When operating Russian VAZ cars, there is often a desire to change and remake everything to your taste and color. Now buying a new or used dashboard is not a problem. You yourself can easily change the panel in the VAZ 2109, using a minimum of tools, skills and time. And all this in order to make your car different from others.
It is necessary
- - new car dashboard;
- - screwdriver;
- - self-tapping screws;
- - wrenches 8 mm and 10 mm;
- - instruction manual for the VAZ 2109.
Instructions
Step 1
Remove the terminals from the battery so that all electrical appliances are turned off. Set the front wheels straight. Disconnect the carburetor choke lever pull rod and the speedometer drive cable from the manual transmission. Remove the three heater control knobs, the fan switch knob, unscrew the two screws securing the instrument cluster, remove the steering wheel and switches under the steering wheel.
Step 2
Using a screwdriver, unscrew the screws that hold the glove compartment and all the screws in general that were screwed by the manufacturer so that the panel does not creak, unscrew the nuts on the sides of the panel and two nuts at the bottom of the panel near the stove. Dismantle all electrical appliances that go to the panel. In order not to forget where this or that plug comes from, mark them for yourself. This will save you assembly time.
Step 3
Unscrew the bracket with levers that secure the stove, as in the new model of the dashboard they will be different and the panel may not stand up. Remove the entire dashboard with your partner and remove it from the car. Check the panel dimensions in order to find a new model that will suit you. To do this, you can visit specialized forums for the repair and operation of the VAZ 2109.
Step 4
Mount the new panel instead of the old one, tighten the nuts. Additionally glue the entire panel for better sound insulation. Screw the self-tapping screws in all possible places so that the panel does not creak when driving, irritating the driver and passengers.
