How to remove a generator on a Kalina video

Belt selection, catalog number, price

Each belt in a car has its own service life and resource, and therefore requires periodic replacement. So what kind of alternator belt should be installed on the 8-valve Lada Kalina and how is this done?

Original number and belt size:

1. Knowing the original catalog number. Using it you can easily find a suitable belt, without knowing the size or teeth.
2. By size and type of teeth (number of ribs = 6, size = 1018 mm). Belt marking for Lada Kalina with 8 valves – 6PK1018 .

   This is the standard size that fits this car. The teeth of the generator belt on Kalina do not run across the base of the court, but along it, having 6 strips that are installed on the corresponding pulleys.

It is worth considering that the replacement of the alternator belt also includes a tension roller, which wears out along with it. When performing the replacement process, it also needs to be replaced.

When choosing a belt and roller, the motorist faces a difficult task: original or analogue. Both are good. But what should you do if you don’t have a belt with you when buying in a store?

When is it necessary to replace the alternator belt?

Even if the car has not driven the mileage after which it is recommended to change the timing belt, situations may arise that indicate the need for work beyond the plan. When operating a Kalina car, either equipped with air conditioning or not, the following indicators indicate the presence of problems associated with the alternator belt:

• at the beginning of the mechanism’s operation, increasing vibrations are felt;
• exhaust gases change color from light to black;
• extraneous noise appears during engine operation;
• Starting the engine does not happen the first time and requires some effort.

The presence of at least one of the above signs already indicates that the timing belt has failed and is likely to break soon. To avoid critical situations, it is necessary to immediately diagnose the operation of the gas distribution mechanism and timing belt.

If the car owner has experience in carrying out such procedures, diagnostics can be performed in the inspection pit independently. Otherwise, it is better not to take risks and waste energy, but to contact a service station.

Determination of malfunction and replacement time

Determining a faulty alternator belt is quite simple. Let's look at the main indicators:

• Whistle in under engine space. It appears when you increase the speed of the gas pedal, and the current in the bot network increases.
• Tightening the belt had no effect and the whistle remained.
• Cracks or elasticity in the belt.

  

  Bad alternator belt, bad - teeth torn (torn off)

• Frame deformation, eversion.

  The crack on the alternator belt is clearly visible

All these malfunctions indicate that it is time to replace the alternator belt on Kalina. Otherwise, it may break at the most inopportune moment.

When is it time to change?

On Lada Kalina cars, the manufacturer does not regulate the replacement of this part. However, its failure is a common problem. In particular, we are talking about Lada Kalina cars. This applies to both 16-cl and 8-cl engines.

This is what a deformed element of a Kalina generator with an 8-cyl internal combustion engine looks like

Therefore, let’s look at the signs that indicate that the belt may fail in the near future:

• Whistle when moving. As a rule, this whistle appears when the electrical appliances of the vehicle begin to load. For example, if you start the car, and when you press the gas, a loud whistle is heard from the engine compartment, this indicates that the belt is loose. In this case, it must be tightened using a tensioner or replaced.
• Cracks on the strap. If you open the hood, look at the belt and see cracks on it, then you know that it’s time to change the element. Neither tensioning nor adjusting the rollers will help here. The component can be tightened, but this will not be enough for a long time. The only option left is replacement.
• Deformation. As in the previous case, neither tightening the tensioner nor adjusting the rollers will give much effect. You just need to change the element.
• Noise when the engine is running. If the element has already served its service life, this can be understood by the noise that appears when the motor is running. For example, some Lad Kalin car owners report loud knocking and even impacts when the engine is running.

The assembly is disassembled: this is what the strap looks like on the shafts

If the vehicle is equipped with a generator sensor that determines its performance, then it will be easier to identify the malfunction. For example, if you heard a whistle from under the hood, and at this time the indicator on the sensor came on, then you need to pay attention to the strap. This indicates that the belt needs to be tightened, since it may be in a weak state or that its service life has been exhausted.

One way or another, if the slipping and whistling of the strap cannot be eliminated by adjusting the belt or rollers, it needs to be changed.

Removing the Kalina generator

In April two thousand eleven, the most experimental batch of elastic belts 1118-1041020-07 produced by the Gates office (Germany) was installed in the amount of 1000. These Kalinas do not have a generator belt tensioner, all difficulties caused by its absence are solved, like the Lada Granta. On other Lada Kalina cars the alternator belt tensioner is located. Required tools: socket wrench “8”, wrench “19”, socket “13”, socket “17”. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. After:

• We hold the belt tensioner pin with a 19mm wrench, put a 8mm wrench on the hexagon of the adjusting pin, and turn it clockwise. The tension will weaken.
• Remove the Kalina generator belt from under the tension roller, and then from the generator pulleys and crankshaft.

• Press the clamp on the block of the preparatory excitation wire of the generator. Disconnect the connector from the voltage regulator connector.
• Unscrew the nut securing the wire lugs to terminal “B” using a “13” socket. Remove them from output.
• Unscrew the lower mounting bolt of the generator using a 17mm socket and remove it. Remove the nut from the generator bracket.

• Unscrew the nut of the bolt of the upper mounting of the generator, using a 13mm head.
• Remove Kalina generator

We press the lower branch of the belt upward with our hand; with a pressing force of 100N (10 kgf), the deflection of the belt should be about ten mm. In the absence of a special tool, household scales can be used.

• Excessive belt tension causes excessive loads on the belt, generator bearings and tension roller, which leads to their premature failure.
• Insufficient belt tension will cause it to slip on the pulleys, causing wear and preventing the battery from charging.

If the belt tension is not correct, then:

• To tension the belt. rotate the adjusting pin counterclockwise.
• To relieve tension. rotate the adjusting pin clockwise.

How to change the generator on a 16-valve Grant

The generator mount on the 16-valve Granta variant is distinguished by the presence of a belt tensioning mechanism. Therefore, the procedure for replacing the generator on this model is slightly different. For work, socket wrenches for 8, ten and 13 are useful. As when dismantling a generator from an 8-valve “Granta”, before work you need to remove the “ground” terminal from the battery to remove the possibility of a short circuit.

After which you need to remove the engine protection by unscrewing the four front and two rear bolts securing it to the body parts. The 16-valve “Granta” generator is removed as follows:

• disconnect the block from terminal “D” on the generator;
• remove the rubber cap covering terminal “B” of the generator;
• using a ten key, unscrew the nut holding the wire tip;
• loosen the tension bar nut using a 13mm wrench;
• by rotating the tensioner adjusting bolt counterclockwise, loosen the tension on the Grant generator belt (you need a 10mm socket wrench);
• move the generator towards the engine and remove the belt from the pulleys;
• Unscrew and remove the adjusting bolt of the belt tension mechanism from the generator mounting bracket;
• remove the tension bar;
• unscrew the lower nut securing the “Grant” generator;
• remove the spacer bushing and remove the lower mounting bolt;
• remove the tension bar;
• remove the LADA Granta generator.

To install the generator, you need to do the above in reverse order.

Fundamentally: after installing the 16-valve LADA “Grant” generator, you need to adjust the belt tension.

Lada Kalina: alternator belt, tensioner and features

Let us immediately note that not all modifications of the Lada Kalina have an alternator belt tensioner. For example, there are versions with an 8-valve internal combustion engine, where there is no such tensioner initially (Kalina generator belt without a tensioner). In turn, there are also 8-valve versions with a tensioner and 16-valve engines with a tensioner.

Taking into account such features, it is necessary to pay attention to certain nuances when replacing a belt on a particular type of internal combustion engine, as well as when selecting rollers, the belt itself, etc. Let's figure it out.

Moreover, it should be remembered that the belt may become unusable even before the specified period, which indicates the need for regular inspection (usually every 10 thousand km).

The basic rule is that if there is noise or whistling, or problems with battery charging are noticeable, you need to check the alternator belt. During visual inspection, the presence of cracks on the working surface (track), as well as delaminations and defects on the outer part of the belt, is not allowed. If damage is visible, the element must be replaced.

At the same time, it is important to make the right choice of alternator belt for Kalina, since depending on the modification, different types of belts can be used on Lada Kalina:

• on an engine without air conditioning and tensioner, the belt length is 823 mm.
• the version with a belt tensioner without air conditioning has a belt of 882-884 mm.
• for an engine with air conditioning and tensioner, the length is 1018 mm.
• on a 16-valve engine with air conditioning and tensioner, a 995 mm belt is used.

As for the tensioner, in this case the Kalina belt tensioner may also sometimes require replacement. At the same time, the task of selecting a part is simplified, since the tensioner for all types of internal combustion engines where it is installed is the same (item number for the Lada Kalina tensioner is 2123–1041056).

Symptoms of malfunction and their elimination

You can find out whether a replacement is needed or whether you can simply tighten the power steering belt with air conditioner on the Priora sixteen valves only after inspecting this component. To do this, just open the hood and examine the belt; it is located next to the right front wheel. There are signs that indicate it's time to check the alternator belt: something whistling and squeaking from under the hood.

The prerequisites may be the following:

• Antifreeze, oil or other working water has come into contact with the generator pulley or belt.
• The belt is worn out - you can tell by its appearance.
• The tension has dropped - in this case the component needs to be tightened.
• The bearing in the generator is worn out.

When the belt whistles at the sixteen valve in a Priora, it’s time to carry out diagnostics. If there are cracks, tears or other severe damage on its surface, it means replacement is required. If the generator component with hydraulic booster and air conditioner looks normal, you should check its tension; the best level of deflection is 6-8 mm - you need to press on the component in the middle between the generator and the pulleys.

Are there visible stains from cooling water or engine oil on the surface? If the contamination is not significant, they can be cleaned. If the liquid has penetrated into the material, cleaning will not bring any results; a replacement is needed. If the component is perfectly tensioned and no damage or stains are visible, then you should move on to checking the bearings. They may have to be changed.

Technology for replacing the drive of auxiliary units on Lada Kalina

Lada Kalina from AvtoVAZLada Kalina The domestic auto industry continues to progress - AvtoVAZ presented a new generation Lada Kalina
.
The model is equipped with a Jatco automatic transmission and an improved ventilation and heating system. Representatives of the plant claim that the new car has gotten rid of the problems associated with the electric power steering of the previous series. This is all wonderful, but it was thanks to the first generation of the VAZ 1118 that repair techniques were developed that can be very useful to owners of new cars. Let's say the procedure for replacing the alternator serpentine belt on Kalina
is absolutely the same for both models.

Replacement

Required Tools

We'll prepare everything you need for the repair:

• Lubricant WD-40.
• Keys to 19, 17.
• Two copies of the key for 13.
• Head on ten and 17.
• Jack.
• Special key for tensioning.
• Lever arm.

The alternator belt on the modified Priora with air conditioning and power steering runs around the engine support. The designers decided to carry out such a modification for the Sixteen Priora due to the fact that the power steering pulley is installed a little low. Hence there are additional actions that you need to know about.

Step-by-step instruction

• First we need to wet the bolts that hold the bracket and motor mounts. Wait 10-15 minutes for the lubricant to spread over the surface;

The replacement is complete, all that remains is to adjust the alternator belt with power steering and air conditioning. The new consumables on the Priora will have to be tightened a couple of times until you get the required tension. If the component whistles or a rumble is heard from under the hood, it means that it is necessary to carry out repeated adjustments until these shortcomings are eliminated.
