Possible faults of the Niva Chevrolet clutch
Cause of fault
Remedy
Incomplete disengagement of the clutch (clutch "leads")
Signs of a throttle valve that does not close completely may include increased idle speed and fuel consumption
The vehicle steering can be equipped with three types of options
The steering mechanism without a booster is shown in Figure 1
Remove the master cylinder for replacement or repair if there is a fluid leak, the clutch does not fully disengage (may be caused by a fluid leak or wear of the seals), or if the clutch does not fully engage (as a result of the compensation hole being clogged or blocked by a swollen seal)
We remove the rear suspension rods in cases when it is necessary to remove the suspension or repair the rods themselves
External signs of the need to remove bearings for defect detection are:
- – increased noise when the wheel rotates;
Removing and installing the lower arm of the front suspension
Remove the arm for replacement if it has mechanical damage or to replace worn silent blocks (see "Checking the Niva Chevrolet suspension").
A minor oil leak (sweating) from under the front bearing seal of the main gear is allowed, but if the gearbox and the bottom of the car above the main gear are heavily oiled, the seal should be replaced
The Chevrolet Niva family of cars (VAZ-2123) are equipped with 4-cylinder engines with in-line vertical cylinders and an overhead camshaft, equipped with a distributed fuel injection system.
You will need: 13 mm, 17 mm, 27 mm wrenches, and a lug wrench.
Disconnect the front propeller shaft from the front axle gearbox (see "Removing and lubricating the Niva propeller shaft").
If it is impossible to fully open or close the throttle valve by adjusting the throttle actuator or the actuator sticks, replace the throttle actuator cable
