Is it worth to repair the VAZ-2110 with your own hands?

Probably, everyone at car purchase thought about cost of repair and spare parts, and also about a place where it will be possible to make repair. It so happened that the domestic automobile industry produces very simple machines. And this has its advantages. Such a car can easily be repaired by yourself, save money on the services of service centers and simply in practice gain experience in replacing the units. However, it is not always possible for us to repair the VAZ-2110 with our own hands. In some cases, specialists can not do without the help of specialists. So, let's look at the moments when it's worth repairing the VAZ-2110 with your own hands, and in which you do not.

First, let's look at the area of vehicle maintenance . To date, the following categories of TOs are distinguished:

• Diagnosis of aggregates.
• Repairs.
• Adjustment.

Depending on the design and purpose of a particular part, this process can be done independently or with the help of specialists. In some cases, when you manufacture repairs on your VAZ-2110 yourself, you need to apply special equipment. Typically, these tools are used in complex restorative work (for example, when repairing the body or ICE).

VAZ-2110: repair by own hands without the help of specialists

So what kind of work can be attributed to those that do not require the help of professionals? There are actually a lot of them. The main ones are:

• Replacement of engine and transmission oils.
• Headlights for main and fog lights.
• Repair of the VAZ-2110 generator with own hands (replacement of brushes, bearings, windings, etc.).
• Minor body repair. This includes the removal of scratches and minor dents. This is puttying, priming and painting.
• Replacement of air and fuel filters.
• Dismantling and installing brake pads.
• Charging the battery.
• Replacement of mass flow sensors and coolant.
• Replacement of gaskets and bearings.
• Adding brake and cooling liquids.

However, despite the fact that all these works can be done on their own, each requires special tools (at least a minimum set of spanners) and knowledge (the operating manual will be helpful).

And now let's look at the difficult repair of the 2110

With your own hands it is hardly possible to do, for example, the replacement of suspension elements or major engine repairs. In both cases, we would need experience and expensive tools. Also, without special skills and knowledge, it is not possible to replace the bushings, steering rods or timing belt. Although some craftsmen still perform similar repairs in garage conditions. And if you are confident in your abilities, you can easily change all of the above elements.

Conclusion

Proceeding from this, we see that the "ten" in many cases can be repaired independently. But in certain situations we will need to apply a special set of tools. In general, you can repair everything, except for boring the unit and restoring the body and spars. These works require mastery of experience and no less professional equipment.
