Self-installation of euro handles on a VAZ 2115

Replacing the outer door handle of VAZ 2114 and 2115

The design of external door handles on VAZ 2113, 2114 and 2115 cars is quite reliable if we consider the old-style handles. But there are often problems with new, so-called Euro pens. But in this article we will look at the replacement of external handles using the example of old-style cars.

In order to make this repair yourself, you will need the following type of tool:

• 8 mm head
• extension
• ratchet handle or crank
• screwdriver short flat

Removing and installing the outer door handle on VAZ 2113, 2114 and 2115

The first step is to remove the door trim. After this, access to the lock mechanism and its rods from the inside opens.

Now unscrew one nut securing the handle from the inside, as shown in the photo below.

The second nut is located on the outside:

From the outside, move the handle slightly to the side, as shown clearly:

And then it is necessary to disconnect the two rods from the handle mechanism of the VAZ 2114-2115 from the inside. This can be done using a flat screwdriver, and the shorter it is, the more convenient it all is.

The rods are hinged, so you will have to apply moderate force to disconnect them from the lock mechanism. After which you can finally remove the handle and replace it with a new one.

It is worth noting that the price of a new factory handle for the front doors is around 300 rubles, but the rear ones can be bought a little cheaper - from 200 rubles apiece. Installation occurs in the reverse order of removal.

The second stage is assembly!

1. Before installing the Euro handle in the VAZ 2115 door, you need to remove the lock along with the cylinder from the old handle. To do this, remove the rod that is attached to the cylinder, then carefully remove the retaining ring of the cylinder along with the spring. We install the key in the keyhole and pull it towards ourselves along with the cylinder.
2. We clean and lubricate the mechanism, as well as all rods and connections, after which we install the rubber gasket that comes with the Euro handle and begin assembly.

1. Before final assembly, we check how the handle and lock work, making sure that everything is assembled correctly and works as it should.
2. We attach the handle to the bolts and assemble everything in the reverse order.

As you can see, installing Euro handles on a “tag” is a fairly simple task that any “home” craftsman can do. By installing Euro handles “Lynx” on a VAZ 2115, they can improve the appearance of the car and also make opening doors more pleasant.

Handle selection

General view of external door handles

Choosing a pen is quite simple, if you don’t take Euro pens. All spare parts of this nature are produced only by the manufacturer, or rather AvtoVAZ. So, let's look at the articles:

• 2109-6105180 – original catalog number of the inner door handle.
• 2108-6105177 – article number of the outer door handle.

Causes of malfunction

There can be several reasons for a door handle malfunction. So, the motorist himself can damage the element during operation, or outsiders can do it. Let's consider the main reasons why the product will have to be removed:

• Road accident . This is perhaps the most common reason. So, damage to the door will be a reason to remove the door handle. Also, damage to the external element can lead to such actions.
• Handle breakage due to wear . Usually, this is a breakdown of the plastic part, a break due to frequent opening or excessive pressure using brute force.
• Actions of third parties that led to the breakdown of the element.

Quality checking

Whether it be Lynx or European pens from another manufacturer, you definitely need to make sure of the quality of the products offered to you. There are some useful tips for this.

1. Buy directly from good stores rather than ordering online. Today it is important to order many spare parts online. But the problem is that you won't be able to see or touch them until delivery. If we are talking about online ordering, check the reliability of this online store, read reviews about it, study the nuances of delivery and payment. The best option is to pay the courier on the spot. This way you can first look at the handles, and only then, if everything is good, pay for the order. Well, when you are in a regular store, there will be nothing difficult in studying spare parts in detail.
2. Package. Surprisingly, it is important to pay attention to the packaging. Factory products must have barcodes, certificate marks, full instructions, a warranty, and so on.
3. Content. If each pen is packaged in a separate bag, this indicates a responsible approach by the manufacturer. After all, the transportation process takes a lot of time, and you yourself know the quality of our roads. Constant shaking leads to friction between parts, which leads to scratches and damage. Separate packaging will prevent this from happening.
4. Instructions. Good manufacturers provide detailed instructions for installing them along with Euro handles. There is nothing complicated about this, but the very fact of the presence of this instruction already speaks volumes.
5. Quality. Alas, it cannot always be determined visually. Nowadays low-grade materials are so skillfully disguised that only laboratory tests can help you in some cases. As for European pens specifically, the best guarantee of quality is purchasing products from a trusted manufacturer. Such as Lynx, for example.

Varieties

The Lynx Euro pens have a factory designation, which determines the differences between the sets.

• IN 1. This designation indicates that the package contains four handles - two rear and two front. In this case, the front larvae do not have.
• AT 2. There are also four handles, a pair for the rear and front doors. Only here the larvae are present.

Which one should I choose? The question is purely individual. On the one hand, B1 have a solid, smooth structure that is not spoiled by key holes. For external tuning they are simply perfect.

The second option is preferable for those who value quality, visual appeal, but at the same time reliability. After all, the presence of a cylinder will give you the opportunity to open the car with a key if problems arise with the alarm or key fob.

Causes of malfunction

If the product begins to work incorrectly, the part must be repaired or replaced. Sometimes it is enough to carry out preventive actions to avoid a malfunction. Car enthusiasts tighten the bolts of the internal mechanism, lubricate or adjust individual elements. In any option, disassembly of the door is provided to gain access to the metal of the body. Reasons for dismantling:

1. Defects found: scratches, abrasions, chips, microcracks.
2. Required tightening of fasteners.
3. It takes force to open the door. Insufficient adhesion to the body part was noticed.
4. Adjustment required.
5. There was a breakdown inside: the hardware came off, a gap appeared between the door and the handle, and the device began to wobble.
6. Mechanical damage was detected.
7. An intruder tried to open the car.
8. Due to improper operation of the handle, the door does not close properly.
9. The external manipulator is damaged.
10. The body was deformed as a result of the accident.

If the cause of the breakdown is related to an accident, then preventive repairs will not help. The handle consists mainly of plastic. The material is durable, but not strong enough to withstand a strong blow.

When replacing an element, it is best to install a Euro handle. Once they were made only for foreign cars, but now they are available for domestic cars.

Preparatory stage

For repairs, a repair kit is purchased; it will cost around 800 rubles. It includes hardware, tools, an internal door handle for VAZ 2114, but the price may vary, it mainly depends on the manufacturer. Additionally, rods are purchased, equipment and premises are prepared. Tools:

• Phillips screwdriver;
• socket wrench;
• hardware;
• Silicone Grease;
• rags.

If you need products individually, it is better to contact a small car dealership. When purchasing, it is important to explain which door the part is needed for: rear or front, left or right.

The process of replacing the internal handle on a VAZ-2114

If the driver's door is being dismantled, it is important to take into account the presence of a central lock. The internal fragments are connected to the outer handle. In the event of a breakdown, the latch is changed, the procedure is carried out from the salon. Algorithm:

1. The plugs are removed.
2. The external bolts are unscrewed.
3. The cover is removed.
4. The panel clips are unfastened.
5. The casing extends.
6. Electrical wiring is disconnected.
7. The handle extends.
8. The panel is released.
9. The internal screw under the handle is unscrewed.
10. The euro handle is removed.

Now you can inspect the device, clean internal parts, repair or replace. Even a new mechanism must be lubricated with silicone.

Assembly is carried out according to the reverse scheme: fastening with internal hardware, connecting wires, returning the cladding, tightening external fasteners.

Adjusting the front or rear door

Setting up door cards is carried out in several stages. Experienced drivers take a comprehensive approach; they check gaps, re-adjust hinges, and inspect the locking and manual mechanism. There are several options for customizing the doors:

1. Use a wrench to loosen the internal hinge screws. Tapping with a hammer is carried out so that the structure moves to the desired position. Then the fasteners are tightened back.
2. To even out the gap, the hinge mechanism is also loosened in two places: top and bottom. The door needs to be raised/lowered by adjusting the height.
3. The curvature of the metal can only be corrected by straightening.
4. Adjusting the lock involves loosening the latch, then moving it up/down.
5. The handle is being disassembled. If the internal screws are deformed, they are replaced.

When the door is in the correct position, the mounting bolts are tightened with a wrench. Then the functionality of the device is checked again.

Changing the outer handle

To dismantle and install a new device, you will need the same set of tools. No drilling instructions:

1. The interior euro handle unwinds. The cladding panel is dismantled.
2. The handle nut is removed, then the fastener holding the external object.
3. The thrust rods and seals are removed from the closing mechanism.
4. The handle is removed from the door opening. To do this, remove the nut and pull the handle to the side.
5. The door niche and openings are cleaned of dust and dirt. Metal parts are treated with anti-corrosion agent and silicone.

Assembly is carried out in the reverse order: the product is inserted, the nut and bolts are fixed. It is important to ensure that the hardware is securely tightened.

Before assembling the decorative panel, it is recommended to check the functionality of the device. If there are any shortcomings, the mechanism is refined and adjusted.

• The door trim is removed. This is a rather lengthy task that can take up the most time among all other processes. Don’t forget, the casing still needs to be put in place later.
• There is no need to drill, saw or cook anything. The only exceptions are those Euro handles that are not intended for the VAZ 2114. They are adjusted, something is cut out. Complex and sometimes pointless tuning. Today there are many excellent Euro handles that fit perfectly on the “fourteenth” model without unnecessary manipulations during the installation process.
• Each new part is installed in place of the standard one.
• It is advisable to arm yourself with additional fasteners for the trim in advance, since an inexperienced car owner can damage them during disassembly or reinstallation. They are cheap, but can come in handy at any time when replacing Euro pens.
• After removing the old handles, be sure to clean the socket and treat the surfaces with polish. After this, proceed to install new elements. There is nothing complicated there if you remember the dismantling process well.
• The penultimate stage is reassembly.
• The process of installing Euro handles on a VAZ 2114 is completed by cleaning new accessories and putting things in order inside and outside the car.

How to install Euro handles “Lynx” on a VAZ 2115?

1. The first step is to remove the door trim; underneath there are rods and handle fasteners that we need to replace. To do this, unscrew the screws holding the “pocket” and turn off the power to the speaker and power window buttons.
2. Next, we pry up the plastic cover of the door handle and remove it in order to unscrew the screws securing the handle and door card.
3. Then we pry up the plastic body of the handle that opens the door and take it out.
4. Remove the plastic trim for adjusting the rear view mirror, then carefully pry up the door card and remove it.

1. Now you can remove the rods. I’ll say right away that many people have a lot of difficulties with this, since the space inside the doors is limited and working there is not entirely convenient, but if you get used to it, you can deal with it quite quickly. Using a screwdriver, pry up the plastic tips and remove the rods that do not allow the handle to come out.

So, we'll start by removing the door card. To do this, unscrew the pin that closes the door from the inside. Next, we take out the plugs from the door handle and unscrew the bolts that secure the handle.

Now, perhaps, the most difficult thing that will have to be done, and at this stage many people have a question about how to remove the window lifter handle of the VAZ 2109, 2114. To do this, take a thin, narrow minus screwdriver. We insert it between the latch and the washer and carefully press out the jammed handle latch. Next, pull it towards you and take it out completely.

I hope the photo makes everything clearer.

We unscrew the bolts securing the door card from the bottom (if you have a VAZ 2114 with electric windows, then unhook the pads from the window buttons) and take out the rubber seal from the top. Remove the decorative trim of the interior door handle by prying it off with a screwdriver or knife. Now nothing prevents us from removing the door trim and pulling it out from the bedbugs.

We pull out the rods coming from the handle lock and from the handle itself. It is more convenient to do this by grasping the plastic part of the rod with pliers. Or you can try to pry them off with a screwdriver.

The handle is held on by two nuts. We unscrew them and pull out the handle.

What are Euro pens

Factory door handles for the VAZ 2114 are not particularly convenient or beautiful in design. Euro pens are an excellent replacement for them. They are called that because the idea of ​​design and operating principle was taken from Western automakers. Such handles have long been used on many cars of European brands.

Opening the door with their help is very simple; you do not need to press the lever under the handle, as with the factory solution. To open, just pull the handle itself and the mechanism will work, after which it will return to its original position.

This principle of operation allows the Euro pens 2114 to look quite attractive and minimalistic. They do not have any protruding elements, buttons that need to be pressed or levers that need to be pulled. The lock cylinder is installed in the handle (in VAZ 2114 euro handles for front doors) and that’s it, the rest of the mechanism is hidden and cannot be detected at first glance.

Most often, car enthusiasts prefer Euro handles for the VAZ 2114 Lynx. Compared to other kits, they are painted in body color, have a fairly nice appearance and are quite reliable. The mechanism itself has been working without problems for more than three years, but the paint on them is susceptible to high-pressure washing and loses ground earlier, with frequent washing.

But in general, the manufacturing quality of these handles is very high and even higher than that of the factory version. Often, the installation of Euro handles on a VAZ 2114 is carried out after the standard ones have broken down.

Also, Euro pens “Lynx” can be presented in two sets to choose from, marked B1 and B2, they mean the following:

1. B1 – in this kit the front handles do not have key lock cylinders.
2. B2 – in a box with this marking, the front handles are with larvae.

Everyone makes the choice between them themselves, someone needs the most beautiful appearance, then your choice is box B1, the absence of lock cylinders gives a cleaner bow, there is no pit and no shiny metal part, to which the eye immediately clings.

B2 provides greater reliability, if suddenly something happens to the car alarm or the battery runs out, access to the car can be obtained using the key, unlike the B1 version, where in this case you will have to climb into the car through the trunk.
