Generator Lada Priora price, article number, location, principle of operation

Without electricity, nothing will work. So on a car, the voltage in the on-board network is maintained by a generator. You need to understand how many amperes you need in the on-board network.

It all depends on the amount of attachments, air conditioning, heating, etc. Depending on the configuration, a generator is also selected. Read the article to the end and we will cover this topic. Removing and replacing the generator on a Lada Priora car depends on the attachments; if the car does not have air conditioning, then the unit can be removed in 6 steps. If the air conditioner costs 9 steps, we will talk about them in the article. This part on Priora comes in 3 types. Their prices are also different.

The generator tension roller 2170 serves to tension the belt. One of the important tips for beginners: if you unscrew any bolt when changing a part, lubricate it with graphite grease, this will greatly facilitate repairs in the future.

Causes of problems

Lack of power supply may be due to mechanical damage or disturbances in the electrical device of the generator.

In the first case it is:

body deformation;
violation of fixation (breakage of fastenings);
wear of bearings, springs, couplings and other components.

Electrical problems on Lada Priora:

interruption of the electrical circuit in the winding/short circuit;
relay failure;
disturbances in the conductivity of the diode bridge current;
wear of carbon brushes;
armature plate deformation/short circuit.

It’s good if the damage turns out to be minor, for example, wear of the carbon brushes. Then replacing them will solve the problem. In some cases, only a new unit can correct the situation. To replace the brushes, you can get by with freeing access to the dynamo without removing it, but replacement requires the complete dismantling of the equipment.

The principle of operation, what it consists of and the main malfunctions

The generator converts the mechanical energy coming from the engine into electrical energy. The principle of operation and its design are the same for all cars. The difference lies only in the quality, dimensions and location of the connecting nodes.

What it consists of:

Pulley - transmits mechanical energy through the belt from the engine to the generator.
The body is presented in the form of two covers. The starter is attached to them and the rotor supports are placed. The back cover contains external terminals for connecting to electrical equipment, a voltage regulator, a rectifier and a brush assembly.
Stator - produces power. It is made of steel sheets and has the shape of a pipe. A three-phase winding is installed in the stator slots.
The rotor is the moving part of the unit. When the engine starts, the rotor begins to rotate, and voltage is supplied to its exciting winding from the battery. The steel core becomes electromagnetic, creating an alternating magnetic field when rotated.
Voltage regulator - maintains voltage stability in the on-board network when the ambient temperature and rotor speed changes.
Assembly with rectifier diodes
Diode module cover
The brush assembly is a removable structure where brushes are installed that interact with the rotor rings.

Design and principle of operation of the generator

This device converts the mechanical energy received from the crankshaft into electricity. Thanks to the generator, power is supplied to the electrical appliances of the car. It powers the ignition, recharges the battery and other systems. When the driver starts the engine, the largest amount of electricity is consumed by the starter. At this moment, power to electrical consumers is supplied only from the battery. Naturally, the battery may drain quickly. To prevent this from happening, it must be powered by a generator.

The generator consists of an aluminum housing, inside of which there is a rotor on bearings and a coil. There is a stationary stator between the back and front covers. A belt connected to the crankshaft causes the rotor to rotate. To rectify the current in terms of voltage and strength, a diode rectifier is used.

The transmitting link is brushes - sliding contacts. They carry control current from the voltage stabilizer. Due to the stabilizer, the generator creates a voltage of about 14 Volts, regardless of the engine speed. It is important that the regulator remains in good working order, otherwise optimal voltage parameters will not be maintained. In this case, the auto electrician may fail.

The temperature of the operating generator is reduced by fans. The device is attached to the brackets using four bolts. It can be seen if you open the hood. The mounting points are located on the covers.

Appearance of the generator for Priora

It is important to promptly identify problems with the power supply. The first symptoms are the flashing of the headlights and the appearance of a warning light on the dashboard. If the generator breaks down or fails completely, the battery quickly runs out of power. In this case, it is impossible to even start the engine. The car cannot move.

Principle of operation

When you turn the ignition on, current from the battery enters the field winding through the brush assembly, where a magnetic field appears. When the crankshaft rotates, the rotor goes into rotation. The magnetic field passes through the stator winding and an alternating voltage is generated at the output. Having reached a certain rotation speed, the excitation winding begins to be powered directly from the generator.

The alternating voltage is changed to constant thanks to the rectifier unit. Now the generator charges the battery and powers consumers. When the rotation speed changes, the voltage regulator is connected to the operation.

Basic faults

Why does the generator not charge the Lada Priora car? There may be several reasons:

the diode bridge is damaged;
the turns of the stator winding are closed;
slip rings wear out;
the pulley is damaged or worn out;
the wires of the charging circuit are damaged;
the bearing is destroyed or worn out;
the voltage regulator is damaged;
The current collecting brushes wear out.

In all of the above cases, repair of the Lada Priora generator will be required.

Symptoms of a problem

On automobile forums you can often see complaints from Lada owners with air conditioning about increased current. It is worth saying right away that the current cannot be increased - this applies to voltage. If the instruments show you that the current in the generator is too high, then you need to look for a problem in the relay. Electrical defects include burnout or wear of brushes, broken wiring and windings, damage to the regulator relay (increased current), and defects in the operation of the diode bridge. As for mechanical failures, these include worn springs and bearings, belt damage or damage to the housing.

Removing and installing the generator

For the owner of a vehicle manufactured by AvtoVAZ, which is equipped with air conditioning, the question of how to remove the generator from a Lada Priora car will be more difficult.

Tight installation of components and assemblies under the hood will complicate the procedure. Installation of a new unit is carried out in the reverse order of the removal procedure. After replacing, do not forget to tighten the timing belt.

How to remove a generator on a Priora with air conditioning:

Remove the protection on the engine.
We loosen the tension of the drive belt roller.
The upper mounting bolt can be easily unscrewed with a 13 mm socket wrench.
The bolts that hold the air conditioning compressor are unscrewed.
The Lada Priora alternator belt going to the compressor is being replaced.
The part should be moved slightly towards the battery. This will give you access to the bolt that secures the air conditioning compressor.
After unscrewing the last fastener, the compressor is hung. There is no need to fix it.
Now the bolts securing the part are unscrewed.
The terminals are disconnected and the alternator belt of a Lada Priora car with air conditioning is replaced.

Without air conditioning

Disconnect the terminals from the generator connectors.
Remove the drive belt. To do this, you need to loosen its tension.
Unscrew the generator bracket bolts. Top and then bottom. The bottom bolt is unscrewed from under the car.
We turn out the adjusting bolt.
Remove the bottom bar.
We remove the part.

Location and reasons for replacing the generator

In a Priora, the generator is located under the hood next to the cushion that holds the engine.

When a generator breaks down, an important fact must be taken into account. This device is not easy to repair given the complexity of the design. If the mechanism is assembled incorrectly, there is a risk of short circuiting and burning of the diode bridge, and, as a result, damage to the battery.

It is better to correct the situation by installing a new generator on the car. Replacement is not as difficult as a car service center might tell you. The whole process may take no more than an hour.

As noted, a lit battery light while the engine is running indicates various types of malfunctions. To find out for sure whether this is due to damage in the generator, you need to use a voltmeter.

When the engine is running, the electrical measuring device shows the voltage entering the battery. If the indicators on the display increase, it means that current from the generator is supplied to the battery, and it is working correctly. A drop in readings indicates a malfunction.

Sometimes the battery charge lamp does not light up, and electrical appliances work poorly. Therefore, additional signs of damage to the generator are:

extraneous sounds from the right side of the hood;
dim headlights;
The brightness of the optics changes.

Alternator bearings for Lada Priora: diagnostics, signs of malfunction and replacement

The following circumstances indicate the need to replace the bearing:

Malfunctions of electrical equipment;

Extraneous noises, whistling and humming when starting up;

Slow or insufficient battery charging;

Distinct beating due to uneven rotation of the shaft;

Diagnosis of the malfunction is carried out using the following steps:

We remove the belt.
We start the engine and listen carefully. If the extraneous sound disappears, it means the ball bearing was humming.
We move the pulley. If there is play, the bearing needs to be replaced.

What kind of bearing is needed

Depending on the year of manufacture of the car, the generator can be old or new. They differ in shaft diameter: the new one is 17 mm, and the old one is 15 mm.

For a 17 mm shaft, bearing No. 303 is suitable.
Bearing No. 302 is suitable for a 15 mm shaft.
They have the same rear bearing No.202.

Bearing replacement

For work you will need: Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, 8 and 10 wrenches, 8 and 24 socket wrenches, a hammer. First you will need to remove the generator of the Lada Priora car, and then follow the sequence:

Remove the voltage regulator.
Remove the generator cover and remove the stator from it.
Using a spanner, unscrew the nut holding the shaft from turning.
Remove the pulley with the spring washer of the generator rotor shaft.
Press the rotor shaft out of the bearing.
Remove the 4 screws holding the bearing thrust washer.
Using a 24mm socket wrench and a hammer, press in the bearing.

Reassemble the product in the reverse order, starting with pressing the new bearing into the generator cover.

Alternator belt - article price, how to tension

In stores you can find 2 types of belts for the Lada Priora 6rk1115 and 6rk1125. To avoid making the wrong choice, inspect the old belt to see if the size is still the same. If there is no size, take 2 belts, taking into account the possibility of returning one of them.

6р1115 — approximate price 242 rubles;
6р1125 — approximate price 345 rubles;

Replacing the Priora diode bridge without removing the generator unit

The diode bridge can often be the cause of generator malfunction, and replacement does not require removing this entire unit.

Replacing the Priora diode bridge without removing the generator unit

The procedure for replacing the diode bridge is simple:

Remove the negative terminal from the battery.
Remove the rubber cover and unscrew the power cable nut.
Unhook the control wire's Euro plug.
Remove the plastic cover.
Remove the regulator relay.
Unscrew the nuts holding the bridge.
We take out the part that needs to be replaced.
We reassemble in reverse order.

As you can see, replacing the diode bridge is not difficult, it can be done quite quickly. It is impractical to repair the bridge - it is better to replace it with a new one, since in the near future it will fail again.

With some skill, replacing the Lada Priora generator is not difficult. This will save you a budget and also give you invaluable experience in servicing your car yourself. This unit is quite reliable and does not require any intervention for a long time.

How to tension the alternator belt

When checking whether the belt is tensioned on a Priora car, keep in mind that marks are applied to the camshaft pulleys. Rotate the crankshaft until the marks on the camshaft pulleys coincide with the cutouts on the reverse side of the drive.

With normal timing tension, the protrusion of the inner sleeve of the tensioner pulley should coincide with the opening of the outer race. If the belt is in good condition and the marks do not match 1/2 of the reach width, the tension should be adjusted.

Loosen the bolt holding the tension roller.
Make sure the cutout of the roller aligns exactly with the protrusion on the back of the roller bushing.
Using wrench 15, tighten the tensioner pulley bolt.
Simply put, to tension the belt, the generator roller needs to be turned in the opposite direction clockwise.

What is the difference between removing a generator with and without air conditioning?

The main difference is in the sequence of actions. Removing a generator without air conditioning is carried out as follows:

We start by removing the battery from the minus terminal;
then we proceed to removing the generator drive belt;
Next, disconnect the block with the wire from the “D+” generator.
then you need to remove the rubber cover;
Next, we proceed to disconnect the wire from the contact pin;
then remove the nut from the lower mounting bolt of the device;
Next, remove the nut with sleeve;
then we pull out the bolt of the lower mounting of the generator;
then remove the tension bar by unscrewing the bolt;
remove the generator.

Reasons for replacing the belt on a Priora and how to change it

The serpentine belt of the Lada Priora 2170 generator with air conditioning has a size of 742 mm, without air conditioning with power steering - 1125 mm. It must be replaced every time after 60,000 km of the vehicle, or two years after its installation. When the timing belt wears out, the valves may meet the pistons, which will lead to engine repair. An unscheduled replacement of the alternator belt of a Lada Priora 16 valve car with air conditioning may be required in the following cases:

delamination or cracks of the rubber surface;
folds and cracks on the inner surface of the teeth;
delamination of the end surface;
traces of technical fluids on the surface of the belt;
prolonged operation of a tightened belt.

What signs will indicate that the generator brushes are faulty?

Uneven wear of these elements will certainly negatively affect the operation of the generator
, so experts recommend replacing them without fail.

The cost of new components for the Priora does not exceed 150 rubles; of course, you can also find cheaper brushes for the generator, but it is unlikely that such elements will serve faithfully for a long period of time, and such savings will lead to a repeated procedure for replacing these components.

will be done correctly, and the problem with charging the battery was precisely the wear of these components, then the car owner will solve this issue, and without the help of service station employees, which will save a lot of his own money savings. The replacement process itself is quite simple, but if difficulties arise during the work, you can watch the training video on the Internet resource at any time, which is provided by professionals, choosing the most suitable time for viewing.

Replacing the drive belt on a car with air conditioning

The replacement process looks a little different on a car with air conditioning.
VD40 is used to process engine mounts and part bracket bolts.
The right front wheel is removed or turned out.
The generator roller is unscrewed. The belt is moved to the side and the engine mount bolts are unscrewed.
The Lada Priora needs to be jacked up so as to hang the engine.
We replace the old belt with a new one.
We lift the car with a jack, the engine is lowered and you will be able to tighten all the bolts.

Signs of trouble

Other manifestations may indicate malfunctions of the energy generator, for example:

dim headlights/dashboard;

unstable lighting brightness;

blinking or lighting of the indicator lamp on the instrument panel.

It is worth considering that the generator is partly interdependent with the battery. The generator is responsible for the electricity; the battery functions as a backup battery, which operates only during certain periods: when the engine starts and to supply power to the electronics when the engine is turned off.

Problems with power supply and voltage drops make it clear to the motorist that it is time for maintenance.

How to change the alternator belt on a Lada Priora with your own hands: instructions with photos

Loosen the nut that secures the generator to the guide bar and move it towards the engine. Remove the old belt and put on the new one. Move the generator away from the engine and tighten the nut a little. Tighten the tension bolt and from time to time press the belt with one finger in the middle between the generator and crankshaft pulleys.

Remove the belt, then install a new one. Do not confuse the order in which the belt passes through the pulley and rollers. Install the tension roller and adjust the belt tension as described above.

The new version of Lada-Priora really attracted domestic car enthusiasts. But, like any other car, it needs timely service. For example, the Priora alternator belt must be changed after a certain mileage, and its condition must be checked regularly.

In versions with power steering or air conditioning, the belt is longer when compared with the regular version of the car. As a result, we will look at how the change occurs in the first and second cases on models 16 and 8 valves.

Car Lada Priora

This video shows the generator drive whistling.

The instructions that come with the car indicate that the alternator belt should be replaced every 60 thousand km. If the car is used infrequently, then replacement should be carried out every two years.

Do-it-yourself replacement work on a Priora without power steering (EUR) and air conditioning is more convenient to carry out in the inspection pit.

Tools

a set of keys;
fender liner removal device;
balloon wrench.

First, loosen the nut with a wrench of the appropriate size.
Unscrew the adjusting bolt.
We move the generator towards the power plant.
Remove the right front wheel.
We remove the fender liner and get access to the old belt.
We replace it with a new one and do not forget to tighten it.
Checking the tension. It should not be weak, but tightening it on a model with power steering (EUR) is also dangerous. The generator bearings may be the first to suffer.

Since the power steering pulley in this modification is at a low height, the creators ran the generator belt around the engine mount. This makes it a little more difficult to do the DIY change.

Tools

tension key;
a set of keys;
jack;
set of heads;
WD40 liquid.

Use WD40 to moisten the bolts that secure the motor mount and bracket.

After about a quarter of an hour, you can begin to unscrew the bracket nut. Let's jack up the wheel. Next, we place some object under the motor and remove the wheel. We lower the car a little. Unscrew the tension roller. Bend the belt. Now you can unscrew the bolts that secure the pillow. Read further: Which battery is suitable for Skoda cars, rules, elections and advice from a specialist with photos and videos These bolts need to be unscrewed

Next, we lower the car so that the engine begins to hang out. The cushion moves towards the motor. Move the pillow Now you can change it. Next, we lift the car with a jack so that the power unit lowers

We do this carefully so that the belt and pillow do not move. Tighten the bolts and nuts. We put on the wheel and lower the car.

At this point, work on the model with power steering can be considered completed.

The belt in Lada Priora is tensioned as follows:

The first step is to loosen the roller nut; to do this, the cage is held with a wrench.
We rotate the roller cage by rotating the key.
We tighten the roller nut.
The tension is checked on the longest section between the pulleys.
When pressed, the alternator belt should bend approximately 10 millimeters.
On a model with power steering, the tension should be a little tighter. You can also test it by ear. If the tension is insufficient, a whistle will be heard and you need to tighten it. If it is too much, you will hear the hum of the bearings and the tightening will need to be loosened.

Roller key

The work is not difficult, but a little troublesome due to the need to dismantle some components in models with power steering and air conditioning with your own hands, but it is doable even for a novice car enthusiast. But calculate how much such work costs at a service station and whether it would be better to use this money for other purposes.

Algorithm for removing the generator

In any configuration, it is initially necessary to prevent the flow of electricity. To do this, disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.

Next, perform actions in the following sequence:

remove the generator drive belt;
remove the rubber cover, which is secured with a nut;
remove the connection wires with the contact pin;
unscrew the lower fastening nut;
remove the nut with sleeve;
remove the lower fastening bolt;
remove the bolt and remove the tension bar.

The generator can be removed. Reinstalling the unit is carried out in reverse order.

The hydraulic booster on the Lada does not prevent the generator from being removed through the lower protection or through the headlight; it depends on the specific model.

Additionally, we recommend reading the article by our specialist, which describes in detail the VAZ-2106 generator.

We also recommend reading our expert’s interesting article on how to remove the generator on a VAZ-2114.

If there is a need to remove the pulley, first remove the generator drive belt and loosen the radiator mounting bolts. Next, the adjustment bolt is unscrewed and the fastening nuts are removed directly. When removing the mounting bolt, it is necessary to support the generator; after removing the bolt, you can remove the pulley.

Repair work

Replacing a Lada Priora generator with air conditioning

If you need to replace a Priora generator with air conditioning, then there are two nuances that lie in the manufacturer of the air conditioner. Panasonic allows you to remove the unit without a compressor, but the Hull compressor will not allow you to get the generator.

Removing the generator from a Lada Priora with air conditioning step by step:

remove engine protection;
if necessary, remove the ridge belt of the compressor drive;
access to the generator contacts that need to be disconnected is opened;
unscrew the engine compartment mount and remove the bolt;
if the above steps allow you to remove the compressor, it must be moved down and to the right;
remove the bolt and bushing;
remove the generator from the bottom plane of the engine.

If the bolt cannot be removed, there are two options:

Cut the bolt with a grinder and then install a new one.
Raise the engine with a jack, remove the cushion, remove the bolt.

During subsequent fastening, screw the bolt with the head outward to prevent such difficulties.

We recommend that you further study our expert’s article, which talks about how to remove a headlight on a Priora.

If you are sure that the problem is caused by wear of the carbon brushes, then you can change them without removing the generator. It is worth noting that generators on Priors have a non-repairable brush mechanism, that is, this part is completely replaced when the brushes wear out.

Replacing generator brushes

Step-by-step process - replacing the Priora generator brushes without removing the generator:

remove the negative terminal;
remove the power wire going to the generator;
remove the plastic casing;
unscrew the fastening mechanisms holding the brushes;
install a new spare part and connect the wires.

It is recommended to check with a voltmeter whether the charging process is in progress and what is displayed on the panel. If the indicators correspond to each other, you can install the remaining parts in place.

How to remove a generator from a Priora without removing the air conditioner in the absence of an overpass

Taking into account the technical features of the location of mounted units, including the generator, sometimes it is impossible to do without a pit or overpass. But there is an option to remove the dynamo not from below, but through the headlight. This option is convenient to use for models with air conditioning.

Removal steps:

unscrew the plastic protection above the headlight;
loosen the bumper mounting nuts from below;
completely unscrew the fastenings from the wing;
unscrew all headlight mounting bolts;
disconnect power;
remove the headlight;
disconnect the adsorber clips and remove it;
loosen the tension roller of the generator belt;
move the air filter aside;
unscrew the generator mounting bolts;
disconnect the wires;
remove the generator.

If you do not have experience in disassembling, removing units and replacing elements, then it is better to enlist the support of specialists or contact a VAZ service workshop.

In the absence of experience, there is a possibility of damage to air conditioner elements or, as often happens, poor-quality fastening of parts, which is confirmed by excess bolts and nuts remaining after repairs.

Preparation and necessary tools

It is more convenient to remove the generator on a Lada Priora on an overpass or inspection hole. Before you begin dismantling, prepare the following tools:

locksmith's crank;
extension;
cardan from the tool kit;
heads for 10, 12, 13, 17;
spanners for 10, 12, 13, 17.
WD-40 product.

When driving onto a pit or overpass, do not forget to install chocks under the wheels so that the car does not roll spontaneously. Then disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. Apply WD-40 to the mounting areas of the generator and air conditioning compressor. Wait 10-15 minutes for the product to take effect.

How to remove a generator on a Lada without air conditioning

If you do not have additional equipment installed, replacing the Priora 16 valve generator will be a little easier, since there will be more space under the hood.

Remove the negative terminal from the battery.
Remove the protection from the engine.
Unscrew the nut on the belt tensioner (not completely, a maximum of four turns). Now you can turn it around by turning the screw a little. When it is loose enough, you can remove it.
Remove the protective cap to later remove the terminal from the wiring harness. Now you can remove the wiring block.
Remove the nut to remove the top mounting bolt, then do the same with the bottom mounting bolt.
Remove the belt and then the entire generator.
