VAZ 2110 windshield wiper trapezoid: do-it-yourself replacement

The wiper trapezoid is a mechanism for transmitting force from the windshield wiper motor to the wiper arms. In this case, the mechanism during operation:

• gradually wears out;
• trapezoid hinges become clogged with dirt;
• The grease is gradually washed out of the joints.

As a result, high loads on the wiper motor disable the motor, the driver is faced with poor quality of windshield cleaning, extraneous noise appears during wiper operation, etc. The solution in such a situation is to repair the trapezoid or replace the wiper trapezoid. Read more in our article.

Causes of malfunction

Therefore, if the brushes are completely frozen, or only squeak, the root cause should be sought in the electric motor. Not forgetting that in addition to electrical problems, there may be mechanical problems.

The most common ones are:

1. When you turn on the windshield wiper, you can hear the motor running, but it only jerks or remains motionless. First of all, you need to suspect that the nut securing the crank to the gearbox axle has become unscrewed or loosened;
2. If the windshield wipers operate but are not synchronized, the leash may be the culprit. Most likely, the nut securing it has become loose. Before tightening it, you need to put the wipers in the correct position.

If the electrical part is faulty, the symptoms will be:

1. The wipers work slowly, stop wherever they want, and do not want to take the lower position. The limit switch may be to blame for this. Its adjustment consists of bending the contacts. If such repairs do not help, then the entire electric motor assembly needs to be replaced, since it is sold only together with the gearbox;
2. Intermittent mode is turned on, but the brushes work without stopping. Most likely the relay has failed and needs to be replaced. This is definitely a relay if on a VAZ, when the intermittent mode is on, the noise of the rotating armature of the wiper motor is inaudible. But if the replacement did not help, the contacts of the limit switch may have oxidized or burnt;
3. You turn on any of the modes, and you only hear the thermometallic fuse click. The brushes “stand still” and the anchor is also inaudible. First of all, check to see if the brushes are frozen and therefore do not move. By the way, fuse F5 often blows in this case. Another possible reason is that the anchor burned out;
4. The electric motor does not work, although both fuses are intact. It is necessary to check all the contacts that the drive has, as well as the motor. Perhaps the brushes are stuck or the armature is burnt out.

Mechanical problems

Often the windshield wiper on a VAZ-2110 may not work due to a loose nut pressing the blade holder. This fault can be repaired in a few seconds. It is enough to tighten a poorly tightened nut to restore the functionality of the wipers. Some events may indicate an unscrewed nut:

1. When the electric motor is running, the brushes do not move.
2. The brushes stop working on their own in an intermediate position.

Also, brush holders may stop due to poor contact pressure in the gearmotor. If the teeth on the gearmotor gear are crumbled, the brushes will also not work.

mechanics Often the wipers on a VAZ 2110 car do not work due to a banal loosening of the nut that presses the brush holder to the trapezoid shaft. You can restore the system's functionality instantly by adjusting the angle of the brush and tightening the lever with a nut.

An unscrewed nut that facilitates the transmission of torque from the gearbox to the trapezoid can be reported by one of two events:

• the electric motor remains operational in all modes, but both brushes do not move;
• the brushes spontaneously stop working in an intermediate position.

However, stopping of the brush holders in an arbitrary position can occur due to poor pressing of the “limit switch” contacts to the gear motor gear or oxidation/burning of the same contacts. And the brushes are not able to move even after chipping the teeth of the gears, which do not have a long service life - after all, they are made of plastic.

Windshield wiper failure can occur for quite trivial reasons:

• fuse F5 burned out;
• the terminals of the connecting blocks are oxidized or burnt;
• wires are faulty;
• relay K5 524.3747 broke;
• ordered the steering column switch to “live for a long time”;
• the nut that attracts the trapezoid crank to the gearbox has become loose;
• the nuts securing the levers to the trapezoid shafts were unscrewed;
• The brushes are frozen to the glass.

Often, wipers on models of the VAZ 2110 family do not work due to complex faults:

• oxidation/burning, insufficient pressing force of the contacts of the limit switch located on the gearbox cover;
• brushes hanging in the gearmotor;
• burnout/contamination of the collector;
• break in the armature winding;
• chipping of gear teeth in the gearbox.

Self-replacement of the windshield wiper trapezoid on a VAZ 2110

A hot topic for owners of the corresponding model is replacing the windshield wiper trapezoid on a VAZ 2110. Experienced motorists know: this part is subject to rapid wear

. more precisely, not the part itself, but some of its components. In particular, the bushings are made of plastic. Whether the design is to blame for this, or some other defects, they wear out much faster than other mechanisms.

Meanwhile, the performance of windshield wipers is a guarantee of safety in bad weather.

Replacing the windshield wiper trapezoid on a VAZ 2110 is a necessary measure that has to be taken to maintain the wipers in working condition. At the initial stage, this problem manifests itself in a weakening of pressure - in other words, the windshield wipers cannot cope with flows of water or heavy snowfall. Returning to the original position is difficult; you can actually feel the strain with which the wipers move across the glass.

The presence of such symptoms indicates wear and tear on the trapezoid mechanisms.

windshield wiper

Attempts to repair the part, especially in a makeshift setting, are impractical: the mechanism is too thin, and the plastic bushings cannot be replaced. The only way out is to replace the trapezoid.

The replacement process is simple, but it involves manipulations that require increased attention and accuracy - there is a danger of damage to neighboring components and mechanisms.

We de-energize the car by removing the “negative” terminal. We remove the special wind cover (the so-called “jabot”) and the expansion tank. The latter must be removed at an angle - there is a possibility that some of the coolant will spill out, so it is useful to first drain some of it into a previously prepared container.

Then you need to turn off the gearmotor. To do this, remove the corresponding connector

Carefully pull out the trapezoid (depending on the year of manufacture, it can be attached to two or four studs) and carefully remove it from the air supply box. That's it, job done

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

Before purchasing a part, you need to find out which trapezoid is needed: there are “old” and “new” samples, indistinguishable in appearance. However, there are quite serious internal differences, which makes it impossible to install the “wrong” trapezoid.

However, our mechanics found an interesting way: a small modification (removing “extra” fastening studs on both sides of the body) solves the problem.

Moreover, experts advise installing a trapeze from Priora on a VAZ 2110 - in this case, a rework is also needed, but some cost savings are achieved (spare parts from Priora are cheaper). The modification consists of replacing the wiper arms ( on the VAZ 2110 they are slightly smaller

).

In addition, the connectors for connecting the electric motor are different. Here you need at least minimal knowledge in electronics, because you will have to install new wiring, reliably insulating it.

Note

. that such experiments require a fair amount of technical skill, which most car enthusiasts do not possess. In addition, in this case, the correct operation of the windshield wipers is not guaranteed (there is a danger that the blades will not ensure complete cleaning of the windshield, in addition, there may be problems with returning to their original position).

Conclusion: in order not to acquire a bunch of problems along with a dubious item, we install the original part, without chasing penny savings.

As you can see, replacing the windshield wiper trapezoid on a VAZ 2110 is a very simple task, accessible even to an amateur

It’s unpleasant when problems with the windshield wiper appear at the most opportune moment, for example, the wipers refuse to work, their movements are difficult, or the blades scratch the car’s windshield. You may have to change the purifier trapezoid assembly, but which one should you install to replace the old one?

What are the causes of breakdowns?

The most likely factor causing the wipers to stop is the blown working element in the fuse. Eliminating this malfunction involves performing the simplest action - replacing the fuse link. It is located in the corresponding mounting block, located on the left side of the steering column. It will be useful to stock up on a fuse diagram, which will help you easily find the insert we need.

When the purifiers stopped functioning intermittently, the control relay most likely became unusable. This component is also located in the previously designated block. When a relay fails, it is replaced with a new analogue. However, we note that according to numerous reviews from owners of domestic small cars, certain statistics have been formed indicating the small number of cases of breakdowns of this kind.

The most common cause is the destruction of bushings. They are made of plastic, so they do not boast a long service life, which reaches a maximum of three years. The process of destruction of elements is primarily influenced by the quality indicator of the material. Here, the only effective measure is replacement, and to carry it out you should acquire a repair kit, which is available at a specialized retailer. In this case, the trapezoid is replaced.

If the owner of a Lada Kalina discovers that the wiper drive is not working, this indicates that the unit’s motor has failed. In order to verify this fact, you will need to make sure that voltage is supplied to the motor contacts from the on-board network. This procedure is easily performed using a regular tester. If there is power, then we definitely change the motor.

Alternative solutions

Often this happens because they do not see alternatives and are not familiar with them.

For all VAZ 2110 models, regardless of the year of manufacture, it is possible to install windshield wipers for the driver and passenger sides of the same size - 20 inches. The length of the brush is 508 millimeters.

But this size can be increased to 530 millimeters. It is not recommended to install more, since this way the windshield wiper will not be able to work effectively, and the drive simply will not cope with the load. As a result, too long brushes cause squeaking and jerky work. Plus, don’t count on a long service life of the wiper mechanisms.

The original windshield wipers for the 10 are quite good. But there are more expensive, but also more highly efficient, high-quality devices.

But as practice shows, on the windshield of the VAZ 2110, as well as other VAZ models, they do not look very nice, because the fasteners on the leash turn out to be massive. Although if you modify them a little, you will get a very good result.

Alternative

When choosing wipers, not only their size matters, but also the device, as well as the manufacturer. For VAZ 2110 of all years of manufacture there is one size for the wiper on the driver or passenger side - 20″ (wiper length 508 mm).

However, you should know that you can usually increase the size to 53 cm, but no more, otherwise the windshield wipers will not cope with the task assigned to them, and the drive may fail, because the leash is not designed for such a load. In addition, such wipers creak during operation and can operate jerkily.

If the size is chosen incorrectly, the mechanism will fail faster. In principle, many people use the “original” VAZ wipers and are satisfied with them. But it is possible to modify windshield wipers from other companies, often of higher quality.

For example, for many, frameless brushes (especially Boshevsky ones) are very attractive. They are compact and have a special leash mechanism. However, they do not look particularly nice on a VAZ, since their fastening to the arm of a regular frame wiper turns out to be massive. These brushes need some work.

The VAZ 2112/2111 model has a rear wiper, its size is 11″ (27.9 cm).

Both regular replacement and modification of wipers begin with disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery. Then you need to pull the wiper towards you and remove the brushes.

If there is a decorative trim, it should be removed. Unscrew the bolt and remove the old wiper. Be sure to compare the size of the new windshield wiper with the old one. It will be better if the size of the windshield wiper on the VAZ 2110 does not exceed its predecessor by more than 2 cm. Install everything in the reverse order.

Check to see if the new brushes are squeaking and how they obey the “commands” of the switch. They should work quickly at high engine speeds, and slowly at low and intermittent modes. That, in fact, is the entire repair of VAZ wipers.

What is a windshield wiper trapezoid and what is it for?

The trapezoids are around here somewhere!

The wiper trapezium is a special unit that converts the engine impulse into forward movements of the windshield wipers.

Simply put, it is she who is responsible for their movement along the windshield or rear window of the car. Since weather conditions are often unpredictable, and the windshield must provide complete visibility, failure of this part must be quickly identified and corrected.

Principle of operation

Most often, plastic bushings wear out in trapezoids.

Although, at first glance, it seems that the movement of the brushes occurs directly, in fact, a trapezoid, which is an electromechanical unit, is responsible for it. It works on the following principle:

1. The windshield wiper motor uses the finger, which drives the trapezoid itself.
2. Due to the connection of the gearbox and shafts, oscillatory movements occur, causing the brushes to move along the glass, cleaning it.

It often happens that the trapezoid fails. This happens especially often after or during the winter season. Some inexperienced VAZ-2110 owners turn on the “brushes” without bothering to clear the snow from the glass. Often the wipers freeze to the glass, and an attempt to move them ends in breakage. To prevent this from happening, you should always check the brushes before turning them on in winter for freezing.

Spare part selection

The catalog number of the original wiper trapezoid is 2110-5205010. Give preference to trapezoids from manufacturers:

• Balaton;
• At program;
• Startvolt.

Part of the old and new sample

Selecting a new part for a VAZ-2110 is not such a simple matter. Not everyone knows that there are old and new trapezoids.

The old-style trapezoid rods are secured with two studs.

The new type of rods are installed without problems if you remove one pin.

Therefore, it is better to remove the old part and take it to an auto parts store. They are not only attached differently, but also differ in the connectors through which they are connected to the motor. If you can’t find an old-style trapezoid, and this is exactly what you have, you’ll have to redo the system or look for a used part.

• As a rule, trapezoids of a new type are available for sale from various manufacturers. One of the popular models has the article number VLT2110–5205010-Р.

If the windshield wiper motor is working properly, you can only change the trapezoid itself.

Wiper design

The main parts of the windshield wiper are the supporting frame and the cleaning element.

Wipers with metal frame

The supporting frame is made of metal or plastic. Wipers with a metal frame are more durable and strong. This frame is used to make winter windshield wiper blades.

Wipers with plastic frame

There is another type of brush design - frameless brushes. The frame in such brushes is a cleaning rubber band and the wiper itself is made entirely of rubber.

Frameless wipers

The cleaning element is made of soft rubber or silicone, which ensures a tight fit to the windshield and excellent cleansing of moisture.

Types of wipers

Classic.

The design consists of seven metal “rocker arms” arranged pyramidally. The largest arc holds two smaller ones, which, in turn, hold even smaller ones and are attached to a rubber blade. This design allows the downforce of the wiper to be evenly distributed. Slowly going out of fashion, these wipers are falling in price every day, while performing their functionality very well in the warm season. The main enemy of such a wiper is snow. But it is impossible to say that these brushes are worse in functionality than frameless ones. The pressing effect of such a design loses its properties over time. Therefore, it is better to change the brush frame itself after a few years.

Frameless.

The “rocker arm” system for this type of wiper is replaced by a thin metal plate that passes through the entire length of the brush. It is a frame, despite the so-called frameless classification. They tolerate snow better, but this design has a disadvantage - the distribution of downforce here is worse than that of “rocker arms”. In the cold there is a shrinking effect. The advantages of these brushes over the previous ones can be called design. Although the taste and color as they say... .

Winter brushes.

They repeat the classic summer design, but all its moving parts are hidden under a rubber cover. But these brushes are not very suitable for summer, since the casing causes too much windage. If the speed is above 90 km. at an hour, the brushes begin to move away from the glass. As good as such brushes are in winter precipitation, they are just as bad in summer precipitation.

Hybrid.

These brushes are the latest development for today. Metal “rocker arms” here replace three plastic arcs, they also act as a winter cover, thereby allowing these wipers to be called hybrid. Another distinctive feature of these wipers is improved aerodynamics. Headwind increases downforce. Although in such a design there is something to freeze on.

In conclusion, we can say that in winter it is better to use winter wipers, and for summer any wipers except winter ones are suitable. It's up to you to choose

In any case, new wipers, no matter what design, are better than those that do not perform their functions at all

Which brushes to choose

Standard VAZ-2110 brushes consist of three elements:

• frame;
• the brush itself;
• fastenings

The frame of the device is made of metal and has a composite structure, which includes one main rail and two additional ones located on it. The brush is made of soft rubber. In the middle of its working surface there is a longitudinal protrusion (keel), which, in fact, cleans the glass. The brush is attached to two additional frame slats, fitting into their grooves. To ensure that the wiper slides easily across the glass, some manufacturers coat its working part with graphite.

In the center of the main rail there is a fastening mechanism with which it is attached to the leash. It is a guide into which the hook of the leash hooks and a plastic latch that secures the connection.

Having decided on the size of your wipers, do not rush to buy the first model you come across. The fact is that the auto parts market today is filled with fakes. By skimping on some 100 rubles, you can buy wipers that will work effectively for several days, and after that they will begin to creak and let water through.

Photo report on the removal and installation of the windshield wiper trapezoid on a VAZ 2110-2112

When all the preparatory steps are done, everything will look something like this. The arrows at the top show the attachment points of the two nuts:

You need to unscrew them, of course.

After this, we disconnect the clamp securing the expansion tank and, lifting it up a little, move it to the side to gain access to the third trapezoid mounting nut.

After this, the nut can be unscrewed; it is located at the very bottom:

After you have dealt with this, you can carefully turn the trapezoid and remove it from the left side, slightly bending the metal frame below the windshield to the side (the force required is very small - there is no point in talking about any real bending!)

And lift it almost all the way to take it out:

All that remains is to disconnect the power plug:

And now you can finally remove the entire structure of the trapezoid and the wiper motor from the bore. If you need to disconnect and replace one motor, then in principle there will be no difficulties with this - just unscrew it and replace it.

Installation of all removed parts occurs in the reverse order. It is worth mentioning the prices of these spare parts. The cost of a trapezoid assembly with an engine for a VAZ 2110 is about 2000-3000 rubles from the manufacturer AvtoVAZ. Chinese analogues cost about 2000 rubles.

The windshield wipers of the VAZ-2110 car themselves do not represent anything structurally complex. However, their failure, especially during heavy rainfall, can trigger an emergency situation. One of the main elements of windshield wipers or “brushes” is a trapezoid.

Repair and replacement of trapezium wipers 2110

As a rule, if you need a new windshield wiper trapezoid, the price for the mechanism is not the highest. The replacement itself is also not particularly difficult. However, the mechanism does not always need to be changed. As a rule, it is often possible to limit ourselves to only repairing the trapezoid.

Moreover, regular inspections and replacement of only worn-out elements can extend the service life of the entire mechanism, as well as reduce the load on the heater motor and increase the overall efficiency of the wipers as a whole.

How to repair a trapezoid

First of all, after removal, all elements of the trapezoid must be cleaned, and then the condition of the studs must be examined. If the ribs are severely worn, the trapezoid must be replaced. If there is no such wear, it is enough to replace the plastic caps, which are sold in a repair kit.

1. First, the trapezoid is disassembled and the old caps are cut off. The main task is to remove the caps from the trapezoid rods. You can also immerse the ends of the trapezoid in boiling water for a few minutes. Then the caps can simply be pushed out.
2. Next, you need to take into account that the VAZ 2110 model was equipped with different types of trapezoids with minor differences.
   In this case, it is often necessary to adjust the trapezoid rods to the caps or the caps from the repair kit to fit the rods. At the initial stage, the caps should be inspected. If they have a locking protrusion, there should be a recess on the rod for such a protrusion on the rod. If there is no such recess, the protrusion on the cap must be cut off or a recess for it must be cut on the rod itself. If there is no protrusion, no modifications will be required.
3. When installing, the seat is cleaned, the new cap is immersed in boiling water for a few seconds. Next, the cap, soft from heat, is easily put into place. Do not attempt to install a cold cap as there is a risk of damaging it!
4. After installing the cap, you should wait 15 minutes until it cools completely, after which the rod can be assembled. The bushings should first be lubricated with grease (graphite will do).

Replacing the trapezoid

Regardless of whether a new mechanism is installed or a repaired one is installed, replacing a trapezoid is not a complicated procedure. Installing a trapezoid will require:

• inserting a new or restored mechanism;
• fastening the mechanism with bolts;

In general, assembly is carried out in the opposite order to removing the trapezoid from the car (discussed above)

However, there are some nuances that you should pay attention to.

1. When changing the trapezoid for the wipers, you should not immediately tighten the bolt securing the electric motor.
   The fact is that for the mechanism to work properly, you may need to slightly turn the motor. Only after confirming that the trapezoid is operating normally can the motor mounting bolt be tightened.
2. Then you can put the sound insulation in place and fasten it, connect all the washer pipes, and fix the expansion tank. The final stage is the installation of plastic plugs, installation of leads and wiper blades.

After installing all the elements, you should once again check the quality of the wipers.

In this case, it is important to use the windshield wiper in all modes, check the operation of the washer, etc. . https://www.youtube.com/embed/cdx2beFLCyA

Replacing wipers

For the first successful replacement, it is recommended to consider the types of windshield wipers. Following detailed instructions, the work is completed within half an hour.

Replacing the windshield wiper motor of a VAZ 2110

First you need to look at the old brushes. You can try to get them out of the levers. Often, special springs are installed that make it possible to bend these levers. Next, you need to determine how the brush is attached to the lever (screws, needles or clamps can be used).

The length of these brushes is measured with a ruler or, for example, tape measure. Required tools for replacement:

• round nose pliers;
• screwdrivers included in the set;
• paper napkins and a small towel.

Necessary materials to complete the work:

• a set of new brushes;
• special liquid for glass.

The required materials can be purchased in stores specializing in the sale of spare auto parts.

If the car was produced earlier, it is almost impossible to find brushes for it. The only thing that can be done is to change only the rubber part attached to a thin metal base.

It is recommended to replace brushes in the following sequence:

• for normal access to the windshield wiper, the car must be parked;
• windshield wipers must be secured in a position that provides unobstructed access to each blade;
• in some certain brands of cars, the windshield wipers are recessed flush, so you need to read the instructions for replacing them specifically for the VAZ 2110;
• You need to spread an unnecessary blanket on the hood of the car, as well as around the windshield wipers. Such measures will prevent glass from breaking and damage to the coating on the hood;
• The old windshield wiper design is removed from the mount.

• At the end of the rubber brush there is a locking device that can be easily opened with round-nose pliers. The functioning of the locking device is checked several times. You need to compare the rubber brush fixed to the machine with the new brush, they should match. It is removed from the mount and lever. A new brush is inserted, and it must pass through all the points, just like the old design;
• On recent cars, T-shaped mounts for windshield wipers are installed; to remove them, you need to use a small flat-head screwdriver. The purchased unit is installed by pressing the lever itself, as a result a click should be heard;
• Another type of fastening involves the use of screws. In such a situation, the unit with the brush will be secured using one or two screws. The screws are unscrewed with a screwdriver, and the new design is screwed onto the lever. The fastening screws must be tightened tightly, and small washers can be used;
• The new L-shaped design of the fastening levers is noteworthy. This unit is equipped with a rounded latch that has a swivel joint. To install new brushes, no tools are needed; just press the special latch, pull the brush slightly towards you and remove it from the lever. To fix the new structure, you need to press on the latch until it is installed in its place; you should hear a click.

When the manipulations with the first brush are completed, it’s time to start the second, the sequence of actions is the same.

It often becomes necessary, especially on modern modifications of the VAZ 2110, to replace the motor. It is he who is responsible for the normal operation of the windshield wipers.

Replacing the windshield wiper motor on a VAZ 2110

Replacing the windshield wiper motor of a VAZ 2110 can also be done with your own hands. In addition, it may be necessary to replace the windshield wiper mechanism of the VAZ 2110 or replace the wiper arms of the VAZ 2110. Sometimes, simply replacing the windshield wiper drive on the VAZ 2110 leads to normal operation of the blades. A detailed video, of which there is a lot on the Internet, will tell you how to do everything without errors. It is also useful to use photo materials and pictures during the work process, especially if everything is done with your own hands. The detailed instructions for replacing windshield wipers presented above are an opportunity to save a lot of money, because the price for services of this kind in services is high, and the result is not always pleasing to the car owner. You can also find out on our website how to replace washer nozzles.

How to care for your wipers to extend their lifespan

To ensure that your wipers last as long as possible, follow these tips:

• Wipe dirt-stained brushes with a clean, damp cloth or sponge. This way you will not only get rid of dirt, but also protect the glass from scratches.
• If the front glass is covered with a layer of dust and the car washer fluid has run out, do not turn on the cleaner. This will also cause scratches on the glass.

• In winter, especially during snowfalls, do not leave the wipers leaning against the windshield - they will freeze. It is better to raise the leashes so that the brushes are suspended.
• If the windshield wipers are still frozen, do not under any circumstances try to tear them off by force. This will only damage the rubber band. Start the engine, turn the heater on to blow the windshield and wait until it defrosts.
• You should also not knock ice off the frame or brush. Gently bend the elastic until it peels off in small pieces.
• When replacing wipers, place some thick cloth on the windshield. This will protect it in case the spring-loaded leash slips out of your hands.

The trapezium of the wipers transmits the force from the engine to the windshield wiper arms. The best quality of windshield cleaning will be only if all elements of the wipers are in working order. If the trapezoid hinges are clogged with dirt or the lubricant has dried out, the motor energy will not be enough for proper cleaning. Therefore, owners of cars of the tenth family are forced to repair the trapezoid once every 5–10 years in order to avoid deterioration in the performance of the wipers.

Replacement procedure

So, you have chosen a gear motor for your VAZ - one of the first three. Let's look at how it is replaced. When performing this work, there is no need to disassemble the entire windshield wiper system. We proceed like this:

1. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery;
2. Having noted the position of the brushes on the windshield, unscrew and remove the levers;
3. Remove the cover from the fairing;
4. Unscrew the nut securing the crank mechanism bracket to the motor axis;
5. Unscrew and remove the bracket itself. It is secured to the body with 3 bolts;
6. We remove the non-working or poorly functioning motor from the studs;
7. Replacing the old one with a new one is done in the reverse way.

Refinement stages

Wiring It is easy to modify or replace wipers. To do this you need to take several sequential steps:

• Disconnect the negative cable from the battery;
• Pull the wiper towards you;
• Remove the existing brushes;
• If there is a decorative trim, remove it;
• Unscrew the mounting bolt, thereby removing the old wiper;
• Compare the dimensions of the old and new cleaner;
• Ideally, the new device should not exceed the old one by more than 20 millimeters;
• Reverse the assembly procedure.

As you can see, changing windshield wipers is not difficult. But with the repair procedure, everything is somewhat different. But following the instructions, even an inexperienced VAZ 2110 owner will be able to do everything with his own hands.

How to determine that a trapezoid is “kirdyk”

Kirdyk is a slang word meaning an extremely bad situation.

It happens that the retaining ring of the bushing breaks and the rod simply flies out.

The slightest disturbance in the operation of the trapezoid can lead to incorrect operation of the wipers. Usually this part is replaced with a new one, although in some cases you can get by with installing a repair kit. Its cost is significantly lower than the price of the entire part, although repairs will take much more time. Here is a list of the main signs by which you can determine that a part will soon fail:

1. Windshield wipers begin to do their immediate job poorly. This occurs due to the weakening of pressure.
2. An unusual noise is heard during operation.
3. A backlash appears, which can be determined even visually, since the glass will be difficult to clean.
4. It happens that the brushes move in one direction easily, but back with difficulty, constantly slowing down.

All these problems lead to the fact that the windshield remains dirty, with streaks and smudges.

Repair kit for VAZ-2110

Most often, plastic parts are destroyed in the trapezoid. In this case, a repair kit can help.

When purchasing a repair kit, pay attention to the part number. If metal parts are damaged, you will have to replace the entire trapezoid. As a rule, the trapezoid is destroyed as a result of an accident, or due to careless handling of the windshield wiper system

Signs of Brake Pad Wear

As the vehicle's mileage increases, the need to replace the front brake pads on the VAZ 2112 also increases.

Remember! The front pads wear out much faster than the rear ones, since the main braking force falls on the front of the car.

Below are some signs that can help you determine if you need to replace your front brake pads:

• The first is a squeaking sound when braking. Such sounds irritate absolutely everyone on the road - from the driver himself to pedestrians passing by. The creaking indicates several causes of problems with the pads.
• The first reason for a squeak is, of course, wear on the brake pad. The fact is that it is made of metal on which a friction lining is attached, which, in fact, brakes the brake disc.
• When this friction lining wears off, the metal of the brake disc begins to rub against the metal of the pad and creates this nasty squeaking noise.
• The second reason for squeaking is poor quality pads. The friction lining may be made of low-quality material, which creates such sounds when braking.
• The second sign is a deterioration in braking force. In simple words, you need to press harder on the pedal so that the car brakes as much as before.
• The third sign is a sinking brake pedal. If the brake pads wear out significantly, the pedal will sink, that is, operate closer to the floor. Conversely, after installing new brake pads, the pedal will most likely rise to its previous normal position.

Here are the signs that the front brake pads on a VAZ 2112 need to be replaced.

Replacing the trapezium wipers of a VAZ 2110

And since this usually happens to me, nothing foreshadowed trouble... Having traveled 500 km a day to Stary Drozhzhany, which is near Ulyanovsk, and back. I thought that nothing bad would happen. I took a tablet for my dad to such distant places...

So, when I arrived in Kazan, I decided that I needed to get deflectors on the doors to prevent air from blowing into my ears.

But my hands grow from the “right place”, I can! Somehow my driver's windshield wiper is not tight enough, I need to tighten it, I thought and tore off the fucking pin along with the nut...

To begin with, after removing the trapezoid, do not remove the coupling nut (which is 13). You need to remember the position of the walker and install it exactly as you had it. Now that you haven't made my mistakes, let's go!

Remove the negative terminal!

We remove the wipers, then remove the Jabot (according to the instructions or from memory), and remove the strap from the expansion tank.

Use a 10mm wrench to unscrew the right nut (on the passenger side) so you can’t get under it (my head).

Then carefully remove the motor power plug. Carefully (with swearing and merry dancing) remove the trapeze. She comes out dadada...

Attention, when replacing the trapezoid (only if the motor does not turn!), remember (!take a photo!) the position of the coupling when removing. I assembled it as in the instructions and my wipers made one full stroke and another half a stroke... These are the hands...

I assembled it as in the instructions and my wipers made one full stroke and another half stroke... These are the hands...

In general, the second time I got fucked up and went. I went to normal guys with straight arms. To a car service. By the way, besides this, they do a lot more. They adjusted the movement of the wipers for me for 200 rubles, they didn’t even remove the trapezoid, but I put everything back together myself.

I don’t think anyone will argue with the fact that good visibility is necessary to drive safely. To do this, it is necessary that the mechanism driving the brushes works, the trapezoid of the wipers is in good working order, but the brushes themselves must be in good condition and appropriate for the time of year.

Bad weather reminds us to regularly replace our windshield wiper blades. Some manufacturers of these extremely important parts recommend changing brushes once a year. The fact is that under the influence of the environment, rubber inserts gradually dry out and lose their elasticity. Hard rubber works like a scraper, leaving streaks and streaks on the glass.

Replenish the washer fluid supply in the washer barrel in a timely manner. To avoid poisoning from toxic pores, buy only proven glass cleaning liquid.

Trapezoid repair

During repairs, it is necessary to clean all elements of the trapezoid from dirt and inspect the studs. If wear is detected on their ribs, the trapezoid will have to be replaced. Repairing a trapezoid involves replacing the plastic caps. To do this you will need a repair kit and boiling water. First, disassemble the trapezoid using a pry bar or a heavy-duty flathead screwdriver as leverage. After this, cut off the old plastic caps. If you can’t cut it, use side cutters and bite off the caps piece by piece until you can pull them out of the trapezoid rods. You can also hold the ends of the trapezoid in boiling water, 2 to 3 minutes is enough, then push the caps out of their seats.

Three types of trapezoids were installed on cars of the “tenth” family - VAZ 2110, 2111 and 2112, which differed in minor details. Therefore, there is a possibility that either the trapezoid rods or the caps will have to be adjusted. Remove the cap and inspect it. If there is a fixing protrusion on top of it, check the recess for it on the rod seat. If there is no notch, you will have to either cut off the protrusion on the cap (does not affect the performance and reliability of the trapezoid) or saw through it in the draft. If there is no protrusion on the cap, no adjustment will be necessary.

Clean the rod and seat, then lower the cap into boiling water for 10 - 15 seconds. After this, it will soften and easily fall into place. Do not install a cold cap as this will destroy it. After the cap has cooled completely (20 minutes), the rod is ready for assembly. Before assembly, lubricate the bushings with graphite grease.

Check the serviceability of the electric motor. To do this, disconnect it from the trapezoid (you need to unscrew the fastening nut) and connect it to the car battery. When working, it should make a low buzzing sound. If you don't know how to connect the motor to the battery, then connect it to the power connector. Turn on various operating modes of the electric motor for 10 - 15 minutes. After that, feel it. If the motor gets hot, it needs to be replaced. An electrical technician can try to repair this device, but regular drivers and car enthusiasts need to replace it.

Repairing a trapezoid using a repair kit

If the bushing in an old part is simply worn out, it is not necessary to change the entire trapezoid. It is enough to simply repair it using a repair kit. As a rule, it has everything you need. To repair the trapezoid, you will also have to remove it. When removing the wiper arms, you must try to act extremely carefully, otherwise you may damage the glass or paint on the edge of the hood.

Recommendations

Often the wipers on the VAZ 2110 begin to work poorly as a result of problems with the electric motor, and not the trapezoid. For this reason, when servicing or replacing the trapezoid, it is important to check the serviceability of the electric wiper motor.

1. To check the wiper motor, you need to disconnect it from the trapezoid by unscrewing the mounting nut.
   The motor is then connected directly to the battery or via a standard power connector. A low buzzing sound during operation is considered normal. At the same time, noise, grinding and crackling when power is supplied are unacceptable. We also recommend reading the article on how to replace windshield wiper blades. From this article you will learn about the features of replacing wiper rubber bands, as well as what you need to consider when performing this procedure.
2. Experts also recommend turning on different operating modes so that the engine as a whole runs for about 10 minutes. Next, you should feel the motor. Strong heating will indicate that the wiper motor will soon fail and needs to be replaced. It is also possible to repair the motor, but it is easier and faster to purchase a new device, since its cost is not high.

Finally, we note that the VAZ 2110 windshield wiper requires regular trapezoidal maintenance. At a minimum, cleaning from dirt and lubrication is necessary. This allows you to significantly increase the service life of the mechanism and reduce the load on the electric motor, increasing its service life and productivity.
