Repair of VAZ-2121
The VAZ-21213 and its variants are off-road passenger cars. All wheels are permanently driven (non-disengageable all-wheel drive), and there is a center differential lock. The body is a monocoque, all-metal, welded unit. The engine is a four-cylinder, in-line, gasoline, four-stroke engine; the engine is mounted in the front, longitudinally. The VAZ-21213 is equipped with a 1.7-liter carbureted engine, the 21213 model, while the VAZ-21214 is equipped with a 21214 engine of the same displacement with multipoint fuel injection. (Previously, the VAZ-21214 was equipped with a 21214 engine with central fuel injection and a microprocessor-controlled ignition system.) The VAZ-21215 (sold for export) is equipped with a 1.9-liter XUD-9SD diesel engine from the Peugeot-Citroën concern.
VAZ-21214 vehicles are equipped with a three-component neutralizer emission control system.
The principle of operation of the shock absorber is based on the creation of increased resistance to body rocking due to the forced flow of fluid through small flow sections in the valves (this applies to oil shock absorbers, while in gas shock absorbers the principle of operation is based on the pressure of gas pumped under a certain pressure)
