Lada Kalina car repair
The LADA KALINA is a five-seat passenger car with a front-engine, front-wheel drive, and an all-metal welded monocoque body.
The LADA KALINA meets passive safety requirements.
The front and rear bumpers are made of impact-resistant polypropylene, which absorbs impact energy in a collision. A crossbar is located at the front of the car under the dashboard. The B-pillar, roof, and sills are reinforced. All doors have metal crossbars for additional rigidity.
The standard configuration includes electric power steering, significantly improving control. For added convenience and safety, a wide range of options is available: driver and passenger airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, anti-lock brakes, air conditioning, fog lights, power-folding outside mirrors, and heated front seats.
The vehicles are equipped with a four-cylinder, in-line, four-stroke, eight-valve VAZ-21114 engine with a displacement of 1.6 liters and electronically controlled multipoint fuel injection. All vehicles are equipped with a catalytic converter, which enables them to meet current Euro-2 or Euro-3 emission standards, depending on the configuration.
To ensure good stability and controllability of the car, the front wheels are installed at certain angles relative to the body and suspension elements

If, when the engine is warmed up to operating temperature and idling, the emergency oil pressure lamp lights up, then you need to make sure that:
Remove the steering mechanism (see "Removing the steering column with electric power steering of a Lada Kalina car").
Remove the steering mechanism cover (see "How to replace the steering mechanism cover and the mechanism itself of the Lada Kalina car").
Remove the instrument panel assembly with the heater to replace the heater core, remove the heater fan motor, and also to remove the heater assembly
Applies to engines without hydraulic compensators
To compensate for thermal expansion of the valve stem, a gap is required between the camshaft cam and the valve tappet
