Timing replacement Lada Grant 8 valves required every 75 thousand kilometers. If you ignore the scheduled replacement of the belt, tension roller and sometimes a pump (coolant pump), then you can run into a serious engine repair Lada Granta. After all, a broken timing belt almost always leads to damage to valves, valve seats and even pistons. Therefore, the timing drive must be treated very carefully. Once every 15 thousand, it is imperative to inspect the belt for breaks, cracks, delamination or oiling.
Detailed diagram of the timing drive Lada Granta next.

To replace the timing belt, we should dismantle the alternator drive belt or accessory drive belt for Grant with air conditioning. With a “5” hexagon, unscrew the four screws securing the front top cover timing drive and remove the plastic casing.
To avoid damage to the crankshaft position sensor, it must also be removed. With the ignition off, depress the clamp of the wiring harness block and disconnect the block from the sensor connector. Using the “10” head, unscrew the sensor mounting bolt.
We take out the sensor from the tide hole of the oil pump cover and set it aside in a place where there are no steel filings that could subsequently disrupt the operation of the sensor.
Before dismantling the belt, it is necessary to check the valve timing of the engine - set the piston of the 1st cylinder to the TDC (top dead center) position of the compression stroke. With the “17” head, turn the crankshaft clockwise by the bolt securing the generator drive pulley until mark 1 is aligned on toothed pulley camshaft with tide 2 on the rear timing cover.
To make sure that the crankshaft is in the correct position, we take out the rubber plug of the viewing window at the top of the clutch housing. Risk 2 on the flywheel should be located opposite the slot 1 of the scale, which is visible in the window of the clutch housing cover.
Before unscrewing the bolt securing the alternator drive pulley, we ask an assistant to fix the crankshaft from turning by inserting a screwdriver through the window in the clutch housing between the teeth of the flywheel.
Using the “17” head, unscrew the bolt securing the alternator drive pulley, remove the pulley and washer.
With a “5” hexagon, we unscrew the three screws securing the front lower timing cover. We remove the cover.
Using a 15 spanner wrench, we loosen the tightening bolt of the tension roller.
In this case, the tension roller will turn and the belt tension will loosen. Remove the timing belt from the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys. Take the belt out of engine compartment Grants.
Attention! After removing the timing belt, the crankshaft and camshaft must not be rotated to avoid sticking the pistons into the valves. Dimensions toothed belt drive Timing Lada Granta with 8 valve engine - width 17 mm, number of teeth 113.
To remove the timing belt tensioner pulley, unscrew its fastening bolt and remove the tensioner pulley together with the bolt.
We rotate the plastic clip of the roller, holding it by the eccentric. The roller should rotate silently, evenly and without jamming. Otherwise, the roller must be replaced.
At the same time, you can check the health of the coolant pump by twisting and shaking it by the pulley. We install the tension roller in place, finally not tightening the bolt of its fastening. For different modifications of the engine, two threaded holes are made in the cylinder head for the tension roller fastening bolt. We screw the roller mounting bolt into the upper hole of the cylinder head. In the photo below, the hole is marked with a red arrow.
Install Grant's timing belt in reverse order. Before installing the belt, make sure to align installation marks crankshaft and camshaft. We put the belt on the crankshaft toothed pulley, then pulling both branches of the belt, put the back branch on the coolant pump pulley and wind it behind the tension roller, and put the front one on the camshaft pulley.
If necessary, we turn the camshaft pulley in the direction of the smallest stroke until the belt teeth coincide with the pulley cavities. To tension the belt, turn the tension roller counterclockwise. To do this, insert the rods (diameter 4 mm, distance between the rods 18 mm) of a special key into the grooves of the outer disk of the roller (shown on the removed roller for clarity).
Such a key was used to adjust the belt tension in all front-wheel drive VAZs; you can buy it at any auto parts store.
Also, to adjust the tension of the timing belt Lada Granta, you can use pliers to remove the retaining rings. We tighten the belt by turning the belt tension roller counterclockwise until the cutout of the outer disk of the roller coincides with the rectangular protrusion of its inner sleeve, and tighten the roller fastening bolt to a torque of 34–41 Nm.
Excessive belt tension reduces belt life as well as the life of the coolant pump bearings and idler pulley. Insufficient belt tension also leads to premature failure of the belt and can cause a violation of the valve timing. Turn the crankshaft two turns clockwise. We check the belt tension and the coincidence of the alignment marks of the crankshaft and camshaft. With the alternator drive pulley removed, it is convenient to control the correct position of the crankshaft by aligning mark 1 on the crankshaft toothed pulley with rib 2 of the oil pump cover. Photo for clarity below.
If you are not confident in your abilities, then you can entrust the work of replacing the belt with a Lada Grant to a car service. For an engine with an 8-valve timing mechanism, this is cheaper than for a version with a 16-valve engine.
If the gas distribution mechanism of the Lada car breaks down, starting the engine and full operation of the car will be impossible. In order to prevent such a nuisance, it is necessary to monitor the condition of all the components of the device, including changing the timing belt to the Lada Granta in a timely manner.

When and how often should you change?
According to the official regulations, the engine belt 21116 or 11186 changes with a run of 60 thousand kilometers. In fact, many car owners repair and change the timing belt, as well as the tensioner pulley, usually after 50 thousand kilometers. The norm for checking the condition of the product is every 15 thousand kilometers traveled.
What signs indicate the need for replacement:
- Wear of the strap structure. As a result of wear, the product will slip on the pulleys and eventually break. This usually occurs at increased load or high humidity. A worn belt may have pieces of thread and fabric residue.
- In most cases, the rapid wear of the product is due to the deviation of the position of the tension roller or pulley. The strap will fail faster if the operating temperature of the bearing device is elevated or the part does not function correctly.
- The appearance of cracks or delaminations on the structure.
- The working side of the belt has become less elastic and harder. With such a problem, the strap may shine. Due to the increased hardness, the product will not be able to make good contact with the camshaft pulley.
- Increasing the length of the belt. If the size of the product is larger, it must be changed. Reducing the elastic characteristics of the strap will cause it to break quickly.
- Deviation of the position of the product from the normalized indicators. Such a problem indicates that it is necessary to change the tensioner pulley.
Crack on strap structure
Reasons for rapid wear
Why does the timing belt on the Lada Grant wear out:
- Poor quality of the material from which the strap is made. Many manufacturers save on raw materials, which leads to premature breakage of products.
- Poor assembly quality of units and mechanisms power unit through which the timing belt passes.
- Operation of a belt that has begun to wear out. When there are signs of damage on its structure, the belt must be changed, and not continued to be used.
- Errors made during installation. In the case when the belt is incorrectly installed and does not fit tightly on the rollers and pulleys, it will wear out much faster.
- Tension roller failure. If you do not change this element when installing a new strap, it may wear out faster, which will also lead to breakage of the product.
You can learn about the consequences of a Lada Grant belt break from a video shot by Denis Gorban.
Belt selection
Now let's figure out which is better to choose a timing belt VAZ 2114 eight or sixteen valves.
It is not easy to buy a good product that can be installed and tightened on a gas distribution mechanism drive. After all, the desired strap must be of high quality.
Today, consumers are offered several worthy products from manufacturers:
- ContiTech Antriebssysteme GmbH. There is a sticker with a QR code on the original packaging of the belt. In the kit you can find a label that indicates the date of the change, the mileage of the vehicle and information about the nodes that changed at one time. When carrying out repairs, installation, belt tension, as well as replacing rollers, you can specify all the information on paper and, if necessary, see when and what exactly changed for the last time. On the strap itself, you will see the brand designation and batch number.
- Gates 5670XS. There is a QR code on the packaging of the original product, as well as a hologram designed to protect against counterfeit goods. A serial number is applied to the outer side of the strap. Included with the product is a sticker on which you can indicate the number of the belt and the date when it was replaced.
- Trialli GD 790. An Italian-made product is sold on our market in the form of a repair kit with a tensioner roller. The product is packed in a cardboard box with a plastic insert inside. This belt kit also includes a sticker with vehicle mileage and part change date. Here you will also see the warranty card. The manufacturer took care and added to the kit detailed instructions by replacement.
How to replace with your own hands?
You can replace the strap on an 8 or 16 valve Lada Grant in garage conditions or at the service station. To avoid mistakes and do everything right with your own hands, follow the steps indicated in the instructions.
Required Tools
Before you begin the task, prepare the following:
- a set of wrenches, you will need tools for 10 and 17;
- a special tool for tensioning the roller, the device can be bought at a car shop;
- jack;
- a set of asterisk keys;
- forceps.
Channel Dmitry Berbraer provided a video showing the consequences of a broken timing belt.
Step-by-step instruction
How to install and properly tension the product:
- Drive the car into the garage, open the hood and loosen the bolt securing the terminal with a wrench battery. The contact is disconnected.
- Remove the generator set drive strap. To replace the timing belt, you will need to provide access to aggregate components and mechanisms. Remove the front right wheel. Loosen the bolts on the wheel with a wheelbrace, unscrew them, then remove the wheel by placing the front of the car on a jack.
- Loosen the bolts securing the upper timing belt cover. The plastic cover is used as protection, remove it. After that, set the first piston of the car's power unit to the top dead center position.
- The next step is to adjust the tensioner roller nut. Proper adjustment of this element ensures a long service life of the strap. To dismantle drive belt, unscrew the roller nut with a wrench, this will weaken the product. After completing the task, you can proceed to the removal. It will not work to dismantle the belt by cutting it without unscrewing the screws. In any case, the rollers will have to be unscrewed in order to install a new strap in the future.
- Unscrew the main screw of the generator pulley, for this a wrench is used. When difficulties arise during the dismantling process and the bolt does not come out of the shaft, remove the plug located in the clutch housing of the machine. If you have a mounting spatula, then you need to fix the teeth of the flywheel with it. If necessary, you can use a long screwdriver. This will prevent the generator set pulley screw from turning as the crankshaft is secured with a tool.
- Remove the generator shaft. This procedure is performed after the blade has been removed. When the pulley is removed, it must be set aside on a clean surface. Make sure that dirt does not stick to it, otherwise it may cause jamming.
- The next step is to dismantle the lower part of the timing gear drive. To do this, unscrew the three fixing screws. Set the drive aside.
- Then the strap is removed - first from the camshaft, and then from the crankshaft. When dismantling, evaluate the condition of the roller. If it is worn out or there is a large gap in the mechanism, it must be replaced. Experts recommend doing this during every belt change. During further installation, the strap must be pulled first on the crankshaft, and then on the camshaft pulley. In this case, it is important to observe the tension force. If the belt is too tight, it will wear out quickly, just as if it is loose. The procedure for assembling parts is carried out in reverse order.
The cost of a belt produced by Continental averages 800 rubles. The Gates product will cost the consumer about 1100 rubles. This option among car owners is considered optimal and reliable. You can buy a Trialli belt, its cost is about 1900 rubles, but the package includes not only a strap, but also a tension roller.
The consequences of a broken timing belt
If vehicle equipped with an engine 11183-50, then if the belt breaks, the consequences will not be terrible - the unit will stop starting and you will not be able to use the car.
When a break occurs on another engine, the problems will be serious:
- In the event of a break, the camshaft will remain in the position in which it was operating at the time of damage. In this case, the crankshaft will continue to move.
- This will cause the pistons to hit the engine valves with high force, which were in the open position when they broke.
- As a result of impacts, these elements will bend, possibly damaging the piston itself. With such a problem, the car owner will have to carry out overhaul power unit.
The timing belt on the 8-valve Grant is the link between the camshaft and crankshaft. The Grant 8 valve timing belt acts as a flexible connection that ensures a silent operation process (the iron chain in older engines created decent noise).
A broken timing belt on the Grant is accompanied by its gradual destruction. The complete destruction of the belt, at the time of the movement of the car, leads to a collision of the pistons with the valves, as a result of which the latter experience various kinds of damage, most often they bend. The only way to avoid valve damage is to prematurely replace the timing belt, the moment of which is written in the car's service book.
The engines of the Lada Grants 11183, unlike the engines of other VAZ models, need to be replaced every 60 thousand km. Replacing the belt at this mileage is solely the recommendation of the vehicle manufacturer.
In order to achieve maximum safety and integrity of the car engine mechanisms, it is recommended to replace it every 40-50 thousand km. It is at this stage that the rollers and the pump begin to wear out.
In most cases, a timing belt break does not occur as a result of complete wear of its structure, but rather a failure (wedge) of rollers or a pump.
In the event that, nevertheless, the timing belt of the Lada Granta 8 valves is torn, the following tools must be used to replace it:
Key on "10";
key on "17";
mounting blade;
special key for adjusting the timing belt tension.
Performing work on replacing the timing belt on an 8-valve engine corresponds to the instructions below. As for the 16-valve engine, the instructions are almost identical to the 8-valve.
Preparing to replace the timing
Replacing the timing belt on an 8-valve engine begins directly by removing the terminals from the battery, after which we already remove the generator drive belt. To replace the belt, you must have full access to the necessary aggregate units. To implement this access, it is necessary to remove the front right wheel.
Replacing the belt is preceded by disassembling the timing mechanism itself, namely, removing its front top cover. Why is this event held? It is necessary to set the first piston to the TDC (Top Dead Center) position.
Tensioner Nut Adjustment
It is the appropriate adjustment of the tension roller, or rather the use of the Lada Granta timing belt in a fixed tension, that determines the resource of the Lada Granta timing belt.
To remove a used or torn timing belt, loosen the tensioner nut, which will bring the belt into a loose position. After that, you can proceed to the next step.
Important: do not try to simply cut off the belt so as not to unscrew the tension bolts. In this case, you will not be able to put a new belt on the shafts.
Generator drive pulley: unscrew the main bolt of the generator pulley
You can unscrew the alternator pulley bolt with the usual keys, which were mentioned above in the list necessary tools. If the bolt does not come out of the alternator pulley, then the following steps must be performed:
Dismantling the plug in the clutch housing
The flywheel teeth are fixed with a mounting blade, the presence of which was justified by the list of necessary tools.
After performing such actions, the alternator pulley bolt will stop scrolling, since the crankshaft will be fixed with a mounting blade.
Dismantling the alternator pulley
The dismantling of the alternator pulley must be performed immediately after removing the mounting blade. After dismantling is carried out, the pulley must be laid on a clean surface. The presence of debris in the aggregate assembly can cause it to jam.
Removing the lower timing cover
The process of dismantling the lower timing cover is carried out by removing the three mounting bolts. This design takes place in engine models Grants 21116, as well.
Removing the timing belt
The last stage is the dismantling of the timing belt, followed by determining the condition of the tension roller. The process of dismantling the belt occurs in the following order:
Removing the timing belt from the camshaft pulley
Removing the belt from the crankshaft.
It is at the second stage that Grant's timing belt is dismantled along with the tensioner. We carry out a visual inspection of the roller, in particular, we determine the external condition and the level of backlash of the mechanism.
At the time of reassembly of the lower timing cover, it is necessary to adjust the tension of the belt itself.
The reasons for the premature breakage of the belt on the Lada Grant remain a mystery, which is based not only on the poor quality of the material used in the belt, but also on the poor assembly quality of the aggregate units through which the timing belt passes.
Among other reasons for the premature breakage of the timing belt, one can note the desire of the car manufacturer to keep up with Euro 3/4. It was the desire to fit the car to these standards that led to the aforementioned negative aspects in the daily operation of the car.
Despite the manufacturer's claims about the quality of the Grant, the timing belt and the threshold of his personal mileage of 200,000 thousand km, it is already torn by 70 - 80 thousand km. A Gates roller belt can be a good and worthy replacement solution.
It is the Lada Granta from priors that the timing belt will fit the Lada Grant and will not cause premature exit out of service. The price of the timing belt on the Grant allows you to change it every 50,000 thousand km, which, in turn, will reduce the likelihood of other cost items regarding the repair of engine valves.
The second method, using a suspended wheel, was described above. When the marks matched, it is necessary to remove the rubber plug located on the gearbox and open the viewing window. The flywheel is visible in it, the risk on it must also coincide with the slot on the body. The next step is to remove the belt from the alternator drive pulley. To do this, loosen the lower mounting bolt of this unit, and unscrew and pull out the upper one.
Then the generator housing can be moved forward and the belt removed from the pulleys. Immediately, using the moment, you can examine the removed belt for defects and damage, and if necessary, change it. This is followed by an operation to loosen the bolt holding the crankshaft pulley. It often happens that it’s just not possible to do this with a ring wrench, especially after a factory tightening. There are several ways.
- Insert a flat powerful screwdriver or pry bar into the flywheel viewing window, blocking it. holding a screwdriver right hand, loosen the pulley bolt with a 17 mm wrench on the left.
- If there is an assistant, the procedure is greatly simplified. One will turn on 4th gear, press and hold the brake pedal, while the second one will unscrew the pulley. It is much more convenient to do this, both hands are free to work.
- Some motorists put a spanner wrench on the pulley bolt and rest it against some element of the body or suspension, after which they turn the crankshaft with the starter in neutral gear. The method is quite dangerous, it is permissible to use it in the most extreme case, when it is impossible to loosen the bolt by other methods.
After the bolt is unscrewed, the pulley is removed and the working part is wiped with a rag. Then you need to loosen the tension roller bolt, the belt tension will loosen and you can remove it. Since the roller should also be changed, it must be unscrewed. The last element that needs to be removed is the bottom cover of the mechanism, it is attached to the engine with three bolts.
This completes the disassembly of the node. Before installing a new roller and timing belt, you need to make sure that the pump drive shaft rotates freely and does not wedge. Otherwise, you will have to make a decision to replace the coolant pump.
Reassembly of the movement
The assembly process is carried out in the reverse order, only at the very beginning you need to make sure that the marks set earlier are in place. Then a new tension roller is installed and a new timing belt is put on the gears, starting from the bottom, from the crankshaft. Supporting the belt in a slight tension with your hand, put it on the camshaft gear so that all the teeth match, and then tighten it with a tension roller.
There are 2 holes in its body, into which you can insert a special plug or round-nose pliers, use them to stretch. After that, tighten the roller bolt with medium force. In order to make sure that the belt is correctly installed and tensioned, it is necessary to make a couple of full turns of the crankshaft, preferably not with a starter, but with a key. Then combine the marks and check again the position of the marks in the viewing window of the flywheel.
There is one caveat: the risk on the camshaft gear can deviate by a couple of mm in one direction or another from the mark on the housing, this is quite acceptable. If the belt is installed incorrectly, the discrepancy will be 1 cm, this is immediately noticeable. It is necessary to loosen its tension again and rearrange the belt one tooth to the right or left, and then repeat the operation. When the new belt is successfully installed and tensioned, you can reassemble the assembly.
When installing the alternator drive belt, remember that the VAZ 2190 does not have a tensioner. Therefore, the body of the unit moves as close as possible to the cylinder block, the belt is put on its pulley completely, and partially on the crankshaft, after which it will be necessary to turn it half a turn so that the consumable falls into place. Further assembly is not a problem; after it, the motor can be started. The operation for such a replacement for a 16-valve Lada Grant engine is distinguished by such details.
- There are two camshafts, the marks will need to be combined, and then checked on two gears.
- It is necessary to change 2 rollers: tension and bypass.
- The new belt will need to be carefully put on the top two gears, passing it past the bypass roller, the process is somewhat more painstaking.
During the replacement work, it is recommended to pay attention to the cleanliness inside the timing mechanism space. As a rule, dust, dirt, products of the old belt in the form of black powder accumulate there, and so on. It will be correct to thoroughly wipe the motor housing, gears and protective cover from the inside.
The whole procedure is quite simple. Knowing how much to change the consumables of the timing mechanism and having a minimum set of devices, everyone is quite capable of doing it on their own.
Replacement process fuel filter on the Lada Grant
List of maintenance works 2 and their cost for a Lada Granta car
It serves to timely open and close the valves in the block head. Such a mechanism is also available on the Lada Grant. However, there are two types of drive - chain and belt. If we talk about the "Grant", then it is the second type that is used here. It must be said that such a drive is quieter, but less reliable. A chain is always harder to break than a belt. However, if you observe the replacement interval, you may not encounter a break. And in today's article, we will pay attention to replacing the Lada Grants timing belt.
How it works?
The principle of operation of this element is quite simple. Let's talk about the location first. And this element is located on the side of the crankshaft pulley. Since the "Grant" has a transverse engine, the belt is located on the side of the right front wheel. Unlike a chain, it does not require lubrication, and therefore is installed openly. The belt has special teeth on the inside. Thanks to them, the element engages with several details at once:
Thus, when the first shaft rotates, the rest of the elements rotate in a chain reaction. And since the belt is flexible, it is tensioned with a special roller for high-quality engagement. Thus, the two shafts rotate synchronously. It is unacceptable for the belt to jump one or more teeth. Otherwise, the intake and exhaust settings are instantly lost. This will be immediately felt on the nature of the behavior of the car. The car will triple, consume more fuel and not pull.
How often to change?
According to the regulations, it is required to replace the timing belt on the Lada Grant with an 8-valve engine every 75 thousand kilometers. However, the manufacturer recommends checking its condition every 15 thousand kilometers. It often happens that the belt has lost tension or has acquired signs of wear ahead of time.
signs of wear
How to understand that this element is out of order? The first sign indicating the need to replace the timing belt on the Grant is a significant wear of the material. This usually occurs due to the unsatisfactory operation of the idler roller bearing or when its position deviates. So, with high humidity, the belt can jump by one or several teeth.
It is important to carefully check the external condition. So, the belt must be replaced if there are remnants of fabric, cracks or delaminations on it. The more such defects, the higher the likelihood that the element will suddenly break. Do not use a too hard belt. This will be reported by the characteristic brilliance of the element. Because of this, good contact with the engine crankshaft pulley is not ensured. What brand to choose a new belt? It is not necessary to purchase the original. There are several good analogues:
But do not buy too cheap analogues. Otherwise, no one can guarantee that such a belt will last the 75 thousand kilometers specified by the manufacturer.
Preparation
For work, we need a standard set of tools, a new belt with a roller, as well as a key for the roller. It would be useful to buy a new alternator belt, since we will also remove it.
Pit work is not required. It is enough to unscrew the right front wheel for comfort. So, you need an additional balloon wrench and a jack. Before lifting under the car, you need to put counter-rollbacks.
Getting Started
So, first we need to remove the plastic protective cover. This can be done with a 5 hexagon. The cover is attached with four bolts. If the 11183 motor is installed on the Grant, here you will need a 10 key for this. It is enough for them to unscrew the three fixing bolts. Next, the crankshaft position sensor is removed. The fixing screw is unscrewed with a key of 10. The DPKV is also dismantled.
Setting labels
Now it is important to install the crankshaft and camshaft according to the marks. To do this, turn on the neutral gear. Remove the rubber cover, which is located on the crankcase (closer to the clutch). We need to align the marks in the scale slot and on the flywheel. Then the latter is fixed with a minus screwdriver. The crankshaft itself can be rotated with a key of 17 or 19 (depending on the specific type of motor). It is better to perform this operation with two people. While one rotates the shaft, the second fixes the position of the marks. The main thing is that they match exactly.
What's next?
Then you need to remove the alternator belt. Only in this way will we get to the Lada Grants timing belt. Weaken the tensioner and remove the generator drive. With a 13 wrench, loosen the lower mounting bolt and unscrew the upper mounting nut. The bolt also comes out. The generator casing is pressed against the engine by means of a wire and fixed.
Changing the belt
When the flywheel is fixed, use a 19 or 17 wrench to unscrew the bolt that holds the generator drive pulley. The pulley together with the washer is dismantled.
- If this is a 11183 series engine, the fixing nut is loosened with a 17 wrench. The roller itself rotates clockwise.
- On other engines, a 15 head is used. It unscrews the bolt by about three turns. Next, the roller will release the belt on its own.
Now we just have to remove the old belt and install a new one. Timing on the Lada Grant with an 8-valve engine is performed in the reverse order. For tension, the outer part of the roller is rotated counterclockwise. In this case, the two marks (rectangular) must coincide with each other. After mounting the element, it is worth checking the labels again.
As for the alternator belt, it is installed in the following sequence:
- First, the generator itself is mounted.
- Next, the belt is put on the pulleys.
- Turning on the fifth gear, roll the car back.
That's all. Belt replacement completed successfully. You can begin to fully operate the car.
About tightening torques
When changing the timing belt on a Lada Grant car, it is important to use a torque wrench. So we will know for sure that the bolts and all connections are well tightened and, most importantly, not overtightened. Depending on the type of part, the following values are set on the key:
Please note: when changing the timing belt on the Lada Grant with an 8-valve engine, first adjust the tension on the roller. And after that, the fixing bolt is tightened.
Conclusion
So, we found out how the timing belt is replaced on the Lada Grant. As you can see, this operation can be performed independently. In total, the replacement will take about two hours. But if the work is not done for the first time, then the time can be halved.
