It is well known that the 2101 was the first VAZ model, followed by the station wagon, then the 2103 sedan and its modification - 2106. I must say, he won such popularity in Russia that no foreign-made car could dream of, even Toyota Corolla, which produced more than 30 million copies, could not beat the "six".

But, no matter how popular and popular this car is, it has drawbacks, which, unfortunately, include its engine. Now it is not difficult to find the right part, so repairing the VAZ 2106 engine cannot be called problematic. As practice shows, the resource of such a motor is approximately 60,000 km, followed by a "capital". Fortunately, not all parts and components of the car are involved in this procedure, but the overhead of the process is still evident.

Overhaul of the VAZ 2106 engine can be significantly reduced in price if you carry out installation and dismantling work yourself. Of course, you can go further, but not every car owner in the garage, except for a car, has several machines for boring cylinders or grinding crankshaft journals. Of course, for disassembly and troubleshooting, you will also need a certain set of tools, some of which can be safely called unique and specific.

Repair of the VAZ 2106 engine for convenience should be divided into three stages, among which it is necessary to highlight the dismantling, troubleshooting and replacement of parts with subsequent assembly. The first stage involves complete disassembly. It must be remembered that this should be done in a clean workplace, since, for example, dust that can get into the cylinder block will soon stick to oil-greasy surfaces, and after assembly will nullify all work. All parts should be thoroughly washed with kerosene, since no self-respecting specialist will deal with a dirty cylinder block that is completely smeared with fuel oil. In addition, if the "chunker" remains in the engine, it will begin to wash away with clean oil and can clog the entire lubrication system. Again, all the work for nothing.

Repair of the VAZ 2106 engine also implies troubleshooting. To do this, you need a few micrometers, a set of probes and a bore gauge. The first is to measure the neck of the crankshaft and camshaft. The second is the cylinders and camshaft bearings. Probes also need to determine the condition of many parts (their list is quite long).

After determining the wear of parts, cylinder boring and grinding followneck of the crankshaft. Then parts are installed. Particular attention should be paid to the build quality, because it directly affects the repair of the VAZ 2106 engine.

Next, you need to replace consumable fluids. Particular attention must be paid to the oil filter, which must be filled with oil before installation. After that, you need to make sure that the assembly is correct by turning the crankshaft by hand using a crooked starter. Rotation should be tight. If you can’t turn the crankshaft, then you don’t have to tempt fate - it’s better to disassemble the engine again. It is clear that the procedure is not pleasant, but after reassembly, everything will most likely already work. Owners of other models should not despair, because, for example, the overhaul of the VAZ 2109 engine is practically no different.
