Adjusting the hood latch is easy to do with your own hands

Let's take a closer look at the hood of our car. Has there been any strangeness in his behavior? Often we do not pay attention to such little things as the fact that the hood has become a little worse to close, more and more effort is required each time to open it, and a rattling noise has appeared (at first light and intermittent). After all, all this happens gradually, and therefore imperceptibly. We forget about such a simple matter as adjusting the hood latch.

Timely diagnosis is the key to safety

We notice a flat tire or a “sick” starter immediately and take urgent measures to eliminate the problem. And a tired hood lock, according to most car enthusiasts, “does not affect speed.” Indeed, it does not affect, but many are terribly annoyed by repeated clapping, nervously tugging at the handle in the hope that Sesame will finally open. And all this happens, as a rule, at the most inopportune moments. It seems like a small thing, but an irritated driver is a threat on the road, and for absolutely all road users.

Or a hood that opens of its own accord while driving... Even at low speed this can create serious problems.

Let’s not put off such a “trifle” as adjustment. Moreover, all operations can be performed independently, without resorting to the help of service station workers, and most importantly, completely free of charge!

And this happens sometimes!

Removal and installation

It is quite easy to remove and install the hood of a VAZ 2114 yourself, without resorting to the help of a car service. How to do this will be discussed further. The hood is held in place by hinges located along the rear edge of the front part of the body. There is a hood lock with a hook at the front, which prevents it from opening while the car is moving. In the open position, the hood rests on a metal stop. The lock has a cable drive with a handle, which is located inside the cabin under the instrument panel on the left side.

Replacing the cable

After the hood lid has been successfully opened, you need to install a new mechanism cable. To do this you need:

Buy a new cable. In the store you can find two versions of its design: single-core and stranded. We recommend using the second option, as it has increased strength, service life and reliability.
Next you will need a cord, which should be tied to the end of the cable in the hood.
From the interior side, pull the old cable and insert the cord into the interior. At the same time, replace the O-ring in the body through which the hood mechanism element passes.
Similarly, tie a new cable to the cord and pull it out into the engine compartment.
Attach it to the lock and to the handle in the interior.
Be sure to check that the mechanism is working properly.

Thus, you have become acquainted with quick and simple instructions on how to open the hood of a VAZ 2114 and are probably convinced that there is nothing complicated about it. Good luck on the roads and don't break down.

Adjusting the gaps between the hood and wings of the VAZ 2114

Open and place the hood on the stop. Loosen the bolts securing it to the hinges. There are two of them on each side. After this, we cover the hood and install it so that the gaps between the wings and the hood are equal on both the right and left sides. Now carefully lift the hood and thoroughly tighten the fastening bolts.

You can adjust the height of the hood by changing the height of the adjusting buffers. There are two of them. These buffers must be installed so that the surfaces of the wings and hood coincide.

The height of the buffers can be adjusted by turning them in or out. Having completed all these operations, you need to make sure that the hood now opens easily and closes securely with the lock. If the closure does not close securely or there are other problems with closing, the hood latch must be adjusted.

Step-by-step instruction

Nine car enthusiasts are interested in how to open the hood when the cable is worn out or there is no lubricant in the moving device. The tasks of the first element include ensuring the opening and closing of the car hood. If the cable breaks, then it is necessary to identify the location of its break. Usually it is located where the car owner pulls the lever. Less often this happens under the hood of the VAZ 21099 .

In the first case, you will need to move your hand around the lever, making sure that the cable does not fit into this device. It is recommended to examine the area around the handle. If the place is determined, then using pliers you need to hook the edge of the cable. Then he is pulled towards the salon. Auto mechanics advise making a hook at the end of the rope. If the above procedure is performed correctly, then the hood of the VAZ will open quickly.

In the second case, the cable breaks on the drive. In this situation, it is possible to replace the rope in question with a homemade one. Car enthusiasts who do not understand device 21099 are advised to seek professional help. Otherwise, the hood can be opened forward or backward.

To open the hood forward, you will need to remove the grille. This is necessary to obtain access to the corresponding castle. It is recommended to first inspect the grille and find out whether it is possible to remove it with your own hands or not.

Opening the hood backwards is considered a more complicated procedure. This problem can be solved in 2 ways.

How to open the hood of a VAZ 2109

One of the options is to open the hood

outside.

Adjusting the lock

Adjusting the lock may be necessary when the hood does not close well or you have to exert quite a lot of force to close it. This adjustment is also necessary if there is vertical play in the hood when it is in the closed position.

In addition, hard impacts when closing, as well as difficulties when opening, also require this adjustment. In order to complete this procedure you will need:

It is necessary to loosen the tightened locknut while holding the latch with a screwdriver to prevent turning. It is very easy to adjust the height of the latch. To do this, you either need to wrap it or, conversely, unscrew it. To adjust the horizontal position of the latch, move it in the required direction. After the adjustment is completed, you need to make sure the lock is working correctly. If it still does not close or any defects still remain, the adjustment procedure will need to be repeated.

Other reasons for poor performance

It happens that all the adjustments have been made, but the hood of the VAZ 2114 still does not close or does not work well. In this case, you need to lubricate the hood pin with graphite grease. If this does not help, then the reason lies in the old cable that operates the lock.

Dried grease in the jacket prevents the cable from moving freely. You can revive it by trying to fill it with grease or replace it with a new one.

How to ensure ease of opening and reliable fixation?

For these purposes, a special part is sold that can be installed on the car yourself. This part is called a gas stop. They replace the standard rack and, as a result, the consumer properties of the car increase sharply. The opening of the hood begins as follows. You only need to lift the hood a little with one hand. Next, the gas stop gets to work. He himself will raise the hood to the required height and securely fix it there. The standard stop will no longer be used. During operation, this stop does not require any maintenance.

Many owners of VAZ 2114 cars prefer to install a gas strut on their car, especially since the installation process does not require much effort. To perform this operation you will need:

The stops themselves;
Two keys for 13;
Four nuts with washers for 13mm;
Drill;
Eight-millimeter drill;
A little enamel and bitumen.

First of all, we lift the hood and install it on the still old stop. After this, you need to mark the places where there will be holes that you will need to drill yourself. On both sides of the hood you need to measure 530 millimeters.

In this case, the internal distance between the two holes will be 310 millimeters. The holes will be drilled into the thickening of the hood, inside of which there is a void. Nevertheless, the procedure should be approached with all responsibility, because if you overdo it, you can drill a hole in the hood itself. After making sure that everything is marked correctly, we proceed directly to drilling. Using a drill you need to make four holes. Two in the hood thickening and two under the hood, one on each side of the body cross member. To prevent the possibility of corrosion, it is advisable to treat the resulting holes with an anti-corrosion compound and paint. After this, you can proceed directly to the installation. We take the gas stop and install it in the drilled holes on one side. We do the same with the second emphasis. They will need to be screwed. For those who work without an assistant, it is better to first screw the stops onto the hood, and only then onto the body. If there is someone nearby who can support the hood, then the sequence of actions does not really matter. When everything is done, it will be possible to test the set stops in action. You will need to try opening and closing the hood several times. It should open easily and smoothly, and closing should not be accompanied by significant effort.

We are solving the question of how to change the hood cable on a VAZ 2114

Many VAZ 2114 owners are wondering how to change the hood cable on a VAZ 2114. In order to cope with this task, you must have certain skills, knowledge and tools. Unfortunately, various emergency situations actually happen quite often with this car.

Many of them are related precisely to the problem of a broken cord of the mechanism responsible for opening the hood. The hood cable is necessary so that it can be used to open the hood directly from inside the car. How is the cable replaced?

Additional Information. There is absolutely nothing complicated in all of the listed procedures, however, in order to cope with them, you must have at least basic knowledge about the structure of the car, as well as the simplest skills. The main thing that anyone who is going to fix this problem themselves needs is detailed information on how to begin this procedure.

Replacing the hood cable of a VAZ 2114 consists of several stages. On the first one you need to open the hood.

Caring for the body in general and the hood in particular

It's no secret that the body is the main and most expensive part of any car. VAZ 2114 is no exception in this regard. The body of this car is made of high-quality metal and is quite well protected from corrosion. However, the effectiveness of factory anti-corrosion treatment also depends on the attention and care of the owner, the storage conditions of the machine, as well as operating conditions.

You may see scratches and scuffs on the hoods of some cars. This most often occurs due to the fact that the owners removed dust, remaining dirt and sand from the body with a dry cloth. This is absolutely impossible to do. To remove dirt from the hood, you must first soak it with water and use a damp and soft sponge. If bird droppings are found on the hood or the entire body, it is necessary to get rid of it as soon as possible. It is very aggressive to enamel and, if left on it for a long time, can even corrode the paint until the metal is exposed.

If you wash the body yourself, then in the summer you need to do it in the shade. If this condition cannot be met, you should immediately wipe the washed surface dry, since stains may form when drops of water dry under the scorching sun. In winter, after washing the car in a warm room before leaving, wipe the body and door seals dry, since freezing of the remaining drops may cause cracks in the paintwork and freezing of the seals to the body. It is not recommended to use soda and alkaline solutions, as well as waste water, to wash the car so that the coating does not fade.

Sound insulation of the hood

Many owners of the VAZ 2114 would like to feel less noise while driving the car. We must admit that the engine in this car is far from quiet. The noise from its operation is clearly transmitted into the cabin. Soundproofing the hood can help solve this problem. But you shouldn’t limit yourself to just that. For a more noticeable effect, it is necessary to soundproof the front wings and the wall of the engine compartment.

The hood is a rigid frame, which consists of a welded steel profile, as well as a steel sheet, which is, in fact, the hood cover. Only the inside of the hood cover needs to be glued with soundproofing material.

Pieces must be cut out of the material for vibration absorption, repeating the shape of the cells between the stiffening frame. After gluing all the cells, you need to stick another material on top of them, which is called foil splen. This will help significantly reduce the noise level coming from the engine compartment.

Replacing the cable

After the hood lid has been successfully opened, you need to install a new mechanism cable. To do this you need:

Buy a new cable. In the store you can find two versions of its design: single-core and stranded. We recommend using the second option, as it has increased strength, service life and reliability.
Next you will need a cord, which should be tied to the end of the cable in the hood.
From the interior side, pull the old cable and insert the cord into the interior. At the same time, replace the O-ring in the body through which the hood mechanism element passes.
Similarly, tie a new cable to the cord and pull it out into the engine compartment.
Attach it to the lock and to the handle in the interior.
Be sure to check that the mechanism is working properly.
