It is a well-known fact that 2101 was the first VAZ model, followed by a station wagon, then a 2103 sedan and its modification - 2106. I must say that he won such popularity in Russia that not a single foreign car, even Toyota Corolla, who It was released more than 30 million copies, could not defeat the Six.
But, no matter how popular and popular this car is, it has drawbacks, which, unfortunately, include its engine. Now it is not difficult to find the right part, so the repair of the VAZ 2106 engine can not be called problematic. As practice shows, the resource of such a motor is approximately 60,000 km, followed by the “capital”. Fortunately, not all parts and components of the car are involved in this procedure, but the process overlay is still evident.
Overhaul of the VAZ 2106 engine can be significantly reduced if you carry out installation and dismantling work yourself. Of course, you can go further, but not every car owner in the garage, except for the car, has several machines for boring cylinders or grinding the necks of the crankshaft. Of course, for disassembly and troubleshooting, you will also need a certain set of tools, some of which can be safely called unique and specific.

Repair of the VAZ 2106 engine for convenience should be divided into three stages, among which it is necessary to highlight the dismantling, troubleshooting and replacement of parts with subsequent assembly. The first stage involves a complete disassembly. It must be remembered that this should be done in a clean workplace, because, for example, dust that can get into the cylinder block will soon adhere to oil-greasy surfaces, and after assembly will reduce all work to naught. All details should be thoroughly washed with kerosene, since no self-respecting specialist will deal with a dirty cylinder block that is completely smeared with fuel oil. In addition, if the “chunk” remains in the engine, it will begin to be washed off with clean oil and may clog the entire lubrication system. Again, all the work is in vain.
Repair of the VAZ 2106 engine also involves troubleshooting. To do this, you need a few micrometers, a set of probes and a caliper. The first is to measure the neck of the crankshaft and camshaft. The second - cylinders and camshaft bearings. The probes need to determine the state of many parts (their list is quite long).
After determining the wear of parts, a boring of the cylinders and grinding of the crankshaft journals follows. Then the parts are installed. Particular attention should be paid to build quality, because it directly affects the repair of the VAZ 2106 engine.
Next, replace the consumables. Particular attention must be paid to the oil filter, into which oil must be poured before installation. After that, you need to verify the correct assembly by cranking the crankshaft by hand using a curved starter. The rotation should be tight. If you can’t crank the crankshaft , you don’t have to try your luck - it’s better to disassemble the engine again. It is clear that the procedure is not pleasant, but after reassembling everything, most likely, will already work. Owners of other models should not despair, because, for example, the overhaul of the VAZ 2109 engine is practically no different.
