Replacing and removing injectors on a VAZ-2112: photos and videos

Injectors for VAZ 2110–2112 cars

Cars of the “tenth” family are equipped with various injection engines, each of which is designed to work with a specific model of injectors. Despite the fact that they have their own “names,” motorists usually use a “folk” classification based on color and thickness. For example: black thin ones.

This simplification usually works, but does not fully guarantee the compatibility of the injector with the engine. To avoid having to contact the chip tuner once again to correct the firmware of the electronic injection control unit, check the part number before purchasing.

Differences between injectors for eight and sixteen valve engines

Among some motorists there is an opinion that the injectors for the “ten” differ depending on the number of engine valves. Others believe that the determining factor is the volume of the cylinders.

Clogged injectors can cause the car to jerk when driving. Details: https://vazweb.ru/desyatka/pitanie/dergaetsya-pri-dvizhenii.html

In reality, neither one nor the other is wrong. The parts must match the engine design, model and firmware of the electronic control unit.

When replacing, it is best to install the same ones that were installed previously. Otherwise, there may be difficulties with startup and operation in transient conditions. To eliminate the shortcomings, you will have to adjust the firmware, which is almost impossible in a garage environment.

In-cylinder fuel injection has been known since the very dawn of the automobile industry. In the early 1890s, the German Rudolf Diesel and the Englishman Herbert Ackroyd-Stewart secured the rights to their own designs for an internal combustion engine running on fuel oil.

Procedure for removing oil injectors

Before you begin removing injectors from any car of the tenth VAZ family, you will need to relieve the pressure in the fuel system. Removing any element that is under pressure in any way can result in personal injury.

How to get rid of excess fuel

To relieve the existing fuel pressure, you need to turn off the fuel pump and exhaust the remaining gasoline:

After this, start the engine and wait until it stalls. It is recommended to turn the ignition on several times to ensure that there is no gasoline left in the system.

Next, you can begin to remove the injectors. It is recommended to prepare the necessary tools in advance:

All elements of the repair kit are usually at hand for any driver

How to remove parts from the engine

To install a new injector, the socket is first thoroughly cleaned of dirt and fuel, and only then can the product be screwed in. It is better to drop a few drops of gasoline onto the rubber ring before installation - this will make the nozzle fit into the mounting hole more easily. All work is then carried out in reverse order.

List of problems with washer nozzles

• Washer fluid does not flow through the nozzle nozzle at all.
• The washer fluid pressure is very weak.
• The jet of liquid supplied is directed to the side and does not provide complete cleaning of the windshield.
• The pump supplying washer fluid or its motor has failed.
• The washer fluid supply tube is damaged.
• The injector has mechanical damage.
• The injector nozzle is clogged with foreign material.
• The nozzle adjustment is incorrect.

What injectors are installed on VAZ 2110–2112 cars

The main advantage of injectors for VAZ cars of the tenth family is that they are interchangeable. There are only two types of sprayers - produced by Bosch and Siemens. And each of them, regardless of marking and year of manufacture, can be replaced with another.

Bosch injectors are traditionally manufactured in black housing

When selecting, there is only one limitation - engine size. 1.5 injectors are not suitable for 1.6 liter engines.

The Siemens injector has a blue tip

Both Bosch and Siemens injectors of any marking can be installed on 8-valve and 16-valve engines.

Replacement or cleaning?

In order to understand what needs to be done with the nozzle, change it or simply clean it, it is better to diagnose them on a special stand. Under such conditions, you can test it in operation under different pressures, and also visually see how tightly it closes, and whether it is “snotty.”

If any of the injectors needs to be replaced, then you should buy a new one with exactly the same part number as the old one. Also, during installation of cleaned injectors, all O-rings should be replaced (2 pieces on each injector - approx.).

Installation is carried out strictly in the reverse order, similar to the removal procedure.

Video about cleaning injectors

Attention! When working with injectors, observe all fire safety measures, since gasoline vapors are highly flammable and pose a high fire hazard.

What are injectors?

An injector is a special mechanical sprayer located in the “head” of the engine, through which fuel is supplied to the cylinders under high pressure.

Injector malfunctions

Among the most common causes of injector failure may be the following:

• The injector nozzle is coked - in this case, increased fuel consumption may be observed, vehicle dynamics will decrease, and engine starting will be difficult at subzero ambient temperatures. Otherwise there are no differences.
• The injector valve does not close hermetically (“the injector is snotty” - note) - here there may be increased fuel consumption, “tripleting” and increased detonation (about checking the knock sensor here), unstable idling.
• Valve sticking - engine troubles. In order to diagnose it, with the engine running, turn off the power supply to each injector in turn. With a non-working injector, no changes in engine operation will be observed, but with a working injector, the speed will drop.

If you find a non-working injector on your car, or they need cleaning, you need to know how to properly dismantle them. You could already read more about this above.

When is it time to change injectors?

Many car enthusiasts are confident that it is necessary to clean the injector only within the period specified in the user manual. But the manufacturer, when indicating the mileage, did not take into account all the details. As a rule, not all of us fill in fuel that meets the requirements of the European standard, so the injection system in the car suffers, or more precisely, the nozzles in the injector. Replacing the injectors will help save the situation. Important! When dismantling the injectors, it may be necessary to replace the seals along with the ramp. And this procedure is long and difficult.

Repair

Before removing the injectors from the dismantled rack, it is advisable to check their functionality. To check you will need:

Functionality check

Place the rack over the measuring cups

The shape of the cloud should be approximately the same for all nozzles

After the war, Germany received a ban on the development of injectors for aircraft engines. And engineers began adapting direct injection systems for passenger cars, discovering another important advantage compared to carburetors - efficiency.

Replacement or flushing?

Some problems can be eliminated by cleaning and flushing. Others are “treated” only by replacement.

Table: problems with injectors

In these cases, flushing is not a panacea. This method should be used taking into account the mileage and quality of service during operation.

During operation, the injector nozzles inevitably become coked and clogged with resinous deposits. The picture is aggravated by low-quality fuel, which can introduce additional pollutants.

For some time, fuel atomizers continue to operate without any visible changes, but sooner or later contaminants accumulate, changing the shape of the spray and reducing performance.

Method for replacing injectors on 8- and 16-valve engines

Car owners cannot always diagnose faults in the fuel system. Often, failures in engine operation or unstable idle speed can be explained by completely different reasons, and not just interruptions in the fuel supply. If all car systems are operating normally, then the following symptoms will directly indicate injector problems:

• failures in engine operation;
• increased fuel consumption;
• instability of idle speed;
• loss of power;
• black exhaust gas, etc.

Dismantling

Before replacing or cleaning the injectors, they will need to be removed from the fuel rail. To achieve this, the following activities are carried out:

After dismantling the elements, be sure to close the seats to prevent debris and other objects from getting in, and place the nozzles themselves on a table or floor, after laying down a dry rag.

Here you can decide whether to change or clean the elements of the fuel system. If replacement is required, install new injectors in place of the old ones and follow the assembly procedure.

Cleaning

Here proceed as follows.

Homemade cleaning device

Before replacing the cleaned injector, check its actual condition.

Examination

To check you need:

Injectors cannot be repaired or disassembled into parts to restore functionality. If the resistance and tightness are broken, the devices must be replaced with new ones.

Cleaning the injectors is quite easy if you properly construct the device for this procedure. If you don’t have such skills, contact a good car service center.

Repair of injectors VAZ 2110–2112

Repairing injectors means cleaning the product and replacing the O-rings. Simple measures to restore the functionality of the injectors can significantly increase the car’s power and make cold starts easier. Injector repair is possible in the following cases:

• there are no visible deformations on the body;
• the nozzle has not yet exhausted its service life;
• the car owner wants to optimize the operation of the power unit.

In all other cases (cracks and deformations, long service life), it is recommended to replace the nozzles with new ones.

Removing the fuel rail and injectors.

You will need: screwdrivers with flat and Phillips blades, a socket wrench (head) “10”, a wrench “17” (two), a hex wrench “5”.

1. Reduce the pressure in the power system (see “Reducing pressure in the power system”).

2. Open the hood and remove the wire from the “–” terminal of the battery.

3. Move (without disconnecting the throttle assembly) the intake manifold from the cylinder head (see “Replacing the O-rings of the intake manifold of engine model 21124”).

4. Press the latch with your fingers and disconnect the fuel rail wiring harness block.
