Replacing the starter on a VAZ 2110 on your own
In the event of a malfunction of the starter on the VAZ 2110 or its retractor relay, it must be removed from the car for diagnosis or complete replacement. In most cases, the failure of the device is precisely the failure of the retractor, but there are times when the starter itself is the culprit. If you need to remove it from the car, then for this you will need:
- Open-end wrench 13
- Head with a knob
- Socket head 13
The layout of the VAZ 2110 engine is such that before proceeding with the removal procedure, it will be necessary to remove the air filter housing to gain access to the starter.
Above shows its location when the air filter housing is removed. Now you need to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, as well as the starter power wires. One of which must be unscrewed with a key of 13, having previously unbent the rubber protective cap:
And the second one is removed simply, just pull it to the side:
Then you can start unscrewing the starter mounting nuts. Depending on the model of the device that is installed on your VAZ 2110, it can be attached with either two or three pins. In this case, the starter is attached using two studs, the nuts of which must be unscrewed:
After you have coped with this task, you can gently take the starter aside:
And finally we take it up, the result of which is shown in the photo below:
If necessary, we buy a new starter, the price of which for the VAZ 2110 ranges from 2000 to 3000 rubles, depending on the manufacturer and type: geared or conventional. Of course, the ideal option is a geared one, since it turns the engine at a higher speed and the launch is much more confident.
