Many owners of the VAZ 2109 and other five-door Samaras have noticed that over time, knocking and extraneous noise appear in the rear of the car. It is especially noticeable on bumps or when driving along uneven sections of the road. It is mainly mistaken for the knock of worn shock absorbers or broken silent blocks of the rear beam. In reality, the problem lies in an unadjusted or incorrectly adjusted rear door lock. The simplest thing you can do is tighten the fastening bolts more tightly, or remove the adjusting washers from the bottom of the fastener loop. It is advisable to tighten the lock itself tightly with bolts to the body and move it back as much as possible, thereby allowing the lock loop to press more tightly against the lock. In this matter, the main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise the lock will not close, or it will, but after a strong slam of the door. We select the position of the latch in which the door will close tightly when you press the closed door (without the need to slam the door).
A second, but no less important role is played by rubber bumpers, or door buffers. We simply unscrew the buffer until the doors, when closed, are aligned with the line of the car body. We also check the condition of the door seal. If everything is done correctly, the knocking and noise should disappear.
Often a door noise occurs when a pin that prevents the door from moving horizontally breaks off. Over time, the retainer bushing wears out, which is not repairable, and since the retainer bar costs around 60 rubles, there is no need to bother, we just change it completely.
If you did everything according to the instructions and the knocking still persists, then I’m afraid to upset you, but your lock and latch are critically worn. An example of a completely worn lock is visible in the photo below.
In this situation, there is only one way out - replacing the lock. Be careful, beware of fakes, the price of a quality product should not be lower than 600 rubles, since a good lock is made of hardened metal and covered with chrome. Counterfeits are easy to recognize by their inconspicuous appearance, poor processing and often lack of packaging. In particular, good locks for VAZs are produced by the DAAZ company, and they look like this:
After repair or replacement, I recommend securing all fastening points with additional nuts, or placing them on a thread locker.
How to adjust the trunk lock on a VAZ 2112, 2110, 2111
- Loosen the lock nuts.
- Remove the protection cover from the lock.
- Move the lock in the required direction and tighten the screws.
- Now we check whether the lock can be easily slammed.
- If necessary, the adjustment process can be repeated again. But if the lock closes well, tighten the fastening bolts.
If the lock on the body does not fit into the lock on the lid when closing, then loosen the bolts securing it and move it in the required direction, after which we tighten the bolts back.
Chassis
Improving the car's chassis involves tuning the suspension and refining the braking system. The transmission and engine of the VAZ 2109 are also undergoing changes.
Engine
Engine tuning is aimed at increasing the power of the power unit. Refinement of the engine consists of improving the cylinder head, replacing pistons, and installing a turbine. When performing these modifications, the driver will need to completely disassemble the vehicle engine.
Changes in the engine design give the car additional power. However, in order for the car to be used, all modifications made must be registered with the traffic police.
When tuning a carburetor, instead of one part, install two and grind the carburetor intake manifold.
Suspension
Tuning the VAZ 2109 suspension is aimed at increasing its rigidity, for this:
- The parts are being replaced with more modern ones. For example, by purchasing a gas-oil shock absorber from a well-known manufacturer, the driver will improve the functioning of the rear and front suspension.
- Installation of elements that provide additional rigidity to the suspension. These may be stiffer springs from other models.
- Installation of a pneumatic mechanism that allows you to independently adjust the car's ground clearance. The installation process of such a system is labor-intensive and expensive.
How to adjust the latch and replace the trunk lock on a VAZ 21099, VAZ 2109, VAZ 2108 Removal
- First, remove the lock from the trunk lid. We unscrew the two nuts with which the lock is attached to the lid.
- Next we remove the lock itself.
- From here we remove a small spring and check its condition. If the spring is heavily compressed or skewed, we replace it with a new one.
- After this, we remove the button with the cylinder from the inside of the trunk lid and check the condition of the button in the same way. If, when pressed, the button slows down or is not working at all, then we also replace it with a new one.
Attention! On the VAZ 21099 car, the lid lock cannot be disassembled, and therefore there is no need to try to repair it. In case of defect or malfunction, we replace it with a new one.
How to pull out body parts of a nine with your own hands
Do-it-yourself tuning of the VAZ 2106 interior
Photo of how to stretch the body of a VAZ 2109
In conclusion of the article I would like to dwell on such a point as body deformation. If the “nine” has any deformed part of the body, then there can be no talk of any tuning until restoration is carried out.
As a rule, complete restoration of the body and elimination of deformations is carried out on a special machine. It's called a slipway. This is professional equipment on which only an experienced and knowledgeable specialist can carry out procedures.
As for restoring the body at home, it must be borne in mind that such an operation is possible only for minor components. Thus, massive body elements, such as a spar or a beam, cannot be pulled out without a slipway. But you can successfully deal with a dented threshold or fender on your own in your garage.
The algorithm for carrying out the work is not very complicated:
- The car is placed on the handbrake, stops are placed under the wheels;
- One of the ends of the cable is tied to a monolithic support, for example, to a large and strong tree;
- The other end is tied to the body part;
- By winding a metal rod around the cable, it becomes possible to gradually tighten the cable.
When carrying out this work, we must remember that accuracy is extremely important here. So, with strong dents, it is better not to rush, but to tighten the cable little by little, leaving the metal under tension for some time. Thus, the metal is given a kind of “breathing space” necessary to withstand further stretching.
Body leveling installation
Simultaneously with stretching on the cable, it is recommended to treat the surface with straightening hammers on the back side of the part where the dent is. You need to hit not the metal, but the plank carefully placed in this place.
What did we learn from the article? The body of the “nine”, in principle, has good design features, but for its further trouble-free operation it is recommended to strengthen it. The photo materials and video review presented above will help consolidate the material presented in the article.
Adjusting the latch and replacing the trunk lock on a VAZ 21099:
Removal: 1) First, to remove the lock from the trunk lid, use a wrench or an extension with a head cap to unscrew the two nuts that secure the lock to the trunk lid.
2) Once the retaining nuts are removed, remove the inner lock from the cover by hand.
3) Next, remove the small spring from the same place and check its condition.
Note! If the spring suddenly becomes too compressed or skewed, replace it with a new one!
4) And then from the inside of the trunk lid, remove the button with the cylinder and check the condition of the button in the same way.
Note! Replace the lock button that is not working and also slows down when pressed with a new one!
Note! The trunk lid lock of the VAZ 21099 car is not dismountable, so do not try to repair it or do anything with it. If the lock is in a defective condition and is faulty, then it must be replaced with a new one!
1) First, put the entire system back together. That is, if you previously removed the button with the cylinder and a small spring, then install them in their places in the reverse order of removal.
2) Next, take the new lock in your hands and install it in its place, still tightening it with the same fastening nuts.
3) After installation, try closing and opening the trunk lid. If, when closing the lid, the trunk lock suddenly does not fit into the hole in the latch, usually in this case a distinct knock is heard in the area of the lock, and the lid closes very poorly, in this case:

Instead of a corner, it was possible to leave the frame from the rear window wiper drive, which perfectly matches the holes and the corner. I also installed a Kalino lock, forgot about the problems of sudden opening while moving, and it closes like in a refrigerator)
no) for me the corner is more reliable) compare the thickness of the corner and this “Foil”
Well, as they say, taste and color) but it doesn’t let me down even with the original frame) Did you pull the wires separately to the drive?
And I took the easy route, pulled out the wire from the steering column switch that goes to the wiper, and that’s it)
As I understand it, there is no way to save the larva with the Kalino-lock? Well, in the sense that you can’t open it with the key anyway? I would like to have a button and be able to open it with the key.
and now the question... the doors are on the central locking, the trunk is without a cylinder and also with a button... how to open the car if the battery is dead?
