Steering rack / power steering pump LADA SAMARA (2108, 2109, 2115, 2113, 2114)

Types and advantages of power steering

The steering of the VAZ 2114 has undergone significant changes when compared with its predecessors in the form of the first generation Samara. Driving has become really better.

Installation kit

Customers had the opportunity to choose between electric power steering and power steering, that is, electric power steering and power steering. But how do these systems differ from each other, which one should you prefer and why? Let's try to figure this out.

Electric booster

Diagram of an electromechanical amplifier
The task of the car owner, whose car has an EUR installed, is to constantly monitor the condition of the unit. A special controller is responsible for the operation of current pulses. With its help, the driver can independently set the degree of gain.

The EUR performs several tasks.

1. It has a positive effect on handling, maneuverability, perfectly holds the car on the road, and allows you to feel the car. Remove the electric booster, and driving becomes a complete test of the driver's nerves and physical fitness.
2. It copes well with temperature changes, which are especially typical for the Russian climate. Even extremely low temperatures do not affect the electric power steering, which allows the entire steering system of the car to adequately withstand such operating conditions.
3. The power from the electric booster has a positive effect on fuel consumption. By adjusting the degree of gain, you thereby control the appetite of your car. So the appearance of EUR on the VAZ 2114 became a landmark event for the domestic automobile industry.

Power steering

The hydraulic booster includes a large number of elements that require not only constant monitoring, but also careful handling.

Despite the rather complex technology, power steering is effective, safe, provides comfortable control, and allows you to control the behavior of the car even if the front wheels break down.

Alas, the hydraulic booster is not without its drawbacks. The main one is frequent breakdowns. They arise mainly due to leakage of working fluid.

The functions of the power steering are as follows:

• The car becomes more obedient, maneuvers well, and responds to the driver’s steering input;
• Provides softening of impacts on the steering wheel when passing difficult road sections. There are more than enough of these in our country;
• The hydraulic booster is ideal for regular driving on country roads. In this component, the electric amplifier is significantly inferior to the power steering;
• The driver feels the road better, makes timely decisions, and the system responds to them;
• Strengthening due to the working fluid allows you to reduce the number of revolutions of the steering wheel rim to perform maneuvers. This saves the driver's effort.

Disadvantages of power steering and electric power steering

Connection
To answer this question, it is necessary to consider not only the positive aspects of this or that amplifier, which we have already done, but also point out their main disadvantages.

What is better for the VAZ 2114? Let's try to figure this out.

1. The hydraulic booster does not allow additional fuel savings, but the efficiency of the electric booster is sometimes too low.
2. The hydraulic booster has a weak element - the pump. He has to be checked regularly to monitor his condition. It so happens that on the VAZ 2114 this component is not reliable.

With this short list the list of shortcomings can be completed. But it is worth paying attention to some nuances.

Installation process

As you know, all foreign-made cars are equipped with power steering, which is initially included in the basic configuration of the car. But with the domestic auto industry, not everything is so simple. So, almost all cars, on the contrary, are not equipped with this design, and the function comes as an additional option, for some money.

EUR or power steering - which is better to choose for a VAZ-2114?

So, should you install a hydraulic booster or an electric booster? This question plagues many motorists. Of course, in all respects, the EUR is inferior to the power steering, but there is one that negates all the advantages of the “hydrika”. This indicator is the price.

So, an electric power steering with installation will cost 20,000 rubles, while a power steering kit without installation costs 25,000 rubles. So, as practice shows, most motorists choose to install electric power steering.

Possible problems

Some drivers note that in a VAZ 2114 with a hydraulic booster, the control system becomes as if weightless. This can be confusing. When the gain is lost, the steering wheel has to be turned more often.

Wiring

As for replacing the hydraulic booster with an electric booster, this is a more than possible option for improving the car. It is considered one of the simplest but most effective types of technical tuning. However, it is strongly not recommended to perform such operations yourself.

Choose specialized car services that specialize in technical modifications and tuning of the car. AvtoVAZ cars, which include the VAZ 2114, are beautiful because they are literally created for tuning. Many young drivers choose the “fourteenth” model as their first car. This is due to the wide possibilities for modification with minimal investment. This car lends itself perfectly to external tuning, and the current spare parts market makes it possible to improve the internal filling. This includes replacing the power steering with electric power steering.

Power steering fluid, when it needs to be changed

Like all technical fluids in a car, power steering fluid also needs maintenance, especially during intensive use of the vehicle. Although some car manufacturers do not regulate the service life of power steering oil, considering that it is filled for the entire life of the vehicle and only requires regular topping, it should still be changed occasionally. Over time, the liquid can lose its properties, become diluted with condensation, become darker, as a result, the steering wheel no longer turns so easily, vehicle control deteriorates and there is a considerable risk of an emergency.

I have this problem on my Priora. In short, I go to work, get into the car, start it, warm it up, start to move away and the EUR turns off, and only by the end of the evening it doesn’t seem to work for me. I decided to check the charging and this is what happened: with the engine running 13.9, with a stove 13.7, with dimensions and a stove 13.5, with low beam and with a stove and dimensions 13.3 and all together and the high beam in general 13, I think that’s why the EUR turns off because it doesn’t have enough power, I think There's something wrong with my generator, who knows?

Is there any difference with the gur from the Priora?

Is there any way to do this without drilling holes in the engine shield?

intermediate shaft from a two-wheeler with a steering wheel? And the rest remains standard?

Well done. I only dream about this in my dreams))

nothing complicated, you just need to find the gur himself at an attractive price

I thought that the power steering couldn’t be stuck on a cap, but then I found this. Cool, good job!)

Well, thank you! Info is what you need. ! I'll install it for myself.

The other day I bought myself a rack with power steering and a pump, everything is almost new for 4.5 I got this pleasure. I would like to know more about the brackets

Could you post pictures of where and how I secured the tank... and I can’t tighten the belt, what’s the easiest way to do this? and I would also like to surprise you with how you laid the return line

the return line on the right side is secured to the standard bolts of the steering rack boot on top of the heater hoses, the reservoir is secured on an additional support by turning the bracket over and sawing off the excess, the belt is installed like this: you put the generator on, pass the belt and pulley through it, take the steering wheel in your hands and pass it through it belt and pull it with your hands until the steering wheel falls into place; if you put the 940 in, it will whistle!

Could you post pictures of where and how I secured the tank... and I can’t tighten the belt, what’s the easiest way to do this? and I would also like to surprise you with how you laid the return line

I'll take some pictures tomorrow and try to add them

Installation process

When installing power steering, it is advisable that the gearbox be removed - this makes it much more convenient to work. Because if everything remains in place, then you will have to widen the left window of the tie rod as much as possible and install the rack without feed tubes, screwing it in place - quite difficult.

Then part of the right TV stand is cut off so that the generator can be comfortably placed. The bushings are inserted into the generator belt tensioner. The excess is cut off. Next, we install the bracket for the power steering pump on a VAZ 2114 with a pre-screwed pump, tighten the pressure supply hose and attach a gas-oil-resistant hose, which is tightened with a clamp.

The belt is installed and tightened. Then you need to try on the rack and cut out such a part of the engine shield so that the steering rack shaft has a small gap relative to the steering shaft, pipes, and engine shield.

Next we install it in place. All that remains is to fill the fluid, bleed the system, and start it.

How to install electric power steering on Samara-2 and is it worth it?

VAZ 2114 cars are supplied for sale with steering systems that allow the installation of a hydraulic or electric power steering wheel. The EUR is a unit used to ensure smoother and, importantly, comfortable driving by easily turning the steering wheel. You can learn more about how to install the EUR on a VAZ 2114 from this material.

Installation of EUR

How much does this pleasure cost?
And where can I get it? Ivan, this pleasure costs about 16 thousand rubles.

I bought everything, who can install it?

Does Samara 2 have its own EUR or can it be installed from Kalina?

Hello Ivan! Which EUR kit should I buy for Priopa or Kalina?

If noticeable scratches appear on the body of your car, do not rush to have the car repainted at an auto service center. Small paint chips, cracks, scuffs and scratches can be repaired yourself using a regular can of paint.

A story article that talks about how a guy repaired the heater of a BAZ 2110. From it you will learn why the heater in this car can malfunction, how it can be repaired repair, and why it is better to immediately contact a car service.

The article will be useful to owners of the VAZ 2109. It is dedicated to repairing the gearbox. Here it is explained how the malfunction occurs, typical problems and how to fix them. You will learn how to determine that the oil has expired.

Electric power steering on the VAZ-2114 is installed only by the owners; none of the cars were equipped with such devices from the factory. But to increase comfort and improve control, motorists install electric amplifiers from Priora or Kalina.

Minor difficulties may arise during installation. But it will be much more difficult to pass the technical inspection. Essentially, you are tampering with the steering design, which is strictly prohibited by traffic rules. The driver has no right to make changes to either the steering or the brake system.

The feasibility of installing EUR

Does it make sense to install power steering (power steering) or power steering on the “four”? In this case, it is impossible to give a universal answer, since it is unique for each motorist. Of course, with power steering or electric power steering, the process of turning the steering wheel will be easier, making driving more comfortable. But there is another side to the issue - firstly, the cost of the power steering or electric power steering kit, as well as the rather complicated installation of the system yourself. In general, it’s up to you to decide, but if you decide to install an electric booster on your car, we will help you with the installation.

Installation kit for electric power steering for the "four"

Installation process

As you know, all foreign-made cars are equipped with power steering, which is initially included in the basic configuration of the car. But with the domestic auto industry, not everything is so simple. So, almost all cars, on the contrary, are not equipped with this design, and the function comes as an additional option, for some money.

EUR or power steering - which is better to choose for a VAZ-2114?

So, should you install a hydraulic booster or an electric booster? This question plagues many motorists. Of course, in all respects, the EUR is inferior to the power steering, but there is one that negates all the advantages of the “hydrika”. This indicator is the price.

Detailed Installation Guide

So, if you decide to install electric power steering on a VAZ 2114, then you need to take into account that you will also have to replace the steering column itself. In particular, instead of a standard device, you will need to install a column with an electric drive; accordingly, our repair process will begin with the wiring. You will need to deal with all the connectors and connectors, because you must do everything beautifully, without any twisting of the wires. The block has a special terminal that you will need to remove and then install it on the connector in the harness.

The free terminal of this connector is installed in the place where the standard wiring ran; no special harnesses or adapters are required for this. You only need to connect two 4 square cables to the battery. To ensure the safety of this section of the electrical circuit, it is additionally necessary to install a 50 ampere safety element.

Next, using the so-called weak current, that is, not a power wire, you need to connect to the following elements:

• tachometer, used to display the number of revolutions of the engine crankshaft;
• a speed sensor used to indicate the speed of the vehicle;
• mass, that is, the car body;
• diagnostic K-line;
• as well as to the control light (the author of the video about installing the unit at home is the sokur64 channel).

After completing these steps, you will need to diagnose the presence of a tachometer signal, as well as a speedometer.

If there are signals, then the further installation procedure is as follows:

1. The plastic casing on the steering column, where the switches are installed, as well as the ignition switch, is dismantled. To do this, you need to unscrew all the bolts that secure the protective cover.
2. Then you need to unscrew the screw installed on the rail and dismantle it. At this point, you will need to determine how much the size of the assembly installed during production differs from the size that will be used.
3. At the next stage, the shaft is mounted directly on the electric amplifier. After this, the shaft itself must be fixed at the installation site.
4. The next step is to configure the electrical circuit. It is necessary to run two wires from the vehicle interior to the battery; alternatively, this can be done through the left fender. To do this, you must first dismantle the expansion tank of the washer system, and then, using the hardest and thickest wire, stretch it. You need to try to get to the engine compartment.
5. When the end of the wire appears in the engine compartment, you need to attach the wiring to it. Next, both wires will need to be pulled out along with the wire itself.
6. Having completed all these steps, we proceed to one of the main steps - connecting the electric amplifier electronics. Under the dashboard in the “four” there is a special red block, inside of which there is an orange cable. The EUR contact itself must be connected to this wire. The same actions are performed with the gray wire.
7. Then the power ends are connected. Pink and black wires are connected to the battery, pink to the positive terminal, black to the negative. At this point, the installation process can be considered complete. Check the functionality of the installed system and, if necessary, adjust the device.

Change of oil

So, opening the hood we can see the first and most noticeable element, which includes the power steering. In general, the remaining elements fit into the steering gear housing and are no longer distributed throughout the engine compartment and car body. We will also immediately need some kind of container into which we will drain the already used liquid. Anything can fit, even a bucket, even a canister. We do not recommend that you throw away the drained oil; it will be quite useful in some minor repairs just for lubrication. Under no circumstances should you add it to the already new oil of your VAZ 2114: the oil must be homogeneous. You also need to let the car engine cool down so that everything cools down and if the oil gets on your hands, it doesn’t burn your skin.

Now we need to drain the oil from the expansion tank. To do this, you need to uncork the lid and carefully pull out the hose that sticks out at the bottom of the tank.

In its place, you immediately need to insert the hose that is lowered into the container that we prepared in advance to drain the already used liquid. Now, under the influence of gravity, the oil will slowly ooze into our container.

The next step is to start the engine, and you immediately need to start turning the steering wheel from side to side so that the pump begins to pump oil through the system through the tank, and little of it will be poured into the container. This procedure must be done until the power steering stops working and the steering wheel stops moving. Thus, it turned out that there was no fluid left in the steering system of the VAZ 2114.

Now you need to immediately proceed to pouring new oil. We must turn off the engine and return to its place the hose that was originally at the bottom of the tank. Fill two-thirds of the oil tank level and start the engine. Now you need to turn the steering wheel again from side to side so that the power steering is pumped with oil and the air is released from the system.

You also need to leave the tank lid open to allow air to escape. As the liquid leaves the tank, we will need to add oil. You will have to turn the steering wheel until the oil stops leaving, after which you need to tightly seal the tank.

That's all, this is exactly how the working fluid is replaced in the amplifier of a VAZ 2114 car. As you can see, there is nothing complicated about it, you can easily do it yourself and even without help. The oil must be selected carefully so that it is ideally suited to the design of this car.

The nuances of adjusting the steering wheel position

If you are not satisfied with the position of the steering wheel or its height, this can be corrected by adjustment. To do this, it is necessary to grind the edges of the industrial shaft to the required dimensions or install gaskets between the device body and the plate. When making adjustments, you must remember that the EUR itself is automatically turned off when the vehicle speed exceeds 50 km/h.

Price issue

The cost of electric power steering for a VAZ 2114 car may vary, depending on the store where it is purchased, as well as the region of the country. On average, the price for a complete system set varies around 22-24 thousand rubles. On the Internet, you can search for stores where the EUR kit is sold on promotions - with a discount from the seller, you can purchase the unit for 20 thousand rubles.

Installation and connection of the EUR steering wheel from Priora in VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115

I rode my father’s viburnum and realized that there was no escaping progress, especially since I plan to change the rack by 3.2, or even 2.5 turns, and without an amplifier there will be no life at all. I bought it at Stinger. The kit includes everything you need: 1. The amplifier itself (a new model, not glitchy in short). 2. Adapter. 3. Steering shaft. 4. Wiring. From myself: 1. I don’t see any problems with the mechanics. 2. For electrical purposes, you need to look for a connection diagram.

I started to disassemble: 1. Removed the steering casing (nothing complicated). 2. Disconnected and removed all switches (wipers and lights). 3. Removed the ignition switch (the first problem is that you need to unscrew the bolts with a chisel, since there are no edges (!). 4. Use a chisel to straighten the clamp securing the shaft and steering rack (at the engine shield). 5. Use a chisel to unscrew the two bolts securing the steering column (also quite inconvenient). the adapter is attached, I'll clamp it in a vice and knock it out through the sleeve). 10. Measured so that only a little bit came out of the nut and sawed it off (you can use a grinder, I made do with a saw and a file). EUR to the adapter (four nuts for 13 plus growers). 14. Replaced the ignition switch (I used hex bolts, it’s more convenient).

Photo: 1. Standard steering column without casing. 2. Steering column mount. 3. EUR in place).

Mechanically: I bought: 1. Adapter for steering wheel (for Priora). 2. Steering column switch block (also from Priora) 3. Steering column cover from Priora (not yet available). I installed everything, although I haven’t figured out the sound signal yet, but I’ll do that one of these days)). Electrics: 1. Extended the power wires to the battery (plus with a fuse, minus just a wire). 2. Tightened the ground (black thin wire for controlling the power steering, screwed under the instrument cluster). 3. Connected the wires to the instrument cluster. 3.1. The orange wire from the red block to the first from the EUR block is double yellow-red (photo 2). 3.2 Gray + yellow wires from the red block to the third from the EUR-blue block (photo 4). 3.3 Brown-red from the white block to the second block from the EUR-brown block (photo 3). In photo 5 from bottom to top: 1. Yellow-red. 2. Brown. 3. Blue. 3.4 There are also wires there, for k-line and so on, I didn’t connect them (wiring for Priora is not provided in Samara). 4. Collected everything.

Now the feelings: 1. Yes, everything is super 2. At low speeds it’s just a fairy tale) 3. As the speed increases, it turns off and the car steers as before (that is, clear and intelligible feedback). 4. Unlike the early Kalinovsky EURs, this one, when turned off, does not betray its presence in any way (I don’t feel it at all).

Disadvantages: 1. Because of the adapter, the steering wheel dropped (not fatal, but still). 2. The bullet column has lengthened, the steering wheel has become closer to the driver (in principle, everything can be treated by adjusting the seat and I, at 186 cm, did not experience any inconvenience). 3. The steering wheel covers the instrument cluster.

To the diagram: 1. Power steering harness; 2. EURU power supply circuit fuse; 3. Diagnostic contacts of the EURU harness; 4. EURU; 5,6,7 - connecting blocks of the electrical power steering harness, connected to the wires of the instrument panel harness, disconnected from the blocks to the instrument cluster; 8. Block (red) of the instrument panel harness to the instrument cluster; 9. Block (white) of the instrument panel harness to the instrument cluster; 10. Alarm block; 11. Ground terminal.

From myself: THE COLOR OF THE EUR WIRES MAY DIFFER.

1. Button: well, it’s not realistic to put it in its regular place, so I had to think about it. The task was to save the button, not to cut the wiring and place it in a convenient place - as a result, it is now on the panel. I am comfortable. 2. Tilt of the steering column: I placed washers under the far fasteners (which are closer to the engine compartment) of the EUR with an adapter, with them the angle of the steering column changed and the steering wheel stopped blocking the instrument cluster

Installation of steering rod opening plugs in VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115

I have long dreamed of closing the steering linkage openings, and I came across factory plugs in a store.

What is needed for installation

Kit for installing electric power steering on a VAZ-2114

Before you begin installation, you need to assemble all the necessary equipment. What does a motorist need in this case:

• Electric booster.
• Control block.
• Promval.
• Wiring.

Amplifier control unit

Electric amplifier installation process

Now that everything is ready, you can proceed directly to the process of installing the electric power steering on the car. Before starting the procedure, it is worth noting that the steering column wiring needs to be replaced. In this case, there will be no wire cutting or twisting. Everything connects to standard terminals.

We insert the free terminal of the harness exactly into the place where the standard wire was. You don't need a special harness for this. We connect two wires with a cross-section of 4 squares to the battery. It is imperative to install a 50A fuse. The “weak point” will connect to the tachometer, speed sensor, ground, K-line and wiring to the warning lamp.

So, everything has been prepared, and now you can proceed directly to the process of installing the EUR. Let's look at the step-by-step installation instructions:

1. Remove the negative terminal from the battery.
2. Remove the steering wheel.
3. We dismantle the steering column trim casing.
4. Having disconnected the wires, we remove the switches and the ignition switch.
5. Having unscrewed the fasteners, we dismantle the steering shaft.
6. Now you need to install the shaft on the electric booster.
7. The next step is setting up the wiring, which is not as difficult as it seems at first glance.
8. We pull 2 ​​wires from the passenger compartment to the battery. Many people recommend doing this inside the left wing. For greater convenience, it is recommended to remove the following elements: windshield washer reservoir, battery and battery shelf.
9. We make fastenings for the electric power steering.
10. We install the part into the seat and fix it with nuts.
11. The final stage of installation is connecting the EUR electronics. There is a red connector under the instrument panel with an orange wire in it. It is to this that you need to connect the electric amplifier. Exactly with the previous step, you need to connect to the gray wire.
12. Now, in order for the electric amplifier to work, you need to connect to the plus and minus.
13. The installation procedure for the EUR is complete and if everything is done correctly and accurately, then everything will work.
14. The rest of the assembly is carried out in the reverse order and according to the technical diagrams.

Steering wheel adjustment

Also, if after installation the position of the steering wheel is inconvenient and the electric power steering is too low or high, then this inconvenience can be slightly corrected by adjustment. This can be done by grinding off the edges of the shaft or by additionally installing gaskets and bushings.

But don’t despair and get upset because at this speed you can’t feel in the controls whether this function is on or off.

Product selection

Comparison of the standard steering column and with electric power steering

2172-3450008 – original catalog number of the electric power steering, which is intended for installation on the VAZ-2114. So, this is the most suitable option in this case. The average cost is about 20,000 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages of installing EUR on a car

All issues of selection and installation have been considered, but I would also like to tell you about the advantages of an electric amplifier over a power steering:

• Maintenance takes less time and has much lower requirements. So, there is no need to monitor the oil and connections.
• Unlike power steering, the electric booster does not need to be heated in winter, in cold weather.
• Installing an EUR is much easier and cheaper than a hydraulic booster.
• High level of reliability.
• Product cost. EUR is several times cheaper than power steering.

Tell me, kladperm! Don't you have enough problems with the VAZ-2114? and you want to make your life even more difficult?

. Theoretically, the steering rack should be different. I don’t presume to say this in relation to the TAZ. But if we’re going to install it, then it’s an electric booster!

Power steering in VAZ 2114

The VAZ 2114 car is one of the most used and purchased today. This is a modification of the same “nine” that became widespread right from the release of the first series from the factory assembly line. The same car received a lot of new products at its disposal: from an injection engine and a soft suspension to softly comfortable seats.

There is also power steering, it is designed to help the driver control the car and reduce fatigue when traveling long distances.

VAZ 2114

Types of devices

Power steering is a device with which the working fluid creates pressure on the steering rack. Due to this, the driver needs to apply much less force to the steering wheel to move it. There are several types of such equipment, let's look at the main disadvantages of all other models of amplifiers and it will become clear why the power steering was installed on the VAZ 2114, and, in general, on most modern cars. In addition to this, there are such options in the world:

• Electric.
• Pneumatic.
• Mechanical.

The first option is next after the hydraulic one in terms of its prevalence. Its action is based on the use of magnetic forces to rotate the steering axis. But there is also a noticeable disadvantage here - the energy consumption of the battery, which immediately begins to affect the fuel consumption of the car.

The pneumatic one is very complex; there are a lot of elements: a cylinder, a compressor, pipelines and pipes, a reinforcing mechanism, etc. This entire design is very unreliable and the slightest malfunction in the operation of at least one component leads to the absence of an effect as such. The mechanical amplifier looks like a set of different gears in the body and its effect is achieved due to a changed rotation ratio, here there is minimal gain.

Why not hydraulic booster?

The electric power steering on the VAZ-2114, the installation description of which will be given below, has a number of advantages when compared with hydraulic devices. The hydraulic booster requires a pump that creates pressure to operate the steering wheel. And these are already unnecessary elements in the design.

The condition of the pump must be constantly monitored; leaks may appear in it, which will lead to failure of the power steering. The electric device is much simpler, its service life is very long, it is undemanding in maintenance, which will be very useful for lazy drivers. And most importantly, the cost of an electric amplifier is almost half as much. And when operating a car there are no costs at all.
