Every year there are fewer Volga GAZ-2410, 3110 cars. Once prestigious and attractive, they are gradually being replaced by foreign cars. The main reasons for this are insufficient comfort, increased fuel consumption, and poor-quality assembly. However, true adherents of domestic cars continue to appreciate and love the Volga and are in no hurry to change it to another car.
Instructions
Step 1
Start by diagnosing the chassis (steering). To do this, turn the steering wheel to the right / left until it stops and using a backlash meter (and if it is not there, "by eye") determine the backlash of the steering wheel. It is made up of gaps on the steering rods and steering gear. If the backlash does not exceed the permissible value, then repair is not needed. If it is larger, determine the reason. Most often it is the wear of the steering parts. Adjust (reduce) the backlash or replace worn parts depending on the amount of wear.
Check the backlash in the connection of the stub axle to the beam. To do this, hang out the front wheel with a jack and shake it forward / backward with your hands. If movement and characteristic knocking is felt, it is necessary to change the king pin and bearings. Do the same with the second wheel.
Check the mountings of the shock absorbers. Replace the rubber bushings if they are worn out.
Then measure the air pressure in the tires, if necessary, bring to normal.
Step 2
The next stage of repair is the transmission. Malfunction of any of its mechanisms - gearbox, clutch, propeller shaft, rear axle - immediately manifests itself when the car is moving: noise, knocking, vibration occurs.
Replace worn transmission parts to restore functionality.
Check the oil level in the gearbox and rear axle gearbox. Top up or replace if necessary.
Check the attachment of the propeller shaft.
Step 3
The brake system is best diagnosed at the test bench. But first, decide on the need for its repair and adjustment. To do this, accelerate the car and press the brake pedal on a straight section of dry asphalt. The traces of wheel braking will show if the brake system is working properly.
If braking does not occur simultaneously on all wheels or braking of the front wheels starts earlier than the rear wheels, adjustment is necessary.
In the event that the wear of the brake pads or drum does not allow making the desired adjustment, replace them.
Check the tightness of the brake master cylinder and slave cylinders. Change the rubber cuffs if leaks occur. After that "bleed" the system (remove air from it).
Step 4
It is better to repair the engine at a specialized company. Check its attachment. Replace crushed mounting pads if necessary.
Step 5
Repair the power supply, ignition, cooling systems in the following sequence: remove, wash, inspect, put in place. If during visual inspection you find defective parts, replace them.
