Dismantling car radiator is not an easy task. To complete it, you will need a set good tool, pit or car lift and knowledge of the instructions below.
Before starting work on removing the radiator, install the car on a pit or lift, make sure that the engine is cool and you can touch it with your hands. Then remove the plastic protection located under the engine. To do this, use a screwdriver or special key unscrew all the screws located around its perimeter and slide the panel to the side so that it does not interfere with you in the future. If you don’t have the opportunity to use a pit or a lift, jack up the front of the car on both sides to such a level that you can get unhindered access to the elements of the cooling system from below. The next step is to remove antifreeze from the system. First, unscrew the cap of the expansion tank - this must be done so that air flows freely and a vacuum does not form in the system that prevents the coolant from flowing out. Then, dropping under the car, unscrew drain plug located at the end of the radiator. If it is not there, disconnect any of the pipes attached to its lower part. Just loosen the clamp and carefully pull off the rubber hose. Take care of the container for collecting antifreeze in advance - it can be a canister or a plastic bucket. When all the liquid has been drained, disconnect the wires connected to the temperature sensor, then open the clamp that secures the hose to the expansion tank and disconnect it. If the hose does not give in, try gently twisting it on the fitting. As soon as it starts to spin, start pulling. Try to do all this with the utmost care so as not to damage the rubber, but if the hoses in your car are cracked, you can not stand on ceremony with them, as they will still have to be replaced. Remove carefully from engine compartment fan cover. After that, you will have access to the mount of the fan itself. Using a screwdriver, carefully unscrew this part, then disconnect the wires connected to its motor. Remove the engine relay box. If your vehicle is equipped automatic transmission transmission, disconnect the cooler pipes leading to it. Seal the holes that appear so as to prevent dust, sand or other dirt from entering them. After you get full access to the radiator, you can proceed to its direct removal. To do this, using a wrench, unscrew the retaining bolts located on top and gently pull the radiator up. If you did everything right, then the part should move freely and you can pull it out completely. Try to do this in such a way that antifreeze residues do not flow out of unplugged holes - this is a poisonous liquid that can ruin paintwork your vehicle in the event of a hit.When the radiator is in your hands, carefully inspect it for damage and leaks. If you have argon welding skills, you can try to fix them yourself, but if you are not able to do this, entrust the repair to a specialist.
VAZ 2114 is considered one of the most striking examples of success domestic auto industry. This model is a modified version of the VAZ 2109 and differs from it in the design of the front of the body, updated headlights and hood, grille design, as well as plastic moldings and spoilers. However, as it became known, the car is prone to radiator breakdowns, which can lead to overheating, and as a result, to engine failure.
Replacing the cooling radiator
It is worth noting that the radiator from 2114 is also suitable for other representatives model range VAZ. As you know, the developments of the VAZ company are universal, so it is not surprising that not only the parts of the cooling system, but also other spare parts from earlier and later models of this brand are ideal for 2114.
Being one of the main parts of the cooling system located in permanent job, the radiator may need to be replaced because it is clogged with debris or exposed to mechanical damage. In addition, the replacement of the coolant must be done in a timely manner, otherwise, it will corrode it from the inside, which will undoubtedly lead to breakdown.
How to remove the old one?
Before replacement is made, regardless of manufacturer vehicle, it is worth remembering that the process of dismantling the old and mounting the new radiator must be carried out on cold engine, and the VAZ 2114 is no exception. In addition, before replacing this spare part, it is necessary to disconnect the battery and drain the coolant by unscrewing the plug located at the bottom left.

How to fix a new
- Connect the fans to the new cooling system and tighten them with nuts.
- After that, carefully insert it into place, putting landing pads on it, connect the power plug to the fan.
- Then you need to fix the lower pipe to the thermostat, generously lubricated with sealant to eliminate the possibility of leakage, and also fix the upper and tighten the clamps.
- Next, you need to fix the expansion tank return clamp, attach the screen and fix the iron clamp.
- After that, install the air duct and air filter, also secured with a clamp.
Filling a new radiator
At the end, in expansion tank new radiator should be filled with "Tosol" or antifreeze. Basically, in new system cooling, approximately 5-8 liters of liquid are poured to cool the engine. After filling with antifreeze, the car must be started and left running for several minutes in order for the thermostat to open and the antifreeze to go into the engine cooling system. Replacing the radiator 2114, like any other VAZ model, should be carried out in a warm room or in the summer season.
How to replace the radiator on the VAZ-2114? And this radiator is also suitable for Lada 2108, 2109, 2199, 2113 and 2115 models.
Let's start with antifreeze, you need to drain it by unscrewing the drain plug on the lower left corner of the radiator ...
Radiator Lada 2108-2115
..., and then - unscrew the air filter (as we show below in the photo), which is mounted on two bolts, under the head at 13 - in this case. We release the filter from the air duct by loosening the clamp (under a curly screwdriver).
Loosen the top radiator nuts.
Radiator replacement...
After that, we loosen the clamp of the "return" of the expansion barrel
And let's move on to pipes. The photo below shows that they can be removed by loosening the clamps with a screwdriver or a 7 or 8 wrench.
How to unscrew the pipe from the thermostat
In the photo above, we see that the lower pipe is not just screwed to the thermostat, but is seated on a sealant, which eliminates the possibility of leakage. remove the top hose as well.
Remove the top radiator hose
Be sure to disconnect the fan power plug.
Now carefully pull out the radiator and make sure not to lose the landing pads. There are two of them bottom corners radiator.
Now you need to remove the fan from the radiator. To do this, unscrew four nuts by 10. You can see where they are located in the photos below.
Then, in the same way, install the fan to the new radiator and install the two pipes in their places. And in reverse order reinstall the radiator.
In the end, it remains only to pour antifreeze ( better antifreeze). It must be poured into the expansion tank. Antifreeze is poured into such a radiator about 8 liters. But the bay full radiator and expansion tank, start the car and let it run. As it warms up, the thermostat will open and the antifreeze in the expansion tank will go into the system. Then add slowly to the maximum mark on the expansion barrel.
What to do next
To replace the old VAZ-2110 radiator with a new device, repeat the above in reverse order, starting from the last paragraph. In order for the radiator to work well, it is also worth checking the condition of the rubber bushing on the top fastener. If the part is worn out, replace it with the one you just bought.
The next steps for installing a new product are as follows:
- fix the air ventilation device;
- tighten the cover well;
- determine the radiator to its original place in the VAZ-2110, put the lower fastener cushions on the pins;
- when the radiator is already in place, add antifreeze.
How to increase the life of the cooling radiator
No matter how good the radiator of the cooling system in the VAZ-2110 is, if it is not prevented from working, it will still fail, which will eventually turn into big problems for a car enthusiast, the engine and the stove that heats the interior of the car will stop working. To avoid this, experts recommend flushing the device on time. 1-2 scheduled procedures per year are enough to extend the operation of the system and engine.
What else should a novice car enthusiast remember? Pouring antifreeze for effective use iron horse- this is, of course, good, but without purification with the help of special detergents the new solution will soon turn black.
It is a well-known fact that repairing a radiator is not a thankful task. Even if you solder one damaged place, new damaged areas will appear in speed.
It will be cheaper for health to purchase a new one. For installation in a car service they will take 1.5-2.0 thousand rubles. In general, that kind of money is not lying on the road. Therefore, the installation can be done independently.
Change the radiator of the cooling system
Before starting work, make sure that the device is cooled down. Next, carefully disconnect the connecting hoses. Eyes must be protected by wearing goggles. After dismantling, drain the coolant from the radiator.
Attention! The liquid is poisonous! Do not leave coolant in free access!
A new radiator must be chosen exclusively for the model that is installed in your car. Otherwise, you will have to do something with the mount.
Installing a new device regular place extremely carefully so as not to bend the petals (plates). Having mechanically fixed the device itself, we connect hoses to it.
If some hoses are loose, this is a bad sign. This hose needs to be replaced. Those that are very tight can be lubricated with coolant to make work easier.
When everything is installed and connected, fill in the coolant.
In this case, the car must be installed in such a way that the front part is higher. This is necessary to remove air bubbles from the cooling system.
Upon completion of work, it is necessary to check the quality of the connections and the radiator itself in terms of tightness, i.e. no leakage. Warm up the engine. Check for leaks anywhere. If no leak is found, then the job was done perfectly.
We change the radiator of the heating system
Armed with the tools, we get to work in the following sequence of actions:
- dismantle the cover and unscrew the fastening screw;
- we release wires and hoses from clamps and clamps;
- disconnect the power terminals;
- dismantle the lining windshield;
- disconnect the coolant sensor terminals;
- disconnect the washer hose;
- dismantle windshield wipers;
- dismantle the supply hoses.
We install the new device in the reverse order. It is necessary to take into account the fact that the stoves of the old and new models have differences.
We fix the radiators of the new model stove (produced since 2003) in the following places:
- in the area of the exhaust manifold (fastened with two nuts);
- in the region of the lower end windshield(special mount);
- in the area of the filter (left corner - special single fastening).
Changing the air conditioner radiator
The air conditioning system may fail due to a breakdown of the radiator (violation of the tightness of the system and loss of freon). This radiator needs to be replaced. The algorithm for replacing the air conditioner radiator is as follows:
- dismantle the decorative cladding;
- dismantle the pressure sensor socket;
- disconnect and dismantle the impulse pipes suitable for the radiator;
- release the wires at the bottom of the radiator;
- unscrew the fixture of the device (usually four bolts);
- dismantle the device itself;
- install new device and strapping in reverse order.
It is better to fill with freon in a car service, unless of course you are not a dock in this matter.

The novelty will soon appear on the Chinese market. The initial version will cost 96,900 yuan (about 900,000 Russian rubles at the current exchange rate).
Onix Redline four-door sedan produced in China is considered an upgraded version Chevrolet models Cavalier. Both of these vehicles combine Delta chassis and drum brakes. There is also a semi-independent suspension.
The novelty is 4 meters 47 centimeters long and 1 meter 73 centimeters wide. The trunk capacity is designed for a minimum volume of 469 liters.
The car has a radiator grille with red tints, side mirrors and wheel disks 16" black. The interior, done in beige and black shades, has a truncated steering wheel and front seats with improved lateral support.
The power plant is represented by a liter gasoline turbo engine with a capacity of 125 Horse power. The transmission is a 6-speed automatic.
The created car is an amphibious vehicle with a 4x4 wheel formula, on this moment is in the stage of passing test tests, in order to test all available systems and mechanisms.
The main design features of the car "Burlak":
- Wheelbase, the length of which is 4025 mm;
- The presence of one central or transfer box, the ability to connect all-wheel drive;
- Location brake system on the front axle.
The all-terrain vehicle is 6.65 meters long, 2.25 meters wide and 3.2 meters high. Outside diameter wheels is 1.75 meters.
A variation of the car with 4 wheels has become a ton lighter than its three-axle counterpart and reduced by a meter in length. This all-terrain vehicle is characterized by increased maneuverability, which is of no small importance when moving through the taiga and forest-tundra zone. However, he managed to keep the main advantages that allow you to fully provide output and spaciousness.
The purpose of the machine is to move a small number of people and one ton of cargo. Its first presentation will be the Caliber 2019 automobile exhibition, which will be held in Yekaterinburg, and test trials are scheduled for May.
Sales ford cars show a significant decline.
According to the results of the first quarter, the fall was recorded at the level of 39% - to just over 7.7 thousand cars. This is happening against the backdrop of intentions to curtail the production of passenger cars.
In such a situation, a reduction in car display points is expected. There are 100 dealer centers in Russia today. A complete reduction is not planned, since the brand's fleet has a market share of 2.2%.
It is planned that about 30 objects will remain as operating centers. This is necessary to continue the sale of commercial vehicles of the brand, perform warranty operations and service maintenance of vehicles. IN Ford did not forget the departure of the concern from Russia General Motors in 2015, and will try to prevent large-scale compensation payments to car dealership owners.
It is not yet known about the fate of the enterprises for the production of Ford models. Known to continue sales Transit models, taking into account the fact that the plant in Yelabuga will become an independent business.
It is also known that the reduction of output in the country is only part of the company's plan. Decrease in sales and growth of losses is observed in Europe as a whole. So the reduction in presence will occur there as well.
In Germany, electric vehicles are seen as a universal means of combating climate change.
But these figures are not true. According to the results of the research, scientists at the IPO Institute in Munich came to this opinion. According to Professor Christoph Buchal, who conducted the study, electric vehicles produce much more harmful emissions into the atmosphere, if we take into account these indicators in the production of batteries.
