Algorithm for removing the dashboard

To begin with, we note that in VAZ 2109 and 2110 cars the dashboard can be assembled in different ways. Accordingly, the process of removing the panel will be different.

How to remove the old-style dashboard? To do this, we arm ourselves with the tools that we provided above and begin:

Remove the battery terminals (one is possible);

• Next, you need to remove the elements (there are 3 of them) that are responsible for controlling the speed of the stove;
• We also dismantle the handle of the stove itself;
• The cover is held in place by screws on the sides that need to be unscrewed. It moves towards itself;
• We find the wiring harness from the rear headlight switch and disconnect it;
• We do the same with the pads from the rear window heater and emergency lights. The car's exterior light control, which is located on the left, must also be disconnected from the connector;
• The cigarette lighter wiring harness is disconnected;
• Now you need to remove the screws securing the dashboard visor (where the instrument scales are located);
• We remove it, and then bend the clamps and remove the entire instrument cluster housing;
• The speedometer cable is disconnected. To do this, you just need to unscrew the corresponding nut;
• We find an element with white wires and disconnect it;
• We dismantle the hose from the econometer;
• We take out the cotter pin, and then disconnect the meter reset cable from the speedometer;

• We find the red wire element
  and dismantle it too;
• The headlight and lighting control knobs are removed. It will be enough to pull them towards you;
• Here we find nuts that will also need to be unscrewed using a socket;
• We dismantle the steering wheel and steering column switches. Don’t forget to set the key in the ignition switch to the zero position, and only then disconnect the block with wires;
• Find the steering column pipe clamp and unscrew its bolts;
• The steering column pipe is dismantled. The ignition switch also comes out with it;
• The choke handle is pulled towards itself until the thrust becomes visible. After this, you need to remove the handle from the rod;
• Unscrew the torpedo screws located near the air damper;
• On the left, unscrew the screw that secures the panel on the side;
• Also unscrew the screw from below;
• We do the same on the right side;
• We unscrew the screw that is located inside the glove compartment;
• Unscrew the remaining screws and remove the torpedo.



Now we’ll find out how to remove the new model torpedo:

• De-energize the power source;
• Lower the car steering wheel to the lowest position;
• The screws securing the dashboard must be unscrewed. First, unscrew 2 screws on the right and left on the central tunnel;
• Remove the plug near the parking brake lever;
• We unbend it with pliers or another tool for fastening devices;
• Carefully remove the torpedo.
• Some elements of the dashboard can be secured with M5 bolts.
• Disconnect all connectors.

An alternative replacement for the instrument panel on these cars can be various torpedoes. Here are two of them for comparison:

• AMC
  - instrument panel from VAZ 2115 and Chevy Niva. There are obvious differences from the VAZ 2109 and 2110 torpedoes. In particular, this is an integrated oil pressure indicator. In addition, the dashboard looks much more interesting than the standard one;
• Pro-Sport
  . Sports instrument panel. Among the features include a beautiful blue backlight with the ability to adjust the intensity.

Using the instructions above, removing the instrument panel will not be difficult. Knowing how to remove a torpedo on a VAZ 2109 and 2110, you can independently replace it with a more integrated one.

VAZ-2114: how to remove the panel?

VAZ-2114: how to remove the panel? To repair and replace many car parts, preliminary dismantling of the dashboard is required. Fortunately, for most models this is an easy task. Let's figure out how to remove the dashboard of a VAZ-2114.

Preparation

To remove the front panel, you will need, firstly, a lot of time and patience (as we have already said, this task is not difficult, but you will have to remove a lot of elements and unscrew a bunch of fasteners); secondly, tools - you need to prepare a Phillips and flathead screwdriver and a marker.

Removing the panel

You see, as we promised, the procedure is quite lengthy. In addition, it is quite painstaking; it is important to carefully follow the instructions so as not to miss a single fastening. If, when taking the last step, namely directly removing the panel, you feel that something is in the way, don’t rush, perhaps you forgot to unfasten some element, go through the instructions again and try again. We hope you succeed! But if you feel that you cannot cope with the task on your own, turn to professionals.

We remove the VAZ 2110 torpedo and install the trim: detailed instructions with photos

In the interior of the VAZ 2110, the dashboard is the most noticeable part. Every driver wants to sit in a stylish and well-maintained interior. But the standard panel looks angular and gray. This is especially noticeable after long-term use, when abrasions, scratches and cracks appear on the panel. Motorists solve this problem in different ways - some install another standard dashboard from a VAZ 2110, other drivers prefer to install a Europanel - this is the name of the trim from a third-party manufacturer. The trim allows you to transform the interior and turn the “ten” into a foreign car, at least on the inside. Whatever you choose, removing the panel is a must. In this material we will tell you how to properly dismantle the standard panel and install the Euro version.

Alternative torpedo

The alternative dashboard is softer than the standard “tens” dashboard, but the main advantage is the absence of unpleasant grinding and squeaking. Motorists decide to get rid of the standard one precisely because of the squeaking. For the VAZ 2110 car there are several types of panels that differ in design.

The panel is sold as a set:

• The panel itself, which is an alternative to standard plastic.
• Buttons, brackets and inserts for blowers and instrument panels.
• A set of wires and a block for a double switch.
• Buttons for low beam, heating, dimensions and fog lights.
• Plugs for buttons are installed in places where keys are not needed.

The experience of the owners of the “Ten” shows that proper removal and installation of the Europanel improves sound insulation, increases airflow and changes the appearance of the VAZ 2110 interior for the better.

We remove the torpedo

Removing and installing a new torpedo on a VAZ 2110 takes a lot of time, we also advise you to be patient, since there are dozens of connections and wires in this part of the interior. Each action must be careful, since the VAZ 2110 mounts are very fragile and can be easily broken. After this, the panel will no longer fit properly, and the car will noticeably increase in squeaking while driving.

In some cases, it is not necessary to completely dismantle the standard panel. Our article provides a description of a complete analysis.

Necessary tool

To remove the case, you should have in your arsenal:

• Labels with adhesive backing.
• Marker or pencil.
• Set of screwdrivers and keys.

The main assistants in this work will be a 10 mm wrench and a Phillips screwdriver. We need a pencil or a washable marker in order to mark the removed elements. This also applies to self-adhesive labels. There are too many wires and parts, after disassembling you will already forget where each component is located. Markings and stickers will remind you of the location of wires and parts.

Dismantling

Removing the dashboard takes a lot of time, since there are a huge number of wires under it, through which electricity is distributed throughout the cabin. The fastenings on the dashboard of the VAZ-2110 car are fragile, so every action during dismantling must be careful. If the fastenings are damaged, it will be impossible to firmly install the panel in its original place, and squeaks and noise during movement will increase significantly. In most cases, to improve the design there is no need to completely remove the panel; it is enough to dismantle only the upper part, but there are non-standard situations, so the article offers a description of a complete analysis.

Removing and installing a torpedo on a VAZ 2110 with your own hands

The need to remove and replace the dashboard on a VAZ 2110 car may arise when repairing devices and parts located under its surface. In particular, it is with the removal of the dashboard that the car’s air intakes are inspected. Sometimes they can become clogged and prevent your heating or air conditioning systems from working properly. The process of removing and replacing the dashboard on a VAZ 2110 is not particularly simple. To carry it out, you will need to be patient and master the skills of masterly working with instruments.

How to easily and quickly remove the dashboard on a VAZ 2110 with your own hands?

Without a doubt, the dashboard is the most noticeable interior detail in a car, because it is located right in front of the eyes of passengers and drivers. The need to remove the dashboard on a VAZ 2110 may arise for car owners for a variety of reasons.

So, by removing this part, you can get full access to all the electrical components of your vehicle, replace the burnt-out wiring with a new one, connect additional devices or lighting, install a Euro trim or sound insulation.

Options for replacing the standard VAZ 2110 panel:

If desired, you can cover the dashboard with various materials of your choice, thereby making the desired changes to the interior of the cabin.

I would like to say right away that removing and replacing a torpedo on a VAZ 2110 will require a lot of time and patience from you. In addition, all repair work must be carried out extremely carefully and carefully so as not to accidentally break the fastening, since the dashboard will not fit back as it should and will creak when driving.

What should be considered when replacing a torpedo on a VAZ 2110

Replacing the torpedo on a VAZ 2110 will not only add some charm to the car, but can greatly improve the ride comfort not only for the passenger, but also for the driver. After all, you can replace the dashboard with a torpedo. When replacing it, the following points should be taken into account:

• What exactly does the car owner want to achieve with a replacement? This could be an increase in space in the cabin in front of the front seat.
• Just to give, so to speak, an expensive look to the car.
• Organize a place to install additional devices - radios, screens, and so on.

In any case, you can get the most beneficial effect from such an undertaking.

The first thing to consider when selecting a torpedo for a VAZ 2110 is its size and the shape of the car’s interior.

It is also worth considering the category of people, passengers, who will be in the car. This will sometimes improve the safety of the vehicle.

Once the type of torpedo is determined, it is worth thinking about what additional functions it should perform. This could be the installation of additional equipment, space for mobile phones, space for a car audio system - speakers, or a radio.

The next stage is choosing a coating. It is best to get it as universal as possible and try to install torpedoes with the following coatings:

• Plastic. The torpedo is made entirely of plastic without unnecessary inserts.
• Plastic with wooden or leather inserts.

These are the two most popular types of torpedoes for the VAZ 2110, which are the most practical to use and will best suit almost any type of interior.

Removing and replacing the dashboard (front panel) on a VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112

Next, using a screwdriver, pry up and remove the plugs at the upper corners of the instrument panel mounting. In reality it looks like this.

On the other side, we do the same, after which, using a socket and an extension, we unscrew the nuts securing the instrument panel in the upper part.

Now let's move on to the remaining attachment points. At the bottom, in the left and right parts of the panel - in the corners, there is also one screw that needs to be unscrewed. The first one is shown below.

Of course, the mounting block will also have to be removed so that it remains intact with the sub-panel wiring.

Many owners who have owned a VAZ 2110 for a long time would like to change the boring panel to a more modern one. In this case, you can install a new type of panel from cars manufactured after 2006. or from the “Bogdan” versions, which are analogues of the tenth family, except perhaps of the Ukrainian assembly.

With such alterations, basically you won’t have to change anything, but it’s worth considering that in this case you need to buy a complete Europanel:

• instrument panel frame assembly with trim
• instrument panel (combination)
• buttons and switches
• heater deflectors
• New heater control unit
• sub-panel wiring
• steering wheel, cover and switches

Only in this case everything becomes without any problems with minimal labor costs.

There is another method of modifying and tuning the instrument panel, which consists of replacing the dashboard from the Priora - VAZ 2170. Of course, the appearance will be much more interesting than even the Europanel, but connection and installation require a lot of investments, both financial and physical. The main problem with this modification is that the connectors for the under-panel wiring of the Priora and the under-hood of the VAZ 2110, which of course need to be connected, are different, and the connectors simply do not fit together.

In this case, there are two ways:

1. Completely take all the wiring from the Priora, including the engine compartment harness, interior harness, power window control unit, comfort unit, etc.
2. Join completely two different types of wiring manually, cutting off the connectors and insulating almost every wire.

Do-it-yourself torpedo tuning VAZ 2110 photo, video

Prerequisites for revision

Not all owners of dozens are satisfied with the stock interior, and it is much more pleasant for every person to sit in a beautiful car and therefore you can do the tuning of the VAZ 2110 torpedo with your own hands

This point needs to be given sufficient attention

Tuning a VAZ 2110 torpedo with your own hands

Panel

Tuning a car's dashboard means its modification, improvement, and in a certain sense, modernization.

The VAZ 2110 torpedo can be reupholstered with whatever material the owner likes; there are no limits to your imagination; for example, Alcantara. The process itself is quite labor-intensive and time-consuming, because the dashboard has many different bends and the material has to be sewn together in some places. The biggest difficulty in tuning a tight-fitting torpedo is made by the buttons located on the sides.

Before starting work, the torpedo panel must be removed in order to make a pattern using it, accurately determine the places where the fabric will be sewn, and add approximately one centimeter on each side to sew the parts together. To make a pattern, it is better to use thick Whatman paper.

If sewing a pattern for a torpedo with your own hands turns out poorly, then it is best to contact an experienced tailor.

Dashboard

Each driver arranges the interior of the car according to his own taste preferences, which reflects the character and disposition of the driver, surprising with its versatility.

You can change the appearance of the VAZ 2110 dashboard as follows:

• Using overlays. It is better to use top or side covers, which additionally come with air ducts. For originals, it is acceptable to use wood-look overlays. They will give the VAZ 2110 car more respectability. This pad has a fastening mechanism, air ducts, parts for connecting sensors;
• Removing the panel. Removing the old panel is somewhat difficult, because unscrewing 7 screws is not difficult, but the remaining 2 need to either be broken out or the panel lifted and carefully cut off. However, there is no need to worry, because the new panel will cover everything. After the old instrument panel trim has been removed, it is necessary to prepare it for installation. The remains of the factory material are carefully cut off, and the sides are adjusted during installation.
