The VAZ 2107 has long become a legend of the domestic automobile industry. Everyone is familiar with its famous classic-colored body with simple geometry. Being a luxury version of the VAZ 2105, it was produced from 1982 to 2012 in several modifications and had various configurations, including a pickup body.

Technical characteristics of VAZ 2107

The model is a classic rear-wheel drive sedan. There are no front-wheel drive modifications for the VAZ 2107.

The car was only slightly different in size from its predecessor, the “six”:

• length - 4145 mm;
• width - 1620 mm;
• height - 1440 mm.

The curb weight of the “seven” was 1020 kg, the total weight was 1420 kg. As on all VAZ models, the fuel tank volume was 39 liters. For the vast majority of owners, the trunk volume of 325 liters provided the necessary space for transportation.

The latest versions of the “seven” were equipped with a remote control for automatically opening the trunk

Initially, carburetor modifications of power units were installed on VAZ 2107 cars. Depending on the year of manufacture, the engine could operate with either a four-speed gearbox or a five-speed gearbox.

An important feature of the engines on the “seven” is that until 1995 they were equipped with a breaker relay, which can be easily detected when braking with the handbrake.

The braking system was inherited from the “seven” from the “six”: front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.

The ground clearance of all VAZ modifications was not designed for off-road driving, but 175 mm of ground clearance makes it possible to cope perfectly with uneven road surfaces.

In total, over the entire period of production of the VAZ 2107, the car was equipped with five types of engines:

• model 1.5 liter or 1.6 liter, 65 hp, 8 valves, carburetor);
• model 1.3 liter, 63 hp, 8 valves, timing belt);
• model 1.7 liter, 84 hp, 8 valves, mono injection - version for export to Europe);
• model 1.4 liter, 63 hp, version for export to China);
• model 1.7 liter, 84 hp, 8 valves, central injection).

The power unit is located in the front of the machine in the longitudinal direction.

Seal the gas tank

So, first of all, we go to a specialized store; to repair the gas tank we will need:

• Fiberglass.
• Epoxy resin.
• Sanding paper.
• Acetone.

It is very important, before starting to repair a gas tank, to thoroughly dry the fuel container and degrease it; the final result depends on this. Next, cut the fiberglass into pieces so that they are larger than the area of ​​damage. Impregnate the fiberglass with epoxy resin.

Place fiberglass cloth on the surface so that there are no bubbles; excess resin should be removed. Pay special attention to the first layer; the final result depends on its quality.

After the repair is completed, let the patch dry, then be sure to putty and paint the gas tank, this will increase the reliability of the repair.

This way you can inexpensively repair your gas tank. However, even this is not a panacea; such a patch will only last for a few years at most, and besides, it, of course, will not stop the corrosion processes of the fuel tank. Therefore, the ideal solution is to purchase a new gas tank. Moreover, on a VAZ 2107 with an injector system this part today costs no more than 3 thousand rubles.

VAZ-2107 is one of the representatives of the legendary classic models. It used both types of fuel supply systems. Both injection and carburetor models were produced. Even those copies that were the last to leave the assembly line still work properly. The only weak point of this car is the hardware. For this reason, it is extremely important to know the exact volume of the gas tank of a VAZ-2107 car, because due to corrosion it can give a small leak, which you will be able to notice only when you control the amount of fuel poured in.

All about model refueling fluids

As mentioned above, the VAZ 2107, like all models of the manufacturer, is equipped with a 39-liter gas tank. This volume is quite enough for long continuous trips. Of course, in recent years, due to a sharp increase in fuel prices, the tank volume has become enough for only 3-4 hours of driving on the highway.

Fuel

Initially, the “seven” was refueled exclusively with A-92 gasoline. However, some of the latest versions of the model implied the use of diesel fuel (VAZ 2107 - diesel). However, diesel modifications of the VAZ 2107 did not gain popularity in Russia due to the high cost of the car and increased fuel consumption.

AI-92 fuel is the main filling fluid for the engine

Engine oil

Another filling fluid for the car is the oil in the power unit. AvtoVAZ engineers recommend that drivers fill the engine with lubricant that meets the minimum requirements of API SG/CD standards . This marking is usually indicated on containers with consumable liquid.

For VAZ 2107 engines, according to the SAE classification, the following oils are recommended:

1. Lukoil Lux - 5W40, 10W40, 15W40.
2. Lukoil Super - 5W30, 5W40, 10W40, 15W40.
3. Novoil-Sint - 5W30.
4. Omskoil Lux - 5W30, 5W40, 10W30, 10W40, 15W40, 20W40.
5. Norsi Extra - 5W30, 10W30, 5W40, 10W40, 15W40.
6. Esso Ultra - 10W40.
7. Esso Uniflo - 10W40, 15W40.
8. Shell Helix Super - 10W40.

Where oil is present, experts recommend changing the oil filter as well.

Transmission oil

It is also necessary to maintain an optimal level of lubrication in the gearbox - transmission. For VAZ 2107 with 4 and 5-speed gearboxes, the same types of transmission oils are used.

AvtoVAZ engineers draw the attention of owners that only special gear oil of groups GL-4 or GL-5 should be poured into the gearbox. The viscosity grade must be designated SAE75W90, SAE75W85 or SAE80W85.

It is important not to overdo it with pouring lubricant into the transmission: no more than 1.35 liters of oil can be poured into a four-speed gearbox, and 1.6 liters of oil into a five-speed gearbox.

When changing transmission oil, it is necessary to fill in a clearly defined amount of fluid.

Coolant

The VAZ 2107 power unit needs high-quality cooling. Therefore, all versions of the “Seven” have a liquid cooling system. It is based on antifreeze. In the 1980s, the use of antifreeze was not practiced in the USSR, so engineers used only antifreeze to cool the engine .

In recent years, car enthusiasts have been pouring both antifreeze and antifreeze into the expansion tank without any consequences for the operation of the car. In some cases, during the summer months it is even possible to use ordinary water as a coolant, but the manufacturer does not recommend adding water.

Operating a car without coolant can lead to overheating and engine damage.

Design features of the VAZ 2107 gas tank

The design of a VAZ 2107 gas tank with a classic pure water injector system. The entire VAZ family, from the seven to the kopeck, has exactly the same fuel tanks. The actual gas tank of the VAZ 2107 has a volume of just over 40 liters, with about three or four more going into its neck . That is, in fact, a full refueling of the seven is about 45 liters of fuel. However, the main thing is that if your car is already quite old, the condition of the fuel tank must be strictly monitored, otherwise it is fraught with very unpleasant consequences.

Description of the salon

Having first appeared in 1982, the VAZ 2107 did not differ from its predecessors and competitors in any modern devices or design. However, even those little things that the manufacturer decided to introduce into the new Lada model played into the hands: the car became more convenient and attractive for drivers.

Interior trim

The interior trim was fully consistent with Soviet ideas about fashion. For example, higher quality plastic and wear-resistant fabrics were used. For the first time, the seats acquired an anatomical shape and received comfortable headrests. In general, the VAZ 2107 was the first in the manufacturer’s line to receive the title of a comfortable car for people.

Hard plastics and wear-resistant fabrics are used for interior upholstery.

Dashboard

However, if the interior, at the very least, stood out from similar AvtoVAZ models, the instrument panel was always made in strict accordance with existing standards. We can say that the dashboard is featureless, although it houses the tachometer and additional services of instruments and sensors.

On the panel there are only important devices, without decorations or frills.

This is probably why almost all VAZ 2107 owners try to somehow personalize the instrument panel in their cars. Some hang icons, others - flavors, others - toys... After all, a dull instrument panel affects the mood, so depending on capabilities and taste, drivers often resort to tuning this area of ​​the car.

Gear shift diagram

The gearbox on the VAZ 2107 is needed to transmit torque from the engine to the transmission.

The gear shift pattern on a five-speed gearbox is not much different from a four-speed one: the only difference is that another speed has been added, which is activated by pressing the lever all the way to the left and forward.

The gear shift pattern on a five-speed gearbox is not much different from a four-speed one.

All 7 gearboxes also have reverse gear. The transmission itself is necessarily sewn into the housing with a lever located on it to change gears.

Suspension and wheels of VAZ 2107

Front suspension: independent, double wishbone, with anti-roll bar and hydraulic shock absorbers. Rear suspension: dependent, with a rigid rear axle beam and 5 reaction rods, on hydraulic shock absorbers.

Standard VAZ 2107 wheels: 5Jxl3H2 with an offset of 29 mm, mounted on 4 bolts with a hole diameter of 98 mm, hole diameter for the hub - 58.5 mm) Tires: tubed or tubeless 175/70R13 or 165/70R13
