The role of pipes in the VAZ stove
The heating system in the car operates automatically, thanks to which the air enters the cabin at the required temperature with an error of about 2 degrees. To connect various elements to each other, where the working fluid is present, pipes are used. Experts recommend that VAZ 2110-2112 owners pay special attention to the pipes and monitor their condition.
Defects that are not corrected in time may subsequently affect the operation of the car engine. It is also important to monitor the condition of the clamps that are responsible for the tightness.
- The lower pipe serves as a supply of coolant to the radiator. Hot coolant flows here.
- The upper pipe plays a draining role; the cooled liquid leaves the heater radiator.
- Short couplings are required for the pump and thermostat.
If faulty pipes or coolant leaks are detected on a VAZ 2110-2112, professionals recommend immediately replacing the faulty elements.
"Folk" way
Folk craftsmen - these are brave and very desperate craftsmen - offer a much less labor-intensive method. The bottom line is that replacing the stove pipes (and the stove itself) is done without draining the coolant and without dismantling the instrument panel. The tools you will need are a set of screwdrivers, rags and a container (small) to drain the liquid from the pipes. In this case, replacing the heater radiator pipes is carried out according to the following scheme:
- Removing the terminals from the battery
- Close the heater tap
- We remove the right front seat (to make it easier to do the work)
- We unscrew the two screws securing the dashboard on the right side, and one screw located in the glove compartment, then, pulling the dashboard towards you, we place a wooden block
- Now there is a gap on the side of the passenger seat and you can get to the pipes and to the heater radiator itself
- Lay a rag on the floor of the cabin and prepare a container to collect the coolant
- Which will spill from the radiator and pipes
- We loosen the clamps of the pipes (photo above) and carefully, one by one, remove them from the radiator, replacing the container. 200 - 300 grams of coolant will drain into it
- Replace the pipes with new ones, and change the clamps, just in case.
- If necessary, unscrew the three bolts that secure the radiator to the stove and pull it down to the right
- We install the pipes and the new radiator in the reverse order.
Here are both methods, choose the one that suits you, and also watch a video on this topic.
Leak search
Finding out the reason for this state of affairs is not always easy. To do this, the driver will have to carefully examine the situation under the hood. Usually you can only notice a wet pan. In this case, it is worth checking the coolant level in the system. Most likely, there has clearly been a decline.
The cause and location of the leak is not easy to recognize. It is useful to “drive” the car at idle for some time so that the thermostat opens. And only when the optimal pressure is reached will the source of the leaks reveal itself. Most likely, one of the connections of the pipes is leaking, often it can be the pipes for supplying antifreeze to the heater radiator; if this is the case, we proceed to replacement.

In our climate, a car heater is an irreplaceable thing. It can sometimes come in handy even in summer))) Having driven through the winter without much hassle, the other day I discovered a wet spot under the car. You could even say puddle. It's always not pleasant when your car leaks.
Procedure for replacing heater pipes
Work should be carried out when the car engine has cooled down, as the coolant will need to be drained.
Preparing tools
Before you begin work, you need to prepare the necessary tools:
- screwdriver for plus;
- ratchet;
- extension;
- heads 13.8 and 7.
Dismantling faulty pipes
First you need to remove the air pipe that goes to the throttle valve (if it’s a carburetor, then the air filter).
Remove the windshield wiper blades. To do this, you need to unscrew the two 13 nuts and pull them up.
Remove the boot. Unscrew the five fastening screws, move the top part and pull it up.
Remove the frill. Unscrew the side fastenings of the frill, shown in step 2, and the four clamping screws, then simply lift it and put it aside.
Remove the stove casing. The stove casing consists of two parts. To begin, remove the left side of the casing - unscrew two screws and remove three clips, disconnect and remove through the left side. After this, you can begin to dismantle the right part of the casing - unscrew the four screws and the ground wire, disconnect the chip with the wires and snap off the two tin brackets on top, then remove it in the same way as the first part - through the left side.
Remove the damper. To remove the damper, you need to lower it in the car, this will be in a hot air stream, then unscrew the two fastening screws and remove it.
Drain the coolant. First you need to unscrew the filler plug, then open the tap on the radiator and unscrew the drain plug on the cylinder block.
Remove the stove pipes. First, unscrew the clamps securing them and pull them - if they don’t come off, try to turn them.
After dismantling the old pipes, you can begin installing new ones.
Installation of new pipes
Experts recommend changing the clamps when replacing pipes on a VAZ 2110-2112.
- New pipes are installed, which perform drainage and supply functions.
- The remaining parts and assemblies must be put into place in reverse order.
- After installing and filling the system with coolant, it is important to check the tightness of all connections - if leaks are noticeable, then it is worth tightening them.
The process of replacing the stove pipes on a VAZ 2110-2112 with an 8- and 16-valve engine is approximately the same. Therefore, this instruction is suitable for cars with a new and old type engine.
Replacing the pipe
I went to the store, bought a set of pipes (in reserve), clamps, and antifreeze to top up. I returned to the garage and began to disassemble. This was my first time replacing this pipe. I knew that it was going to the stove and I also knew that I would have to take a lot of disassembly, plus drain the antifreeze.
First things first. First, I unscrewed several screws and removed the left trim (aka sound insulation). Then I removed the air pipe, loosening two clamps, and also disconnecting the crankcase ventilation pipe.
Next, I proceeded to dismantle the front window trim and removed the wiper arms.
After all the operations performed, I finally saw where the damaged pipe ends. But it is blocked by the heater fan housing.
So we’ll remove it too. It is held on by three screws and two top latches. There were no problems with withdrawal. In one step I cleaned the fan of debris.
I didn’t take out the fan itself, I just moved it a little to the left. And now I had access to the clamp and pipe.
Tools and materials

- Antifreeze for topping up.
- New pipes.
- Screwdriver.
- Clamps.
Replacement process
To carry out the work, you will need to drain all the antifreeze from the system.
The red arrow indicates the direction where the stove pipes are located.
To get to the pipes, you need to remove the trim and the heater fan.
It is recommended to change all heating system pipes at once.
How to drain antifreeze
Now all that remains is to drain the antifreeze into a container. I used a 5L bottle and only drained from the block. See how to drain antifreeze here.
A piece of garden hose (about 1.5m) worked very well for draining.
That's all. After draining the coolant, I unscrewed the two clamps of the torn pipe and replaced it with a new one. That's where the pipe broke.
I didn’t encounter any particular difficulties in my work, even though I was doing it for the first time. As a result, I gained invaluable experience and money savings. The service would charge from 600 to 800 rubles. In addition, I wiped all the hidden cavities and removed debris from them. It's unlikely that a service station would do this to you.

Replacing the stove pipe of a VAZ 2110
As a rule, any car has a heater or, in other words, a stove. The role of such a device is important; the stove ensures the required temperature inside the cabin. With the help of an automated control system, it becomes possible to regulate the temperature with high accuracy. Of course, no one is immune from a breakdown of the stove on a VAZ 2110, so to reduce the risk of such a situation occurring, you need to check the outlet and inlet hoses more often. Replacing a hose on a VAZ 2110 stove is an important process. And in this article we will talk about how to replace the VAZ 2110 stove hose.
Hoses in the heater system of a VAZ 2110 car
Replacing a hose from a VAZ 2110 stove.
Each car has its own heating system, which most often uses liquid. In order to connect all the elements, you will need a variety of hoses. During the operation of the machine, close attention is paid to them. If the defect is not identified and corrected in time, or the hose on the stove is not replaced, problems may arise with the vehicle engine.
Note! Pay attention to both hoses and clamps, which ensure better sealing of the connection. A loose or improperly tightened clamp can cause an unplanned engine overhaul.
What you need to have on hand for repairs
- Lower hose for draining fluid from the radiator.
- Upper inlet hose.
- Short pieces for the water pump couplings, as well as the thermostat.
Replacing hoses for the heater on a VAZ 2110
Heated liquid is supplied to the radiator through the upper hose, and cooled liquid is removed from the radiator through the lower hose.
Note! If leaks are detected from the hoses, the damaged elements must be urgently replaced.
Cooling system pipes for VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112 (video)
Cooling system hoses VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112…
Hello dear readers of the blog RtiIvaz.ru. Today I want to continue the conversation about the auto radiator pipes of the cooling system of the VAZ Lada 2110 “ten”, Lada 2111 “eleventh” and 2112 Lada “twelfth”.
In the previous auto article, we looked at the radiator hoses of the cooling system of the VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099, 2113, 2114, 2115. We looked at the video and photos and found out what the sets of pipes of the “eight”, “nine”, “ninety-nine”, “thirteenth” are , the “fourteenth” and “fifteenth” Lada models differ from each other.
What is a radiator in a car:
A device for removing heat from the liquid that circulates in the engine cooling system.
We determined the “upper” supply and also found out which “lower” coolant outlet was a thick rubber hose. You have found out where which rubber tubes fit, today we will continue to look at the video of the Lada 2110, 2111, 2112 pipes.
The cooling system pipes are such a thing that they always seem to be in good condition, but they make themselves felt when you don’t expect them.
You've probably seen cars on the road more than once with their hoods open in a cloud of steam.
So the coolant floats, falling on the burning engine parts (exhaust manifold), escaping in a fountain through a burst rubber pipe.
Therefore, guys, be vigilant if you haven’t changed rubber hoses for a long time. Don’t tempt fate—guessing whether you’ll be lucky or not will be unlucky—but replace all the rubber hoses of your car in advance.
Work procedure
Replacing hoses on a VAZ 2110 stove
In the process of performing any work, a certain sequence must be observed; only if you take into account the instructions, recommendations and advice, the actions will be correct, high-quality and effective. So:
- First you need to disconnect the negative wire from the battery.
- Next, drain the coolant.
Note! Before draining the coolant, the engine must be completely cool, since at high temperatures the drained liquid will also be hot.
- Carefully remove the lining on the windshield - the frame trim and the sound insulation lining.
- The heating fan is removed.
Replacing hoses from the stove on a VAZ 2110
- The vacuum hose clamp is detached from the heater body.
- Using a screwdriver, remove three spring brackets designed to secure the front housing of the heating air collector.
- The fastening screws of the front housing are unscrewed.
- Now you can easily remove this housing directly.
- It is necessary to loosen the clamps and also disconnect the hoses from the fittings.
Installation of new hoses
Replacing heater hoses on a VAZ 2110
When replacing heater hoses on VAZ 2110 cars, it is also recommended to change the clamps that serve to connect all elements. It is advisable to carry out the work according to the algorithm below:
- Replacement is being made. The hoses on the stove, through which coolant is supplied and discharged from the stove radiator, are replaced with new ones.
- Other elements with nodes are secured in the reverse order.
- Coolant is poured into the cooling system and the tightness of the hoses and connections is assessed. If necessary, they need to be tightened.
Changing a tee or hose for draining fluid
Note! In some situations, coolant leaks at the connection points of the tee to the heater radiator, expansion tank and to the engine cooling system pump.
Replacing heater hoses on a VAZ 2110
In such cases, you can only get by by tightening the hose with new clamps.
Note! Tightening the clamps must be done with extreme caution so as not to damage the rubber of the hoses. This may result in replacement of the outlet or inlet element.
The hose can be repaired without removing it from the machine
VAZ 2110 hoses from the stove
It is recommended to carry out work in the following sequence:
- first the damaged end of the hose;
- the same piece of the new element is placed on a metal pipe, the length of which is about 60 mm and the diameter is 20 mm. Due to the low cost of this part, you can significantly save money and time on repairs;
- to reduce the tension of the hose, it needs to be increased by about 8 mm;
- if antifreeze leaks (see Replacing antifreeze - details of the process) from the joints of the hoses and the heating radiator, you will need to dismantle the vacuum booster.
Classic way
It is worth noting right away that it is quite labor-intensive and will take quite a lot of time. You will need a lot of patience and care (as mentioned above). The most difficult part is removing the instrument panel and installing it, as it is much more difficult to get the instrument panel into place correctly.
