Replacement instructions

The belt must be replaced as follows:

1. Remove the faulty belt.
2. Using a “13” wrench, loosen the generator mounting bolt from below. You need to loosen it a little without unscrewing it completely.
3. Unscrew the upper support and remove the nut and bolt.
4. Be very careful. Rotate the generator until the upper flap is exactly behind the surface of the protrusion on the bracket, secure them in this position with ordinary wire.
5. We put the belt on the generator pulley (pictured 2) and over the drive pulley (pictured 1).
6. Engage fifth gear and push the car backwards. We need to turn the drive pulley to get the belt into place.
7. Remove the wire and carefully return the generator to its original position with a screwdriver.
8. We put the top bolt and nut in place, tighten it, then tighten the bottom one.

We put a new belt on the pulleys

This is how to replace an 8-valve engine belt in a car without air conditioning. Then you can start the engine and charge the generator to check: turn on the heating, high beams and other devices.

The 8-valve is installed only on the cheapest configurations: norm and standard. The Lux received a 16-valve power plant. Replacing the belt is not much different from other models with the same engine.

With him

Using the E-14 head, unscrew the two screws securing the support to the engine cylinder block bracket. Using the “17” head, we unscrew the two nuts and the bolt securing the support to the body spar (shown by arrows). Using the E-14 head, we unscrew the two screws securing the support to the engine cylinder block bracket. Using a 17mm socket, unscrew the two nuts and the bolt securing the support to the body side member (shown by arrows).

Car with air conditioning: the differences are not only in the presence of a tensioner

Owners of cars with air conditioning will need to stock up on WD-40 or similar lubricant, a 10" wrench, and also a balloon, since the right front wheel will need to be removed.

We do not change the procedure, otherwise the lubricant will not have time to act.

1. Moisten the bolts holding the pad and bracket.
2. We support the front part of the car on the right with a jack.
3. We remove the wheel.
4. Lowering the car, unscrew the tensioner pulley.

We work carefully because only a small engine overhang is needed.

Please note that to work you need to lower the car without the wheel.

An attempt to reduce the cost of low-cost bag configurations resulted in the absence of a tensioner on the alternator belt, which could result in the alternator belt being over-tightened and resulting in failure.

Problems with the generator are typical for Granta: whistling under load or in the rain, bearings break due to narrowing. If there is no tensioner, problems are inevitable. Let's look at how to replace the Grant generator belt.

Basic faults

Failures associated with the failure of the Granta generator lead to discharge or, conversely, overcharging of the battery and its boiling. In both cases, this will make further operation of the car impossible. If the belt is overtightened, problems with high bearing wear will soon arise. If the belt tension is insufficient, slipping will occur and the battery will receive too little charge.

Normally, a working generator produces 14.5 V; exceeding this value is most often due to a breakdown of the voltage regulator. Without urgent replacement of the element, constant recharging of the battery will lead to shedding of lead plates and battery malfunction. If the unit does not produce the required voltage, and it is below 13 V, then the problem may not only be with the regulator, but also with the fact that the brushes are worn out, the diode bridge or windings are damaged.

It happens that suspicious sounds occur during operation, in which case the nature of the noise is important. It’s not difficult to deal with this: just remove the wires from the generator. If the rotation of the pulley is accompanied by a howling or squealing noise, then the problem is in the bearings. If, after removing the wires, the noise disappears, then it is in the diode bridge, or a short circuit has occurred in the winding. In any case, repairs are inevitable, and sometimes only replacing the unit will help.

Typical faults and methods for their elimination:

How to replace the Grant alternator belt

The replacement process is not easy and depends on the vehicle’s equipment: there is a tensioner, air conditioning. In the latter case, you cannot do without lifting and disassembling the engine mount thanks to the clutch pulley of the air conditioning compressor.

For bags with air conditioning, the installation will require hanging the wheel and removing the combustion engine mount.

How to change a belt on a Grant 8 and 16 valve without air conditioning and tensioner

What is required for work:

• a knife if you just need to cut off an old part;
• wrench or ratchet with head 13;
• long and strong wire;
• flat screwdriver;
• partner - you can replace yourself, but it’s easier with an assistant.

Step 1. Dismantling

The vehicle is parked on a flat, neutral surface without a parking brake. The battery is disconnected.

If the old belt is not needed, cut it in an accessible place and remove it.

If the old one needs to be kept, let's do our best for step 3.

replacement required at length 8223 mm, six V. It is called 6РК 823. PHOTO: www.zr.ru

Step 2. Remove the generator mount

We approach the mounting of the generator with head 13:

1. straighten the bottom bolt 2-3 turns;
2. with it, completely unscrew the top bolt.

In this position, we begin the installation. PHOTO: www.zr.ru

Step 3. Raise the part

Move the generator up. The top support becomes higher than the bracket to which it is screwed.

We press the part to the engine. Secure with strong thread. For example, we hang a cylinder head on a bolt.

In this position, we begin the installation. PHOTO: www.zr.ru

Step 4. Install a new one

We pull a new one onto the pulleys.

Installation takes place in the position of the generator when pressed against the engine. PHOTO: www.zr.ru

We engage fifth gear, push the car back, pressing the belt on pulley 1 in the photo. This is where a helper comes in handy.

After wearing, we work in the reverse order:

• unplug the generator;
• tighten in working position;
• return the upper mounting bolt and tighten the lower one.

Replacing the alternator belt on a Grant with air conditioning

it's more difficult here. Step by step:

1. driving on an elevator or overpass;
2. remove the tensioner;
3. remove the right front wheel;
4. we support the internal combustion engine and disassemble the airbag;
5. Let's change the required part.

The whole problem is at points 5 (air conditioning compressor clutch) and 7 (right engine mount) - our belt passes through them (number 6). The rest: auxiliary devices with 1 command, 2/3 tensioners, 4 generators. PHOTO: www.zr.ru

What you need

• new marking tape 6РК 995;
• keys key 8, 19;
• socket wrenches 8, 10;
• Torx keys T20, T27;
• ratchet with extension and heads E14, 17.

Step 1. Tensioner

Car on an elevator or overpass.

Let's open the hood. Remove the terminals from the battery.

We find the tensioner, remove keys 19 and 8:

1. 19 install the nut with a screw;
2. 8 hold the lock nut;
3. straighten;
4. turn the lead screw clockwise to loosen the tension.

Remove the locknut and release the tension. PHOTO Taken from the site: www.zr.ru

Step 2. Get under the car

We will need keys 8, 10. Remove:

• central damper (numbers 1, 5, 7);
• right shield (number 2).

Step 3. Wheel

Remove the right front wheel. Using keys 8, Torx t20, t27, remove the wing trim according to the diagram.

To work with the wheel arch trim, you will need three different wrenches. After removal, we gain access to the engine mount. PHOTO: www.zr.ru

Step 4: Engine Mount

Prepare to remove the engine mount.

Using a ratchet or E14 head ratchet, remove the screws that secure the mount to the motor.

Use head 17 to unscrew the screws that secure the support to the body.

We remove the support. Make sure the weight of the engine is firmly against the crankcase support. PHOTO: www.zr.ru

Step 5. Dismantling and installation

We remove the belt from the pulleys and rollers and pull it out.

Installing the new one is done in reverse order.

Adjust the final tension by adjusting the tensioner.

DIY replacement instructions

A Lada Granta 8-valve car requires replacement of the alternator belt in the same way as a 16-valve car after identifying defects or according to the regulations. The procedure can be performed by a driver who does not have much experience in repair work. It is enough to have the necessary tools and basic knowledge of where the components that require replacement are located.

Tools and materials

Before replacing, you need to purchase a new alternator belt. In order not to make a mistake with your choice, you should look at the catalog number in the operating instructions. It should be 1118-1041020-07. The size should be 823 mm.

You should buy originals so as not to buy a fake or low-quality product. The packaging should be marked 6РК 823. You should not save money by buying a cheaper product. A low-quality belt will not last long, and the consumables will have to be changed earlier than required by regulations. High-quality belts are produced by Bosch and Gates.

You should also buy a tensioner pulley if you decide to change it too.

In addition to consumables, you need to prepare the following tools:

• a set of keys;
• TORX E-14 head;
• long screwdriver;
• jack;
• emphasis

Stages

The procedure for replacing the generator set belt on a Lada Granta with air conditioning is complicated by the fact that the belt passes through the support of the power unit. Therefore, before putting on a new strap, it will have to be dismantled.

Replacement consists of the following steps:

1. First, using a “19” wrench, you need to loosen the lock nut of the strap tensioner lead screw. While unscrewing the locknut, hold the screw with the head at “8”.
2. To loosen the belt tension, rotate the lead screw in the direction of movement clockwise. By following these steps, you can adjust the tension of the accessory drive belt.
3. To replace the strap, you need to remove the right engine mount.
4. Having moved under the car, you need to dismantle the right and middle protective shields of the engine compartment.
5. Then unscrew the fastenings in the middle and front part of the right front wheel arch liner. Next, bend the fender liner behind the wheel brake disc.
6. Using a jack, we hang the right front wheel and dismantle it. The fender liner fastenings can now be released.
7. At the next stage, we place a stop under the oil pan of the power unit so that it holds the weight of the engine.
8. Using a TORX E-14 head, unscrew the screws that secure the support to the cylinder block bracket of the power unit. Using the “17” socket, unscrew the two nuts and the support bolt that secures it to the body side member.
9. We dismantle the engine mount with the cushion.
10. Now, through the resulting opening, you can remove the strap from the pulleys of the auxiliary units and pull it out of the engine compartment.
11. We install a new consumable in place of the worn-out product. In this case, its tension should be adjusted using the tensioner screw. The deflection of the belt in the gap between the air conditioner compressor and the power unit pulley with a force of 10 kilograms should be within 7-8 mm.
12. We perform assembly in the reverse order of removal.

This completes the replacement. Now you know how to replace and tighten the generator set belt on a Lada Granta.

Instructions on how to assemble a tensioner on a grant

Each ledge has space to install a tensioner. To collect it you will need:

• Kalina generator bracket;
• tensioner pulley and its bracket;
• towbar;
• new belt Kalina;
• bushings and bolts.

Assembly drawing, full list of parts with article numbers see below:

The tensioner is not supplied from the factory in order to save money. SCHEME: fret.online

The assembly process is shown in detail here:

Conclusion

If you follow the above sequence of actions, then replacing the alternator belt with or without air conditioning cannot cause any difficulties for the owner of a Lada Grant. It is recommended not to neglect such an important point as timely checking the condition of this element, which will allow you to avoid an unexpected and unpleasant situation on the road. If these conditions are met, the car will delight you for many more kilometers.

Lada Granta is positioned by the manufacturer as one of the cheapest cars. The car entered the top 10 cars with the lowest cost, but not because of its outstanding qualities, but rather because of savings on parts. The absence of a generator belt tensioner leads to rapid wear of the latter. When is it necessary to replace it on a car with or without air conditioning?

General questions about working with the Grant generator

Let's look at general questions: everything except replacement.

Tension check

There are two approaches: visual and physical.

Visual assessment of condition:

1. the car is parked on a flat surface, the gear is neutral, the handbrake is removed, the hood is open;
2. We don’t start the car - we turn on 5th gear;
3. I opened the hood and found a generator: we push the car back, resting against the bumper;
4. We inspect the desired part along its entire length: are there any gaps or cracks? You need to change.

Poor quality will lead to unexpected problems along the way.

Physical assessment:

• if you have a device that measures pressure force: press the belt with a force of 10 kg * s - the deflection should not be more than 10 mm;
• There is no special tool: we try to turn it sideways - it should not turn more than 90 degrees.

How to tighten the alternator belt on a Grant

This section only applies to machines with a tensioner. No - replace the part or see above for how to install it.

Subsequence:

1. use keys 8, 19;
2. place wrench 19 on the screw nut;
3. wrench 8 for lock nut;
4. straighten;
5. Now you can turn the nut: clockwise to loosen, counterclockwise to tighten;
6. achieved the desired result - tighten the lock nut.

It is better to take keys, since a ratchet or crank will not work.

When to change: technical regulations for replacing a VAZ 2190 belt

AvtoVAZ requires checking the condition of this part every 15,000 km.

Replacement is required every 30,000 km, regardless of conditions.

How to remove a generator on a Grant

it must be removed for repairs, bearing or roller replacement.

The step-by-step process includes:

1. remove the negative terminal from the battery;
2. We work with the generator: disconnect the wiring from it;
3. remove the power cable nut cover, remove the nut and remove the cable from the bolt;
4. unscrew and pull out the upper and lower fastening bolts - to work with the lower one, you may need to climb into a hole, remove the tin protection of the internal combustion engine and dismantle it from below;
5. rearrange the part on the right wing, remove the belt, remove it.

You can do without a hole. Example:

Signs of wear on the RPM

Before you start replacing the RPM, conduct your own diagnostics and evaluate the actual condition of the parts and mechanisms. Perhaps the cause of the malfunction is in another unit adjacent to the generator.

1. We open the hood, the engine must cool down so as not to damage the skin of the hand and fingers.
2. We put the gear in neutral and turn the alternator belt. Rotation occurs quite easily, by hand, without special equipment.
3. We inspect each area one by one.

Signs of wear on the RPM

The following will indicate the need to replace the RPM:

• fraying, side abrasions;
• peeling of rubber, thread fiber;
• other mechanical damage;
• teeth tears;
• the presence of oily traces and streaks on the surface of the belt.

If there are no comments on the RPM, we proceed to inspect the tensioner roller. Often the reason for the appearance of third-party noise is precisely this, worn-out roller bearings. We loosen the structure with our hands and check that it is working properly.

It is important to know!!!

If the belt breaks on the way, it is allowed to travel on the battery's reserve energy, but not more than one hour. In practice, experts recommend no more than half an hour of free movement.

Let's summarize

To work with the generator and replace the belt you must:

• set of Torx keys t20 and 27, ratchet with head or handle, knife;
• if there is no tensioner, it can be assembled and delivered;
• if there is no air conditioner, replacement is the easiest;
• is there air conditioning? Work requires a pit or lift with disassembly of the engine mount;
• consumables are changed every 30 thousand runs according to regulations.

Write comments, share your experience.

In accordance with the maintenance regulations for Lada Granta and Lada Kalina cars, we check the condition of the auxiliary drive belt every 15 thousand kilometers, and replace it every 90 thousand km, regardless of the condition of the belt.

LADA > Granta

LADA > Kalina

It is more convenient to work on an inspection ditch or overpass.

Let's sum it up

Taking into account the above information, it becomes clear that the Kalina generator tensioner is no less important than the belt itself. In practice, the presence of a tensioner allows you to increase the service life of the generator bearings. The main thing is to use this solution correctly, avoid over-tightening the belt, and also maintain and change the tensioner if the mechanism fails.

We also recommend reading the article on how to replace the timing belt on a VAZ 2114 with your own hands. From this article you will learn about the features of the replacement, how to replace the VAZ 2114 timing belt, as well as what subtleties and nuances you should pay attention to as part of this procedure.

As a result, let us remind you once again that the quality of the generator’s operation and battery charging will directly depend on the condition of the tensioner and the alternator belt itself. Also, if the belt slips, malfunctions in the operation of other attachments cannot be ruled out. For this reason, the generator belt must be checked regularly, as well as the belt and tensioner itself must be changed according to regulations or, if necessary, in case of emergency situations.

To improve visual inspection, remove the plastic engine cover. To check the condition of the belt, engage the manual transmission in fifth gear, push the car (or turn a suspended wheel) and inspect the entire length of the belt. On a car with an automatic transmission, remove the right fender from the engine compartment and, turning the crankshaft using the accessory drive pulley bolt, check the condition of the belt.

With any of the gearboxes, the following method is also possible: mark sections of the belt with chalk and, briefly turning on the starter, turn the crankshaft at small angles. We inspect the tape along its entire length, checking the areas covered with marks.

The belt should not have cracks, tears or detachments of rubber from the base fabric. A faulty belt must be replaced. To do this, from the engine compartment side...

The procedure is as follows

The replacement procedure is step by step, but we remind you that in some cases the replacement occurs without a tensioner.

1. Using a sharpened knife, cut the belt element and remove it.
2. Using a socket wrench with a standard size of “13”, we tighten (do not remove) the bolt securing the lower rack of the generator unit.
3. Using a similar key, unscrew the bolt at the top and remove it completely. At the same time, we ensure that the upper eye goes beyond the protrusion present on the bracket.
4. We take the generator to the motor and fix its housing with a flexible wire to the corresponding nut on the motor block. We hang the “fresh” belt on the second pulley completely, and on the first (drive) belt only on the upper arc.
5. We activate fifth speed in the gearbox.
6. Giving the belt strictly along the stream, we push the car until it is completely put on the pulley.
7. We remove the previously applied wire.
8. Using a mount, we press the generator unit in the opposite direction (away from the block) and at the moment the upper eye coincides with the hole in the bracket, insert the bolt and screw the nut onto it.
9. We tighten the bolt on the lower mounting unit of the generator set.
10. We check the tightening torques of both fastening points and the degree of tension of the belt drive.
11. If there is a need to re-dismantle the belt, then perform the procedure similarly to the algorithm given here (except for point “1”). Here the belt is removed by pressing its sidewall against one of the cheeks of the drive pulley. For these purposes we use a mount. At the same time, we engage the gear in the gearbox and move the LADA Granta until the belt jumps off the guide runner in the pulley. Replacing the alternator belt with air conditioning is almost identical.

So far we have shown steps that will allow you to change the tension of the accessory drive belt if necessary. But to replace the belt, we need to disassemble the right power unit holder, since it passes through the belt.

Remove the center and right wings of the engine compartment from the bottom of the car. You can see how to do this in the article “Replacing the Lada Granta coolant.” Next, you should remove the wheel arch liner of the right front wheel or, having loosened all the fastenings of the wheel liner in the front and middle parts, fold the wheel liner behind the brake disc of the wheel.

We go out and remove the right front wheel and release the fender liner supports according to the diagram.

What tools and auxiliary materials are needed?

To successfully replace a Lada Granta car, you should stock up on the following list.

1. Naturally, with a new “consumable” (belt).
2. A piece of soft wire or a suitable cord.
3. Socket head (13th dimension).
4. Regular keys.
5. With a pry bar (shovel) or, alternatively, a heavy-duty screwdriver.
