How to remove the instrument panel of a VAZ 2112 europanel

Removing the instrument panel on VAZ 2110, 2111 and 2112 cars is not an easy task. But at the same time, it is possible to carry out this repair yourself, if you have the necessary tools at hand, as well as clear instructions. Regarding the action plan, there are not many detailed guides on the Internet for removing and installing the instrument panel, and all this is due to the fact that the procedure has a number of difficulties and subtleties that not everyone can remember when writing such an article.

However, I will try to make material that will at least 90% help give the overall picture and the main points that should be taken into account when removing the panel on a VAZ 2110-2112. To perform the repair you will need the following tool:

1. Phillips screwdriver, both short and long.
2. The head is 10 mm, preferably deep.
3. Ratchet handle or crank.
4. Wire cutters or sharp knife.
5. Flashlight if necessary.

Description and location of indicators on the panel

After 2006, a new dashboard was installed on VAZ 2112 cars. For reasons that are not entirely clear, any description of it includes the prefix "euro", perhaps due to its modernity and quality.

But to use it, you need to know the symbols, which are not always easy to understand even from the instructions. You can often only guess what a particular indicator or light indicates. To make this task easier, take a look at the instrument below and its explanation.

Description of the panel

See:

1. Pointer arrow. Designed to indicate the approximate coolant temperature. The data is obtained from a sensor that is installed in the gap between the cylinder head and the thermostat. This allows you to obtain accurate data. Sections have a range of 20 degrees, the lower level is 50, and the upper level. 130.
2. Tachometer. Its purpose is known to any driver. show engine speed. Sections of 5 units are digitized every 10 units. To get the real value, add a couple of numbers to the figure. Starting from 55, the engine enters the red zone in revolutions.
3. Left turn signal indicator.
4. A similar indicator for the right turn signal.
5. Speedometer. It is an induction type and receives speed data from a sensor on the gearbox. Unfortunately, it’s definitely not very high; the error can reach 5 km/h or even more.
6. Fuel level sensor. The sensor is located directly in the tank.
7. The warning light indicates a dangerously low fuel level.
8. Low beam indicator.
9. Lamp for monitoring the amount of brake fluid.
10. High beam indicator.
11. Lever for adjusting the clock.
12. Total (odometer) and daily mileage.
13. Alarm.
14. Failure of electronic systems, resulting in critical engine failure.
15. Clock and thermometer.
16. Low battery charging voltage.
17. Lamp for signaling the activation of the hand brake.
18. Critical oil pressure level.
19. Fuel mixture enrichment indicator.

You don't have everything. You all boast that this car is an awesome car. Solaris is a bucket compared to it. They'll just cut something off and screw it on there. No, ours haven’t learned how to do it.

What does Vesta and Solaris have to do with it?! o_O My car is from a completely different generation)

The question is amateurish - why is the vibration glued in pieces, as if there wasn’t enough for pasting? Well, I mean, not the whole area is covered, but some places

There is no need to cover 100% of the area with vibration insulation, especially plastic) 100% of the area needs to be covered with sound insulation...

Excellent On occasion I will sell a panel from 2110 completely assembled 2k

I don’t even want to do this, it’s a lot of wasted time and money, but it still won’t become a Lexus, TAZ is TAZ

No one is forcing you...you have been given information, but how to manage it is your business =) Which car is not a TAZ for you?

oh he can’t let you go)))

Didn't understand the comment?)))

everything is noise, noise is noise)) soon there will be not a torpedo, but TediBir from paralon)))

This post is not about soundproofing)

Great! Where did you get that sponge?

Thank you) This is soundproofing from StP)))

(defects in the VAZ assembly) - in fact, they are a common continuous defect, you rule out one, the other comes out.

It rather depends more on who is doing it

I also did this with my ex. When I removed the panel, half of the fasteners were missing, and the remaining part was not screwed in. I coated the upper and lower parts with sealant along the border of the air ducts. And I threw out the distributor that stands behind the radio, vertically. Because for him alone it was necessary to use at least one and a half tubes of sealant. Instead, I glued four corrugated pipes, two in front, two for the rear passengers. And everything else is the same as yours. The income from the rework is significant.

I also threw out the air duct that blows into my feet...because of its stupid design. I’ll write about him in the next blog)

Did you remove the top cover from the panel? All the creaking comes from the joints of these two parts.

Igor, of course I filmed it... it’s in the BZ) The next BZ according to plan is just about your adapter-spacer for the stove

What can I say...it's a medal! Good job.

Algorithm of actions

First you need to remove the old panel. This is done as on other car models produced by VAZ.

See:

During installation, it is necessary to replace the ignition switch with a decimal or Kalinovsky one, depending on how many terminals on the pad are blocked. You can keep the old one and rearrange the wires, but the new one will work and look better.

The dashboard wiring needs to be replaced. Also, connect the additional two wire sizes at w4/13 and w3/13 on the mounting block. This applies to older units with 11 relay spaces.

Depending on whether it is an injector or a carburetor, the connection has its own nuances. If you bought a whole factory panel, it should be accompanied by instructions. Briefly, you can notice that the speed sensor is not installed on the injector, take this into account when installing.

A car wiring diagram can be of great help. If it doesn't exist, you can find it on the Internet. There is a certain difference between VAZ 21124, 2111 and other car options, so find your own.

If the instrument panel does not work after turning it on, check whether the wiring is correct. this is usually an error.

How to remove the Europanel on a VAZ 2112 + video

The average owner of a VAZ 2112 rarely faces the need to remove the instrument panel of his car.
The main reason why you have to dismantle the Europanel is body repair, electrical repair or repair of devices installed directly behind the instrument panel. Since it can be very difficult or even impossible to get to such devices without removing the instrument panel, in such cases you have to remove the entire europanel. Removing the instrument panel is also required when eliminating squeaks and other noises that occur while driving a car, or when installing additional sound insulation for the interior. In addition, even with careful handling of the car, over time the instrument panel may lose its appearance and require replacement with a new one.

In this article we will try to cover the main stages of removing the europanel from a VAZ 2112 car. The “Euro” instrument panel can be found on cars of the VAZ 2110, VAZ 2111 and VAZ 2112 line. Therefore, everything that will be said below about dismantling the VAZ 2112 europanel is also true for the rest models. In addition, it should be noted that the fastenings of the Europanel are identical to the fastenings of a conventional instrument panel, so this step-by-step instructions can also be used when dismantling a conventional panel.

So, when removing the Europanel from a VAZ 2112 car, the sequence of actions should be as follows:

For safety reasons, it is necessary to turn off the power to the vehicle's on-board network. To do this, you need to disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.

The steering wheel needs to be removed. To do this, use a flat screwdriver to pry up and remove the decorative trim with the inscription “LADA” from the steering wheel. Next, using a Phillips screwdriver (PH2), unscrew the two screws that are located in the recesses under the removed cover. After this, remove the horn switch cover.

Now you need to fix the steering wheel. This can be done in two ways: turn the steering wheel all the way to the left or remove the key from the ignition switch and turn the steering wheel in any direction until it clicks when it locks. After this, you should unscrew the central nut holding the steering wheel. To do this, you will need a socket wrench with a 24mm head (for convenience, it is advisable to use a socket wrench with a ratchet).

For safety reasons, there is no need to immediately remove the central nut - it should be left on the last 3-4 turns of the thread. After this, set the steering wheel to the middle position (the front wheels should be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the car). In order not to waste time finding the correct position of the steering wheel when installing it, before removing the steering wheel, you can apply coaxial marks on the steering wheel itself and the upper plastic cover of the steering column.

Next, you need to use medium-force blows on the rear of the steering wheel from the left - right and from above - from below to knock it off the splines of the steering shaft. After this, you can completely unscrew the central nut and remove the steering wheel.

The process of removing the steering wheel from VAZ 2110-2112 cars is shown in detail in the following video:

Now you need to remove the side panels on the left and right sides of the center console. Each shield is secured at the rear with two screws, which must be removed using a Phillips screwdriver (PH2).

Next, use a Phillips screwdriver (PH2) to unscrew the screws securing the glove compartment, located underneath the glove compartment at the front wall of the car interior. Having removed the glove compartment from its place, it is necessary to disconnect the wires going to the glove compartment illumination lamp. After this, the glove compartment can be completely removed.

The next step is to use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the screws securing the instrument panel. One of the screws is located in the glove compartment niche, the rest are along the edges at the bottom of the instrument panel.

Now you need to use an 8-mm open-end wrench and a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the screws securing the instrument panel in the area of ​​the center console.

After this, remove the protective grilles of the air ducts located along the edges of the instrument panel. To do this, just pry them off with a flat-head screwdriver.

Next, use a socket wrench to unscrew the nuts located under the removed air duct grilles.

Remove the instrument panel from the studs by lifting it up and pulling it towards you. After this, you need to disconnect all the connectors on the wiring harnesses going to the instrument panel, having previously marked them for subsequent assembly. Now the instrument panel can be completely removed.

The process of removing the instrument panel from a VAZ 2112 is shown in the following video:

We hope our instructions will be useful for you!

Ideas for customization

If you have the VAZ 2112 setting available for the panel, it is not too wide. But you can install additional lighting fixtures to see all the readings at night in the dark. It just looks classy, ​​especially if you use a blue setting for the lighting.

This panel has plenty of space for buttons that are not needed on an older machine. But you can set the heated side mirrors and display it on these buttons.

Annotation on installing a Europanel on a VAZ 2110

Many people simply don’t like the old device panel, while others want a Euro panel on the VAZ 2110 since the old one has already lost its appearance, so to speak, it’s worn out. In any case, having decided to make a change, you need to solve a couple more questions: where to get a suitable panel and how will the installation take place: on your own, or will this task be entrusted to specialists?

Panel trim for VAZ 2110, old standard

Let’s immediately decide: there is nothing difficult in installing a Europanel with your own hands, so you can completely dare to do it. In addition, you yourself will control all the stages, perhaps you will want to immediately carry out others with this work - to eliminate noise and squeaks while driving, windproofing, etc.

Installation of an instrument panel from Priora on a VAZ 2110-2112

There is another method of modifying and tuning the instrument panel, which consists of replacing the dashboard from the Priora - VAZ 2170. Of course, the appearance will be much more interesting than even the Europanel, but connection and installation require a lot of investments, both financial and physical. The main problem with this modification is that the connectors for the under-panel wiring of the Priora and the under-hood of the VAZ 2110, which of course need to be connected, are different, and the connectors simply do not fit together.

In this case, there are two ways:

1. Completely take all the wiring from the Priora, including the engine compartment harness, interior harness, power window control unit, comfort unit, etc.
2. Join completely two different types of wiring manually, cutting off the connectors and insulating almost every wire.

Everyone decides for themselves whether the game is worth the candle, namely whether the result obtained is worth the money and time that will be spent on all these improvements and alterations. Even if you take the price of the Europanel, you will have to pay up to 20,000 rubles for it. new or from 8000 for a used one, it’s already expensive. As for the panel from Priora, everything here will be even more expensive - the assembled panel alone can cost 25,000 rubles. new and from 10,000 rub. boo. at a car wrecker.

Installation without completely disassembling the panel

The panel, as many people know, consists of three parts, but the Europanel of the VAZ 2110 is, in fact, only the upper part of the dashboard. And if the goal is only to replace it, without any modifications or other tuning, then you can safely do a partial disassembly without removing all the equipment.

The dismantling process goes like this:

1. Remove the dashboard ;
2. Open the glove compartment and unscrew the three screws from the inside. It is quite difficult to unscrew the screw near the windshield, but still doable;
3. Next to the ECU, pull out 4 buttons and unscrew the screws from the inside;
4. We loosen the fastening of the backlight adjustment. You can unscrew it completely, as is more convenient;
5. Having opened the instrument fuse box, we also unscrew 2 screws from the inside;
6. There are still two self-tapping screws that hold the panel trim, but they cannot be unscrewed without complete disassembly. Therefore, either these screws are carefully broken out, or even cut out by lifting the overlay on the right, using a metal file. At the same time, the appearance of the future updated “face” of the interior will not be affected, since the Euro trim will cover these places;
7. Now you can safely remove the cover.

How to easily and quickly remove the dashboard on a VAZ 2110 with your own hands?

Without a doubt, the dashboard is the most noticeable interior detail in a car, because it is located right in front of the eyes of passengers and drivers. The need to remove the dashboard on a VAZ 2110 may arise for car owners for a variety of reasons.

So, by removing this part, you can get full access to all the electrical components of your vehicle, replace the burnt-out wiring with a new one, connect additional devices or lighting, install a Euro trim or sound insulation.

Options for replacing the standard VAZ 2110 panel:

If desired, you can cover the dashboard with various materials of your choice, thereby making the desired changes to the interior of the cabin.

Subtleties

I would like to say right away that removing and replacing a torpedo on a VAZ 2110 will require a lot of time and patience from you

In addition, all repair work must be carried out extremely carefully and carefully so as not to accidentally break the fastening, since the dashboard will not fit back as it should and will creak when driving

To work you will need the following tools:

• marker;
• self-adhesive labels;
• set of screwdrivers and wrenches.

Removal instructions

It is recommended to remove the VAZ 2110 torpedo in the following sequence:

• Interior details. Before starting work directly, it is necessary to prepare the interior, since disassembling the front panel of the VAZ 2110 is best done with room for maneuvers. Therefore, the first thing we do is remove the front seats and steering wheel of the car. It is advisable to carry out dismantling in exactly the same sequence as indicated above, since otherwise it will be extremely difficult to remove the driver’s seat. In order not to break anything, consider your strength when pulling the wheel out of the column splines; to do this, loosen the steering wheel nut a little, and then pull it towards you while loosening it from side to side;
• Transmission tunnel. After the salon is prepared and there is a place to work, we are faced with the next task - dismantling the floor tunnel in the salon. Simply unscrew the screws and push the top of the part being disassembled back. Then do the same with the bottom of the tunnel;
• Steering wheel and steering column. Unscrew the screws on the steering column casing of the VAZ 2110, and then remove the steering column switches. Mark all the wires and connectors released during disassembly with a marker or labels; this will later work to your advantage when, when assembling the torpedo, you end up with a large number of wires of different colors. It is recommended to use the marking especially for owners of cars that are already equipped with an audio system and alarm system;
• Glovebox. The next stage of work will be to dismantle the glove compartment, after which it is necessary to remove the relay and mounting block. Don’t forget to mark the wires as you work and take special care with the fragile speedometer and other dashboard elements that also require special treatment;
• Torpedo. And now we can move on to the immediate purpose of the repair - we have to remove the dashboard. To do this, it is necessary to unscrew the screws in the resulting void behind the glove compartment and unscrew the fastenings. After that, use a screwdriver to hook the air duct on the left side and remove it. Then all that remains is to unscrew the nut, holding the torpedo with your hand, the torpedo and pull it out from the studs, at the same time do not forget to mark the wires with a marker so as not to get confused.

The dashboard has been removed, we have disassembled everything that needed to be disassembled, all that remains is to carry out the repair work, for which the whole procedure was actually started.

Finally, I would like to advise - take the opportunity, do not be lazy and clean the ventilation ducts, sooner or later they will still become clogged and you will have to remove the dashboard again.

Installing a new cover

Installation of a new lining occurs after preliminary preparation:

• It is necessary to measure and trim off excess material;
• But it’s better not to cut off what seemed to be superfluous under the instrument panel, otherwise there will be a gap near the steering column, and you can make cuts to bend it a little if necessary;
• Near the side air ducts, trimming is also done during installation, measuring on site;
• We carry out fitting and adjust trimming;
• We apply anti-creak to avoid squeaking in future operation;
• We choose the method of installing the dashboard with a Euro trim: use new brackets included in the kit or drill them out from the old trim;
• All that remains is to install the instrument cluster you need and secure the Euro trim with self-tapping screws, which are then hidden under the plastic trim.

How to install the trim without disassembling the dashboard

Any dashboard on a VAZ 2110 consists of several parts, but the Euro panel is only a cover on the top of the dashboard. And just so as not to completely disassemble the instrument panel, you can replace only its upper part.

Replacement is carried out as follows:

1. Remove the instrument panel.
2. Open the glove compartment, unscrew several screws inside it.
3. Next, you need to pull out the ECU and unscrew the screws behind it.
4. Loosen the fuse panel.
5. Then you need to unscrew the screws that hold the panel on top. And after that you can remove the old trim.

With panel disassembly

The first stage is carried out according to the plan already described. Next, we proceed like this:

• We assemble the trim, installing our instrument cluster, air duct panels and those accessories included in the kit;
• At the base of the panel we carefully attach the wiring harness;
• We connect the wires from the Euro pad to this harness, tightening everything with mounting ties;
• We connect devices to the required buttons using connectors;
• We secure the cover with self-tapping screws.

This method, although it takes more time, provides high-quality sound insulation to eliminate all annoying squeaks.

We also recommend replacing light bulbs with high-quality analogues or LEDs. So, the updated panel will look even more solid.

Where can I get Europanel?

The fact is that europlates, as well as assembled europanels, have become in short supply, since their production was discontinued more than five years ago. Therefore, they mostly sell used ones in good condition; it is quite difficult to find a new one. If suddenly the offered product does not suit you, you can install the Priorovskaya by completely disassembling the old one.

How to Remove the Top Panel of a VAZ 2110

Europanel on VAZ 2110 instead of an old torpedo

A frequently asked question is where to buy and how to install a Euro panel or dashboard cover on a VAZ 2110 . This is not surprising, the ancient panel of dozens is already tired and the hunt is to somehow update the interior. In this article I will show you what is needed in order to change the old VAZ 2110 torpedo to the euro and many important issues that you will encounter when replacing the old torpedo.

First, let's define what it is to install a torpedo on a VAZ 2110. Essentially, only the panel , and the lower part of the panel remains the same. It turns out that the torpedo is collapsible and consists of 3 parts. We are talking about the very top trim, so installing it is not as difficult as replacing the entire dashboard of a car.

We install Europanel and make sound insulation on VAZ 2112, VAZ 2111, VAZ 2110

Now we will try to figure out how to install the European version of the panel on a domestic VAZ-2110 car. Before starting the installation process, you need to decide for yourself the need for noise insulation of the body of a domestic car. The thing is that these procedures are better and easier to perform simultaneously. We take the European panel and carefully examine it. What the overlay itself looks like and what the inserts for a variety of buttons and air passages look like. In addition, consider what the panel plugs, bracket, and also the button for heating the glass of the rear of the car look like.

We have at our disposal only the factory version of the domestic VAZ-2110 car, which is equipped with the same factory panel. First of all, do not forget about caring for your car. Before we begin the process of replacing the panel, we begin work related to noise insulation of your vehicle.

To do this, we will need about six sheets of BIMAST-DOMS, as well as about three to four sheets of splen. Of course, we are talking about material that is designed with a margin for malfunctions. In addition, it is worth purchasing thin foam rubber that can self-adhesive; five sheets in size will be quite enough. First, you need to remove the front seats of your car. As for the upper part of the genital tunnel, it must be removed using a screwdriver. After this, we remove the lower part of the tunnel.

After this, we begin to remove the steering casing and steering wheel, and to do this you need to unscrew three self-tapping screws and only four screws. After this, it is necessary to remove the switches under the steering system. Having completed all of the above, we carry out work that involves dismantling the unit, relay and glove compartment, after which we remove the headlight control and the instrument panel. And finally, having reached the fasteners of the factory panel, we unscrew them too. Now all that remains is to remove it from the car body, and in the process of disconnecting it is necessary to unscrew everything that connects the panel and the car’s instruments. Remember that the factory noise insulation system must also be removed, because now you will have a new one. The standard domestic panel trim must be removed and a universal instrument panel must be installed. Now you need to secure the instrument harnesses and seal the joints of the air holes. It is also worth remembering that additional functions will require additional buttons, which will find their application in the European version of the car panel, and of course, additional wires that need to be connected right now, since this will not be possible later.

After all of the above has been done, you can start wrapping in bitoplast and all its connectors, which are available on the euro panel. We also screw the Euro linings using self-tapping screws. After this, it is worth noting that the work associated with installing the new panel is completely completed. Now you can apply materials that will ensure complete noise insulation of your vehicle. After the special material has been applied to all the necessary places, work related to gluing SPLEN must be carried out. Remember that experts note the fact that SPLEN is a fairly convenient material, and the process of working with it will not take a lot of time and will not require much of your effort.

And so, having done the difficult work, the final part of our process has arrived. We install the panel in its place in your car. Remember that you will not need more than two days to complete the entire work, but of the entire period, the largest working part must be spent on making a new connection to the alarm system.

To change the torpedo trim, it is not necessary to remove it completely!

So let's get started, let's look at the panel overlays, which are divided into:

Euro-1, another name is Caprice and has the index 21104. The features of this lining are that it does not have a passenger shelf.

Euro-2, index 2110L, cover but already comes with a passenger shelf.

Euro-3, a cover without a shelf, but under the instrument panel of Kalina, Priora, and has a climate control module with 3 knobs and an emergency stop button.

There are also exclusive panel that make the VAZ 2110 similar to the Nissan Primera, where the instrument panel is in the center.

In addition to these Euro-overlays, there are overlays that are installed on top of them. For example, the overlay of the Chestnut panel.

It is not difficult to install the Kashtan overlay on the dashboard, so we will not dwell on this, but changing the old panel overlay to the Euro one is already more difficult.

The euro overlay for the panel consists of:

• On the masonry itself
• Inserts for buttons (small insert 2110L-2120031, large 2110L-2120032)
• Air ducts (2114-81080623)

How to remove the ponnel on a VAZ 2110

our group on VK.

• Device panel trim (2110L-5325124)
• Double button for turning on the headlights and low beam
• Key for turning on the rear fog lights (with fixation)
• Rear window heating switch (latching)
• Key pads 2 pcs.
• Plugs instead of keys 6 pcs.

• Wiring harness for connecting the dual side position switch and low beam headlights
• Block
• Device panel fastenings
• It may be necessary to purchase separately different keys for the VAZ-2114 and pads for them.

The cover gives the impression of a high quality product. It is softer than the old pad and, as the developers say, is more injury-proof. They also promise improved air flow to the side windows.

Now we are moving towards installation, and here we can distinguish 2 methods, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages:

Components

When purchasing, you will receive what is included in the kit, namely:

1. Europlate;
2. Inserts for switches (buttons) of devices;
3. Trim on the instrument panel;
4. Since your instrument combination may differ from those whose installation is structurally provided, there should also be six plugs; they can be inserted instead of buttons;
5. The buttons themselves and two pads for them: • Double – for low beam and dimensions; • To turn on the fog lights; • Heated rear window.
6. Air ducts;
7. Block and wiring harness designed to connect a double button for side lights and low beam;
8. Brackets securing the instrument panel.

In addition, if you are not entirely satisfied with this combination, and you need more buttons for other devices, then they, as well as the pads for them, can be purchased separately.

Installing the Euro trim without removing the dashboard

In this option, you need to have a drill and screws on hand.

Rely on the lining mounting diagram and start in order:

1. Remove the dashboard.
2. Open the glove compartment and unscrew the three screws from the inside (positions 1,2,3 in the diagram). Trying to unscrew the screw (pos. 9) from the inside near the windshield is difficult, but doable.
3. Remove the 4 keys (next to the control module) and unscrew the screws from the inside (pos. 4.5)
4. Unscrew or loosen the fastening by adjusting the backlight (pos.
5. Open the fuse module and unscrew 2 screws from the inside (pos. 6 and 7)
6. Now the panel overlay is held in place only by screws, positions 10 and 11. They cannot be unscrewed, so we break them out or lift the overlay by the right edge and cut them off with a file. (Note: the Euro trim will cover the entire top of the panel up to the windshield, so you don’t have to worry about the appearance when you cut or break the screws)
7. Remove the old dashboard trim.

Alternative torpedo

The alternative dashboard is softer than the standard “tens” dashboard, but the main advantage is the absence of unpleasant grinding and squeaking. Motorists decide to get rid of the standard one precisely because of the squeaking. For the VAZ 2110 car there are several types of panels that differ in design.

The panel is sold as a set:

• The panel itself, which is an alternative to standard plastic.
• Buttons, brackets and inserts for blowers and instrument panels.
• A set of wires and a block for a double switch.
• Buttons for low beam, heating, dimensions and fog lights.
• Plugs for buttons are installed in places where keys are not needed.

The experience of the owners of the “Ten” shows that proper removal and installation of the Europanel improves sound insulation, increases airflow and changes the appearance of the VAZ 2110 interior for the better.
