The VAZ 2114 heater valve is necessary to regulate the flow of coolant that flows through the radiator of the car’s heater.
There are three types of heating taps:
If you are trying to figure out which heater valve is best installed on a VAZ 2114, then you need to briefly characterize them.
And also consider how much a VAZ 2114 stove faucet costs in accordance with the type of product.
According to the opinions of many users, such a unit leaves a pleasant impression after purchase. Good equipment, aluminum body. Such taps are not subject to leakage or souring. Experts advise that the kit include two more pipes that go from the stove faucet to the radiator, four clamps of the required diameter and sealant.
These parts will be necessary when replacing failed rubber pipes. Such a ceramic mechanism will serve the owner for a long and uninterrupted service, especially with regular maintenance of the product.
Attention: its capacity is relatively less than that of a ball valve, and accordingly it will heat a little weaker. So the choice of product depends entirely on the preferences of car owners.
Drivers often ask themselves the question: where is the heater valve on a VAZ 2114? The answer is: under the torpedo. To see it, you need to remove the side panel at the bottom of the front seat of the car. There are two pipes located there that go to the main mechanism.
If oxidized, the regulator may jam, resulting in a lack of adjustment of the air supply temperature. The stove will not function well and will not heat the room inside the car sufficiently.
Knowing where the heater tap is located on a VAZ 2114, every motorist can easily diagnose its malfunction and eliminate the cause by replacing or repairing the heater unit.
Most often this happens because the faucet is not used in the summer, and when cold weather comes, it turns out that the faucet is leaking or is difficult to operate. Therefore, you have to repair it or completely change it.
To avoid these malfunctions, you need to use the stove tap even during periods when there is no need. Once a week, turn on the heater for a few minutes, preferably with a cold engine. You also need to regulate the temperature using the outside air damper, but keep a spare unit at the ready.
Why does antifreeze leak? If there is no use for a long time, the faucet of the VAZ 2114 stove oxidizes, the sealing rings inside it fail, and the product fluid leaks. You can find out about this when you lift the carpet from the front seats of the cabin, as well as when a specific smell occurs and windows fog up.
In such cases, it is necessary to replace the heater tap on the VAZ 2114, because eliminating the smell in the cabin is quite troublesome and difficult. The cause of the leak may be the faucet connecting pipes, which become less elastic and brittle with prolonged use.
Motorists are often interested in the question: how to open the heater tap on a VAZ 2114? To do this, you need to find the tap behind the console near the floor and turn the flag to the right, you will immediately feel a flow of hot air to the gas pedal.
In addition to the fact that the valve of the VAZ 2114 stove has deteriorated, there is incomplete opening of the valve or leakage of liquid, there are several other significant reasons:
If the stove also functions poorly at idle, you need to check the condition of the pump, which ensures proper circulation of antifreeze in the system. You may need to completely replace the pump or add antifreeze to the required level.
Burnout of the cylinder head gasket and failure of the thermostat can also provoke a deterioration in the performance of stove heating. After the final determination of the cause, the car owner can independently fix the breakdown, using the theoretical and practical basis of accumulated experience.

Surely many owners of VAZ "Classics"" There was a problem with the faucet of the stove-heater, which constantly leaks and breaks down so much that it has to be replaced almost every season. That's why, many drivers replaceit to a regular plumbing, which is what we will do.
It’s better, of course, to install it under the hood, which is easier to do and easier to maintain. But, having looked under the hood, I had to abandon this idea - on the injection 7, unlike the carburetor, there is not much space in the engine compartment - the intake manifold is in the way, and even removing the old pipes seems very difficult. Therefore, we will install the faucet inside the cabin.
| Not enough space |
We will need:
We will need tools: a flexible screwdriver or a ratchet with a head for 10, set open-end wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, round file, knife or utility blade, flashlight.
First, we need to drain the coolant from the heater radiator; to do this, unscrew the clamp in the engine compartment and remove the outlet pipe (6) from the tap fitting (2), drain the liquid into a suitable container. Then, in the cabin, we take out the bottom of the glove compartment and the shelf under it for better access to the heater tap.
Now, unscrew the faucet itself (4), for this filming drive cable (5) and nuts fastening to the radiator, remove the fitting from the engine compartment. This must be done carefully, as the coolant remaining in the radiator may leak out.
Then, we remove the straight fitting from the faucet, which went into the engine compartment - we will put it on the radiator instead of the faucet itself, fortunately, they have the same flanges.
Now let's collect previously the entire structure is still without sealants: we screw the tap (7) to both ends to the water tap, screw the fittings (8) onto the corners, put the large pipe (1) from the kit on one end, and take the other into the engine compartment and connect it to the standard pipe . Since a metal partition (3) with holes of a smaller diameter than the new valve fitting is installed between the engine compartment and the passenger compartment, this hole must be widened with a round file or other tool. P pipe p we adjust the length and, if necessary, trim it; we also set the required angles for connecting the tap to the outlet and put marks.
When we have everything adjusted, we disassemble and carry out the final assembly of the structure, first inWe clean and degrease all compounds. We seal the threaded connections with plumbing thread or flax; the fittings can be lubricated with a thin layer of silicone sealant, just so that it does not get into the system. The fitting gasket to the radiator can also be lubricated with sealant, We try not to overtighten it, otherwise it may be squeezed out and start leaking..
Since the sealant must completely polymerize before contact with the coolant, we leave the assembled structure for about a day.
Then, add the drained liquid into the expansion tank and warm up the engine to operating temperature with the tap open, observe for leaks and, if necessary, tighten the connections.
Greetings, friends. We continue our column on the maintenance and repair of the VAZ 2107. At one time, this car was the face of the Soviet automobile industry, although it has already been discontinued, such cars still drive on our roads, so the topic of repairing this car is still relevant.
Although the VAZ 2107 was a fairly reliable car, it, like many other cars, also tended to break down, and one of these breakdowns was a leaking heater tap, so in today’s article we will look at how to replace the heater tap on a VAZ 2107.
If you have such a need and replacing the VAZ 2107 heater valve is simply necessary, do not rush to go to the service center, because in fact this process is not at all complicated and everything can be done with your own hands and no worse than at a service station and at the same time saving some money funds. Also, do not forget to familiarize yourself with the materials on the site at replacing the valve of the VAZ 2114 stove .
Stove valve malfunctions:
In fact, it is very simple to determine that a vehicle, be it a VAZ 2107 or another model, needs to replace the old heater valve or repair it. Drips of coolant, antifreeze or antifreeze will tell you this.
It is enough to carefully look at the floor covering of the car on the passenger side and feel it with your hand. If the carpet is damp and a little greasy to the touch, then most likely the heater tap is leaking.
Also, the regular reduction of antifreeze from the expansion tank also indicates this, unless of course it is no longer leaking anywhere.
It should be remembered that repair work of this level must be carried out with the engine turned off. This will make it possible to avoid various risks and troubles.
I would like to immediately add that the heater valve cannot be repaired, and this does not make sense, since its price is not at all high, and replacement does not present any difficulties.
To change the stove valve on your fret, you should have a set of suitable tools and, of course, a new part on hand.
So, we will need:
Then we go into the interior and remove the storage shelf located under instrument panel, we pull it out carefully so as not to damage it, since it is not as strong as it seems.
To make it more convenient to work, unscrew the air duct using a ten key and disconnect it from the side deflector of the dashboard.
Now, using a seven key, you need to slightly loosen the bolt securing the heater tap drive (cable).
All that remains is to unscrew the two bolts that secure the heater valve to the heater radiator, photo 2. After which you can safely remove the faulty part. A small amount of antifreeze may leak from the radiator, so be prepared to use some kind of cloth.
At the last stage, all that remains is to disconnect from the heater tap the tube through which the antifreeze is supplied; this can be done using a ten key. After which you need to move it to a new faucet, replacing the rubber gasket with a new one.
So, we conclude that replacing a faucet is not something scary or incomprehensible. By spending just a little free time, you save a little money, and also gain experience related to car repairs. That's it, have a good trip and no breakdowns.
P.S. If you have any tips or additions, write in the comments.
The heater valve is used to regulate the flow of coolant through the radiator. In the warm season, there is no need to heat the interior, so the tap is most often in the closed position.
With the arrival of cold weather, we again remember the possibility of adjusting the temperature in the cabin, but sometimes we encounter unexpected problems: the heater tap (when liquid passes through it) can leak, oxidize and even jam (if not used for a long time). This part cannot be disassembled or repaired, so all that remains to restore the heating system is stove valve replacement.
The operations for replacing the heater valve on different cars are very similar and differ mainly in the need to dismantle some parts to gain access to the failed valve.
Note: the heater faucet from the Zhiguli also fits the Volga, Niva, and Oka cars.
According to the instructions, before proceeding with the removal of the pipes, it is necessary to drain the liquid from the engine cooling system. This operation can be omitted, given the fact that the stove radiator and pipes are located above the level of the main radiator. It should be taken into account that some of the coolant will still leak out, so you need to have a small container on hand.
Use a screwdriver to loosen the clamps and remove the hoses from the heater radiator pipes. Do not forget to place a container under the hoses to drain the coolant leaking from the pipes.
Using the "8" key, unscrew the two self-tapping screws and remove the seal from the radiator pipes.
In the car interior, remove the instrument panel shelf. For convenience, remove the glove box body. On VAZ 2104, 2107 with an instrument panel with side air ducts, it is also necessary to dismantle the air duct by unscrewing the nut to “10” and prying the latches around the perimeter with a slotted screwdriver.
Using a key set to “7”, loosen the screw and disconnect the heater tap drive rod (1).
Using a “10” wrench, unscrew the two nuts securing the valve to the heater radiator (2) and remove the heater valve along with the inlet pipe and rubber gasket.
Using a "10" wrench, unscrew the two nuts and disconnect the inlet pipe with the gasket from the tap. Pay attention to the gasket profile.
We remove and replace the drive rod mounting bracket on the new faucet.
Advice: it is better to replace the “old” metal hose clamps with new reinforced ones (blue).
We install a new faucet with new gaskets in the reverse order of removal. To be on the safe side, we apply sealant to the joint surface between the faucet and the radiator, as well as the faucet and the inlet pipe.
We fill the engine cooling system with liquid (if it is completely drained) or add some of the liquid that leaked from the pipes and radiator during replacement, and make sure that the connection between the valve and the heater radiator and the inlet pipe is tight.
Among car owners on various forums, discussions constantly arise about which heater tap is better. Most often, battles unfold between two options: ball or ceramic. Almost no one doubts that a standard valve based on a rubber membrane is not reliable, more often than others it leaks, “sticks” and is especially susceptible to acidification. As proof of this, see the images above, where the reason for the replacement is a jammed faucet and a fluid leak.
A ball valve, in principle, is also not bad, the undoubted advantage of such a valve is its greater throughput compared to a ceramic one (when open, the passage hole is equal to the internal diameter of the pipe). At low temperatures this is especially noticeable, but the likelihood of souring is higher for a ball valve than for a ceramic one.
In Moscow and the Moscow region, the average price for a heater valve for a VAZ 2101-2107 is in the range of 120-130 rubles. Moreover, the prices for factory, ball or ceramic valves are practically the same.
Replacing a faucet in a car service costs 400 rubles and more.
We recommend changing the heater tap yourself. First, you will save money and gain experience in car repairs. Secondly, this operation will not take much time (about 1 hour), and all the necessary information is given in this article.
Among the main disadvantages of the classics, there is one that appears at the wrong moment - it is leaking.
The VAZ heater valve is part of the vehicle’s cooling system and the interior heating system. The main function of the valve is to open or close the supply of coolant to the car's heater radiator. In the open position, the VAZ heater valve ensures the circulation of heated coolant in the heating system; in the closed position, it stops the circulation of the coolant, which allows cold air to blow.
The heater tap for VAZ car owners after the summer or after the car has been parked for a long time. They wanted to make it hotter, they pulled the faucet position regulator and tore off its fastening. There is no point in repairing the heater tap of a VAZ; it is better to buy a new one and say goodbye to this problem.
To do this, you only need to drain the heater; just remove the tube from the heater pipe and drain 1.5 liters of coolant.
Next, we look under the panel for the VAZ heater tap and, having unscrewed the plastic plug in the tap, pull the valve out of the glass and throw it away. Now you need to build a plug according to the size of the glass, for example, 20 or 3 kopeck USSR coins are suitable as a plug.
Next, install the plug and tighten the plug. We get an empty housing through which the coolant of the vase passes without problems. Next, we go to a plumbing store and buy a good ball water tap with a handle bent at an angle.
Under the hood, we cut the long pipe of the stove to the size of the new faucet and install our faucet in the slot. Clamp it with clamps and fill it with antifreeze. That's it, let's enjoy life in the warm interior of the vases.
