Replacement of exhaust pipe gasket for VAZ 2114 8 valves

2. Disconnect the catalytic converter from the exhaust pipe (see above, “Catalytic converter - replacement”).

3. 13 mm

Unscrew the two nuts securing the clamping bar and remove it from the bracket studs.

4. 13 mm

unscrew the two bolts securing the bracket to the cylinder block.

6. Using a slotted screwdriver, bend the edges of the locking plates of the nuts securing the exhaust pipe to the exhaust manifold.

13 mm socket wrench

Using an extension, unscrew the four nuts securing the exhaust pipe to the exhaust manifold.

9. Remove the gasket from the studs.

The main sign indicating possible problems with the gasket of the VAZ 2114 pants is a changed sound (bass) from the exhaust pipe when the engine is running. When an element wears out, you will immediately hear and identify disturbances in the operation of the exhaust system. This will increase the noise level and exhaust sound. However, it is worth understanding that such signs may indicate failure of other components of the exhaust system (for example, the resonator). To accurately determine the possible causes, conduct a thorough diagnosis.

Fault diagnosis

To determine operational problems, you should start the car engine. It is best to carry out the activities together, so that one person sits in the driver’s seat and, at the command of the second, increases the operating speed of the engine. The second person should be located in the inspection hole or under the overpass exactly under the bottom of the car. When the speed increases, you need to carefully inspect the entire exhaust system line, record the source of increased noise and possible leakage of exhaust gases. If you have decided to replace the problem unit, read below for instructions on how to change pants on a VAZ 2114.

Should high-voltage wires be replaced and when?

No matter how well the armored wires are made, they also have a limited service life. According to current regulations, they must be replaced after every 30,000 km traveled. In practice, many motorists ignore this rule, continuing to travel with wires that have already outlived their useful life.

Such inattention can cause a whole host of problems, including:

poor ignition;
overclocking problems;
engine tripping;
inability to start the car.

All these troubles are caused by one single factor - an increase in the electrical resistance of the core of high-voltage wires, as a result of which it becomes “more difficult” for the impulse from the coil to reach its destination.

You can check whether you can still drive with the old wires or not - at home.

To do this you need:

Turn off the ignition.
Remove one of the armored wires.
Measure its resistance using a megohmmeter or multimeter in the appropriate mode.
If the resistance turns out to be equal to or close to the figure indicated on the wire insulation, then it is in good condition, but if it turns out to be greater, then the wire should be replaced.
Repeat this operation on the remaining three wires.

It should be remembered that if only one of the wires is faulty, then all four should still be replaced.

Also, do not forget about the cleanliness of the contacts of high-voltage wires - they can also cause ignition problems. If oxides are noticeable on the metal tip, they should be cleaned with fine sandpaper or a cloth moistened with kerosene. By following these simple rules for caring for armored wires and replacing them, you can almost completely avoid troubles associated with the ignition system.

Features of the 2111 (1.5i) engine power system

Location of elements of the 2111 (1.5i) engine power supply system in the engine compartment:

1 - receiver; 2 — vacuum supply hose to the fuel pressure regulator; 3 — throttle assembly; 4 - fuel rail; 5 — fuel pressure regulator; 6 — air supply hose to the throttle valve; 7 - adsorber; 8 — air filter; 9, 10 and 11 — hoses of the crankcase ventilation system; 12 — throttle valve drive cable; 13 — diagnostic fitting

How to notice a node malfunction

It is not difficult to determine that it is time to change parts of the exhaust system on a VAZ-2115 with an 8-valve engine.
Even a novice car enthusiast can cope with this, since the main signs are the appearance of a strong smell of exhaust gases in the cabin and an increased noise level. Most often, faults are hidden in the additional or main muffler, as well as in the gaskets between the connections, which can burn out over time. The classification of the most frequently occurring faults is as follows:

mechanical damage to the muffler;
burnout of gaskets;
corrugation burnout;
loosening of connections at joints;
cracks in the system pipes.

Problems can be spotted by visual inspection. Experienced specialists recommend removing gas exhaust units for these purposes. This way you can examine them from all sides and notice the slightest damage. After you conduct a visual inspection of the system, you need to buy spare parts and begin repairs. It's easy to do it yourself.

If there are no external problems, you can try replacing the internal resonator. This repair method will only help those who know how to handle welding equipment.

Small burns and holes can be covered with sealant. Just pay attention: it must easily withstand temperatures up to 1000 degrees. Before applying the composition, it is necessary to thoroughly clean and degrease the surfaces.

Design and purpose of the exhaust gas system

The gas exhaust system of the VAZ 2114 consists of various functional parts. Folding into one solid chain, it contributes to the normal operation of the car. The system regulates the release of harmful chemicals concentrated in exhaust gases into the surrounding atmosphere. Schematically, this system looks like this, as shown in Fig. 1. The exhaust system of the car model in question includes the following main functional components.

Exhaust manifold VAZ 2114. Serves to combine gas flows emanating from each cylinder into one common pipe. To withstand increased dynamic loads, the collector is equipped with the most rigid and durable fastening.
Catalyst. This component of the system significantly reduces the level of toxicity of exhaust gases. To do this, highly toxic emissions are converted into less toxic gas impurities using a chemical reaction.
Reception pipe. Designed to connect the VAZ 2114 exhaust manifold and the catalyst.
Resonator. By means of several “acoustic mirrors” built into the body, it reduces the level of noise that occurs during strong exhaust.
Silencers. Even more than the resonator, they enhance the noise absorption of the entire exhaust system of the VAZ 2114.
Corrugation. Thanks to its elastic structure, it suppresses vibration transmitted from the engine to the exhaust system.

Muffler replacement

Using the example of replacing this component, we will show that it is not difficult to repair the exhaust system and dismantle its components. To work, you will need to install the car in the garage above a pit or drive it onto an overpass. Disassembling this node is not so difficult:

disconnect the main and additional muffler;
bend the hooks of the hanging straps;
remove the brackets;
remove the main muffler, which is mounted on the cushions.

The exhaust system of the VAZ 2115 car is a complete analogue of the exhaust system of the VAZ 2114 car (Repair of the VAZ 2114 exhaust system). The main elements of this system are: a downpipe, a catalytic converter, an additional muffler and a main muffler.

Like the VAZ 2114, the exhaust system of the VAZ 2115 is equipped with an oxygen sensor, which is installed in the exhaust pipe of the exhaust system. With its help, automatic adjustment of the composition of the fuel-air mixture supplied to the engine cylinders is ensured.

To minimize the influence of vibrations on the car body, the main and additional mufflers are suspended due to rubber suspension cushions.

Silencer - purpose, device, operation

An important element of the exhaust system is the muffler; operating a car without it is impossible. As a rule, the muffler is located at the rear of the vehicle and, in conjunction with the exhaust system, serves to remove harmful gases from the engine, bypassing the vehicle interior.

Car mufflers are made from stainless, aluminized and regular black steel. Stainless steel “silencers” are practically not available for sale due to their high cost and long service life (their service life is 10–15 years). Aluminized mufflers are installed on VAZ 2114/2115. They are common in the domestic and European markets (service life 3–7 years). Regular black steel mufflers are cheap substitutes and last only a few months, so are rarely used.

Replacing the main muffler on a VAZ 2115 car

To complete this work we will need two “13” keys and a metal brush. We drive the car onto an overpass or inspection hole. Be sure to wait some time until the system elements have completely cooled down.

Using a metal brush, thoroughly clean the mounting clamp, with which the inlet pipe of the main muffler is connected to the outlet pipe of the additional one. Then we treat the bolts holding the clamp together with a substance that corrodes rust. For example, VD-40 can be used as such a product.

Now you can unscrew the bolts: with one key we hold the nut from turning, and with the second we “influence” the bolt itself. It should be noted that in case of severe sticking and corrosion, it may not be possible to unscrew the bolts. In such a situation, they can be cut using a grinder. Such dismantling must be carried out with extreme caution so as not to damage the flanges of the exhaust pipe of the additional muffler.

After the clamp is removed and the muffler pipes are separated, slightly lift the main muffler and remove it first from the rear and then from the front rubber hangers.

Installation of a new muffler is carried out in the reverse order of removal.

Reasons for part failure

The muffler is affected by several different factors that can lead to failure, these are:

Atmospheric precipitation, dirt. Precipitation means the occurrence of rain and snow. A mass that periodically falls on a hot pipe causes temperature changes, destroying the strength of the metal. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to protect the muffler in any way; moisture will in any case affect the metal. A smart solution would be to avoid driving through deep puddles and drive slowly on contaminated sections of the road. If the muffler and pipe are dirty, it is necessary to clean it with water (you can use a pressure jet from a hose). After cleaning, it is recommended to start the engine so that any water that has entered the muffler evaporates.
Condensate. When the unit is idle for a long time, condensation forms in the muffler, causing a corrosive process. This leads to inevitable destruction of the internal parts of the muffler. This happens extremely rarely, but before the trip it is recommended to increase the operating speed by pressing the accelerator several times. The flow of exhaust gases removes moisture from the silencer.
Chemical influence. As a result of the release of exhaust gas, a lot of toxic chemical particles settle on the walls of the muffler, destroying the metal, and allowing road reagents to get into the muffler.
Physical influence. Hitting stones and blows from the muffler when driving on roads also lead to a lot of damage.

Replacing an additional muffler

As practice shows, the additional muffler fails (“burns out”) much less often than the main one. Nevertheless, this happens, and therefore we consider it necessary to describe the process of replacing it. To complete this work we will need two keys for “13” and two keys for “17”.

First of all, unscrew the bolts securing the resonator to the catalytic converter. We pull out the bolts and disconnect the pipes.

Then we need to disconnect the additional jammer from the main one. To do this, unscrew the two bolts of the tightening clamp using two “13” keys. Remove the clamp and disconnect the pipes. Next, lifting the resonator, remove it from the rubber cushion and pull it out from under the car. If manually removing the muffler from the rubber clamps is problematic, pry them off with a screwdriver.

Removing and installing the catalyst

Removing and installing a catalytic converter on a VAZ 2115 is a relatively simple task. The procedure itself is carried out in several stages:

1. Using keys “17”, unscrew the fastening of the catalyst to the exhaust pipe of the exhaust manifold. We take out the bolts and spring washers;

2. Place a suitable stand under the catalyst. The fact is that the catalyst on the VAZ 2115 car is not fixed with the help of any rubber hangers, and therefore, in order for it not to fall on your head, after unscrewing the fastening bolts, it must be secured somehow. This can be done either by installing a stand under it, or by temporarily securing it with wire;

3. Now unscrew the catalyst from the inlet pipe of the additional muffler and carefully remove it.

We install the new catalyst in the reverse order.

Exhaust system malfunctions and their elimination

Due to increased pressure and very high temperatures due to intense fuel combustion, the muffler quite often fails. The level of performance of individual elements and the entire exhaust gas system of the VAZ 2114 is significantly affected by the following unfavorable technological factors:

rapid heating to very high temperatures and possible overheating of the exhaust system;
frequent sharp fluctuations in temperature - from heating to rapid cooling;
permanent vibration during engine operation;
frequent impacts and mechanical damage to the VAZ muffler;
frequent pollution;
scratches and chips caused by small hard particles of the road surface;
development of internal and external corrosion;
lack of means that effectively protect the metal surfaces of the VAZ 2114 exhaust system.

All of these factors, to one degree or another, affect the safety and performance of the exhaust unit. If the integrity is broken in any place, a gas flow immediately rushes into the resulting fracture or fistula. Due to its speed and pressure, it quickly expands the emergency hole. And then the malfunction makes itself felt - the system begins to loudly “growl” and clap, exhaust gases come out at the wrong point, and the muffler knocks. In such conditions, it becomes almost impossible to operate the car.

It should be borne in mind that in addition to loud and sharp bangs, defects in the exhaust system of the VAZ 2114 can also affect the operating mode of the engine itself. Therefore, in some cases it will be necessary to carry out repairs of system elements, thanks to which you can temporarily do without completely replacing the entire assembly.

Diagnosis of breakdowns, which precedes restoration operations, is facilitated by the fact that the occurrence of defects is usually accompanied by an unpleasant strong grinding and roaring sound under the car bottom. The owner of the car remains to carefully examine the entire chain and determine the location and nature of the malfunction. Most often, breakdowns occur in the following components.

Lambda probe. It is an electronic sensor that analyzes the composition of emitted gases in order to ensure optimal combustion of automobile fuel. As a rule, after 100 thousand kilometers of the car, the metal analyzers included in the sensor lose their working properties. Usually in this case, the exhausted lambda probe is not repaired, but replaced with a new one.

Corrugation. Its elastic hose, taking on engine vibration, stretches over time due to such mechanical vibrations, which negatively affects the mitigation of shaking. If the old corrugation fails, simply replace it with a new one.
Resonator. This element of the VAZ 2114 exhaust system can periodically burn out under the influence of high temperatures of fuel combustion. Most often this is the result of using a product made of low-quality thin stainless steel. The best way to fix the problem is to replace the burnt element with a new one. However, as a temporary measure, it is also possible to weld the burnout area with a special electrode.
Connecting gaskets. A sign of their failure is the appearance of strong vibration in the exhaust system area when the engine is running. To eliminate loud rattling, most often it is enough to simply replace the gaskets.

Tuning the exhaust system of VAZ 2115

Direct flow installation

In this case, everything depends on the financial capabilities, preferences and wishes of the car owner. If we talk about the most common option, it looks like this:

1. First of all, the exhaust manifold is replaced with a tuned “spider”;

3. Instead of the standard main muffler, a modernized one is installed - specially designed for the construction of direct-flow exhaust systems.

If you believe the statements of car owners, this kind of improvement allows you to increase the car’s power by about 7-10 hp.

Installing the "dragon language"

This type of tuning is usually chosen by those who, first of all, care about appearance rather than driving performance. In fact, the installation of the so-called “dragon tongue” does not bring anything useful other than spectacular effects. The essence of this modification is that the release of exhaust gases from the main muffler is accompanied by small fiery flashes and flames.

To implement this idea, you will need to purchase a special kit consisting of a special spark plug and an electronic control unit. You will also need electrical wires and a switch button.

The switch button is necessary to temporarily turn off several spark plugs, which will thereby lead to a higher saturation of the exhaust gases with gasoline vapors. In addition, this button will be used to briefly start the electronic unit, which will supply voltage to the spark plug, which in turn will ignite the exhaust gases.

An important point: you should remember that such tuning, if installed incorrectly, can lead to malfunctions in the vehicle's electrical equipment and disrupt the proper operation of the exhaust system. That is why, unless you have the appropriate skills and experience, it is best to have such a system installed by a qualified mechanic.

Briefly, the installation process is as follows:

1. The entire electrical system of the car is disconnected from the power source (the negative terminal of the battery is disconnected);

2. Power supply of the electronic unit is connected. In this case, the positive wire of the unit is connected either through a button or to the ignition switch. In the latter case, the flame will be released only when the ignition is turned on;

3. A system switch is installed. The installation location can be anywhere - the main thing is that the button is always at hand;

The candle is connected to the system and tested for functionality. An important point: when connecting the spark plug, it is very important that the high-voltage wire does not touch the elements of the exhaust system. Otherwise, its insulation may melt, which may result in a short circuit that will render the electronic control unit unusable.

The exhaust system of the VAZ-2114 is popularly called simply a “muffler,” which is not entirely true. People forget or don’t know, but the complex that makes up the exhaust system includes not only a muffler, but also other devices. The main purpose of the exhaust system is to remove exhaust gas outside the vehicle's dimensions, preventing it from entering the passenger compartment. It also suppresses the sound vibrations that the engine makes during operation.

Interesting!
Since the introduction of environmental standards, regulation and reduction of exhaust gas toxicity have been added to the functions of the exhaust system.

Features of the VAZ-2114 exhaust system

In all VAZ models, the exhaust system is almost identical. Differences can only be observed in the later versions of the system, which are equipped with a more complex catalytic converter design.

The muffler system of the VAZ-2114 with an injection engine includes:
an exhaust manifold. It is attached to the cylinder head through a gasket, so it is the first to take on thermal and dynamic load;

How to repair a “glushak” with your own hands

The muffler on the “fourteenth” and “fifteenth” is considered one of the most vulnerable points of the car. The fact is that due to exposure to high temperatures, the metal quickly burns out, that is, the tightness of the system is broken. Therefore, the part must be changed as soon as there is a suspicion that it is not working.

Reasons for failure

Most often, mufflers “burn out” - that is, due to hot exhaust, the metal inside the housing begins to thin out, which ultimately leads to the appearance of holes. However, this is not the only reason why the silencer may fail:

using a homemade device - handicraft products do not differ in quality and long service life;
mechanical shocks from uneven roads - dents and deformations of the pipe also lead to loss of tightness;
Rust and corrosion sooner or later affects even the highest quality original mufflers.

In general, all of the above factors influence service life to some extent. The car owner can easily identify all of the above faults - just drive the VAZ into the inspection hole and visually examine the muffler. In addition, when deformations, burnouts and corrosion reach their “peak”, the part will begin to make characteristic sounds when moving - gurgling, sharp pops, knocking.

Why is the muffler knocking?

This part on the VAZ 2114/2115 can make knocking noises only in two cases:

it hits the body;
When moving, it touches the gas tank housing.

In any case, it is necessary to immediately take measures to eliminate this malfunction. Most often, the problem lies in severe wear of the rubber suspensions. It is enough to change them and the muffler will again return to its normal position under the bottom of the car.

Pendants are inexpensive, so you can buy new products without spending any money.

In some cases, the silencer begins to knock when its elements have been installed incorrectly - for example, after replacing the resonator or exhaust pipe. In this case, you will need to double-check that all fasteners and gaskets are installed correctly.

Citizens! It's simple! I had a knock and I was cured in five minutes! The pipes are connected with a clamp, and inside there is a spherical ring. But the connection is not movable. By changing the angle between the pipes at this connection, we change the center of gravity of the entire exhaust structure. You can also change the slope of the pipe arc, thereby moving it away from the gas tank. Experiment! Repair is a scam!!! They will loosen the clamp, change the degree and charge you 800. Tough!

What to do if the plug is clogged

During vehicle operation, dirt, soot, fuel impurities and other sediments will inevitably accumulate in the exhaust system pipes. Gradually, they will settle on the walls of the muffler and clog its working space.

The driver can notice this only by the behavior of his car:

At first, it will be difficult to gain speed when overtaking.
Then, even with uniform movement, the car will have difficulty maintaining the set speed limit.
Black exhaust from the pipe, loss of engine dynamics.

Cleaning the muffler is a tedious and time-consuming procedure. In addition, if the pipes are clogged, then, most likely, after cleaning, other defects will be revealed - such as rust or burnouts. Therefore, it is more advisable to simply install a new one.

If the catalyst is clogged or the partitions in the muffler are destroyed and interfere with the exhaust, then after replacement it will certainly fly, but if nothing is clogged, then you won’t notice these 2 unfortunate horses at all.

Thermal insulation is completely burnt out

The car owner needs to carefully ensure that the resonator coating is always sealed. The barrel is covered with special thermal insulation materials, which sooner or later burn out during the operation of the machine. If you do not change the insulation in time, you will soon have to change the muffler itself.

To do this, the pipes are dismantled from under the car and separated in parts. A special heat-resistant cloth is glued to the surface, which can be purchased at any auto store. Such protection will ensure a longer service life and significantly reduce the noise of the motor.
