizing the car, you can increase the volume in the VAZ 2106 engine. During boost, it is necessary to take into account the compression and compression ratio of the engine.

Experts must necessarily assess the current state of the motor and measure the compression. Only after a positive verdict can the volume in the VAZ 2106 engines be increased.

DIY tuning in the garage

When a person has decided to do the tuning with his own hands, then you need:

  1. Be sure to first check the wiring, which is made of silicone. In almost all cases, it requires urgent replacement. Experts recommend never to skimp on wiring and use only high quality shielded wires.
  2. Before installation, make sure that the battery and generator have sufficient energy and power.
  3. To increase engine power, you need to replace the factory generator and recycle the ignition system.
  4. You can tune the VAZ 2106 engine at home, but before that you need to look at the lessons and read the corresponding manuals. Not everyone will be able to properly assemble the engine and take into account all the subtleties.

Which oil to choose and how to replace it correctly

There is a wide and varied selection of synthetic and mineral oils. They differ in that the latter is capable of flushing all unnecessary and unnecessary deposits from the motor.

But in cars of this brand, spare parts are made of nitrile rubber, which can dissolve in high-quality synthetic oil. To completely prevent this process, it is necessary to replace all rubber parts with similar acrylic parts. They will work with any synthetic oil.

After all the component parts have been replaced, you can switch to a synthetic analogue of the oil.

The oil change in the VAZ 2106 engine is carried out independently or at a service station, where the craftsmen will simply drain the old mineral oil and fill in the new one; or a specially designed detergent for washing (in the case of heavily soiled parts).

In the latter case, the 2106 engine will be run for ten minutes so that the filled fluid can flush out all residual deposits from the use of obsolete mineral oil.

Important:

  • This process is necessary to ensure that the new synthetic oil does not mix with the particles of the used mineral oil.
  • Otherwise, you may encounter blockage of the oil channels. It is necessary to have certain knowledge to change the oil in VAZ 2106 engines. Otherwise, such intervention will damage the motor.
  • If the vehicle has been in operation for a sufficiently long time, then combustion deposits form on the liners and gaskets. The holes in the oil seals and head gaskets may be clogged.
  • Particular attention should be paid to the general condition of all internal parts, in particular to check the oil seals and gaskets.
  • When excessive pressures are observed within the system when the supply tube is clogged, oil leakage can be expected.
  • Therefore, to change the oil, you need to buy its high-quality brand, which has been tested for more than a dozen years.

What cars can the 2106 engine be installed on

Many owners are interested in this question: "What engine can be put on a VAZ 2106?"

At service stations, all customers will receive the necessary recommendations and advice from qualified technicians. Also, experts will tell you what kind of engine you can put on a VAZ 2106.
