Repair the GAZ-3110 with your own hands. Features that everyone should know

At the Gorky Automobile Plant, from 1996 to 2005, GAZ-3110 Volga cars were produced. Their production has already stopped, but today there are many such vehicles on the road, and it is important for their owners to know about the repair and operation of the GAZ-3110. If there are malfunctions, there is always an option to contact the car service, but the warranty for these cars has long ended, and any repairs will not be expensive. Therefore, many car owners prefer to repair the GAZ-3110 with their own hands.

Operation of a car

In order to reduce the risk of damage, it is important to properly operate the car. An important role is played by warming up the engine before the trip, and at the first minutes of the movement, speeding and switching to higher gear are undesirable. It is necessary to allow time for the oil to warm up, thus ensuring sufficient lubrication, without overloading the units and assemblies. This is especially important in the winter.

During the trip, you need to keep track of the instrument reading and the overall condition of the car. If there are no specific sounds, you should try to find out their cause and fix the problem. You can not allow the engine to run for a long time in the extreme mode, monitor the high-speed mode, especially if the roads are badly covered - so quickly wears the suspension. It is necessary to try to foresee the situation on the road, so that the traffic is smooth, without sudden acceleration and braking.

Timely lubrication of parts will reduce the load on the units of the car, that is, extend the service life. We should not forget about the timely and full maintenance. First of all, this is a change of oil, cooling and brake fluids.

If the timing of maintenance is exceeded, the unit must work on contaminated liquids, thereby reducing their service life. It is also important to change the brake pads in time, without unduly worn them. For detailed acquaintance with the list and terms of routine maintenance it is necessary to address to the instruction.

General information on repair

Today, repairs on the GAZ-3110 are very often performed independently, it saves the budget, and the search for necessary information will not be difficult.

But before you start repair yourself, it is important to properly diagnose, and do it as quickly as possible, with the first faults of the car. For example, repairing the front suspension GAZ-3110 will cost much less when the fault is detected in the early stages, and not when the unit is completely out of order. Thus, do not ignore the "first bells" of malfunctions.

By the way, drivers usually repair the suspension of the GAZ-3110 themselves, as it is not difficult to assemble and disassemble this unit. The main thing is to replace all worn out items with new ones, as it is impossible to fix and weld here.

The same goes for the stove. As a rule, it starts to work incorrectly because of the leaking radiator. It is desirable to replace it immediately.

Of course, repair of the GAZ-3110 with its own hands is not always possible. For example, a generator or a battery should be repaired by specialists, since professional tools, special devices and test stands can not be avoided here.

Engine repair

Often problems with the car are associated with the engine. GAZ-3110 "Volga" was produced with a carburetor (ZMZ-402) and an injector (ZMZ-406) engines.

Repair of GAZ-3110 engines is practical in one way, because the motors are similar, so consider the example of ZMZ-406.

Engine repair is a responsible and serious operation that requires a qualified approach. But if there is a great desire and the corresponding knowledge, this event can be done on its own.

Repair of the GAZ-3110 406 engine begins with the preparation of tools and a platform for unfolding the elements. The platform is needed in order to expand all the parts in order, because it is so much more convenient and faster to collect the motor back.

For convenience, first remove the hood and wiper panel, and protect the front wings from damage by covering them with suitable material. Disassembly can be done in any order. For example, first you can remove all the hinged parts, then with maximum ease to take out all the remaining.

After that, you need to inspect the space under the hood and thoroughly wash it with an iron brush and kerosene or gasoline.

Crankshaft and block should be measured, perhaps a boring is needed here. It is advisable to do this in a specialized workshop. Special inspection does not interfere with both the flywheel and the clutch basket. The flywheel experts will check for heartbeat and, if necessary, carry out the trim, balancing with the crankshaft and the basket. For gas, these are very useful and necessary activities.

Also an important activity will be the purchase of connecting rod and core liners, rings and pistons in size. After boring, the parts must be rinsed and blown. Using 14 hexahedrons, unscrew the plugs of the dirt traps, carefully clean everything and return them back.

The head of the cylinder block must be checked for fitting to the unit, check the guides and valves, and replace the oil removable caps. In order not to engage in grinding all the available 16 valves, you can take the head to a specialized workshop.

When all the above activities are completed, the engine can be assembled.

Repair of suspension

When repairing the GAZ-3110 Volga, various problems with other units and nodes are possible. As a rule, when repairing the transmission and suspension, replace all the failed parts, cleaning the contacts before it. Let's consider more in detail admissible breakages and repair of a forward suspension bracket GAZ-3110.

The front suspension is a rather complicated design. If there is a knock or an outside noise, then you need to perform diagnostics to prevent unexpected breakdowns.

Problems can be the following:

1. Appearance of noise and knocking at the bottom of the car GAZ-3110. Repair at the same time will vary depending on the reason:

• The shock absorber broke - it needs to be changed.
• Rubber seals were worn, which are used in the connections of some elements - they need to be replaced.
• The hinges of the levers have worn out - a replacement is also required.
• Worn ball support - replace the racks with the hinges.
• Appearance of a backlash in wheel bearings - it is necessary to adjust a backlash, to replace bearings.
• The arc of the spring broke - to replace the old spring with a new spring.

2. The appearance of a squeak at the bottom of the car - the problem of making joints of the lever, you will need to replace the hinges.

3. The angle of installation of the front wheel has ceased to be regulated:

• Deformation of the crosspiece from a strong impact - you can replace the part.
• The hinge has worn out - replacement is also required.
• Breakage of the spar, the lever of a suspension bracket or a rotary fist - to repair. Or replace damaged items.

4. The car leads to the side while driving:

• The difference in pressure in the wheels - you need to measure the pressure and set the same.
• The angle of wheel alignment is lost - it is necessary to adjust competently.
• Deformation or damage to the lever and rotary knuckle - repair or replace faulty parts.
• Different spring stiffness - replace springs with equivalent ones.

This is the main problem of the front suspension of its repair on the GAZ-3110.

Repair of power steering

As already mentioned above, some works can be easily carried out independently. Such repairs include the repair of the GAZ-3110 GUR. Basically, all the problems with the power steering and its incorrect operation are due to the malfunction of the power steering belt. In this case, it will have to be replaced.

The power-assisted steering belt is a very important detail, albeit a small one. It is recommended to change it every 50 thousand km. But here much will depend on the conditions of the car. To replace this part will not be a big deal, the main thing is, when installing the belt, pull it correctly.

In order to repair the GUR in time, you can focus on recommendations for mileage, and sometimes inspect the site for defects.

Possible malfunctions of a steering and their elimination

1. The steering wheel shifts on the steering wheel. The causes of the malfunction may be as follows:

• The bearings of the steering shaft have worn-they need to be replaced,
• The steering column bolts are loose, tighten the bolts.

2. Increase the free travel of the steering wheel. This happens because of:

• Incorrect adjustment of the lateral backlash of the steering mechanism - adjustment of a lateral backlash of the mechanism,
• Disturbance of adjustment of the ball joints of the steering trapezoid - adjustment of the ball joints,
• Wear of the bushing shaft bushings - replacement of the crankcase mechanism or bushings,
• Loosening nuts fixing the bipod or steering wheel - tighten the nuts.

3. Seizes the steering mechanism. Causes:

• In the incorrect adjustment of the side clearance of the mechanism - adjustment of the side gap,
• Worn roller or worm - replacement of worn parts.

4. Leaks oil from the crankcase of the mechanism. Causes:

• Worn or damaged working lip of the stuffing box - replacement of defective glands,
• Increasing the oil level - restoring the required oil level,
• Damaged gaskets or loosened crankcase cover bolts, replacement of the gasket or tightening of the bolts is required.

5. Occurrence of extraneous sounds in the steering mechanism. Causes:

• There is no oil in the crankcase - eliminating the cause of leaking oil and pouring a new one,
• The working surfaces of the roller and the worm are destroyed - replacement of defective parts.

6. The tires of the front wheels were worn (spots appeared):

• Weakened the fastening of the steering parts - checking and tightening the parts,
• The appearance of play in the ball joints of the steering trapezium - adjustment and replacement of ball joints,
• Dropped tire pressure - setting the normal pressure,
• Adjustment of the steering mechanism is required.

7. The appearance of vibration and shocks, palpable on the steering wheel:

• Adjustment of the steering mechanism is required,
• Loosened the nuts of the forks in the universal joint - you need to tighten the fastening nuts,
• The appearance of play in the ball joints of the steering trapezium - adjustment and replacement of ball joints,
• Appearance of a backlash of a finger of the lever in an arm-replacement of the worn out plugs,
• Weakened fastening of details of the mechanism of a steering - check and an inhaling of the weakened fastenings.

Repair of steering gear

Self repair of the GAZ-3110 helmsman is to disassemble the mechanism, check the technical condition of the parts and reverse the assembly.

Disassembly

Disassembly includes the following stages:

• Removal of the steering mechanism from the car and its clamping in soft vice,
• Removal of clamps and rings of fastening of covers of рейки the steering mechanism,
• Removal of protective covers,
• Removal of internal tips with spherical rods of external tips,
• Removal of the counter nut of the rack stop using the spanner,
• Removal of a nut of an emphasis and a spring,
• With the help of special tongs, the extraction of the abutment from the crankcase (before this it is necessary to shift the stop by turning the gear clockwise)
• Removing the protective cap from the gear,
• Having turned a nut, extraction from картера gear wheels together with the ball bearing,
• Removal of the thrust ring and pressing of the ball bearing with the pinion shaft,
• Removal of a rack of the steering mechanism,
• Removing the thrust ring of the bushing and removing the bushing of the lath with the ring.

After the mechanism is dismantled, you need to check the technical state of the parts:

• Rinse all parts (metal) and the crankcase cavity of the mechanism with kerosene, rinse all rubber parts with warm water and wipe with a rag,
• Carefully inspect all working surfaces of gears and slats for wear and damage (scuffing, risks), with minor damages can be handled independently by taking a fine-grained sandpaper or velvet file, badly damaged and worn out parts will have to be replaced,
• The ball bearing must be checked for seizing, the rotation must be free, and all rings, balls, clips and rollers must be checked - there should be no signs of wear and seizure, if there is any doubt, the bearings should be replaced,
• It is necessary to check the protective covers of the rail, the external tips, the cap, the cuff of the gear and the bushing of the lath, with cracks, tears or loose fitting of the parts, they must be replaced with new ones,
• Check ball joint clearances for backlash, dirt, corrosion, replace them.

After checking, we collect the mechanism back. Assembly is in the reverse order, pre-lubricating the parts with special grease. More details of the assembly process can be found in the GAZ-3110 repair manual.

Ignition system repair

Very often, problems are caused by oxidation of contacts in the system. As a result, the network is broken and the engine is malfunctioning.

To check the ignition system, you need to disconnect one high-voltage wire from the candle and bring it closer to the mass (any place on the block or body, protected from paint) by 6-8 mm.

In order not to expose yourself to danger, the wire can be fixed with the help of handy dry materials (for example, wooden ones). When the engine is cranked by a starter, a spark should appear, if it is not present, the fault is connected to low or high voltage circuits. Special equipment can help to find a malfunction: voltmeter, ohmmeter, special stroboscope. If they are not present, then the low voltage circuit is checked using an automotive bulb. It is important to remember that the electrical circuit after the ignition is checked when the ignition is switched on. You need to start from the battery and go throughout the low voltage circuit. At the point where there is no voltage, it is necessary to clean the ends of the wires and the connection surface. If the position is not corrected, the wire or the device installed before the point is faulty.

The high voltage circuit must be cleaned of dirt and wiped off all wires. Check all wires for tight contact with candles and coil sockets. The center wire should be checked for a spark, if it is not there, then a malfunction in the ignition coil, it will have to be replaced. In the event that a spark appears after the coil, you need to check the central electrode, slider and contacts.

Problems in the power system

In case of poor fuel supply, first of all, it is necessary to check the gas pipeline for the formation of a steam plug (it often occurs in hot weather and blocks the access of fuel). This problem is solved easily - you can cool the pipeline with a wet rag or just wait for the engine to cool down. In winter, the problem may be due to the freezing of the water that has got into the fuel, it is possible to heat the gas pipeline with the help of hot water.

If you do not hear the buzz of the gasoline pump, then it is possible to burn the fuse (replacement will be required) or the failure of the gasoline pump itself. It can be sorted or replaced.

To check the operation of the gasoline pump, it is necessary to detach the fuel hose from the carburetor and lower it into a clean container. When the starter starts, a gasoline should run from the hose. If this does not happen, the diaphragm or pump valves may be damaged.

Thus, repair of GAZ-3110 is possible and in "garage conditions" with the appropriate skills and tools.
