"Liquid" was fundamentally new for the Melitopol designers, because until that time all Zaporozhets were equipped with V-shaped "air vents". The main work on the design of the engine for a front-wheel drive car of an especially small class was completed in 1979, and in 1982, after conducting acceptance tests, the State Commission recommended this unit for serial production. Alas, for a number of reasons, motors for the new Tavria began to be mass-produced in Melitopol only in 1988 - like the car itself in Zaporozhye.

By the XXVII Congress of the CPSU in 1986, the Kommunar plant undertook to produce an experimental batch of thirty copies of ZAZ-1102

A good engine with a difficult fate

What was interesting about the engine of the first front-wheel drive car from Zaporozhye? Firstly, the Melitopol unit was distinguished by a very modern design. In terms of the general level, MeMZ-245 was not particularly inferior to the "top of Soviet engine building" - the VAZ-2108 engine. Like the Sputnik unit, the Tavrichesky engine was equipped with a Solex carburetor with a forced idle economizer system for the sake of economy. Another parallel is that the timing mechanism is driven by a belt, not a chain. Ignition is non-contact, with a switch - again, as in the Togliatti G8.

A relatively high compression ratio (9.5) assumed operation on gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91. In general, feel the difference with the previous Melitopol air vents!

MeMZ-245 in section

At the same time, the engine with a volume of 1091 "cubes" developed sufficient power for Tavria in 53 liters. from. For comparison: the similar in volume 1 100-cc engine of the "downsizing" version was two "horses" weaker.

There was also a deformed version of the MeMZ-2451 with a reduced compression ratio (7.9). The engine developed 47 liters. from. and at the same time could run on A-76 gasoline.

Thus, in terms of power-to-weight ratio, the 1.1-liter machine was not much inferior to the 1,300 cc Sputnik, but in the loaded state, a smaller working volume and maximum power were still felt.

However, in comparison with Zhiguli and Moskvichs, the dynamic qualities of the ZAZ-1102 did not leave much to be desired: the machine picked up a "hundred" from a place in about 16 seconds, and the maximum speed reached 145 kilometers per hour. The high efficiency of Tavria with the MeMZ-245 engine was declared: according to the manufacturer, at a speed of 90 km / h, the consumption was 4.6 l / 100 km, and in the urban cycle - 6.8 l / 100 km. At the same time, the real fuel consumption, depending on driving conditions, ranged from 6 to 8 liters for every hundred kilometers.

As it turned out, with timely maintenance and the correct fuels and lubricants used, the engine was able to last more than 100,000 kilometers before the first repair - of course, provided that the infamous Zhiguli valve oil scraper seals had not failed before.

The engine turned out to be quite "funny" - that is, it easily spun up to the maximum speed (5,600 rpm) and at the same time was quite quiet if you compare its sound with the roar of the old Melitopol air-cooled units.

After the collapse of the USSR, the Melitopol Motor Plant began independent work on a range of engines based on the same MeMZ-245, which remained the only unit for Tavria and its modifications.

Even then, the designers conceived an unusual line, which was supposed to open ... the so-called "rabbit" - a 0.9-liter three-cylinder engine. In addition, it was decided to equip the time-tested Tavria engine with a fuel injection system, as well as to master modifications with a working volume increased to 1.3-1.4 liters. Already in 1994, prototypes were developed, which were even assigned the appropriate indices - 1.25-liter MeMZ-310, as well as MeMZ-315 and MeMZ-317 with a volume of 1.4 liters. Interestingly, the latter was conceived as a 16-valve version of the "three hundred and fifteenth" engine. In a word, there is an obvious desire of Ukrainian designers to follow the same scheme (increase in working volume and number of valves), according to which the units of the "eighth" family at VAZ were modernized.

Alas, as the second president of modern Ukraine Leonid Danilovich Kuchma correctly noted in the title of his book, Ukraine is not Russia. In 1993-1994, tests of prototypes and prototypes of promising engines were often disrupted due to ... a banal lack of suitable fuel!

In those difficult times for the countries of the former USSR, new engines were developed in Melitopol, among other things, in order to increase exports, which would allow obtaining such a coveted currency at that time. Indeed, in conditions of hyperinflation, barter transactions, the constant collapse of the rate of coupon-karbovanets and other "delights" of the first years of the new state's existence, only foreign exchange earnings could allow the enterprise to stay afloat. That is why, together with Siemens, a single-point (mono, as it is sometimes called) fuel injection system with a catalytic converter at the outlet was developed.

Dreams, dreams ... In practice, the plant experienced constant problems with the production of conventional MeMZ-245 engines. For example, the Michurin plant in 1994 refused to supply the Ukrainians with piston rings - they had to get out and buy parts ... in Bulgaria.

Alas, in the period from 1993 to 1997, things were going so badly at MeMZ that many talented and competent employees simply left it, unable to withstand salary delays, theft and marriage. The quality of the products at that time was so low that it was not always possible to assemble one normal engine suitable for installation on a commercial vehicle out of two ready-made motors of that time.

At ZAZ, they tried in various ways to solve the sore "heart issue": at that time, the factory workers tried to "implant" Tavria with an alternative power unit - for example, a 1.3-liter VAZ-2108 engine assembled with a four-speed transmission, which led to a denser arrangement of units under hood and forced the designers to remove the "spare wheel" from there. The model received the ZAZ-1122 index, but due to the fact that VAZ supplied power units in extremely limited quantities, the Tavria with an eight engine did not receive much distribution.

Another attempt of the Zaporozhye enterprise "to get away from MeMZA" is the four-cylinder bottom-shaft engine FIAT-903 with a volume of 0.9 liters and a capacity of 45 liters. from. The model with the ZAZ-1140 index was even less common than the version with the Russian engine, because the purchase of foreign units required the same currency, which the Ukrainian plant was so acutely lacking at that time ...

New time - new motors

After the Koreans came to AvtoZAZ and the establishment of the AvtoZAZ-Daewoo JV in March 1998, the Melitopol Motor Plant was incorporated into the enterprise as the AvtoZAZ-Motor KhRP.

This move allowed not only to keep the enterprise afloat, but also to revive it. Indeed, for the first time in 11 years since the start of production of Tavria and engines for it, MeMZ mastered a whole family of units, which were a further development of the same "two hundred and forty-fifth".

The Korean partners managed to "breathe a second life" into both Tavria and its power unit manufactured in Melitopol. The time-tested 1.1-liter MeMZ-245 remained in service, but thanks to high-quality components and a new OTK, it has become much more reliable and durable, not much inferior in terms of service life to VAZ units. According to official information of those years, the return of defective engines from AvtoZAZ decreased by an order of magnitude - to 0.3%, and earlier the factory workers simply put up with an outright marriage of power units, just not to stop the conveyor.

The "old new" motor was used on the basic versions of the "improved" Tavria with the NOVA attachment, while Slavuta's liftback received new motors with increased displacement, which were then "inherited" by Tavria. By the way, at one time everything happened at the VAZ in about the same way: the most prestigious sedan model 21099 was originally equipped with only the most powerful 1.5-liter engine.

Using the developments of the early nineties, with the technical and financial support of Korean partners in Melitopol, they finally began to produce engines of increased displacement and power.

Using a new piston group and a crankshaft with a stroke increased from 67 mm to 73.5 mm, the working volume was raised to 1.2 liters with a little blood. This unit, indexed MeMZ-2457, has a classic power system (carburetor) with a capacity of 58 liters. from. at the beginning of the 2000s it became the basic modification of the engine for Slavuta.

It is interesting that the standard 1.1-liter "tavromotor" with the MeMZ-245 index can be easily turned into a 1.2-liter by replacing the piston group and the crankshaft, and such an upgrade will not affect the resource in any way, because all the parts used in this case are factory! In practice, many Ukrainian motorists, when overhauling an engine, added a few "cubes" and "horses" to it in such a simple and rather budgetary way.

In 2001, MeMZ began production of the 1.3-liter MeMZ-301/3011 engine. The increase in the next 100 "cubes" of the working volume was achieved by increasing the piston diameter from 72 to 75 mm. The engine is structurally somewhat different from the previous MeMZ engines of the 245 family: an engine block with an index of 301-1002013 with thicker walls, due to an increase in the diameter of the piston group, was deprived of cooling channels between each pair of cylinders (1-2 and 3-4). Also, the engine differed from its less voluminous counterparts with a camshaft with wider valve timing for better cylinder filling.

Such a 1.3-liter engine was designed to be installed not only in cars of the "Tavricheskiy" family, but also in ... the body of Daewoo Lanos. The "budget" modification combined a "foreign car body" with a Ukrainian power unit, which favorably affected the price. It is no coincidence that the L-1300, which later received its own name "Sens", became a very popular Ukrainian car, which was able to take away many buyers from VAZ products.

Of course, at MeMZ, in cooperation with the Dimitrovgrad Automobile Unit Plant (DAAZ, Russia), they actively worked on the implementation of a more modern and progressive power supply system - distributed injection, because without it it was impossible to fit even into the minimum emission standards of Euro-2.

Both the 1.2-liter modification and the "301st" engine were transferred to the "injector". MeMZ-2477 with a volume of 1.2 liters with a maximum power of 63 liters. from. is a derivative of the carburetor version with the index 2457. This engine is the most economical of the entire family when driving at a uniform speed along the highway.

"Tavria" refers to cars of the 2nd class (budget models). Initially, it was produced at a Soviet plant, but later the bulk began to roll off the assembly line of the same, but already Ukrainian ZAZ. The first exclusive piece became the "parent" for a huge number of different models and their modifications, which were combined into a giant series.

You can easily remember about 40 different cars. It is worth noting that they were in high demand among domestic buyers. The end of the large-scale release took place in 2007.

Development history of ZAZ "Tavria-1102"

The development of a new (at that time) car "Tavria" began due to the need to replace the models. By the 70s, two variants of the car were created in the form of a sedan and a hatchback. But production permission was received only 10 years later. After the exit of a large party, the leadership changed the task of this machine. It was agreed that the model should be similar to the leader of European sales (we are talking about "Ford Fiesta"). An experienced designer working at a plant in Zaporozhye has said more than once that the American "child" has nothing in common with advertising. If bright posters and videos made an ideal car out of "Fiesta", then in reality it did not meet many of the declared characteristics. Therefore, to get around it technically was not a very difficult and time-consuming process.

The Soviet auto industry constantly demanded from the manufacturer to improve Tavria, setting it more and more difficult tasks and goals. The first production model to be sold throughout the Union was a copy released in November 1987.

Specifications ZAZ-1102

"Tavria" has a hatchback with 3 doors. Passengers fit 5 people. The vehicle weighs just over 1100 kg. The length of the vehicle is 3700 mm, the width is 1550 mm, and the height is 1400 mm.

The engines have a volume of 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 liters. Power is 53, 58 and 63 hp. from. respectively. Maximum acceleration (speed) - 145, 158 and 165 km / h, depending on the unit. You can gain 100 km / h from a standstill in 15-16 seconds.

Detailed description of the vehicle design

• The rear door of the machine is equipped with a special lock that is installed inside.
• Lubrication, or rather its system, is of a combined type.
• The crankcase ventilation system is closed and flows through the carburetor and air cleaner.
• The carburetor installed on the ZAZ-1102 has an emulsion type.
• The cooling system is located in the radiator, and it turns on automatically if necessary. The exact location is the casing.
• Ignition - battery. The plugs have a screw-in length of 18 mm.
• The vehicle exhaust system (muffler) has been adjusted by the manufacturer.
• The clutch is dry.
• The transmission is mechanical.
• The brakes are of different types. Parking - manual type, rear - drum, and front - disc.

The figure below shows a diagram of the ZAZ-1102 (we are talking about electrical wiring).

Lineup "Tavria"

The ZAZ-110240 car began production in 1991. Production continued until 1997. In this model, the trunk has expanded volumes. There is a side passenger sofa. Unlike the sedan, these copies differ in carrying capacity. The car left the assembly line for the second time in 1999. Its predecessor, ZAZ-1102, was already far behind in development from the described model. The new version was distinguished by the installed engine. A large-scale release of a sanitary modification was planned, but the desired did not come true.

The Tavria cargo model was named ZAZ-110260. There were no passenger seats, except for sitting next to the driver. The car is capable of carrying loads up to 300 kg.

The next interesting model is ZAZ-110260-30. A small hole for the antenna could be found in the roof of this modification. The machine had a distinctive feature - the presence of the function of automatically turning on the low fan speed. Special plugs were installed on the bumpers.

"Slavuta"

“Slavuta” rolled off the assembly line from 1999 to 2011. It belongs to category "B". Installed body type liftback. The engines with which these models were equipped are designed for 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 liters (carburetor), as well as 1.2 and 1.3 liters (injection). The development of "Slavuta", which is associated with ZAZ-1102, began due to the fact that "Dana" did not meet the modern requirements of drivers at that time, due to which it was not in great demand. Almost six months later, the 1.1 liter was replaced by an analogue of 1.2 liters. And in 2002, the most expensive model for the entire production period appeared on the markets - a car with a 1.3 liter injection engine. However, the latter option was not suitable for sale due to the severity of environmental standards. In January 2011, the plant stopped producing Slavuta.

The body has 5 doors, it is made of all-metal material, has a closed and load-bearing type. The rear window opens with the tailgate. The vehicle weighs 800 kg. The volume of the tank is 38 liters.

The engines that were installed at the Slavuta were developed and produced at the Melitopol plant. All units are designed for 4 cylinders. located at the back on the left. The ignition (ZAZ-1102 is equipped with a similar system) has a battery structure and a contactless voltage of 12 volts.

"Dana"

The assembly of the car began in 1994. The last copy rolled off the assembly line in 2010. "Dana" is the owner of a 5-door body, which has significant differences from the original model. Although it is also built on the ZAZ-1102, the newer car has an original and organic design.

As standard, the vehicle is capable of carrying loads up to 200 kg with five passengers in the cabin. One could get acquainted with the engine, which was installed on the model, while driving the original "Tavria". Initially, it was planned to equip Dana with a unit with a capacity of 60 horsepower, which was designed for 5 thousand revolutions per minute, but due to some reasons, the car with this engine never entered mass production.

The car belongs to class "B". It has four-wheel drive. The gearbox is mechanical, and the engine is carburetor.

"Pickup"

This car is a modification of the original Dana model. Any customer could custom-fit a soft or hard top (optional), which easily turns the van into a haulage vehicle. The compartment, where all the luggage is placed, is separated from the driver and passenger seats by an ordinary partition with glass. The production of "Pickup", which is based on the car ZAZ "Tavria-1102", began in 1992 and lasted right up to 2014.

The units installed on the machine had different characteristics in terms of volume: from 1.1 to 1.3 liters.

Most of the details were borrowed from Dana. They differ among themselves with a rear bumper, lamps of the same part of the car, a window in the partition (in a newer version, a grill appeared on it). "Pickup" received updated side mirrors and an awning that can be installed on the grille of the cargo compartment, as well as a suspension. The repair of this model, like the repair of the ZAZ-1102, does not require much time, effort and money. Therefore, such a machine is in high demand.

Did you know that the legendary minicar, created at the Zaporozhye Automobile Plant, became the first domestic car that became the hero of thousands of jokes? If you quickly “leaf through” the weighty volume of the complete collection of oral works of the Soviet people, then one of its most significant chapters will surely be titled “Anecdotes about the Zaporozhets” And this is a sign of the unprecedented popularity of this machine among Soviet people, which over time "Humped" ZAZ-965 and "eared" ZAZ-966 front-wheel drive cars, the first of which was the ZAZ-1102 "Tavria".

The design of a front-wheel drive car at ZAZ began back in 1970. Dozens of options were sorted out by the designers, before deciding to settle on the only layout of the car - with a three-door hatchback-type body and with a transverse four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine It should be noted that exactly the same layout became the main and when designing a front-wheel drive G8 at the Volzhsky Automobile Plant.

The car turned out to be quite interesting. The three-door body turned out to be quite strong, rigid and light enough, the trunk is roomy (250 liters), and if you fold the rear seat forward, its volume increased to 700 liters, which is even more than that of the VAZ-2108!

Under the hood of the car, in addition to the engine with the units serving it, the designers also placed a spare wheel. This made the trunk more spacious, however, by today's standards, such an arrangement of the “spare wheel” somewhat reduces the level of passive safety of the car, which is not too large for “Tavria” ...

Unlike all "Cossacks", which had four-cylinder V-shaped air-cooled engines, "Tavria" was equipped with a MeMZ-245 engine - an in-line "four" liquid-cooled engine with an overhead camshaft, its working volume was 1,091 liters, and the power was 48 l s The engine is located in the engine compartment, in the front part of the body, transversely, with a backward tilt of 10 degrees Structurally, the engine is linked into a compact power unit, which also includes the clutch mechanism, gearbox and main gear The camshaft and coolant pump drives are produced by a flat-toothed belt ...

The clutch is dry, single-disc, with an elastic driven disc, equipped with a torsional vibration damper and a diaphragm pressure spring. The clutch control drive from the pedal to the fork is cable.

The gearbox is mechanical, five-speed, and the fourth and fifth gears are accelerating gearboxes made in the same crankcase with the main drive. The gearbox case is cast from magnesium alloy and has external ribbing that increases its rigidity.

The main gear consists of a pair of cylindrical helical gears. The differential box is cast, cast iron. The front wheels are driven by two joint shafts, each of which is a unit consisting of two joints of equal angular velocities - external and internal.

The front suspension of "Tavria" is a classic independent for cars of this type, such as McPherson ("swinging candle") with shock absorbers, each of which has a spring and a compression buffer, which are elastic suspension elements. By the way, this suspension at one time became the main one. for all front-wheel drive vehicles developed by the Soviet auto industry.

Rear suspension - semi-independent, lever, with a connecting cross member made in the form of a low-alloy steel beam, which is also a stabilizer of lateral stability when the car is moving. Brackets are welded to the beam, with which the suspension is hinged, using silent blocks, is attached to the body Hydraulic shock absorbers - double-acting telescopic type - they are arranged in almost the same way as the shock absorbers of the front suspension.

A lot of unconventional solutions were used in the design of the machine. One of the main ones is the device of hub units, in which diskless wheels are used, which made it possible to reduce the so-called unsprung masses.

The wheels themselves consist of stamped rings and rims welded to them with a landing diameter of 13 inches (330 mm) Each of the wheels is attached by three studs using three nuts with tapered bearing surfaces: front - to the hubs and rear - to the brake drum.

The original design of the front disc brakes, which have a disc-ring with an inner grip with a brake caliper, also contributes to the reduction of unsprung weight. Rear wheel brakes are drum brakes.

The steering gear is a rack and pinion type, which has increased reliability and contributes to a good perception of the road by the driver.

The engine ignition system is battery-operated, non-contact, rated voltage 12 V It consists of a distributor sensor, a switch, a coil, spark plugs and high-voltage connecting wires The power circuit of the primary winding of the coil is interrupted by an electronic switch controlled by an electronic microswitch in the ignition distributor.

The ergonomics of the driver's seat are at the level of modern cars of this class, and the design of the dashboard, although extremely simplified, is quite convenient for the driver to see. Both on the highway and on city streets, the car behaves well Small dimensions, good visibility and quite decent maneuverability and throttle response allow the driver feels on an equal footing with the owners of other cars, and the good stability of the Tavria and the wide range of front seat adjustments allow him to cover considerable distances along suburban highways in one go without fatigue.

Thanks to the leading front wheels, the Tavria has a sufficiently high directional stability and good handling characteristics - even on slippery roads.

One of the main elements of the active safety of the car is a dual-circuit brake drive with a diagonal pipeline layout. Passive safety is ensured by the body structure, due to which, in an accident, the impact energy is absorbed and the specified space in the cabin is preserved. bumpers made of impact-resistant modified polypropylene, a crash-proof steering column and a three-layer triplex windshield.

It is interesting that Tavria inherited quite decent cross-country ability from the Cossacks - it behaves well on a country road thanks to its high ground clearance, small overhangs and a smooth bottom.

When the "Tavria" moves on country roads, the engine consumes only 4.8 liters of fuel per 100 km (at 90 km / h), and on city streets - 7.2 liters. By the way, the maximum speed of the "Tavria" is 132 km / h, and acceleration time of the car to a speed of 100 km / h - 24 s.

Serial production of the ZAZ-1102 model began in 1987, and six years later the plant mastered another modification of the car, called the ZAZ-1105 "Tavria" (later it was renamed to "Dana"). The five-door station wagon had the same powertrain and the same chassis.

Serial production of the next incarnation of "Tavria" - the hatchback ZAZ-1103 "Slavuta", designed with the participation of specialists from the Korean company Daewoo, began in 1997. Although the machine received a new 1.3-liter engine with a capacity of 63 hp, its design compared with the ZAZ-1102 has not changed too much True, unlike the Tavria, the standard equipment of the luxury car (ZAZ-110308-01 Slavuta) includes a vacuum brake booster, central locking, front electric windows, heated rear window, a radio tape recorder and four speakers, as well as an air duct for heating the legs of the rear passengers.

In profile, the car can be mistaken for a sedan, but behind is not the trunk lid, but the fifth door, so formally "Slavuta" is still a hatchback (sometimes such hybrid bodies are called liftbacks).

The capacity of the cabin has not changed in comparison with Tavria - four adults in Slavut are also cramped, but in the 2 + 2 version (two adults and two children) the car is quite comfortable.

The dashboard has hardly changed and the speedometer readings are still easy to read. However, the driver still lacks a tachometer. True, the appearance of the so-called econometer, which allows you to choose the most economical pace of movement, pleases.

The gear ratios of the checkpoint are well matched, which allows the car to accelerate to "hundreds" in 17.1 s. Interestingly, after 80 km / h the car "asks" to turn on the fifth gear. As for the maximum speed, according to the testers, move on the declared factory 150 km / h should not be better - already at 145 km / h a light car begins to literally slide over the road So the maximum that you can afford on a decent highway is 120 km / h It is at this speed that the econometric arrow indicates the optimal consumption fuel - about 6.5 l / 100 km.

If the reader is faced with the question of purchasing "Slavuta", then, as experts say, you need to think hard here. The fact is that this car was designed very well, but the assembly After a run of 1500 km after purchasing the car, the owner will have to carry out TO-1 - the car needs broaching of the chassis, cylinder head, valve adjustment, oil change in the engine and gearbox and replacement of air and oil filters - all this will cost the buyer a lot.However, in the future, repair work for any technically savvy motorist will not be unnecessarily difficult - the car is very simple and maintainable. Perhaps it is quite difficult to find spare parts in Russian stores. However, the prices of the Slavuta and the VAZ classics are quite comparable, and the ZAZ-110Z, in comparison with the VAZ-2105, looks much more modern.

Repair of Tavria, how to be and who to entrust?

Repair of "Tavria" (as well as repair of "Slavuta") is not such a difficult process. This is not a BMW or Mercedes-Benz. Everything is simple here. If not for the totally poor quality of parts and assembly, service, this car would be one of the most reliable cars, by the way. Well, like all small cars. Therefore, I will offer you to repair this machine yourself. This is not a fiction, the service will not want to serve you. The car is too unattractive. from the point of view of locksmiths. After all, for work on different cars, in principle, the money for the service station is not paid very much and it is different. I'm not talking about official stations that re-mount Ferrari and Land Cruisers, I'm talking about normal stations. So it turns out that the repair of an old Mercedes is easier and faster than Tavria, and the first to promise big money, and significantly, because the brand is more prestigious.

And yet ... when buying this car you should clearly understand - Tavria / Slavuta / Date and repair, in principle, are indistinguishable concepts. True, there are unique people who manage to achieve long-term operation from the car without breakdowns. Honor and glory to them, but for the majority this unit breaks down, and constantly. You can see how and what is happening in the Log section of my site. In short - the cause of breakdowns, - improper operation, then the unreliability of parts, and only after that - mistakes in the design of the machine.

Brand - books you can still buy

Rank Publishing publishes a repair manual, which contains all the necessary information. I recommend buying this book "on paper" rather than downloading it from various sites. Why? Very simply, there may not be Internet on the way, but it will be necessary to repair! Here is a link for you, delivery is available both in Ukraine and in Russia. By the way, there is another book in the catalog, only for 1102. Take both. For such a penny, how much they cost now, you can spend money! By the way, I ordered the first one in 2007, and the last one in 2009, when I wrote this ...

The ignition system (SZ) of the vehicle includes many nodes and devices interconnected. One of the main components of such a system in ZAZ cars is a distributor. How to correctly install the Tavria distributor, what malfunctions are characteristic of this device and how to repair it, we will describe below.

Tuning and repair of the ignition system

How to properly adjust the system operation? If you do not know how to set the ignition on Tavria, then we are ready to teach you this. The principle of setting SZ is to change the position of the valve in relation to the installation volute. Before you start tuning, you need to open the hood and look at this snail and distributor. Put marks on each element - this will allow you to put everything back in place if you make mistakes during the repair process.

The setup procedure looks like this:

1. Get behind the wheel, put the key in the ignition of your Tavria and start the engine.
2. Then, on a running power unit, you need to slightly turn the switchgear - first in one direction and then in the other direction. At this moment, you need to listen to how the engine works, whether the dynamics of revolutions has changed. You need to catch the moment when the engine speed will be at its maximum. Usually this is not a specific point, but a place in half a division on the site. The most optimal ignition is in this range. If the power unit of your car works with detonation, then try setting a later ignition.
3. Then the distribution unit must be fixed in this position, and then diagnose the internal combustion engine's performance in different operating modes.
4. When the distributor is fixed, you need to ride a little. Accelerate the vehicle to approximately 60 km / h, shift into fourth gear, then slow down to approximately 40 km / h and press the accelerator pedal sharply again. At this moment, detonation should appear, but literally for 1-2 seconds, no more. If so, then we can assume that half the job is done.
5. In addition, you also need to check the power of the internal combustion engine. In the event that the engine power is not particularly high, then you can try again to adjust the distributor drive. In this case, you will need tweezers, as it will make this task much easier with its help. If you look at the distributor, you will notice that the cut under it on the drive is slightly offset to the side, so you should not make mistakes and install the drive incorrectly (the author of the video is a channel).

It is also possible to adjust the distributor itself, the essence of this task is to change the level of tension of the weights, as well as setting the vacuum regulator. But keep in mind that to implement this procedure, you will need a special stand, which can not always be found even at a service station.

Device malfunctions and how to fix them

For what reasons the distributor may refuse to work and how can the situation be corrected:

1. The distribution unit is loose, which led to incorrect motor operation. Due to the loosened fastening, the lead angle could be lost, which in turn would lead to difficult starting, a decrease in power, as well as unstable idle speed. Fuel consumption will also increase. In this case, you just need to tighten the screw that secures the device using a wrench.
2. The high voltage wires are connected to the switchgear in the wrong sequence. This can lead to the fact that the internal combustion engine will not start at all or will start, but at the same time pops will be heard from under the hood, the car will go jerky. Open the service book and specify how the high-voltage wires should be connected, reconnect them.
3. Another malfunction is the broken mechanism cover. As practice shows, the breakdown site is usually clearly visible even with the naked eye. Due to breakdown, current leakage is possible, which contributes to malfunctions in the operation of the internal combustion engine. In this case, the only option would be to replace the cover.
4. Oxidation or destruction of contacts has occurred in the distributor cover. If we are talking about oxidation, then you can clean the contacts with a solvent, but if the problem is destruction, then the elements must be replaced.
5. The contact ember on the cover is worn out, while the motor will start with difficulty. Either the coal or the cover as a whole is replaced.
6. Hall sensor breakage. Such a malfunction will lead to the impossibility of starting the motor, the controller should be replaced. It is possible that there was a break in the wiring from this controller to the connector, then the device must be checked more carefully.
7. Top bearing worn out. Unstable idle speed will be a sign of malfunction. The problem is solved by replacing the roller with a centrifugal regulator, as well as a bearing device. Or the distribution mechanism will have to be changed completely.
8. The vacuum advance controller is out of order. With such a malfunction, the transport power unit will not be able to pull the car uphill, the engine power will significantly decrease, as well as its throttle response. This is due to the fact that the regulator itself is used in order to set the lead angle a little earlier in a high load mode on the motor. The reason may lie in the lack of tightness of the body of this device or in the jamming of the nozzle from the carburetor connected to it. Also, the problem may be a defective pivot plate. The solution to the problem may be to fix problems with tightness or replace failed components. In extreme cases, you can completely replace the regulator.
9. Problems in the operation of the centrifugal regulator. The symptoms will be similar. As for the reasons, it is necessary to check the springs of the weights, they could weaken or fail as a result of wear, the damper rings of the weights could also be lost, the weights themselves can stick. It is necessary to dismantle the distributor and replace the regulator itself, since its repair in most cases is impractical.
