Purpose of the braking system on the VAZ 2106 and its operation

Brakes are necessary in order to stop the car in time, and depending on the situation, you may need to do this either smoothly or abruptly. Before we figure out how the brakes work on the “six,” it should be said that this car has two braking systems: primary and secondary.

The primary system is responsible for blocking the front wheels. It includes:

  • a pair of calipers with hydraulic cylinders pressed into them;
  • four rectangular brake pads;
  • two brake discs;
  • hoses delivering brake fluid to the primary circuit.

The secondary braking system is responsible for blocking the rear wheels. The parts it consists of are practically the same. There is only one difference: the pads of the secondary system are not flat, but C-shaped. And they are installed not in the brake caliper, but in a special drum.

The purpose of the primary braking system is to ensure a smooth stop of the vehicle while driving. And the secondary system locks the car in place by locking its rear wheels after they stop.

Understanding the operation of the primary braking system is not difficult. The driver, by pressing the brake pedal, causes the supply of brake fluid to the hydraulic cylinders located in the front calipers. Pistons pop out from the cylinders and are connected to flat brake pads. They gradually compress the brake disc, slowing down its rotation until it comes to a complete stop. Together with it, the front wheels of the car also stop. This ensures smooth braking of the VAZ 2106 while driving.

The rear brakes are designed slightly differently. When the driver, stopped in a parking lot, pulls up the handbrake, the hydraulic cylinders located between the pads extend their pistons. As a result, the C-shaped pads begin to move apart and put pressure on the inner surface of the brake drum, securely fixing the rear wheels and preventing the car from moving.

Brake pads

The principle of operation of the “six” brake pads is absolutely the same for all wheels. When the pads work, they simply convert one type of energy into another. The driver sees an obstacle, presses the brake pedal, and the pads come into contact with the brake disc or the inner wall of the brake drum. Friction appears at the point of contact, which causes rapid heating. That is, the kinetic energy generated when the wheels of the car rotate is converted into thermal energy, which warms up the brakes. The result of this transformation is that the machine stops.

A special protective material is attached to the working surface of the pads, which has an increased coefficient of friction. And its hardness is significantly lower than the hardness of the brake disc. To obtain such properties, manufacturers use various composite materials, the main filler of which is sawdust of soft metals, such as copper. The pads on the front wheels are flat and they compress the brake disc from the outside. On the rear wheels, the pads are C-shaped and rest against the walls of the brake drum from the inside.

Step-by-step process for replacing brake pads on a VAZ 2107

After preparing all the tools, first measure the fluid level in the corresponding reservoir. The engine must be turned off. If the indicator is exceeded from the maximum, select some of the fluid so that nothing subsequently gets on the brake disc.

Raise the handbrake and place chocks under the wheels to prevent the car from rolling. Only now can you lift the car using a jack. Remove one wheel and clean the entire mechanism responsible for braking using a rag. If rust is visible, apply WD-40 for easy removal of the guides.

Unsplit the guides with thin-nose pliers. Place a drift in a convenient position and carefully knock out the guides (not completely) to the extent that the brake pads are freed.

Remove the pressure springs from the pads. Now take pliers and use them to press the pistons into the cylinders. Once completed, you can remove the brake pad from the mechanism.

After dismantling the part, carry out an analytical inspection - determine the degree of production; if everything is normal, replacing it is a waste of time. The part can still continue to work out its service life, and the malfunction itself lies in a completely different functional unit of the car. If you determine the presence of wear, prepare a new pad for installation.

Take some grease and apply it to the guides. Be especially careful - the product should not come into contact with other functional components of the brake system.

To successfully install a new brake pad, all steps are performed in reverse order:

  1. Install the block.
  2. Install the springs.
  3. Reinstall the guides to secure the pad.
  4. Use thin-nose pliers to tighten the guides.
  5. Check that all mechanisms are secure, after which you can install the wheel.
  6. Lower the jack and remove the supports.

Once the procedure is complete, repeat the same with the other front wheel.

Once the pads are installed, start bleeding the brakes. To do this, simply press the corresponding pedal sharply several times. Then check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. If the level is lower than required, add the missing amount.

As you learned from this article, in order to replace the front brake pads on a domestic car, you do not need to have any special knowledge. Having the necessary tools, as well as some care, will allow you to complete this type of repair work quickly and efficiently. If you do not want to frequently replace this part, select high-quality products (Ferodo, Nippon, ATE). The service life of such pads is noticeably higher than that of cheap analogues with a service life of up to 10 thousand km or less.

If you feel that you do not have enough experience to perform this work, contact a private workshop where a specialist will complete the work in a short time.

Payment via WebMoney

After selecting payment via WebMoney, the payment system will launch, where you need to select the payment method: bank card or WebMoney wallet.

If you already have a WebMoney wallet, then you need to log into it and make a payment.

Replacing front pads

As already mentioned, the front brakes of the VAZ 2107 are disc. Replacing them is much easier. After hanging it on a jack and removing the wheel, we gain access to the caliper. Using a large screwdriver or pry bar, we open the pads, thereby pressing the brake pistons into the cylinders.

Unscrew and remove the guides of the front pads, and then remove the pads themselves. We install new ones after the brake pistons are fully unclenched. Insert the guides and secure them with cotter pins. This is where the replacement ends. It should be noted that disc pads wear unevenly, so usually replace one that is more worn.

Attention! If during work it is discovered that the brake drum or disc has a damaged, uneven working surface, something must be done with them - grind or change. Otherwise, the new pads will wear out too quickly and all your efforts will be ineffective.

Main brake cylinder

The braking system on the VAZ 2106 is divided into two circuits: primary and secondary. This is done so that if the front brakes break down, the driver can use the rear ones and vice versa. Both the primary and secondary circuits are equipped with hydraulic cylinders that push the pistons out of the shoes. And the pressure in this entire system is created by the master cylinder. After braking begins, the piston in this cylinder begins to move, pumping fluid into the primary circuit (or into the secondary circuit - it all depends on which brakes the driver used).

The fluid reaches hydraulic cylinders through hoses, from which pistons extend, pressing on the pads. In general, in the main cylinder of the “six” there is not one, but two powerful pistons placed in special sealing containers. The main piston is connected to the main brake pedal rod, and the additional one is connected to the main one and begins to move after it. When there is no longer a need to brake, the driver removes his foot from the brake pedal. After this, return springs come into play, removing the displaced pistons to their original positions until the next braking.

If you open the hood of a VAZ 2106, the main brake cylinder can be seen under the vacuum booster, with which it forms a single system. And next to this cylinder there is a small tank, divided by a partition into two unequal halves. This reservoir stores a small reserve of brake fluid. If a leak begins in some circuit, then liquid will flow into the system from this tank for some time, replenishing the losses. If the fluid supply runs out before the leak is found and repaired, the brakes will fail and the driver will be in mortal danger.

Typical signs of VAZ 2106 brake failure

The braking system is the most important part of a car. Not only safety, but also the life of the driver depends on its serviceability. Therefore, the owner of a VAZ 2106 should monitor the condition of the brakes especially carefully. Let's list the most common breakdowns in the braking systems of "sixes":

    The brake pedal travel has increased too much. This malfunction indicates that brake fluid is gradually leaving the system. The cause of the leak is usually a broken brake hose. But sometimes the problem can also arise due to hydraulic cylinders, the gaskets in which lose their tightness over time. In addition, the pedal may begin to wobble due to air entering the braking system. The solution to all these problems is obvious: you need to make sure that all elements of the system are sealed and there are no fluid leaks anywhere. The inspection should begin with the hoses, gradually moving to the cylinders. Leaking parts should be replaced immediately. Driving with faulty brakes is strictly unacceptable;

Brake pad malfunctions

The following characteristic signs indicate problems with the pads:

  • sounds unusual for brake operation (creaking, squealing, grinding);
  • car skidding when braking;
  • the need to apply more force to the brake pedal;
  • black or metal dust on wheels;
  • increased braking time;
  • The pedal does not return to its initial position when released.

Screech

Brake pads must be changed when the friction material thickness reaches 1.5 mm. If this is not done, a grinding (squealing) sound will occur. In addition, such sounds may be present when installing low-quality pads.


If the brake pads are heavily worn, a squealing or grinding noise may occur when braking.

Shocks when braking

The appearance of shocks during braking can be caused either by the condition of the pads themselves, or by a damaged surface of the brake disc or drum, soured pistons in the cylinders, or other malfunctions. To identify the problem, you will need to disassemble the brake mechanism and carefully inspect the parts for wear and damage.

Car skidding

There can be many reasons for skidding - severe wear of the pads, damage to the discs, loose caliper mounts or suspension malfunctions.

Once a situation arose with my car when, while braking, the car began to pull to the side. It would seem that it is necessary to diagnose the brake system. However, after a detailed examination, I discovered that the cause of this phenomenon was a damaged longitudinal rod (rod) of the rear axle. It was simply torn from the eyelet. After replacing this part the problem disappeared.

Stiff or soft pedal

If you notice that the pedal has become unusually tight or, conversely, soft, then most likely the pads have become unusable and will have to be replaced. Additionally, it is worth inspecting the hoses supplying fluid to the brake cylinders and the cylinders themselves. If the piston sticks in them, then the problem with pedal stiffness may also manifest itself because of this.

Appearance of plaque

Plaque can appear both when using low-quality pads, which leads to their rapid erasure, and with normal parts. However, in the second case it should be minimal. Dust can also appear during aggressive driving, i.e. during sudden starts and braking.


The appearance of black coating on wheels can be caused by active driving.

From personal experience I can say that after installing the front pads from AvtoVAZ, I observed black dust on the discs. The plaque was clearly visible because the discs were painted white. From this I can conclude that the appearance of black dust from the process of erasing the pads is a normal phenomenon. Perhaps installing more expensive parts will help get rid of this phenomenon. However, if you are sure that the car has good quality pads and their condition is normal, then there is no reason to worry.

Pedal sticking

If the brake pedal does not move back when pressed, this indicates that the pad is sticking to the disc. This phenomenon is possible in frosty weather when moisture gets on the brake elements, but it would be useful to inspect the pads. If the car cannot be stopped for a long time when you press the pedal, then the reason lies in worn out pads or air getting into the hydraulic system. You will need to inspect the brake components and possibly bleed the brakes.

Problems when paying with bank cards

Sometimes difficulties may arise when paying with Visa/MasterCard bank cards. The most common of them:

  1. There is a restriction on the card for paying for online purchases
  2. A plastic card is not intended for making payments online.
  3. The plastic card is not activated for making payments online.
  4. There are not enough funds on the plastic card.

In order to solve these problems, you need to call or write to the technical support of the bank where you are served. Bank specialists will help you resolve them and make payments.

That's basically it. The entire process of paying for a book in PDF format on car repair on our website takes 1-2 minutes.

We remove the old ones

We jack up the rear wheel of the VAZ 2107 and remove it. You must first take the necessary safety measures: install shoes under the wheels, place a safety stand under the body. This task is usually not difficult. Next it will be a little more difficult. It happens that the brake drum gets stuck to the axle shaft, and it is impossible to remove it using standard means.

In this case, the drum is “torn off” - the guides are unscrewed, the car is started, the gear is engaged and the speed is increased, and then the brake is sharply pressed.

READ How to Center the Clutch of a VAZ 2106

Be very careful when performing this operation - ensure that the VAZ 2107 is securely secured so that it does not fall off the jack.

  • We remove the brake drum and check the condition of the brake pad linings. In addition to wear, there may be a partial breakage of the linings, since, unlike the front ones, the rear ones are not solid. We determine whether one or both pads need to be replaced.
  • Using a flat-head screwdriver, remove the lower tension spring;
  • Using pliers, remove the spring clamps from the guides, turning them until the slots match;
  • Using a screwdriver, press on one end of the upper spring and remove it.

This is the last action, after which nothing holds the pads anymore, and they fall.
