Replacing antifreeze on Niva 21214 machines, according to the manufacturer's recommendation, should be carried out at a periodicity of every 3 years, or after 60,000 mileage. When operating in difficult conditions, it is advisable to work more often - after 30-40 thousand kilometers.

What antifreeze and how much to fill in Niva-21214?

When choosing a coolant for Niva 21214, it is worth navigating on the manufacturer's recommendation. If you proceed from the practice of use, the following types of antifreezes can be used:

• For machines that were released in 2009, the Red Round G12 + will suit. Optimal options for Zerex G, Vag, Frostschutzmittel A, as well as FEBI.
• For auto Niva 21214, produced after 2010, it is worth using antifreeze class G12 ++ red. Here are the most popular manufacturers - Castrol Radicool Si, Motul, Freecor QR, Freecor QR, FEBI and others.

Other cooling fluids - synthek, Cool Stream (Premium and Standard), as well as TC Felix, also showed well.

The replacement of antifreeze should be made not only in the above periods, but in the case of the appearance of a reddish shade. This indicates a deterioration in the composition of the coolant or presence, in the cooling system, fake.

The optimal antifreeze volume required to refill the system is 10.7 liters.

Replacement process

Work is made only on the cooled engine and on a flat area (pit, overpass). If the horizontal portion failed to find, a slight lift of the car front is allowed.

Before merge the antifreeze, discard the "minus" terminal with the battery, and also remove the protection from the motor (if installed). After, prepare the necessary tool. To replace antifreeze on the Niva 21214 car, the keys to the "fifteen", the head on the "thirteen" with the gate and the extension, as well as the ratchet handle (it will be more convenient to it). Also buy a new antifreeze, to fill the system, find the capacity more than 11 liters, as well as dry rags.

1. Go to the Salon and open the heater's crater.
2. In the open space, find the expansion tank and twist the cork from it.
3. Remove the radiator lid. At the initial stage, this can not be done. If you leave the lid on the spot, the coolant will exit with less activity, which eliminates its splashing.
4. Substitute, under an indicative place for plum, the capacity of 11 liters and more. At the same stage, prepare a tube having an internal diameter of 1.6 cm in size.

Drain of antifreeze

Consider how to merge antifreeze from the radiator. To do this, remove the lid that is on the left, at the bottom of the device, connect the prepared tube to it and wait for the exit of the coolant from the system. The presence of the tube is necessary to avoid splashing the hazardous liquid.

Go to the next step - to drain the old antifreeze from the cylinder block (hereinafter - the BC) of the Niva-21214 engine. To do this, do the following:

• take the key to "thirteen" (preferably with the head and extension), then unscrew the plug set from the bottom left side of the Motor BC;
• drain the coolant from the system using the same hose as for the cooling radiator.

Drain antifreeze from the expansion tank. For this:

• remove its mount, open the cork and lift the tank above the level of the radiator's fuel output; these actions are enough for the remaining antifreeze to come out of the tank;
• now tighten the drain plugs, put and secure the expansion tank to the previous place.

When replacing antifreeze, keep in mind that a conical thread is used in connecting cork for BC. Its feature is in the absence of a seal. The cork broach on the Cylinder-21214 cylinder block is made with an effort of 25-30 N * m, using a dynamometric key.

Fill new antifreeze

Complete the final antifreeze replacement step - pour the prepared coolant liquid. For this:

1. Pour antifreeze into the radiator hole. Make sure that the upper level of the coolant reaches the top edge of the fuse.
2. Fill the coolant into the expansion tank. The level should be 30 mm higher than MIN letter.
3. Get the engine and let him warm up. The tube on the radiator should be closed. Pay attention to the entry, to the radiator from the engine, hose. For some time it will be cold, but, in a few minutes, it will warm up. This confirms the fact that the fluid went to a large circle.
4. Look, while the fan starts, and muffle the motor.

Wait for cooled of cools, check again and perform a plot (if required). On this, the replacement of antifreeze is completed. If necessary, jump out air traffic jams from the system, for what, let's work the engine, with a radiator lid (the front of the car should be above the rear).

Now you know how to drain antifreeze in the Niva 21214 car, and after, fill the system with a new coolant system. This information is enough to make all the work itself and not contact the specialists.

When buying, you need to know the shade - Color and A type Antifreeze, permissible for the year of release of your 4x4 21214. Manufacturers choose at its discretion. Do not forget - each type of fluid has its own service life.
For example: For VAZ 4x4 (body 21214) 2009, GV, with a gasoline or diesel engine type, is suitable - carboxylate class of antifreeze, type G12 + with shades of red. The approximate term of the next replacement of which will be 5 years old. Opportunity, deposit the selected fluid for compliance with the requirements of the vehicle manufacturer specifications and maintenance intervals. It's important to know Each type of liquid is its color. There are rare cases when the type is tinted with different color.
The color of red antifreeze can be from violet to light vehicle (in green and yellow the same principles).
Mix liquid from different manufacturers - canIf their types correspond to the mixing conditions. G11 can be mixed with analogs G11 G11 can not be mixed with G12 G11 can be mixed G12 + G11 you can mix G12 ++ G11 can be mixed G13 G12 can be mixed with analogs G12 G12 can not be mixed with G11 G12 can be mixed with G12 + G12 can not be mixed with G12 ++ G12 can not be mixed with G13 G12 +, G12 ++ and G13 can be mixed with each other. Antifreeze with Tosol is not allowed. No way! Tosol and antifreeze are very different in quality. Tosol is the trade name of the traditional type (TL) of the cooling fluid of the old sample. At the end of the service life - the liquid is completely discolored or faster. Before replacing one type of liquid to another, rinse the car radiator with ordinary water.

VAZ 21214 is one of the modifications of the Niva, the car, which is known to almost everything. This car is characterized by the highest patency. At the same time, he has very inexpensive maintenance and repair. However, in these cars it is necessary to spend on time. And one of the mandatory maintenance procedures in the VAZ 21214 is to replace the coolant.

The frequency of replacement of the cooling fluid of the car VAZ 21214

First you should make a slight retreat. It is believed that in the Niva it is necessary to pour Tosol, cooling liquid of domestic production. But the drivers should remember: Tosol is the name of the coolant, which was produced in the USSR. And at the moment it is no longer produced. But many domestic firms continue to call their products to Tosol. Despite the fact that in essence, this is a standard antifreeze.

But what kind on the reconnaissance periodicity? For the original liquid, AvtoVAZ is recommended to replace every 60 thousand km of run. If the mileage is small - 3 years after the fill of the new coolant. In the case of use of antifreeze from other manufacturers, it is necessary to ensure their recommendations. On average, for H12 or G12 + replacement, it is worth spending every 200-250 thousand km or every 5-7 years.

• Periodically check the status of antifreeze in the system. There are a number of factors that reduce the life of the liquid. Here it is necessary to mention: temperature differences, dust and dirt, uneven high-speed mode. In the case of intensive operation of the auto check, it is worth spending every 30-40 thousand km of run.
• When buying a used car, antifreeze changes immediately. Some owners are poured into the system of low-quality coolant, or simple water. Therefore, it is desirable to immediately change the liquid. It is still worth checking the condition of the radiator, the expansion tank and nozzles for leakage and damage.
• When moving to another type of antifreeze, a complete flushing of the system is made. It is necessary to remove the dirt and the remnants of the additives of the same coolant.

When replacing the coolant in the VAZ 21214 "Injector" required volume of antifreezeequal to 10.7 liters. This is a standard amount of coolant for any model of the Niva car. It is worth noting here - the principles of fillings and the volume for all the NIV are the same. This concerns, for example, and replacing the coolant in Niva 21213, or in Lada 4 × 4 Urban. By the way, Lada 4 × 4 is a new name of the Niva series models. It is worth remembering this when searching for replacement items.

Now it is worth dealing with signs of replacement Co. You need to pay attention to the following points:

• The engine is quickly overheated. The thermometer arrow is constantly in the red zone. The fan works hard without interruption.
• The pressure in the system is above the norm. This is due to the advent of traffic jams in the cooling circuit.
• The color and consistency of the liquid changed. Antifreeze lost transparency, in it appeared enclosures of dirt. In the worst case, the coolant has an unpleasant smell.

In the event of the appearance of the problems described, antifreeze must be changed.

What to do if liquid flows? What are the breakdowns?

Often, problems in the cooling system are caused by breakdowns and leaks. And the state of antifreeze here does not play any role. Here list of possible faults and their elimination methods:

• The result of the thermostat. This item is responsible for the relationship between the external and internal circuit of the cooling system. In the normal state, it remains cold at work temperature below 80-85 degrees. If the fluid heats up stronger, then the thermostat becomes hot. When malfunctions, the thermostat is no longer heated or hot constantly. And then it has to change it. It is worth remembering - repairing this item is not subject to only replacement.
• Pump breakdowns. Possible problems: breakdown blades of impends, cracks in the housing, failure of seals. In case of leaks it is worth checking, the problem is in the pump or in the hoses.
• Problems with cylinder block. If there are cracks or there is a factory marriage - you will have to turn to professionals. But sometimes problems arise due to the rotten laying of the block cover. This is usually associated with the use of conventional water in the cooling system. Diagnosed simply: from the exhaust pipe is constantly tight, white or bluish smoke. The cylinder block laying is replaced here.
• Development of the system hoses. It is solved simply - the replacement of hoses. Made by hand. Tools: Passatia and screwdriver for removing clamps. Old hoses are removed and emitted, new are installed in their place.
• Problems with an expansion tank. Cracks appear on it, and the container has to be changed. The procedure is simple: screws on the tank mounts, the old capacity is removed, the new is installed.
• The problem with radiator fans. They have two pieces. Obtaining a building one or both at once. Repair can only make an experienced electrician.
• Radiator leaks. Corrected by repair or replacement part. But it will not be possible to fix it independently, career assistance is required.

Checking the system for faults must be carried out until the liquid is replaced. After all, when the cooling system is repaired, all antifreeze merges. Therefore, the new one stands after repair.

How to replace the coherent?

Start replacing the cooling fluid on the VAZ 21214 choosing a suitable refrigerant. You can choose the original coolant, or dwell on one of the existing analogues. The original antifreeze is produced since 2014. Fluid Name: Antifreeze Lada G12. Designed for use at temperatures up to -40 degrees Celsius. Product number: 88888-2000010-82.

Choosing a liquid, you need to pay attention to its marking. For Niva (including VAZ 21214), I need a coolant with a working temperature not higher than -40 degrees. The following liquids are suitable:

• Tosol domestic production. You need to take high-quality coolant. Marking "Tosol -40" means the temperature of freezing -40 degrees. Antifreeze with marking "Tosol -65" will be suitable for regions in the area of \u200b\u200bthe polar circle. An example of a suitable liquid: Felix Tosol.
• Standard antifreeze. It will be suitable for both domestic and foreign. Here the minimum operating temperature is checked again. It is equal to -40 degrees Celsius. Example: G-ENERGY or SINTEC products. Felix Carbox antifreeze.

It is also worth considering - the original antifreeze LADA is sold in an already diluted form. But when buying a concentrate from other firms it should be diluted. The exact proportions are written on the package with the coolant.

Tools and Materials for Work

Then you should figure out the tools and materials.

List of tools for replacement The coolant in the VAZ 21214 looks like this:

• Capacity for the drain of the exhaust antifreeze. Volume - 12 liters.
• Thick and durable hose for the drain of the coolant.
• Spanners on 13 and 15. It is recommended to have a set of precipitated, horny and wrenches of the appropriate size.
• Funnel for filling the radiator and expansion tank.
• Rounds for removing the receiver hose.
• Facilities for washing the cooling system.
• Antifreeze for replacement. 10.7 liters are placed in the cooling system. Therefore, 11 liters are bought, with a small margin in case of leaks.
• WD-40 for cleaning screws.

Preparation of the car and safety equipment when working

The next step - preparation of the car to replace Co. It is carried out like this:

• Niva rushes onto the overpass, or put on the observation pit.
• The car is firmly fixed: put in speed and on the hand-made brake. It is recommended to install stoppers under the wheels.
• Motor give to cool. Working with hot antifreeze is inconvenient and dangerous to health.

Still standing about safety technique. There are a number of simple, but important recommendations:

• Antifreeze should not fall into the eyes or respiratory tract. This liquid is toxic, and is a strong poison.
• It follows in a ventilated room. Evaporation Co. do not benefit health.
• It is necessary to wear comfortable, loose clothes. The working robe does not constrain movements and does not interfere with the replacement of antifreeze.
• Cooling fluid should not fall into fuel. This will very negatively affect the operation of the motor.

Now you can proceed to the replacement procedure.

Stage First

It should be started by S. plum of the exhaust antifreeze. It is recommended to remove the protection of the crankcase and remove it to the side. It is fastened with standard bolts for 13. The protection is neatly removed to the side. After that, antifreeze merges. The process looks like this:

• When the engine is cooled, move the stove levers.
• The round bugs are disconnected by the receiver heating hose. This is done for exhausting excess air from the system. In older models, with a carburetor fuel supply system, the heating hose of the carburetor is disconnected.
• Under the drain hole on the radiator, a container for spent antifreeze is installed.
• The drain crane on the radiator opens. If necessary, it is pre-treated with WD-40. To accelerate the drain process, the filling lid of the radiator is removed. All liquid merges, to the last drop.
• Next merges the antifreeze from the inner cooling circuit, located in the engine. The key to 13 unscrew the cork on the left side of the cylinder block. It is located near the fourth cylinder spark plug. The hose is substituted under the drain hole, and the spent coolant is merged. Then the plug screws into place.
• Gently unscrew the expansion tank. Then rise above the level of the radiator - is enough 30-40 cm. The hose, caring to the radiator, is disconnected, and is sent to the drain container. The tank is washed when necessary, then installed to the previous place. From the radiator, the residues of the liquid repense.

There are about 10 liters of antifreeze in the system. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to volume of liquid fusion. Here it is necessary to remember: the liquid from the cooling circuit evaporates quite reluctantly. Therefore, even in the heat, the volume of antifreeze in the system decreases very slightly. And if the exhaust antifreeze is less than the norm, it is desirable to check the cooling circuit for leakage or damage.

Stage two

The next step - flushing system. It is required with a strong contour contamination, or the transition to another type of antifreeze. For example, when the original coolant for VAZ 21214 is replaced with formulations from other manufacturers. They are characterized by a set of additives, composition, and it is impossible to mix them.

There are three washing options. Select the method follows from the operating conditions of the car. The remnants of antifreeze and dirt are washed away with the following means:

• Distilled water.
• Solutions of household chemicals.
• Special cleaning agents.

Washing system distilled water

And it should be started with the description flushing distilled water. This procedure is done if only preventive cleaning is required. Its, for example, should be carried out when moving from one type of antifreeze to another. But in the conditions of neat operation of the car. But if ordinary water was filled into the system, it is impossible to do this wash. The procedure is done like this:

• With a fusion antifreeze, water is poured into the system. Pouring stands through the expansion tank. The tank is filled to the mark "Max". Then the tank cover screws up.
• The next stage is the heating of the motor. First, the engine starts and communicates to the operating temperature. Then he warms up for 15-20 minutes, at idle and medium turnover.
• The motor is muffled and becomes cold. The cooled water merges from the system. It is worth checking the condition of the liquid. If the distilling has become opaque, there is dirt in it - it is worth repeating the procedure. Either rinse with more efficient means. If the color of the water has not changed especially, you can move to the next stage of the fill.

Flushing household chemicals

Most NIV owners prefer this washing option. To clean the cooling system applies Solution of citric or lactic acid, vinegar, soda. Recommended to use exactly lemonic acid. The procedure is carried out like this:

• Lemonic acid dissolves in water. It is worth taking distilled water. For 10 liters, 160-180 grams of powder are poured. Recommendations change, but this is suitable for the Niva.
• The resulting solution is poured into the cooling system. Principles of fill - as in the case of distilled water.
• The engine starts and warms up to operating temperature. In this mode, it is driven over for 15-20 minutes. The principle is the same as in the previous method.
• Motor is muffled, the liquid is left in the system for 2-3 hours. Then merges. In case of severe pollution, the flushing is re-made.

In certain cases, the fluid is driven through the system using the compressor. This will help get rid of traffic jams and increase the efficiency of the procedure. But it is worth remembering - there are means that are not recommended for cleaning the system. Example: Cola and its derivatives. She reluctantly removes organic pollution. But its impact very negatively affects the system hoses. Speaking easier - rubber and plastic are covered with cracks and burst.

Flushing with special compositions

There is a set of funds created specifically for washing system cooling. They are used with severe pollution. It is often necessary to resort to them when washing away the remnants of poor-quality antifreeze. By the way, it is recommended to clean the contour when buying a used car. After all, many owners are very casually contacting the Nivami. And after them, it is necessary to put the car in order.

There are four types of special compositions on the market:

• Alkali-based means. Spank the remnants of old antifreeze and remove it from the system. It follows from how high-quality fluid has been used. If the antifreeze was used longer than the required, the most effective alkaline means is selected.
• Acid-based agents. They help remove dirt and scale from the system. It is worth considering that it is they used to clean the plugs in nozzles, a radiator and other parts of the contour. And it should be remembered - the flushing is usually made by acid and alkaline means. And alternately. Alkal and acid mixing is unacceptable! These fluids come into the reaction, neutralizing each other. As a result, pollution is not deleted, only additional plugs appear in the system.
• Combined compositions. These are funds consisting of two different components. They are in separate packages. At first one agent is poured, then the second. The application method is described on the package. But in most cases it is impossible to mix the means. Indeed, it is usually alkaline and acidic composition, selected for the most efficient washing. The products described are expensive. But they effectively wash the dirt and remnants of the exhaust antifreeze.
• Compositions for soft flushing. This is a separate category of funds added to a new coolant liquid. They prevent the formation of scale, simplify the removal of dirt. When they are applied, the service life of antifreeze increases, the process of draining the spent coolant is simplified when replacing.

The principle of use of the means is indicated on the package. It is necessary to take into account - some formulations have restrictions on use. Example: Strong alkaline compositions are able to harm plastic or rubber hoses. Therefore, before use, you need to get acquainted with the instructions for use.

Stage Third

Final stage - fill new antifreeze in the cooling system. And before the fill it is worth checking if it is necessary to dilute the cooling fluid. The corporate antifreeze "Lada" comes already in a diluted form. But a number of other liquids require that they are bred by water. The proportions are on the package.

The fill process itself is as follows:

• Through the bay hole, the radiator is filled with antifreeze. It is necessary to fill it up to the lower level of the neck. Then the plug is twisted.
• The remaining antifreeze is poured into the expansion tank. It is necessary to fill the container to the level located 3-4 cm above the MIN mark.
• Motor warms up to operating temperature. There is an easy way to check: at the temperature of the lower nozzle of the radiator. When he begins to heat up dramatically, then the engine warmed up to the operating temperature. And antifreeze began to circulate on the cooling system.
• After 10-15 minutes of warming up the engine is muffled. Now the driver is obliged to wait for the cooler of the aggregate. Then the antifreeze level is checked again. With normal operation of the system, this level will significantly decrease. Co. is agreed until the previous level.

Now it remains to be installed in place protection of the crankcase, and tightly screw all the plugs in the cooling system. The next day is worth traveling in the trial mode, checking the state of the machine after replacement. If the antifreeze of Niva approached, and the problems did not appear, it means that the replacement was successful.

How often do you need to change the cooling fluid?
- According to the regulations, the replacement of the coolant should be carried out every 60 thousand km., Or after 3 years of operation, depending on what will come before.

How much cooling fluid needs to be poured?
- refueling the cooling system, including the salon heating system is 10.7 L..

What cooling fluid to fill?
- with a freezing temperature not higher than -40 ° C.
Recommended brands of cooling fluids are listed on the page

Note.
In connecting the plug and the cylinder block, a conical carving is applied that does not require additional seal. The plug of the drain hole of the cylinder block is tightened with a torque of 25-30 N · m.

Cooling fluid pour through the radiator to the upper edge of the filling neck.

Pour fluid into the expansion tank to the level of about 3 cm above the MIN mark.

Let the engine. Warm the engine with a closed radiator cork. engine. When warming the engine, the reducing (lower) radiator hose must be cold for some time, and then quickly warm up, which will indicate the beginning of the circulation of fluid in a large circle. After waiting for the cooling system fan, stop the engine.

After cooling the coolant, check its level.

If necessary, pour.

Supplement: The history of the coolant

Even at the beginning of the XIX century, the Belgian engineer Jean Etienne Lenoar created the first internal combustion engine. Cooling the working pistons was carried out with air. However, this method provoked the expansion of cylinders and, as a result, led to the encoding of moving elements. A controversial scientist decided to improve the engine and cool it with water, passing the oil lubrication system, which improved the overheating situation.

But natural water left a scale on the internal systems of the engine, in addition, the water boiling point was not high enough. In addition, in winter, water quickly frozen and destroyed the motor.

Russian path

In our country, which, among other things, differs from Europe by trust frost and huge distances, about improving the properties of the engine cooling system began to think in the 20s of the 20th century. It was then that the first antifreeze appeared in the young country of the Councils.
The product was based on glycerin, which made it possible to maintain resistance to temperature differences and high viscosity. But the composition was not the optimal pod of the view of the passage along the tubes of the radiator, therefore the formula was improved.

Poison - everything head

At first, ethanol was added to the glycerin, the fluidity increased, but there was some complexity for the driver and passengers of the car, which consisted of the fact that ethanol is a rather strong psychotropic poison. During the operation of the car, toxic couples were highlighted, in abundance fell into the salon. Often there were cases of obviously deviant behavior of drivers who represented the danger to others.

Therefore, after a number of incidents from dangerous composition, reluctantly refused. A lot of things contributed to this that a decent product appeared on the market, which was painlessly replaced the controversial formula. They became a mixture of glycerin and ethylene glycol. So Tosol appeared on the market.

Short linbez

By the way, Tosol is the same antifreeze designed to cool the automotive engines, which at low temperatures of the NA freezes (actually, in the literary translation of antifreeze means "controstylamic"). The product includes various additives that protect the automotive cooling system from corrosion.

On the way to world standards

But the NA should think that the use of antifreeze from the 20s has become mass in our cold country. We had no wonder mentioned about warm water in the radiator, the comprehensive deficit did not allow all citizens of the USSR to use this blessing.

The history of Toslas in Russia is closely related to the construction of the Volga Automobile Plant. It should be noted that the VAZ radically and very positively changed the chemical industry of the USSR and the industry of automotive components, bringing them to international standards.

In the late 60s, only one line of antifreeze was produced in a huge country, which did not fit in their characteristics of the advanced model VAZ-2101. It was decided to hold a number of studies in Italy, which showed that the basic liquid is characterized by a low alkalinity reserve, heavy foaming, can contribute to corrosion of metals, which, naturally, has a negative impact on the operation of the modern engine.
In this connection, it was decided to develop a new, more advanced antifreeze formula.

For three years, the Allied Research Institute of Organic Chemistry and Technology worked on the recipe for a new coolant, which would have the optimal properties for the rebeling domestic automation. As a result, Tosol was obtained, the same antifreeze, but with an improved formula.

Why Tosol?

This name has received a liquid thanks to the abbreviation. Tos is the name of the Institutional Department, in which the creators of the coolant worked, and the end of OL is the designation of the chemical nomenclature of substances that shows that the liquid includes alcohol (ethylene glycol is a two-headed alcohol).

Tosol remained for a long time in the domestic market for almost the only optimal antifreeze, today the picture is completely different: many brands are available to the consumer, but even among this, Tosol variety can always be distinguished according to a characteristic blue color.

The car is a set of complex mechanisms dealt with a metal frame, but, like people, without liquids. Some cooled, others are responsible for safety.
No less important than Tosol, brake fluid has become, because it is it that affects the safe and smooth stop of the car. Quality and timely replacement directly affect the safety of the driver and passengers.

The Niva SUV, in all modifications, is very popular in Russian expanses. This is due to good maintainability, low cost and excellent permeability. To ensure reliable work, it is necessary to pass all that, in particular, to replace the coolant.

The liquid system with the forced circulation of the car VAZ 21214 is designed to effectively remove heat. It fully copes with his task, you just need to maintain it in good condition.

Replacing antifreeze VAZ 21214

The replacement of the coolant is the regulated procedure, which is spelled out in the instruction manual. It does not have anything difficult in it, if clearly and carefully follow the action plan described.

Suitable for Niva cars:

• VAZ 21214.
• VAZ 21213.
• VAZ 2121.
• VAZ 2131.

Before starting the cooling fluid replacement, so as not to get burns, you need to wait for the complete cooling of the engine. Also, antifreeze or antiflowed to the skin should be avoided, in the eyes and digestive organs, since the chemical composition of liquids is poisonous.

Drain of coolant

Prior to the start of the discharge procedure, tools should be prepared by the Tar under the exhaust antifreeze, as well as new fluids for the subsequent bay. If protection is installed under the engine, it can also be removed for convenience.

1. turn the temperature controller in the cabin to the maximum position to the right (Fig. 1);

   

2. we substitute a drain container under the radiator;
3. we find the plug in the left corner of the radiator and unscrew (Fig.2);

   

4. we dress the hose on the drain neck, the inner size of 16 mm and lower it into the drain container. This will prevent antifreeze splashing;
5. after that, we unscrew the plug on the silent neck of the radiator, for a faster drain of the liquid (Fig. 3);

   

6. we unscrew the attachment of the expansion tank and raise it up (Fig. 4). In this case, the liquid is solved through the drain hole of the radiator. And the tank itself can be completely removed and washed;

   

7. to drain the coolant from the engine, you need to unscrew the drain bolt using the key to 13. The bolt itself is on the left side (Fig. 5).

   

After completing this operation, do not forget to put the expansion tank in place, as well as spin all drain plugs.

Flushing cooling system

In the presence of deposits and transition fluid in the liquid or transition from antifreeze to antifreeze, the system washed. To do this, you need to perform the following actions:

1. through the expansion tank of VAZ 21214, spang the system with ordinary water. Corks must be open;
2. tighten the drain plug and bolt;
3. fill in the system for washing (you can use Liqui Moly Kuhlerreiniger or flushing the LAVR cooling system) with distilled water (6-7 liters);
4. run the engine. Warm up to 90 degrees;
5. leave to work at idle for 5-10 minutes, depending on the system contamination;
6. mustle. Let the engine be cooled to about 60 degrees;
7. drain the washing the same actions as the old liquid;
8. tighten both corks;
9. fill distilled water to rinse the cooling system;
10. get a car and warm up to 90 degrees;
11. mustle and let cool up to 60 degrees, drain;
12. if necessary, repeat the paragraphs 8, 9, 10 and 11.

Tosol Pouring in Niva 21214, 21213 without air stoppers

To fill a new fluid into the cooling system, you can use the instruction that is described in the repair book and maintenance book. But making it, air traffic jams are very often formed from motorists.

Air traffic jams can cause engine overheating, boiling it. And may also not work oven for heating in VAZ 21214, VAZ 21213 (Niva).

So, proceed to the correct fill:

1. before the fill, we unscrew the hoses, bringing toosol to the heating node of the throttle of the throttle and raise them a little up (Fig. 1);

   

2. remove the plug from the filling neck of the radiator and begin to fill the toosol until the full fill (Fig. 2);

   

3. after that, we begin to drive out the air from the top nozzle of the radiator (Fig. 3). Pressing and stretching his hand towards the filler neck. When performing this procedure, air bubbles should appear in the neck;

   

4. twist from a plastic bottle like a funnel and insert into one of the pipes (Fig.4);

   

5. through the funnel, we begin filling, until the liquid reaches the upper edge of the flavored neck of the radiator. Tightly tighten the lid on it;
6. after that, we continue to fill through the funnel while Tosol does not flow from the second nozzle. We put both pipes in place and clamp a clamp (Fig. 5);

   

7. pour to the expansion tosol tosol a few centimeters above the MIN mark;
8. we start the car, warming up to the operating temperature, let's work for 5 minutes, after which the wasting.

The liquid bay is finished, it remains to wipe the spilled Tosol and wait for the engine cooling. On the already cooled machine, check the level in the expansion tank and simply add.

Replacement frequency, how much and what fluid you need

On the recommendation of the manufacturer's factory, to replace antifreeze or antifreeze on VAZ-21214 cars, it is necessary to periodically once every 3 years or after a run of 60 thousand kilometers. If the car is operated in more stringent conditions, then it is desirable to replace it more often - every 30-40 thousand kilometers.

• loss of coolant properties. You can check the quality of the antifreeze used using a test strip that is sold in the same places where the liquid itself is. Lower the strip into the expansion tank, then pull out. Included with a strip there is a color scale, according to which it will be possible to understand how many other cars can be operated before replacing the coolant;
• change the color of the coolant on red or red. This means that a rust appeared in it;
• the appearance of precipitation, flakes and dense formations in the liquid.

In all cases, it is necessary to make not only replacement, but also check the entire engine cooling system.

Cooling fluid for VAZ 21214 Injector Niva, should be with a freezing temperature not higher than -40 degrees. Typically, the manufacturer fills Tosol TS-40 (manufacturer of Dzerzhinsk). When replacing Tosol can be replaced with antifreeze with G12 tolerance, it is safer for the entire cooling system. You can also use the original antifreeze LADA G12, which is suitable for all cars of this manufacturer.

Replacing the heater crane VAZ 21214 Niva without draining toosol

Niva cars sometimes have problems associated with the failure of some parts of the cooling system, such as a thermostat or pump. When breakdown, they change assembly, good is not expensive. Also frequent illness is considered dried hoses or a cracked expansion tank, which is also subject to replacement.

But there is another problem on the VAZ 21214, dried the heater crane. Because of this, there may be a smell of antifreeze in the cabin, wet mats from the front passenger, do not work the stove.

Replace the faulty crane in several ways:

• full tosol sink from the system;
• purp the nozzles of the stove with special clamps;
• put your Niva on a bias, hood down.

But there is another option that is more understandable and simple. To do this, it is necessary to disconnect the nozzles on the stove under the hood, to direct them up and fix it in this position. The next step we need to remove the stove itself:

1. unscrew the console;
2. disconnect the stove latches;
3. you do not need to disconnect buttons;
4. we shift the radiator assembly, along with the crane and nozzles towards the driver;
5. we take out the whole design through space, between the steering wheel and pedals;
6. all, you can change the crane itself.

After replacement, we collect in the reverse order. As you can see this operation is quite simple, moreover, Tosol will not leak into the cabin. And the procedure is only 40 minutes, even for an unprepared person.
