How is the VAZ 2110 pump replaced with my own hands?

From time to time, owners of VAZ vehicles of the tenth family are faced with the problem of the failure of the coolant pump (pump). Most often, this is caused by natural wear, but in some cases this part is less than the time specified by the manufacturer. But, anyway, this problem needs to be solved, and today we will consider how the pump of the VAZ 2110 is replaced with our own hands.

We take out the pump and the gasket

First you need to drain the vehicle coolant. When this is done, it is necessary to remove the timing belt cover and remove the belt. Difficulties with this you should not arise. Next, unscrew the 2 mounting bolts of the rear cover of the timing belt.

Then the replacement of the pump of the 2110th VAZ is accompanied by the unscrewing of 3 bolts, on which the coolant pump is fixed to the engine. On the same details holds and the rear cover of the gas distribution mechanism. After that, you can safely remove the pump and its gasket.

Installing a new element in the car

The coolant pump is installed in the same way as in the reverse order. In this case, the gasket also changes to a new one. However, several nuances should be noted during the installation. Since replacing the pump VAZ 2110 and other models of the tenth family requires us to stretch the timing belt, we need to know how to do it correctly. Why is it so important?

But the weakened belt does not give a good result.

When is it necessary to replace the pump VAZ 2110? Main features of the malfunction

A clear symptom of the failure of this mechanism is the play of its drive pulley. In addition, the faulty pump can give characteristic sounds (rumbling) - this signals the worn bearings. In such a situation, it is possible that the belt of the gas distribution mechanism can be "eaten up", which can be carried out by a tension roller.

To check up a condition and serviceability of a pump it is very simple - it is enough to twist its pulley by hand from side to side. If there is backlash, then this part needs to be replaced. Also, the apparent leakage or droplets of coolant in the lower part of the device can indicate wear.

How much does this device serve on VAZ cars?

Replacing the pump (we note, qualitatively manufactured) requires a car every hundred thousand kilometers of mileage. But here in many respects the resource depends on the conscientiousness of the manufacturer - it is not uncommon for car enthusiasts to change the coolant pump after 10 thousand kilometers. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the quality of products manufactured by a particular company.

How to distinguish a quality pump from substandard store shelves?

There are several simple selection criteria, following which, the risk of acquiring a counterfeit can be reduced to zero. So, what do we pay attention to? First, it is a packing box that should not be damaged. Secondly, a gasket is always attached to each coolant pump (as it changes with the pump), as well as a warranty card with the production date and all necessary seals. Thirdly, from the purchase of low-quality goods you will save a holographic sticker. The price for pumps is very different, but it never falls below 500-550 rubles.

So, we found out how to replace the pump VAZ 2110 and how to distinguish a quality part when buying from a fake.
