Few people know that the VAZ 2104 (“four”) also bears the foreign name Lada Nova Break. This is a five-seater station wagon, which belongs to the second generation of AvtoVAZ “classics”.
The first models left the factory in September 1984 and thereby replaced the first generation station wagon - VAZ 2102. Although for another year (until 1985) the Volzhsky Automobile Plant produced both models simultaneously.
VAZ 2104 cars were created on the basis of the VAZ 2105, only they had significant differences:
- extended rear part;
- folding rear bench;
- increased gas tank up to 45 liters;
- rear wipers with washer.
It must be said that the “four” were actively exported to other countries. In total, 1,142,000 VAZ 2104 units were produced.
Along with the VAZ 2104, its modification was also produced - the VAZ 21043. This is a more powerful car with a 1.5 liter carburetor engine and a five-speed gearbox.

Table of fuel costs for VAZ brands.
The table describes the average costs for different VAZ brands . Fuel consumption is presented in three types - city, highway and mixed (average) fuel consumption. All data on fuel costs are from the VAZ car manufacturer. For almost all brands of VAZ cars, fuel consumption does not exceed 10 liters per 100 km, with the exception of the carburetor Niva.
Average fuel consumption VAZ
VAZ has acceptable fuel consumption!
The car is given good dynamics and acceptable fuel consumption thanks to its reliable engine. VAZ has an affordable price for both a new and an old car. Old VAZ brands are acceptable to most people. The new VAZ engine demonstrates extreme efficiency, thanks to which the car has low fuel consumption and a reduced level of harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
VAZ - average quality cars, affordable price and acceptable fuel consumption.
What could cause increased consumption at VAZ?
1. Increased VAZ fuel consumption is observed in cars with a worn out engine. High piston wear will increase fuel consumption of any VAZ brand. Wear is determined by measuring compression in the VAZ engine block. If the compression is low, the piston needs to be replaced (rings, piston, block boring).
2. The increased flow rate is influenced by the coolant temperature, throttle position, mass air flow and detonation sensors.
3. High fuel consumption in VAZ cars is observed when the accelerator drive is faulty, the wheel alignment is adjusted correctly, or tire pressure is reduced.
4. An increase in fuel consumption in VAZ cars with carburetor engines is observed when there is a problem with the carburetor. These are holes in the diaphragms, incorrect adjustment of the choke cable, enlarged fuel jets, mixing up of air jets in two working chambers (chamber 1 = 165 mm, chamber 2 = 125 mm).
Timely completion of technical inspection will allow VAZ to maintain fuel consumption at the level declared by the manufacturer.
What is the fuel consumption per 100 km of VAZ-2104
In Soviet times, car owners were not particularly concerned about the gluttony of their cars - except that the consumption indicators clearly exceeded the norm.
Gasoline was quite cheap, so pouring another portion into the tank had virtually no effect on the family budget. Today the situation has changed, and for the worse. Accordingly, fuel consumption is currently one of the priorities, for example, when purchasing a new iron horse. At the same time, older car owners carefully monitor that fuel consumption does not exceed the norm. This fully applies to the VAZ “classics”. Many representatives of this family today can safely be called venerable old men (by automotive standards). Long service life in combination with design solutions of the 70-80s of the last century lead to the fact that the car becomes quite voracious. Accordingly, VAZ owners strive, if possible, to reduce this indicator. Practice has shown that it is quite possible to do this - the main thing is to know how.
Load capacity and capacity of VAZ station wagons and hatchbacks
Those who especially value a truck in a passenger car prefer station wagons, or, in extreme cases, hatchbacks.
- the most common and cheapest station wagon. The “Four” does not amaze with the high-pile carpets in the trunk (there are none there at all) and the exquisite door upholstery. But the plastic is easy to clean, it is not afraid of spilled Antifreeze and Obzor. Like a truck, the car is spoiled by the awkward trunk shelf, the fifth door opening tapering towards the bottom, and the wheel arches. You can easily transform the interior.
— the last word in the field of domestic universal construction. The successor to the Quartet holds 25% more in volume and 10% more in weight. In terms of carrying capacity, the “eleventh” was even ahead of the spring-loaded “Volga”. The rear seat, like on decent foreign cars, easily folds out in parts (2:1), creating the only problem - where to put the headrests? In general, the “eleventh” is a modern, surprisingly roomy “shed”. In terms of product and price: a front-wheel drive station wagon is twice (!) more expensive than a “classic” one.
If the “barn” is not to your liking, but you need to carry something more than a “diplomat”, they choose a compromise - a hatchback.
— at the beginning of production it was perceived as a prestigious, not a “business” car. Nowadays, when purchasing a Samara, its cargo qualities are increasingly taken into account. When the rear seat is folded down, the luggage compartment is quite spacious, but difficult to load. A natural disadvantage of all hatchbacks: the rear side and the fifth door get in the way. The volume of the cargo compartment is eaten up by the sloping rear wall - with comparable internal dimensions, the “nine” holds 50 liters less than the “four”. The three-door VAZ-2108 will cause even more inconvenience - it can only be loaded through the rear door, while the 2109 allows you to use a pair of side doors. “Nine” is the most modest hatchback in terms of cubic capacity. In this car, the passenger element still dominates. Cargo capabilities are more of an add-on to other qualities.

VAZ-2104 engine and its features
Engine 2104-1000260
can be used for installation on VAZ 2103, 2104, 2106, 21053, 2107 cars. Initially, the VAZ 2104 engine was produced only in a carburetor version. Subsequently, it was modified to use a fuel injection system and received the designation VAZ 2104-21. The VAZ 2104 engine was created on the basis of the previous model - VAZ 2103. The design used: a cylinder block, a connecting rod and piston group, a timing drive and a crankshaft from the 2103 engine.
photo VAZ-2104 engine
Cylinder block from a VAZ 2103 engine. Cylinder diameter - 76.00 mm. The accepted overhaul dimensions are 76.40 and 76.80. The engine is equipped with a crankshaft 2103 or an interchangeable shaft model 21213. To ensure the operation of the injection system, it was necessary to install components and parts from other engines that were originally developed for an injection fuel supply system. A new camshaft drive cover is used, on which there is space for installing a sensor that controls the position of the crankshaft. It was necessary to install cylinder head 2104-1003015, an original design, with enlarged areas for the intake manifold. The design of the head provides for the installation of nozzles. The camshaft, valves and springs correspond to those installed on the VAZ 2103 engine. The installation of hydraulic supports for the valve levers is not provided. The timing drive is carried out from a double-row bush-roller chain 2103-1006040. The chain tensioning mechanism is mechanical, similar to the device on the VAZ 2103 engine.
A pulley with a damper and a drive disk 21214-1005058-11 is installed on the crankshaft. To drive the generator, a belt 2107-1308020 is used (length - 944 mm). The injection modification 2104 has an original power system. The system includes an electric fuel pump with a fuel level indicator sensor, fuel lines, a fuel filter, a fuel rail with injectors, an air filter, air supply hoses, a throttle valve and a fuel vapor recovery system. To clean the air entering the engine, an air filter model 2112 is installed. A receiver model 2104 or model 2123-1008027 is installed together with the intake manifold. To adjust the volume of incoming air, a throttle pipe 2112 is installed. The electric fuel pump module 21073-1139009 is installed in the tank and supplies fuel to the fuel rail and injectors. The original fuel rail 2104-1144010 is used, box type with pressure regulator and return drain pipe. Injection is carried out using four nozzles of pair-parallel action. It is possible to install nozzles BOSCH 0 280 158 502 (black, thin), SIEMENS VAZ 6393 (beige, thick) or other types with the appropriate parameters. The ignition system includes: a Model 2112 ignition module mounted on a special bracket on the cylinder block, spark plugs and high voltage wires. The ignition module includes two ignition coils and two electronic control devices. In accordance with control signals from the control unit, the ignition module generates and supplies high-voltage pulses to the spark plugs. Ignition control is assigned to the electronic engine management system. This system controls the amount of air and fuel supplied to the cylinders, controls the operation of the fuel pump, controls the supply of high-voltage pulses from the ignition coil to the spark plugs and adjusts the ignition timing, regulates the crankshaft speed at idle. The main control element of the system is the electronic control unit (ECU)-controller. The engine complies with EURO-2 toxicity standards.
The VAZ 2104 model was produced until 2012, and in recent years the car was produced in Izhevsk. She received many modifications. Cars of recent years of production were equipped with a radiator grille from the VAZ 2107.
VAZ 2104 fuel consumption per 100 km, injector
The VAZ 2104 car was developed by Soviet engineers for the broadest masses of the population, the main tasks that were set for the developers were the ease of assembly and repair of the car, as well as the maximum cost reduction in its manufacture and maintenance. They began producing cars back in 1984, their production continued until 2012, during which time the engine was modernized several times, the body concept remained unchanged, this is a station wagon with five doors, with a spacious luggage compartment. As for the fuel consumption of the VAZ 2104, depending on the engine size, its design and the quality of the road, the car consumes from 6 to 10 liters of gasoline or about 6 liters of diesel fuel. As a rule, a consumption of 10 liters is absolutely normal. If your foursome consumes more fuel, then this is either a malfunction in the car’s systems, or the gas station does not add gasoline.
An interesting article about biofuels produced from ordinary sawdust, read more here.
How to check? It’s very simple, take a 10-liter canister, pour fuel to the neck, then pour it into the gas tank, and drive until you stop, but such a test can break the gas pump.
Questionable ways to adjust fuel consumption
Questionable methods for reducing gasoline consumption on both carburetor and injection engines include installing fuel activators on hoses or adding additives to the tank. Magnetic treatment of the hydrocarbon flow does not affect the processes of formation of the working mixture and combustion, so the installation of activators does not bring results. The owner may note a change in consumption of 0.1-0.3 liters, which is a statistical error and is associated with unstable quality of gasoline or a change in the road situation.
Adjusting the carburetor to excessively lean the working mixture and reducing idle speed leads to unstable operation of the engine, which stalls when the speed is reduced. Some owners, when driving downhill, move the gearbox lever to the neutral position. If the engine stops, the brake booster stops working. On a long descent, you must leave the gear engaged and release the accelerator pedal (switch to engine braking mode). Cutting off the fuel supply improves efficiency.
The use of additives negatively affects engine parts on which carbon deposits form, causing glow ignition and disrupting the normal operation of the engine. Until the beginning of the 90s. last century, due to a shortage of AI-93 gasoline, it was practiced to convert engines to fuel with a lower octane number (for example, A-76 was widely used to refuel trucks). The modification consisted of installing a thicker head gasket and adjusting the ignition timing, but it negatively affected the power and service life of the VAZ-2107 engine.
How to reduce fuel consumption
There are many factors “thanks to” which a VAZ 2104 car can experience high fuel consumption, the main ones can be expressed in a list:
- Aggressive driving style, many drivers continue to accelerate even before a red traffic light, bringing the engine to roar. It is best to get rid of this habit at the learning stage, because you should not exceed the speed limit, even when you are in a hurry, this is the basic rule of the road.
- Warming up the car in the winter, unfortunately there is no escape from this, can only be saved by a heated garage.
- Refueling with low-quality fuel, you should not refuel at gas stations that look suspicious; as a rule, they are rarely responsible for the quality of gasoline.
- An injector malfunction is most often characterized by a loss of power, which subsequently leads to an increase in consumption due to an increase in the amount of gasoline injected.
These are the basic principles of efficiency of the VAZ 2104 car, although there are many more small factors for increasing consumption, because often a simple replacement of the fuel filter is enough.

VAZ-2104
“Four” replaced “Two”. The appearance has been completely updated. The car has become more modern and comfortable. The interior was completely changed; it was not equal in comfort to prestigious foreign cars, but the seats, dashboard, rear seats, and interior trim became more modern and comfortable.
In 1999, a modification of the VAZ 21047 was released. In appearance and body, it was the same car, but the interior was borrowed in an exact match from the VAZ-2107. A five-speed gearbox was also installed, instead of a four-speed one.
Since 1999, a model with a diesel engine with a volume of 1520 cubic cm of domestic production also began to be produced.
On the secondary market, the VAZ-2104 was in crazy demand. It was a fairly reliable station wagon and was indispensable for a villager. Competition came from foreign cars, but new station wagons were not available to a wide range of buyers, and 10-year-old used ones required huge repair costs.
VAZ-2104 - VAZ-2105 engine, 1300 cubic centimeters, with a 4-speed gearbox, base model.
VAZ-21041 - engine from VAZ-2101, 1200 cubic centimeters, with 4-speed. Checkpoint. Not serially produced.
VAZ-21042 - export version, engine from VAZ-2103, 1500 cubic centimeters, right-hand drive.
VAZ-21043 - engine from the VAZ-2103, 1500 cubic centimeters, with 4- or 5-speed. Gearbox, in versions with electrical equipment and interior from the VAZ-2107.
VAZ-21044 - engine from the VAZ-2107, 1700 cubic centimeters, single injection, 5-speed. Gearbox, export model.
VAZ-21045 - engine from the VAZ-2107, 1800 cubic centimeters, single injection, 5-speed. Gearbox, export model. Not serially produced.
VAZ-21045D - engine from VAZ-341, 1500 cubic centimeters, diesel, 5-speed. Checkpoint.
VAZ-21047 - engine from VAZ-2103, 1500 cubic centimeters, 5-speed. Gearbox, an improved version with the interior of a VAZ-2107. Export modifications were equipped with a radiator grille from the VAZ-2107. Such models also arrived on the secondary market in single quantities and were sold in the first hours. This model is still in demand today.
Is it possible to develop individual standards?
Whether or not to use the standards of the Ministry of Transport in your work is the decision of the company’s management. That is, at the legislative level there are no requirements for the mandatory use of NRT.
The Tax Code does not require standardization of costs for fuels and lubricants either according to the corporate income tax or under the simplified tax system. A similar position is supported by the Ministry of Finance (Letters dated March 22, 2019 No. 03-03-07/19283, dated September 27, 2018 No. 03-11-11/69335). Each organization must make its own decision about working with fuel standards.
Cost standards are allowed to be developed independently. For example, an institution, based on the recommendation of the Ministry of Transport, approves its own standards. The indicators correspond to the real characteristics of vehicles used in the process of life.
The ministry's recommendations are just standard values calculated based on the general characteristics of car brands. Despite the correction factors, in practice the values differ significantly from the actual costs. Therefore, organizations have the right to approve their own indicators.
Approve standard values by local order.
What affects consumption?
Next, we will look at what can affect and how to reduce fuel consumption on the VAZ-2106. Here we note that it will not be possible to reduce consumption below certain indicators, since the engine will not operate in air, but minimizing consumption as much as possible is quite possible. Here we will also not consider miracle devices and additives that supposedly can significantly help in this matter and reduce gasoline consumption by almost half. All this is nothing more than another way to lure money from the car owner, but there is no real benefit from it.
VAZ-2106 has high fuel consumption, then you can take some steps that can really have a positive effect on gasoline consumption.
The main criteria that affect consumption are:
- Technical condition of the car;
- Features of operation;
Fuel consumption, increased consumption - what is the reason? How to reduce?

Actually the subject. What determines fuel consumption and how can this consumption be reduced? Who has proven or not so proven methods? let's share?
What about additives, various fuel additives or some additional equipment? Who tried what?

So, let’s analyze what determines fuel consumption and how to reduce it?
1. What (what kind of crap) did you fill at the gas station and how much they cheated you, i.e. how much of this slurry called zebin was underfilled 2. How big is your car (1 ton of iron, rubber and plastic, or 2, or even three - there are those too) 3. How well the engine of your bucket with nuts works 4. How often and sharply you press the gas pedal/brake pedal.
So, the first point is completely beyond your control, the second and third you can influence to a limited extent, mainly when buying a car, and the fourth is completely in your control. If you don’t press the gas/brake pedals at all, then the consumption may become zero! ))) Use my wisdom while I'm alive!

By the way, the issue of fuel consumption is especially interesting to me. All sorts of additives, etc. This is the ravings of a madman in my opinion, I think many will agree with me. Various additives can only cause time to your engine and fuel system. According to the vehicle's technical passport, the average fuel consumption is indicated. You can reduce it by refueling with high-quality gasoline and driving the car smoothly, without such things as slipping, over-throttle, etc.
But if the car consumes more fuel than it should according to its passport, this is a problem. What should I do? Or more precisely, what is the reason? Where to look?
The car is a VAZ 21041-30 (four). Injector. I measured it not with the on-board computer, but with the fuel level light in the fuel tank. I fill up with 12 liters of gasoline - enough for exactly 100 km. And so 20 times, or even more. This is around the city. On the highway, with the calmest and most economical driving style, 10 liters still come out. That's a LOT. On the highway, 7-8 liters per hundred would be just right.
The question is - what to do? It is clear that the first thing you need to do is check the injector (the brains of the car), if there are any problems, the computer will remember them and show them, BUT. Firstly, they already checked it - and nothing abnormal was shown. All indicators are normal. Secondly, considering that this is still a Russian auto industry, I somehow don’t really trust its computer. But maybe it’s not the brains at all, but the hardware. What affects consumption in the car itself? (valve or something else.)

— you also need to take into account the mileage of the VAZ — the type of injector, sometimes it’s a device like an electronic carburetor without feedback — the type of firmware, there are a lot of options and modifications. If you want power, if you want savings, you need to take into account both the mileage of the VAZ and the maintenance of the car.
. The manufacturer provides ideal conditions, they do not exist. Let's remember the operating time of a laptop or phone. smiled?

Not an argument. 1. The car is 4 years old, I bought it new, the mileage in 4 years is only 35,000 km. 2. What does injector type mean? It’s a computer and a computer in Africa, and a licensed one. This is not an abacus. 3. It makes sense to do the firmware if you want to increase the engine power, and accordingly the consumption will increase. And reducing consumption due to firmware is not an option, because the car may not move at all. First you need to find out why the consumption has increased, i.e. not normal.
Well, idk. how about ideal conditions. A friend's Logan eats 5-5.5 liters on the highway. Well, to hell with the VAZ - 7-8 liters, but not 10.

There is no need to confuse the basin and the logan (especially the logan of the first issues and the basin of the latest). what else can it do, almost everything, there are many options, from valves to chassis (camber, compression, valve adjustment, etc., for example, trunk arches at a good speed of +1l).

Owner reviews
“The car is well suited for my work as a courier. Absolutely all the goods that need to be transported fit. The car is well equipped and driving around the city is quite comfortable. Outwardly, of course, ugly, but this is not so important. But it is assembled with very high quality and is highly reliable. I hardly repair it, I just change consumables and carry out technical inspections on a timely basis. The engine, however, is rather weak. You can't really go on the highway; you can only use it normally in the city. And the high consumption is somehow not impressive. I spend about 12 liters,” writes Nikolai from Penza.
“A good car, but only for the city. I tried to take it on a trip to visit relatives in another city - I will never go again. There is no comfort at all, constantly in tension. You should never let go of the steering wheel, otherwise it will start to move to the sides. The motor is very weak. If in the city you can easily drive just by pressing the gas a little, then here I had to press it to the floor. You should also not drive off the road at all. There is no cross-country ability; you can even get stuck in a puddle. But most of all I was disappointed by the consumption, which reaches 14 liters in the city,” said Kirill from Perm.
“When my father bought himself a new car, I got this one. And now, for ten years now I have not parted with him. I studied all the pros and cons. The most important thing is to avoid long trips, as this is a real test. It doesn’t maintain speed, and if you load it up, the car barely moves at all. The interior is poorly made, the materials are cheap, and there are very few functions. Ideal for a car - quiet city driving. But even here there are drawbacks - fuel consumption, which in summer can be as much as 14 liters, and in winter – as much as 15,” wrote Oleg from Tyumen.
“My four are almost thirty years old. During this time there were practically no breakdowns, only various little things. All that was damaged was the body, which I successfully repaired. Otherwise the car remained almost like new. It’s stupid to compare its equipment with new models, but for everyday tasks you can’t think of anything better. There is a lot of space in it, it drives calmly, and it consumes little fuel. I don't spend more than 11 liters. In winter, of course, a little more - about 12, but still, when compared with our other cars, this value is quite modest,” the car from Leonid from Yakutsk received such results.
“I bought a four especially for work, because I don’t mind killing it. I use it to transport various materials to rather hard-to-reach places. And, oddly enough, the car was safe and sound, although I was worried that it wouldn’t last long. There is a lot of space in it, which is important to me, but it is poorly equipped, there is practically nothing in the cabin, and something is always creaking. There is no sound insulation at all. The engine is weak, but it is enough for a leisurely drive somewhere. It just eats up a fair amount of gasoline. My normal consumption is 13 liters,” this is Andrey’s review from Moscow.
“I bought the car just for the soul. I started tuning. I redid the interior, trimmed it with normal materials, and covered the seats in leather. Now I want to take care of the appearance and chassis. In the end I will replace the motor with something solid. But that’s when I’ve saved up some money. So the machine is quite good, but in current it is terribly not cozy and comfortable. And the engine drives slowly and consumes a lot of fuel,” said Nikita from Tula.
