The first updated car of the Samara family is a front-wheel drive sedan - VAZ-2115. It is equipped with an engine and a five-speed gearbox.
By changing the shape of the body, the car began to have improved aerodynamics. Moreover, new stamped parts found application in its design. Plastic bumpers also changed somewhat, side doors began to have additional overlays, and threshold fairings were provided for the floor. In addition, this model is also distinguished by a new trunk lid, which has a connector on the floor level and a spoiler on which the brake light is located. This car already has new headlights and an original design of rear lighting. The
dashboard has also been modified
, on which there are illuminated push-button switches, indicator lamps.
The VAZ-2115 model is produced in two versions - this is Lux and Standard. The VAZ-2115 gasoline engine has a volume of 1.5 and 1.6 liters. Initially, cars with a carburetor engine were produced . But already in 2001, a car with an engine was released, which has distributive fuel injection. The motor is cooled by a closed-type fluid system.
Initially, the idea was to modernize not only the exterior trim and body. Everything went to the fact that manufacturers will improve the suspension, transmission and brake system. However, then it was decided to leave everything without any major changes, all these nodes were borrowed from the predecessor - Samara-1. The injection engine has become more advanced and is now able to develop more power. Reduced fuel consumption, and the engine warms up faster. The liquid cooling system VAZ-2115 due to forced circulation of a special liquid does not allow the engine to overheat.
Coolant is poured into the expansion tank. In this case, the hose must be disconnected from the throttle nozzle. As soon as fluid appears in the nozzle, the hose can be put in place, and then, having added fluid to the level of the upper edge of the fixing belt, screw the plug. To avoid air congestion in the system, it is recommended that the engine
idle for no more than two minutes.
During operation of the VAZ-2115 car, the following rules should be followed:
* In no case should you start the movement of a car with a starter. It must be carried out in first gear.
* The VAZ-2115 engine is distinguished by low noise. If you switch gear in time, this will avoid the car’s engine running at high speeds. This will extend the life of the engine and reduce fuel consumption.
* You should not drive the car along the road with a damaged coating - this can lead to deformation of the suspension elements and the body.
* Do not exceed the load of the car. Neglecting this rule can harm the suspension elements, the stability of the car will be impaired.
* Use the oils recommended by the manufacturer as a lubricant for the engine and gearbox.
