These creeping reptiles love it when it is warm and damp, but we want it to be warm and dry. When, once again, it started dripping from the foam rubber that covered the radiator, I decided to put an end to this issue radically - I decided to try installing the radiator and heater valve from the VAZ-2108 on the IZH-2126.
If you decide to do this, then you will need:
- Heater radiator (from VAZ-2108).
- Heater valve (from VAZ-2108).
- Two L-shaped hoses from the “classic” stove (there are two types, it’s better to take the ones that are longer).
- One straight hose (from the VAZ-2110 stove).
- One L-shaped hose from the expansion tank (VAZ-2108).
- One S-shaped hose from the stove (VAZ-2108).
- Six clamps 1/2 (one-half) inch or smaller, eight clamps larger.
- Four 1/2-inch to 3/8-inch “fitters” (adapters) for water pipes.
Let me explain the last point: The copper heater radiator I bought (at the Za Rulem store) from a VAZ-2108 has tubes with a diameter of approximately 3/8 inch (13mm, hereinafter referred to as “small”) at the outlet of the VAZ engine. 2106 (on my Izha), also two tubes with the same “small” diameter, and between them a heater valve from a VAZ-2108 with inlet-outlet tubes with a diameter of 1/2 inch (19mm, hereinafter “large”), so I had to reduce these diameters before and after the tap.
I took water pipes, but you can find or make “adapters”, for example, in the garage I found some kind of bushing or guide with an outer diameter for “large” pipes, and the inner one is small enough that you can grind off half of this bushing to a “small” ”diameter, in general, as best you can. Or even install a crane from AZLK-2141, then there may be fewer problems. Yes, it looks like the aluminum stove from the VAZ-2108 has a tube with a “large” diameter at the outlet, then position 3 changes and you need to look at the circumstances.
Further in the text: hoses are flexible rubber, tubes are inflexible metal or plastic.
We connect the heater radiator from the VAZ-2108 to the IZH-2126 with our own hands
It is necessary to disassemble the “dashboard”, while you don’t have to disassemble the control handles (“hazard lights”, “fog lights”, hood release handle, etc.), that is, those to the left of the steering wheel, since if you move the seats back, disassemble and free the “glove compartment” and all the “lower” plastic, then you can simply unfold it towards the driver’s door, and all the necessary internal space will become accessible, and the “lower” plastic with the “glove compartment” will lie on the driver’s seat. Next, the stove itself is removed (assembled), to avoid problems with antifreeze, you can take a hose and use it to connect the tubes on the engine to “wrap” it (for convenience, it is better to remove the stove fan), and carefully drain the antifreeze from the stove.
We remove the stove and put it on the table. Let's take out the heater radiator. Let's disassemble the body itself, for which we remove the latches along the seams. On the left side, we will cut off the back part, into which the heater radiator rested, so that the new radiator fits into the hole (I recommend not cutting it down “to the root”, but so that a small area remains). Having placed L-shaped hoses from the “classic” on the radiator outlet tubes and tightened them with clamps, carefully insert the radiator into the resulting hole with the tubes up and mark in the plastic the places for the holes where the hoses will pass. Since the upper damper is also located in this place, the hoses must be moved to the left of the stove itself.

Heater radiators
Brand name – LRh – Luzar Radiator heater
Heating radiators (also known as heater radiators, also known as heater radiators) are heat exchangers that use the heat generated by the engine to heat the vehicle interior. They allow you to maintain a comfortable temperature and prevent the car windows from fogging up.
For reference: different names of this node have equal rights of use. For example, “heating radiator” and “stove” come from the function of this heat exchanger, “heater radiator” and “stove radiator” - from the installation .
LUZAR manufactures hundreds of heater radiators for a wide range of cars presented on the Russian market. They can be purchased in partner stores throughout Russia or online.
Many models of heater radiators are supplied to car factories in Russia and Ukraine - both for passenger cars and for trucks and buses.
The production range of manufactured stoves is constantly increasing; New types are being developed for the most popular cars in Russia.
Powerful R&D allows us to conduct research in the field of improving heat exchangers and create new designs that provide increased performance properties of heater radiators. Main areas of research:
- use of different types of tubes
- changing the location of the tubes
- change in the “fillability” of the core
- use of turbulators-swirlers
- use of various aluminum alloys
- testing of solders with different characteristics
- improving the corrosion properties of metal
- ... and many other R&D areas.
Types of additional heating device
If the owner of a Russian vehicle is thinking about how to install an additional heater on a VAZ-2110, then, first of all, he should know that the practical majority of currently existing designs fit directly into the standard cooling system of the power unit. The heated air flow is distributed throughout the cabin by a built-in electric fan.
Additional stove purchased at the store
An additional stove for the interior of the VAZ-2110 can be purchased at the store, however, in order to save money, such a unit can be made with your own hands. In fact, car dealerships sell completely different types of additional heaters. Depending on the budget and preferences of the motorist, you can choose both small and fairly large designs. True, not all presented models can be placed in the top ten without compromising passenger comfort. There is not much free space in a domestically produced car, so when choosing a unit, you should first decide on the location of its future installation.
If the car owner decides to install an additional heater under the passenger seat, then the purchased device should not be wider than 33 cm, higher than 20 cm and have a depth not exceeding 25 cm.
If you choose the optimal location for an additional heater, you should stop in the area of the car located between the seats (the unit will take the place of the tunnel), or directly under the front passenger seat.
In view of all the above conditions, the homemade additional heater VAZ-2110 must be an autonomous compact unit. Among the most popular models, it is worth noting the products of the TechnoMaster company, produced in Tolyatti. The cost of such a device ranges from 2500–3000 rubles. The products Helios, Xeros and Zenith, owned by the Eberspächer company, are of good quality. Their cost may be only a few hundred higher than the previously indicated models.

If the car owner decides not to waste time and not to upgrade the standard VAZ-2110 stove, but to place a new additional device in the cabin, when choosing a design, you should carefully study the characteristics and dimensions of the additional device.

Types of additional heaters
The driver can choose the most suitable option from several types of heaters. They differ in installation method, energy consumption, cost and appearance.
Electrical devices
The simplest type of additional heating. It is plugged into the car's cigarette lighter and is most often mounted on the front panel. For its low cost, young motorists love it. More experienced drivers try to use it less often, and only as a hair dryer to warm up the glass.
Electric additional heater
Positive properties:
- low cost of the device;
- simple installation that does not require the involvement of third-party specialists from the station;
- power comes from a battery or generator, without wasting fuel;
- ready for use immediately after switching on;
- has neutral colors and discreet shapes, which makes it easy to fit into salons of any color;
- Available at almost any auto store.

Negative properties:
- there are a large number of low-quality cheap fakes that can be dangerous during operation;
- in high modes it consumes a lot of electricity, and with prolonged use of the battery it can quickly discharge it;
- negatively affects electrical wiring, so it is recommended to connect it directly with more powerful wires.
Autonomous heaters
Most often, such an additional stove in the cabin is installed on minivans, minibuses, residential vans or trucks. Its power comes from fuel. The stove is equipped with an independent combustion chamber and exhaust pipe. Because of this, it is mounted outside the passenger compartment in the engine compartment. The operation of the device does not depend on the motor and is therefore called autonomous.
Autonomous additional heater
Positive properties:
- the performance of the unit does not depend on the degree of heating of the power plant;
- there is the possibility of adjustment from the cabin;
- does not change the interior of the car;
- ready to work immediately after startup;
- high recoil power.
Negative properties:
- more complex installation is required than when installing an electric heater;
- additional fuel consumption occurs when the heater is operating;
- the cost is higher than that of an electric heater;
- additional noise appears from the operation of the device.
Additional radiator
Many people install another radiator in the rear of the cabin. It is connected as a serial device in the cooling circuit together with a standard stove. To do this, pipes are passed through the cabin, and then a radiator with a fan is attached.
Additional radiator
Positive properties:
- the operating principle is the same as that of a standard heating device;
- sufficient warming up after the engine reaches operating temperature;
- You can buy an additional radiator for your car brand at any auto store;
- its cost is lower than that of an autonomous heater.
Negative properties:
- competent installation and additional materials and work are required (pipes, soldering, pipe insulation);
- its operation depends on the engine warming up;
- you will need to disturb the upholstery to hide the wiring;
- the desired effect from installation is not always obtained;
- additional filling of antifreeze into the cooling system is necessary.

Installation of an additional stove in the interior of a VAZ-2110
Before installing a new heating element in the vehicle interior, you should decide on the sequence of actions to be performed. The installation process of an additional stove can be divided into several main steps:
- securing the heating unit under the front passenger seat;
- depressurization of the power unit cooling system;
- connecting the durite hoses of the installed device to the section of the engine cooling system (it is important to follow one rule: the hoses of the new stove should not come into contact with the muffler pipe and steering parts);
- drilling two small holes in the engine shield, about 19 mm in diameter (this is necessary for the pipes of the new heater);
- location of the heater pipes in the cabin under the floor covering;
- removal of pipes close to the seat frame for the passenger;
- installation of fasteners that help fix the pipes on the auxiliary heater;
- filling the expansion tank with about a couple of liters of antifreeze or antifreeze;
- removing the air lock from the engine cooling system;
- creating a button on the dashboard through which the car owner can remotely control the new heating element.
To install an additional heater VAZ-2110 it will take about 4 hours
If an additional pump is installed along with the new stove, this will help make the heater more productive, because the additional stove uses the flow of antifreeze, which is pumped only by the standard pump.
We recommend: Grooving brake discs without removing: how to do it yourself
As a rule, it will take about four hours to install a purchased or homemade additional heater for a VAZ-2110.
Advantages of an additional stove
Experienced motorists note the fact that an additional heater installed in the cabin helps warm the space to a comfortable temperature 2 times faster. At the same time, the feet of passengers sitting behind will always be warm.
The additional heating device does not affect the beauty of the interior; the unit does not spoil the appearance or interfere with the passengers’ feet.
The additional heater does not interfere with passengers' feet
Disadvantages of a new heater
Although the updated heating makes the temperature inside the car higher than usual, it has some disadvantages. In particular, antifreeze or antifreeze begins to warm up more slowly, which occurs due to an increase in the heat capacity of the engine cooling system.
In addition, additional noise emitted by the new heater appears in the cabin, and dust on the floor rises up along with the flow of heated air.
In the summer, hot hoses located under the floor covering can be especially inconvenient, as they will begin to heat up the interior. True, the situation can be corrected by installing a small tap in the engine department, which should be carried out at the stage of “insertion” into the engine cooling system. It is worth noting that there is no such device (faucet) in the finished heater.
When installing a heater, additional noise appears in the cabin
If the speed of the additional heater is not adjusted, one part of the cabin will warm up more, due to which the passenger sitting in this place may feel discomfort.
Creating a homemade additional heater
You can make a homemade additional heater for a VAZ-2110 from an old heater radiator of any other car.
