Many owners of domestic cars are concerned about the issue of protecting the engine of their car. And all because the plant does not provide for the installation of anything significant.
No, there seems to be protection there. But it is a plastic splash guard. The maximum that it is capable of is protection from minor contacts with the road surface on potholes. Basically, it protects the pan from water and dirt.
Therefore, updating the protection is a mandatory measure, without which there is a high probability that your engine or other hidden components will soon be damaged. And repairs can cost a lot of money. Don't forget the quality of roads most drivers have to deal with.
crankcase protection
ARMOR FOR “TEN”
On cars of the “tenth” family, a mudguard is installed under the engine - a thin (0.7 mm) tin that is unable to protect the engine crankcases and gearboxes from mechanical damage. Its main purpose is to block the path of dirt into the engine compartment and optimize the aerodynamics of the car.
| Such a “shield” will suit only the owner who carefully operates the car in simple conditions. But if you drive onto a bumpy country road, you can pay dearly for not protecting the power unit in time with something more solid. |
What types of protections does trade offer? We toured several metropolitan auto stores and markets. Almost everywhere, sellers know and, accordingly, recommend only one, the most common type of protection - “Tolyatti”. But we discovered two more options.
Let's look at the advantages and disadvantages of all three.
| I - “Tolyatti” defense | II – product of the Samara Metallurgical Company. In addition to the aluminum protection itself, the kit includes two more brackets with mounting screws; |
| III – protection made in St. Petersburg LLC “Metalloproduktsiya”. |
Anyone who has seen how aluminum parts turn into dust over two winters will ask: “Will the protection withstand the second winter in “salty” regions?”
We decided to carry out the simplest tests. Over two days off, a saline solution and battery sulfuric acid were poured onto the surface of Type II protection. On Monday they wiped it with a rag - there were no signs of damage, just barely noticeable stains. But will it be like this after the Moscow or St. Petersburg winter? And in a year or two? Long-term testing will be needed to find out. We will try to carry them out and we will report the results. And the “pieces of iron” (protections I and II) will rust as usual, like any “tin can”, although the quality of the paint from St. Petersburg is higher.
The products also have other disadvantages. Plastic shields are attached to the standard engine splash guard, covering the side of the engine compartment. If you remove the mudguard and install protection, then the shields should be secured to it. However, none of the defenses show this. The lower edges of the shields are loose - this is not great. However, protections I and II can be installed without removing the mudguard. The fastening of the shields will remain the same. But such a layer cake has disadvantages: the airflow of the power unit from below may worsen, dirt and moisture will accumulate between the protection and the mudguard, and stones will get stuck. And there is no need for excess weight.
As the work progressed, we finally solved these problems, and, it seems, successfully. More on this below, but for now let’s start “trying on the armor.”
| Using a 10mm wrench, unscrew the five nuts on the front fastening of the mudguard. | Using two 19mm wrenches, unscrew the nuts on the bolts securing the arms to the car body. |
| We put the protection eyes on the bolts and select suitable washers: they are not included in the kit, but are needed for reliable fastening. |
Tighten the five front fasteners...
| ...and protection I is installed. | Protection II will first have to be assembled by screwing in the lugs (using a Phillips screwdriver and a 13mm wrench). |
| Its installation is similar to option I. |
This is where a tempting idea arose: cut out the central piece of the standard mudguard, leaving only the side parts that protect the engine compartment from dirt and hold the lower edges of the plastic shields.
To do this, remove the standard mudguard.
| Using a “10” wrench, unscrew two screws securing the plastic shields... | ...and one bolt each securing the mudguard to the side members. |
| The front nuts are already unscrewed - and we remove the protection. | Using metal scissors (or a grinder), we cut off the sidewalls. |
| It should look something like this. (Greater precision is not needed here.) | We mount the resulting sidewalls on the car... |
| ...and again set up protection - I or II. |

Description
VAZ oil pan protection - 2110 is designed for installation on VAZ cars of the “tenth” family: 2110, 2111, 2112 and their modifications.
In the manufacture of engine carriage pan protection for the VAZ-2110, metal was used, which helps reduce the protection stretch coefficient by 15% compared to analogues. This allows it to withstand more powerful impacts and protect the engine more effectively. It was also possible to reduce the thickness of the VAZ-2110 protection from 2.5 to 2 millimeters, which, in turn, reduced the weight of the part from 11.5 to 9 kilograms.
Titanium protection offered on the domestic spare parts market is lighter, but has a higher stretch coefficient and, accordingly, does not provide the maximum guarantee of maintaining the integrity of the engine and gearbox.
To protect against counterfeiting, the assembly is marked with a yellow label indicating the drawing part number and the manufacturer's address.
Compatibility:
VAZ-2110 VAZ-2111 VAZ-2112 (8 valves) VAZ-21102 VAZ-21103 VAZ-21113 VAZ-21114 VAZ-21112 (16 valves)

Why are impacts to the bottom dangerous?
Damaging the crankcase for a VAZ 2110 is not a difficult matter. For most owners of this model, it is more a matter of time or simple luck.
In this case, the engine can be seriously damaged due to imperfections in the design of the engine suspension. Essentially, the power unit hangs as you do.
- The engine oil pan is too low to the ground.
- When moving, the motor moves slightly, but moves on the mounting brackets. This is especially true for situations with sudden braking.
- Even a small stone hitting a pan at speed can cause serious damage. Then the repair will cost much more than installing protection.
In order to prevent unnecessary movement of the engine, experts recommend installing an additional fixing bracket. It holds the motor better, but still does not provide protection from impacts.

Possible problems
There are several situations when the crankcase hits the road surface. Their consequences can be very different.
Therefore, let's look at the most common situations and determine what you, as the driver and owner of the car, should do.
A dent has formed, but the breakdown is not visible
There is a high probability that as a result of such damage the breather, that is, the oil receiver, has broken.
You should not rejoice prematurely if no traces of oil leaks are found after the impact.
Installation
We install the engine protection and all previously removed parts on the car in reverse order.
Attaching the engine protection to the car.
Hello, today we will tell you how to remove and replace the engine protection on a VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112. When you change the oil in the engine, gearbox, or you have severely bent this protection, or perform any other operation from below the car, you will need to remove the engine protection.
Many owners of domestic cars are concerned about the issue of protecting the engine of their car. And all because the plant does not provide for the installation of anything significant.
No, there seems to be protection there. But it is a plastic splash guard. The maximum that it is capable of is protection from minor contacts with the road surface on potholes. Basically, it protects the pan from water and dirt.
Therefore, updating the protection is a mandatory measure, without which there is a high probability that your engine or other hidden components will soon be damaged. And repairs can cost a lot of money. Don't forget the quality of roads most drivers have to deal with.
Choice of protection
To ensure proper protection for your own engine on a VAZ 2110, you must first decide which element will be installed on the bottom of the car.
Today, manufacturers offer many options. Let’s identify the most popular solutions in the case of the domestic “ten” and discuss their features. This will help you make the final decision specifically for your situation.
Type of protection
Peculiarities
Aluminum alloy guard
Lightweight, quite reliable and durable. No special mounting brackets are required for installation. Typically, the available fasteners are excellent for fixing
Steel protection with powder paint
Such elements are durable and have good corrosion resistance. However, they are characterized by a significant drawback - the metal is too thin, so do not expect reliable protection
Protection of KAMAZ production
This is the thickest protection option, where metal is used with a thickness of about 4 millimeters. They are distinguished by reliability and heavy weight. Due to the mass, a serious drawback arises - the fasteners can simply break out with all the consequences. Therefore, for installation it is imperative to use special high-strength brackets
Be sure to choose steel that is at least 2 millimeters thick. At the same time, the presence of stamped stiffeners is also strongly recommended.
When purchasing protection, be sure to pay attention to the presence of special technological holes through which oil is drained from the crankcase and airflow is provided to the power unit. Fasteners only in full compliance with the holes provided on the VAZ 2110.
What and why to protect
Experienced owners of the popular VAZ 2110 model note that the duration and safety of vehicle operation largely depend on the effectiveness of the protection systems used. The car crankcase is no exception. Two components are responsible for its safety: the outer protection of the pallet and the ventilation system.
Such attention to this element is not accidental, because the oil pan contains engine oil, and in the event of depressurization, the supply of lubricant to the piston group parts will be disrupted, and this is “death” for the engine. That is, purely theoretically, it is possible to ignore the protection and crankcase ventilation system, but the consequences can be very disastrous.
It is much more practical to remember the recommendations of specialists on the safe operation of vehicle systems and mechanisms. As for crankcase ventilation, it ensures the removal of gases and maintains normal pressure in the engine lubrication system. If there is no high-quality crankcase ventilation, the risk of oil squeezing out through various seals increases.
This system requires certain care and maintenance, so it is very important to carry out all maintenance operations in a timely and efficient manner. Some craftsmen modify the crankcase ventilation system by installing an additional oil trap, but this is a purely voluntary matter.
Replacement
The first thing you need to decide before replacing the protection is whether to keep the factory mudguard or not.
Dismantling works
Some believe that it is better to leave it, since this will provide double protection. Others are of the opinion that such layers of protection do not provide additional protective measures, but only collect dirt and accumulate snow and ice in the winter. The choice is yours.
But just in case, we will tell you how to correctly and quickly remove the factory mudguard from the pan of your car:
- The best option for working conditions is a lift. But if it is not there, you can use an overpass, or an ordinary pit in your own garage;
- Five self-locking nuts are used to secure the front of the factory mudguard. To dismantle them, you will need a regular 10 mm wrench;
- The protection is attached to the mudguards using four self-tapping screws. To remove them, a key of 8 millimeters is useful;
- There are two more mounting bolts at the rear. Here again we pick up a 10 mm key;
- After dismantling all the fasteners, all that remains is to pull the mudguard out of the engagement into which it fits with the mudguards.
Final assembly
That's it, the mudguard has been dismantled, so you can safely proceed directly to installing the newly purchased, new full-fledged protection.
- A pit, overpass or lift is suitable for work. Someone here already has what.
- Place the guard against the surface of the engine sump to ensure it fits into the existing holes.
- Screw the front mudguards to the protection.
- Next, self-tapping screws are attached to the side member brackets.
- The next step is to attach the protection to the mudguards.
- On the front bumper, all that remains is to tighten the five nuts that will finally hold the new metal plate in place.
Working under the bottom
Expert advice. If you want to make driving your own car more comfortable and enjoyable, consider installing a powertrain mounting bracket. It is mounted regardless of what type of protection you have chosen for your VAZ 2110.

3. Using an 8 mm socket wrench, unscrew the four self-tapping screws (2) securing the engine protection to the mudguards of the engine compartment.
4. Using a 10 mm socket wrench, unscrew the two bolts (3) of the rear protection fastening.
5. We disengage the engine protection from the mudguards and remove it from the car.
Removing the mudguard
If you decide to remove the mudguard before installing the “full” crankcase protection on a VAZ injector, doing it yourself is absolutely simple, just:
- It is best to carry out the work on a lift, but it is also possible on an overpass or pit;
- It is attached to the front on the heel of the nuts (self-locking). They are unscrewed with a 10 key;
- The mudguard is attached to the mudguards with 4 self-tapping screws (8 key);
- and at the back - unscrew 2 bolts with a 10mm wrench;
- After unscrewing, all that remains is to remove the mudguard from its engagement with the shields.
Regardless of the protection you choose, you can also install the engine mounting bracket (if you see the need for it). This will make driving more comfortable.
