Self-replacement of the intake manifold on the VAZ 2107

To be honest, I have never had to deal with such cases in my practice when the VAZ 2107 intake manifold needed to be replaced. Since the part is made of aluminum alloy, it is actually very reliable and serves almost the entire life of the car. But this manual will help you if you are disassembling the engine, that is, the process of removing the manifold will be clearly shown. Below is a list of the required tools you will need to complete this repair:

1. Pliers
2. Ratchet handle
3. Socket heads 13: regular and deep
4. Small to medium extension cord
5. Vorotok

Before proceeding with this procedure, you must first remove carburetor... After you've dealt with this, you can move on.

The first step is to disconnect two hoses: the coolant supply and from the vacuum brake booster, this is clearly shown in the photo below:

Now you can unscrew the two nuts securing the intake manifold from above, schematically shown below in the photo:

The most convenient way to do this is with a ratchet and a medium extension:

Then we unscrew the three nuts from the bottom, which are visible in the picture below (the central one is not visible):

Also, using the ratchet handle, we do it quite quickly and conveniently:

After that, you can start removing the collector. Pulling it slightly to the side and remove it from the studs:

If it is necessary to replace this part with a VAZ 2107, we buy a new one at a price of about 1500 rubles (500 rubles for a used one) and install it in the reverse order.
