Decoding the VIN code of a VAZ - deciphering the VIN code of a VAZ


Location of the engine number on the VAZ-2112

It happens that unknowing car enthusiasts are able to spend more than one hour under the hood of a car looking for the required identification number.
The thing is that during operation, some of them can become covered with a thick layer of dirt, which makes them simply unsuitable for visual perception without prior preparation. The following two tabs change content below.

All my life I have been surrounded by cars! First, in the village, already in the first grade, I was rushing around on a tractor through the fields, then there was JAVA, then a penny. Now I am a third-year student at the Polytechnic Faculty of Automotive Engineering. I work part-time as a car mechanic and help repair cars for all my friends.

Remove the air filter box, then you can see the engine number (or look through the mirror). But in general, the engine has long been transferred to the category of consumables, and its number is not checked when checking the numbers in the MREO. And in the vehicle registration certificate, there is now no line about the engine number.

The model and engine number on the Lada Granta are stamped on the end of the cylinder block above the clutch housing. You can read the number using a mirror.

Exceptions

Constantly faced with unreadable engine numbers, owners of Lada Granta and other cars find themselves in an unpleasant situation when registering their car. You have to scrub off rust and dirt from the surface of the cylinder block. This takes a long time and creates certain problems.

On some foreign cars there is no engine code at all. Many vehicle manufacturers have come to this conclusion due to the fact that the engine is increasingly being replaced with a contract one in the event of a serious breakdown. To avoid problems with registering such a car with a donor unit, they stopped indicating this number in the documents and checking it with the engraving on the engine body.

Design and construction

The first representative of the Lada “Granta” family received an all-metal 4-door body designed for 5 passengers, as well as front-wheel drive, and although the car was new at the time of its appearance, some parts were borrowed from the outdated “Kalina” with a sedan body. Such parts include the body frame, doors and some other mechanisms. Among the innovations, it can be noted that it was on the Grant that negative camber of the rear wheels was first used for greater stability on the road and for trouble-free cornering at high speed. The car's front suspension is independent, MacPherson spring type, spring, with anti-roll bar, and the rear is semi-independent, wishbone, spring, with telescopic shock absorbers. The first Lada Granta cars were equipped with a gearbox from the same Kalina with a lever drive; this gearbox was already quite outdated for its time, because it was created on the basis of old manual gearboxes that appeared back in the days of the VAZ-2108 , but with minor changes. After modernizing the car, the gearbox was also modernized and received a cable drive, this made it possible to reduce backlash and eliminate unpleasant vibrations of the gearshift lever, and also made shifting clearer. Currently, in addition to the 5-speed manual gearbox, a 4-speed automatic and 5-speed robotic gearbox are installed.

Lada Granta Wiki. Characteristics of the new VAZ Lada Granta

LADA Granta - model description

Lada Granta is a front-wheel drive car produced by AvtoVAZ class B. It has been produced since 2011.

Lada Granta (another name for VAZ-2190) is a budget front-wheel drive class B sedan, created on the basis of the 2004 Kalina model. The Granta was put into production after three models were produced at once: Samara, Kalina of the first generation and VAZ 2107. The official premiere of the Lada Granta took place at the Congress of the Union of Russian Mechanical Engineers, held in May 2011.

The development of the model began in 2009 as part of the Low-Cost project, the goal of which was to create a car that was as affordable as possible for the population with a higher level of safety and comfort. The first sketch of the model was created in March 2009, and the project to create the Lada Granta started two months later. A vote was held on the manufacturer’s website, during which the name for the new VAZ model was determined. The first pilot version of Grant was created in January 2011. Serial production of the model began in October of the same year, and two months later the car went on sale.

In the summer of 2010, during a period of abnormal heat, Lada Grant prototypes underwent intensive testing. Testing was carried out, among other things, with a trailer weighing 900 kilograms. Based on the results of these tests, the model was subject to modifications. In particular, the engine compartment has been widened for better cooling, and the air intake openings have been widened. These changes allowed the car to withstand peak loads at extremely high temperatures.

In July 2012, production of a pilot version of the Lada Grant in a hatchback body began. This modification will presumably go on sale in the second half of 2013.

Technical features of Lada Granta

There are not very many technical differences from the Lada Kalina in the Grant model. The wheelbase and rear wheel track were increased, and the front of the car became longer. For the “Norma” and “Lux” trim levels, with hydraulic booster, the wheel alignment settings have changed. This change had a positive effect on directional stability. The car also received a new steering rack, which significantly improves handling and reduces the number of steering wheel turns to three. In the “Standard” configuration, which does not include power steering, the steering rack maintains the number of revolutions equal to four, and the caster value also remains the same (1°40').

For the front suspension of the Grant model, new shock-absorbing struts were selected, providing better lateral stability.

For the first time in the history of AvtoVAZ, the production Lada model received a rear suspension with a wheel camber angle of 1°, which is installed at the factory and does not require adjustment during operation. In addition, a positive toe-in of the rear wheels of 10′ is provided. These changes ensure good stability of the car on the road and significantly improve driving characteristics.

Interesting facts about Lada Granta

Lada Granta is the first car of the AvtoVAZ company, which began to be equipped with an automatic transmission.

The Grant model borrowed almost 70% of all parts and components from the Kalina model.

Lada Granta is the first car to have negative camber, while all previous cars have parallel camber.

The queues for the Grant model during the first month of sales stretched for 3-4 months in advance.

Where is the engine number on the 8 valve grant?

This family (“Lada-Kalina”) includes two car models, the VAZ 2118 and VAZ 2119, the cars can be equipped with different engines, also from VAZ. But in general, engine numbers are located under the hood which needs to be opened.

Next, look carefully at the end of the cylinder block just above the clutch housing, this is where the engine number of this car should be stamped.

Here is a photo for clarity.

That is, in the same place as other VAZ front-wheel drive cars.

It’s more convenient to look at the number with the help of a small mirror and plus a flashlight; if there is no mirror, then you may have to remove the air filter with the casing (housing), because the pipes make it difficult to see that same number without a mirror.

If you are going to the traffic police station, you don’t need to remove anything yourself; the police are equipped with a mirror and a flashlight.

Perhaps the stamped number is covered with dirt mixed with oil, this is a common occurrence, the number must be cleaned with a clean rag.

The rating data is given on the plate attached to the upper cross member of the radiator frame on the right side. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is stamped on the right mudguard cup, near the shock absorber upper mount mount.

Hello, I became the owner of a Lada Grant and in this honor I signed up for your community. I switched from eight.

And I immediately have a question: how can you accurately determine the engine model? I have an eight-valve engine, the passport says 87 hp. like 11186 with lightweight pistons (which bends the valve in the event of a toothed belt break), but the old-style plastic timing belt casing, like on the 11183 engine (which does not bend the valve). As a result, I am in a stupor, and on the block I only found the inscription 1118... and how can I find out what kind of heart is beating under my hood?

Where is the body number on the Lada Granta?

I didn’t see much sense in the writing about registration, if not for one BUT.

I thought that I would register without B, as was the case with four, but I was a little mistaken. I, like smart Masha, am registered on the government services website. So I followed the same path, signing up for registration in the morning. I made an appointment at 9:30, believing that an hour from 8:30 would be enough for me to complete the inspection report. I was thinking, well, what is there to look at in a 14-year-old car... That’s my main mistake =) When checking the engine numbers, I was confronted with the fact that they couldn’t distinguish the number (despite the fact that it wasn’t the nasty “Arkasha”, which I came across at four, and a normal guy - he re-examined the Streetking Passat and, when he was also forced to clean the engine number, he also inspected my girlfriend’s Corsa and then everything was no problem with him). So I drove to the parking lot, thinking about how, where and with what I would rub the license plate. I knew its location, because... the day before, just in case, I looked for this information on Google. There is nothing to rub. I went to the store to buy napkins. In a good way, you need to remove the air vent and it seems like the number will be visible. It is easy to remove the filter housing without tools, but the problem was that the tube from the expansion tank (4) and the terminal from the battery (5) did not want to snap off, and they were attached to the filter housing with a clip-clamp.

Where to look for the vin code

Most often, the VIN code can be found under the hood, in a special window with a barcode located on the windshield.

Places where you can find the body number Pay attention to the floor trim near the driver's seat or on the driver's door pillar. “Where is the body number on American cars?” - you ask

American cars are somewhat different from domestic and European cars. Often in an American car you can see the VIN code right on the dashboard on the driver’s side. It can be easily seen in the place where the hood and windshield meet. Duplicating the VIN code provides greater security against theft

“Where is the body number on American cars?” - you ask. American cars are somewhat different from domestic and European cars. Often in an American car you can see the VIN code right on the dashboard on the driver’s side. It can be easily seen in the place where the hood and windshield meet. Duplicating the VIN code provides greater security against theft.

The traditional location of the body number is considered to be such parts as the cylinder block, the cylinder head, and the partition between the engine and the passenger compartment. On vehicles with a frame structure, the manufacturer applies this code to the side members. You may also find this mark visible in the engine compartment. This type of plate is firmly attached to the motor using rivets or screws.

Since you have already climbed into the trunk, we recommend installing a net in it. Read more about how to choose a net for the trunk here.

When I registered it, I looked for the body number in the usual place for AvtoVAZ. This place is the trunk niche for the spare tire; this is where the number was on all my previous Lada models (VAZ-2109, VAZ-2114, VAZ-2115, LADA PRIORA).

In a Lada Granta car there is no body number in the trunk niche!

Is there a body number in the cabin?

Before going and registering the car, I read on the Internet that there is a duplicate number in the car under the back seat in the middle. It was also written that you need to lower the backrest, pull the upholstery out of the seal, or find a slot in the upholstery under which the number will be located.

This information is not correct, and on a Lada Granta car as standard, there is no body number in these places!

When registering, the traffic police inspector will check the body number in the documents (car title) with the real one, which is duplicated on the body. Also, when purchasing a car, we recommend checking these numbers and visually inspecting the location on the body.

Where does the traffic police inspector look for the body number when registering?

When registering, the traffic police inspector checks the numbers only in the engine compartment; we recommend that you carefully wipe them before the inspection procedure.

Car owners also need to know the legal subtleties. Sometimes the preparation of technical documents causes many difficulties. Don't know where the engine number is on the grant. It is difficult for a person without experience to find it the first time. You can spend a lot of time on this procedure if you do not have certain knowledge in this area. In this article we will figure out what the engine number should look like, where it is located and what it is needed for.

First you need to decide why you need a motor code? If you just need to find out information about it, then you can use the documents for the car and find out the code from there. It is also included in the vehicle registration certificate. Sometimes, the number must be found on the grant engine itself. For example, when submitting an application to register a car with the traffic police or when buying and selling a car, when the buyer wants to see if the engine in the car is original.

VIN code

1. The identification number (VIN) is stamped on the floor under the front passenger seat on the right side. To inspect the room, a valve has been cut out of the carpet. The VIN code is also duplicated on the wall between the engine compartment and the engine.

Depending on the configuration of the Lada XRAY, there may be a glove box under the passenger seat. In this case, to access the number, you must fully extend the movable part of the glove box by pulling the stops outward on both sides.

2. The marking (nameplate) is located on the right pillar, below, near the threshold.

It indicates the model, car number, engine model, weight data, number for spare parts, design options, and configurations. Explanation:

  1. Manufacturer's name OJSC AVTOVAZ (AVTOVAZ).
  2. Vehicle type approval number. It is given in full in the vehicle passport.
  3. Vehicle identification number VIN.
  4. Technically permissible maximum vehicle weight.
  5. Technically permissible maximum weight of a road train.
  6. Technically permissible maximum axle weight on the front axle.
  7. Technically permissible maximum axle weight on the rear axle.
  8. Vehicle designation.
  9. Engine designation.
  10. Number for spare parts. The number for spare parts corresponds to the serial number of the vehicle leaving the assembly line. When ordering spare parts, you must refer to the information contained on the identification plate.
  11. Market circulation sign.

Let us recall that in accordance with the Decision of the Customs Union Commission dated June 15, 2011 No. 711, the model year is defined as a conditional year indicated by the manufacturer (usually following the actual year of manufacture of the vehicle).

At JSC AVTOVAZ, the start of the model year is set on July 1 of the calendar year. Thus, from January 1 to June 30, the model year corresponds to the actual year of manufacture of the car, and from July 1 to December 31 corresponds to the one following the actual year of manufacture of the car.

In some vehicles, the unit number is duplicated in the trunk and interior. This does not apply to Lada Granta. In this vehicle it is indicated only in the engine compartment.

Location of the Lada Granta engine number in the engine compartment:

  1. Vehicle identification number;
  2. Motor number (located on the corner of the block, above the body part);
  3. A table indicating the vehicle's passport data.

In order to find the engine number for the Lada Granta, you need to open the hood and carefully inspect the parts. The desired object is located at the end of the cylinder block above the clutch housing. Sometimes some parts may interfere with normal inspection of the surface. In such cases, use a mirror and a flashlight. If you do not have such a device, you can remove the air filter, which will give you an overview of the desired area. When going to the traffic police, it is not recommended to remove spare parts, since they have their own way of inspecting the engine compartment.

Often, car owners cannot find the code for an 8-valve VAZ engine due to rust or dirt mixed with the engine oil. In such cases, first of all you need to clean the surface to be inspected. To do this, you will need a rust removing solution, a wire brush and a clean rag. After cleaning, it will be easier to view the surface.
