The UAZ Bukhanka engine is a serial power unit designed for installation on vehicles manufactured by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant. Throughout the history of the production of the Loaf, a number of motors produced by ZMZ and UMP were installed on it.
Specifications
The UAZ "Loaf" engine (the second name is "Tablet") for the entire period had a significant number of power units in its arsenal. Most of them had high technical performance and were quite reliable, for which they fell in love with motorists.
So, consider, specifications power plants with which the "Loaf" was equipped:
UMP 417 and its modifications
ZMZ 409 and its modifications
UMP 421 and its modifications
ZMZ 402 carburetor
ZMZ 402 injector
Service
Maintenance of all types of power units for the "Loaf" is given in the same way. All these engines were developed on the basis of the legendary ZMZ 402, and therefore the maintenance for them is approximately the same.
- 1000 km: change oil and oil filter.
- 8000 km: change oil, oil and air filter, spark plugs, high-voltage wires, filter fine cleaning fuel.
- 17,000 km: change of oil, oil filter, fuel filter.
- 25,000 km: replacement of oil, oil and air filters, spark plugs, high-voltage wires, fine fuel filter, valve adjustment.
- 35,000 km: change of oil, oil filter, fuel filter, replacement of the timing belt and generator.
- 45,000 km and subsequent: oil and oil filter change. Every 20,000 km changes - fuel and air filter, valves are regulated. Every 40,000 km - the timing belt is replaced or every 60,000 a chain is changed.
For representatives of UMP 417 and 421, engine maintenance is carried out in almost the same way. service maintenance held every 15,000 km. This includes changing the oil and filter. To change the oil, you have to unscrew drain plug and wait for it to run away lubricating fluid... Then, the plug is screwed on and oil is poured through the filler neck. Oil filter changes when there is no oil in the motor.
also in Maintenance includes a check of all systems, the absence of oil leaks and malfunctions. Valves need to be adjusted every 30,000 km, and the air filter element must be replaced every 20,000 km.
Malfunctions and repairs
The main malfunctions of the "Loaf" engine. Consider what are the main problems motorists will have to face during the operation of the UMP-th and ZMZ-th power units:
- The main problem becomes - stuffing box packing, which is installed instead of the rear oil seal crankshaft... Often, a leak begins from under the part, due to the softening of the product.
- An unfinished injection design makes an uneven fuel injection, because of this, they often disappear idle speed, and vibration appears.
- Frequent valve train adjustments. If you do not carry out the process on time, namely after 15,000 km of run, then a metallic knock appears in the engine.
- Perpetual thermostat problems and overheating. This problem can be solved in two ways. First, install a quality imported product. The second way is to bring the thermostat out of the block and install it from the VAZ "Classics".
Repair of the UAZ engine is carried out by analogy with the ZMZ 402, since it is a constructive copy.
The motor is quite easy to repair, even in the worst technical condition. So, the bulkhead of the power unit, the head of the block and the replacement of consumables are being carried out. The repair process itself is carried out in stages, as for any power unit.
Output
Engines UAZ "Bukhanka" - power units production of Zavolzhsky and Ulyanovsky motor factories... The motors showed themselves with better side... All of them are designed and modified on the basis of ZMZ 402.
UAZ Loaf is vehicle with maximum permeability. Some motorists affectionately refer to transport as "Tablet". The car also has an official name - UAZ 452. The vehicle has wheel formula 4x4, two axles, four-wheel drive, is intended for both cargo and passenger trains. The UAZ model was first produced in Ulyanovsk at a machine-building plant in 1957. The vehicle has two types:
- Body UAZ. It is also called "wagon".
- UAZ 452 onboard. It is also called "tadpole".
The body of the car has single-leaf doors. The rear door of the UAZ 452 car consists of two leaves. Naturally, the location of the doors may differ depending on the UAZ model (for example, the UAZ 452a is a horizontal version).
- The car is versatile.
- UAZ Loaf has good cross-country ability.
- A driver, 10 passengers, a ton of cargo can be accommodated in a vehicle at a time. This speaks of the extremely advantageous spaciousness of the car's interior.
- The driver's compartment is separated from the passenger compartment by glass. But the carriage version of the UAZ is not excluded if the transport model is more modern and new.
- A table with a heating element can be installed in the salon.
- The salon can be transformed. For example, cut through a hatch (an example is Loaf 3962).
- It is an ideal vehicle for fishing, hunting, outdoor recreation.
The history of "Loaf": a description of the important stages
In 1955, only the projection of the UAZ began at the Ulyanovsk Machine-Building Plant. It was calculated to create a vehicle with a carrying capacity of 800 kg. The GAZ-69 was used as a chassis. Problems arose in the design. The GAZA-69 chassis turned out to be short, it was simply unfeasible to place almost a ton of cargo on it. A car body layout was required. The developers have designed two types of UAZA:
- a truck with a body made of wood;
- van made entirely of metal.
On the upper part of the UAZ 452 Loaf vehicle, several transverse stiffeners were made. The car was associated with a loaf of bread. The vehicle immediately found a simple name for itself - "Loaf". In 1958 the vehicle was approved and serial production began.
The first cars of this configuration had a different number - 450. They were equipped with an engine from GAZ-69, had a gearbox consisting of three stages. There was and transfer case... It consisted of 2 stages. This is how the first one graduated new transport in the Soviet Union, in which the driver's cab was located directly above the engine. The first "Loaf" had a four-wheel drive.
In 1961 g. new model UAZ began to improve. Its next modification appeared - UAZ-451. The car had rear drive... Another difference was the presence of a side door on the van. 1965 was marked by a major change in the design of this vehicle. First, the UAZ engine changed. It was replaced by GAZ-21. The gearbox has been improved and acquired 4 gears. The front of the car has also been upgraded. The vehicle has acquired a new name - UAZ-452D. It was considered a flatbed truck.
An ambulance van appeared. Its name sounded like UAZ-452 A. It should be noted that an ordinary van "Loafs" quickly got the number UAZ-452. By that time, the developers had designed a new vehicle. Today the information is officially confirmed and indicates that it was a minibus with the UAZ-452V index.
The rear-wheel drive version of the UAZ has also been improved. Its index has not undergone any changes, only the letter "M" has been added to it. The developers have increased the carrying capacity of UAZs to a ton (for example, UAZ 452v). 1966 was marked by the awarding of the vehicle with the UAZ-452D index. "Loaf" was delivered to the exhibition in Moscow, where it received gold medal... In the same year, the machine-building plant in Ulyanovsk was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.
The development of the plant progressed very actively, and in 1974 the plant produced the millionth UAZ. In 1976, the machine-building plant again received the Order of the Red Banner (in particular, the UAZ 452v model was noted). Innovations in the structure of the car were not noticed until 1985. Only then did the vehicle indices of the machine-building plant begin to change.
Characteristics of UAZ: technical properties, diagram and parameters
Technical characteristics of the vehicle UAZ-452:
- The weight of the transported cargo is 700 kg.
- The weight of the transported cargo in cargo hold ranges from 400 kg to 1 ton.

- Gasoline consumption is 13-18 liters per 100 km.
- The machine has 4 cylinders.
- The volume of the working UAZ 452 is 2.89 liters.
Modifications of the "Tablet" and their distinctive features
Vehicle modifications are distinguished by letter symbols. UAZ-452 is the main vehicle type assigned to the van. At that time, she gained immense popularity and demand among the population of the Russian Federation.
UAZ-452A is a medical vehicle. Among the people, it is called "Tablet". Otherwise, the car is called "UAZ - nurse". The vehicle has 4 stretchers and can accommodate 6 casualties and one accompanying medical worker.
UAZ-452A does not provide for comfortable conditions. But this is only the only UAZ model that could get to distant villages and provide medical assistance... UAZ-452A has a classic old version of the suspension. In the old days, a car of such a modification as the beloved and revered UAZ-452A could be found quite often on Soviet roads. This is the option that could be purchased at an affordable price.
UAZ-452AS refers to ambulance vehicles. The considered vehicle model is made in the direction of the northern version. UAZ-452AE is a chassis. It is designed to be installed different kind equipment. UAZ-452V - minibus. The bus has 10 seats for passengers. The wagon layout is present in the UAZ-452 V. 
UAZ-452D - freight transport... The UAZ cab has 2 seats. The body is made of wood. UAZ-452G is a vehicle designed for sanitary purposes. Has a large capacity.
UAZ-452K is a bus-type vehicle. It consisted of three 6x4 axles. It should be emphasized that the UAZ-452K vehicle is designed for 16 seats. It is made according to experimental technologies. The year of production of the UAZ-452K model under consideration is 1973. But the design of the vehicle turned out to be complicated, gasoline consumption increased, the weight of the car increased. UAZ-452K did not come out in mass production... UAZ-452P is a truck tractor.
UAZ-452 - four-wheel drive utility vehicle off-road, which was mass-produced by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant from 1965 to 1985. In popular use, this car was nicknamed "tadpole" (flatbed truck); "Loaf" (van and minibus), "tablet" (minibus - "nurse"). The history of the car did not end either in the 80s, or in the 90s, or even in the 2000s. Having received several upgrades and new factory indexes: "2206, 3741, 3909, 3962", "Loaf" continues to be produced now.
Over the past couple of decades, "Loaf" has already been "retired" many times. However, the demand for an unpretentious, cheap, universal and, most importantly, an all-passable car in the vastness of our Motherland, especially in the outback, is so great that the decision to continue the production of cars of the UAZ passenger-and-freight family was made again and again. As a result, the UAZ-452, together with its subsequent modifications, became the record holder - the oldest Soviet / Russian car in terms of the number of years of serial production.
UAZ-452: features and history of the model
The predecessor of the UAZ-452, on the design of which specialists relied Ulyanovsk plant when developing a new model, there was a classic Soviet SUV GAZ-69. The universal version of this car was equipped with an eight-seat body with two side doors and a tailgate. Three-seater lifting benches were installed along the side boards. It was envisaged to mount a stretcher for transporting the wounded, the car was equipped with a towing device.
At the end of the 50s of the twentieth century, the designers were given the task: on the basis of the GAZ-69 to create a larger and more lifting universal cargo-passenger chassis, for the serial production of both flatbed trucks and all-metal vans of the "carriage" layout. Both the one and the other version had to have good maneuverability.
There was already a successful experience in Ulyanovsk: by this time, new UAZ-300 and UAZ-302 vehicles had passed road tests. These gasoline trucks equipped with a 50-horsepower engine from "Pobeda" and a four-speed gearbox were the original development of the famous "lorry".
By 1958, on the lengthened base and chassis of the GAZ-69, using the main components of this SUV, were built, tested and put into production four-wheel drive vehicles series UAZ-450. They appeared in three versions: van, ambulance and a flatbed truck. The UAZ-450 was equipped with a lower-valve GAZ engine with a volume of 2,432 cm 3 and a power of 62 hp. (45 kW). The length of the vehicle was 4.3 m. The curb weight was 1.65 tons. The carrying capacity was 0.8 tons. The road speed was 90 km / h.
Further development new series received in UAZ-451 cars, which had only one drive axle (rear-wheel drive). Their carrying capacity was increased to 1.0 ton. These machines were equipped with a more powerful overhead valve engine. own development Ulyanovsk plant, an improved four-speed gearbox.
The exterior design of the cabin was changed: it acquired features that are familiar to everyone in the CIS and beyond. "Nostrils" were replaced by the radiator grill that has survived to this day. The rear-wheel drive UAZ-451, which was subsequently produced in parallel with the UAZ-452 for several years, was also produced in three modifications: a van; an ambulance and a truck with a double cab and a wooden body.
In 1965, the UAZ-450 was significantly modernized. The body received a side door that turned cargo van in a cargo-passenger, with a double door in the back. Depending on the modification and purpose (ambulance, postal van, etc.), the configuration of the doors also slightly changed. The engine and transmission of the car were also improved. This is how the legendary UAZ-452 appeared.
In 1966, the UAZ-452D vehicle (flatbed “tadpole” truck) was awarded a gold medal at the Moscow International Exhibition of Agricultural Machinery. And on August 20, 1966, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant received the Order of the Red Banner of Labor from the party and the government - for the successful development of mass production of much needed national economy auto-families.
In 1974, on February 18, the millionth UAZ car rolled off the assembly line of the enterprise. It was a "loaf" - a cargo van UAZ-452. A couple of years later, on February 16, 1976, the plant was awarded the second Order of the Red Banner, in particular, for a new successful model - UAZ 452V - a universal 10-seater minibus. In November 1977, the UAZ-452 family was awarded the All-Union Quality Mark.
In the 1970s, the chassis, engine and transmission of UAZ-452 vehicles were unified in design with the units of another “bestseller” of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant - the UAZ-469 family. In the early 1980s, lever shock absorbers were replaced by telescopic ones; equipped the machines with a 90-horsepower engine of the UMZ-414 model (torque 172 N * m at 2200 rpm); closed cooling system with expansion tank.
The "loaves", "pills" and "tadpoles" produced today, while maintaining their external patriarchal appearance, are already equipped with a modern injection engine that meets Euro-4 standards, ABS, power steering. But the latter, namely the UAZ-452, rolled off the assembly line in 1985, and all its subsequent descendants were called other indices.
UAZ-452 modifications
- UAZ-452- all-metal cargo van, basic modification.
- UAZ-452A- an ambulance. Accommodates up to 4 stretchers, or eight sick or wounded on folding benches, plus one accompanying person (in both cases). In total, the van has up to 11 seats. The ambulance van does not provide for comfort when moving the sick and wounded, the suspension remains the same from the standard model. But this is the only truly off-road " Ambulance»And an ambulance. The car body is divided by a partition into a driver's cabin and a sanitary room. The partition has a sliding glass window. In the sanitary compartment - in addition to folding seats and mounts for installing 4 stretchers, it is possible to place medical equipment. A swivel headlight is installed at the front of the roof.
- UAZ-452AS- a special ambulance vehicle "for special regions", in the northern version.
- UAZ-452AE- a universal chassis for the installation of additional superstructures and various equipment
- UAZ-452V- ten-seater minibus of wagon layout.
- UAZ-452D- a truck with a two-seater cab and a wooden body ("tadpole").
- UAZ-452G- a variant of an ambulance with extended capacity.
- UAZ-452K- experimental 16-seater three-axle bus for 16 seats(6 × 4) Made in 1973, it did not make it to mass production.
- UAZ-452P- another rare "exotic" specimen of the family - truck tractor based on UAZ.
Technical characteristics of UAZ-452
UAZ-452 vehicles have a frame structure, are equipped with two driving axles and a manual gearbox with a range multiplier (with the ability to switch all "speeds" to the gear ratio reduction mode). The design of the car for those distant years became innovative in the domestic auto industry - the layout of the "curbover" van, that is, "the engine under the cockpit", was first used on a Soviet production car in the UAZ-450-UAZ-452 family.
Mass-dimensional parameters of a serial car
- Length: 4.440-4.474 m (depending on modification); Width: 2,100 m; Height: 2.355 m.
- Wheelbase: 2,550 m.
- Ground clearance: 220 mm.
- Front and rear track: 1.442 m.
- Weight: from 1.845 tons to 1.909 tons (depending on modification)
- Gross weight: from 2,730 to 3,070 tons (depending on modification).

Now the descendants of the UAZ-452 are installing a modern injection engine ZMZ-409.
On the Internet, you can often find discussions on the topic: What is the best engine for a UAZ? Experienced drivers and UAZ owners agree that the former UMZ carburetor motors, for all their uneconomic and non-environmental friendliness, for the present harsh off-road still fit better: “What is there to argue about? what engine can i bring in after the car is flooded? Which engine is easier to repair on a knee in the woods? Which engine better traction at low speeds? Which engine is less whimsical in terms of fuel quality? UMP! "
Many people also call it a big plus on brutal off-road self-installation for the UMP clutch engine from: “The grip becomes almost indestructible. Greater clutch mass increases engine torque. "
Suspension, transmission and brakes UAZ-452
The general design of the transmission and suspension of the car has remained practically unchanged over all these years of production. And this is due not at all to the plant's unwillingness to change something in the old model, to improve it, but to the same notorious ideal geometric cross-country ability of the UAZ.
Both in front and behind the car, a dependent suspension based on continuous axles is used, which ensures maximum clearance for any strong rolls and obstacles (for example, large stones).
Rear suspension - dependent, leaf spring (on longitudinal semi-elliptical leaf springs). The ends of the springs are mounted in rubber cushions. Shock absorbers - hydraulic, lever, double-acting. Installed on the front and rear axles.
Frame UAZ-452 - stamped from sheet steel, longitudinal beams of channel section, connected by six crossbars. Front and rear brakes – drum design... Hydraulic brake drive - from hanging pedal, shoe with a drum, mechanical drive - by a cable from the lever.
UAZ-452 is really well adapted for off-road driving. In his arsenal there is a 2-speed transfer case, which can be connected front-wheel drive, solid ground clearance and excellent geometric flotation. In terms of its cross-country ability, it still surpasses many times modern SUVs.
The gearbox on the UAZ is mechanical, three-way, with four forward and one reverse gears. Transfer case - gear, with two gears. Cardan transmission is two tubular open cardan shaft- back and front.
The front axle is stamped, I-section. main gear single, a pair of bevel gears with a spiral tooth; ratio 5.12. The differential is conical, with four satellites.
UAZ-452 cab
Cab - all-metal, two-seater, with two side single-leaf doors and a removable engine hood cover. The salon is designed for the driver and one passenger, the seats of which are located on the sides of the engine. The motor, which is covered with a cover and shroud, is located directly in the middle of the passenger compartment.
The UAZ-452 salon looks in our "plastic" age already as a museum exhibit, as a small "trip into the past". And people find in it a kind of aesthetics, as in many old cars. Even more this effect of "excursion into the last century" is felt in the UAZ-452 cabin of the 60s / 70s (which still had a "line" of instruments from "Pobeda").
The spartan interior of the UAZ is also very practical, it is convenient just for heavy road conditions, countryside, army. Metal panels can be quickly cleaned of anything. And the floor can be easily cleaned with a stream of a hose, or by splashing a couple of buckets of water on it.
Reviews of drivers and owners about UAZ-452 cars
Let's start with the flaws of the machine, which are often noted by both experienced people and simply bystanders. The first disadvantage that immediately catches the eye is the lack of comfort in the cabin. In this regard, the leitmotif of most reviews of all drivers and owners about the car is as follows. In general, you need to understand that the UAZ-452 is a product of the domestic auto industry, and far from a novelty, but rather antiques. You just need to accept this fact and not try to treat the 452nd UAZ as a foreign car, and it is useless to compare it with foreign cars.
The UAZ-452 is a fairly simple, utilitarian car, in which there is not even a hint of comfort, but which will pass where even the coolest and most modern SUVs are powerless. The following significant disadvantages of this car are high consumption fuel and danger to the legs, and the very life of the driver in the event of a head-on collision.
In the Soviet Union, however, these problems did not matter much: there were no problems with cheap gasoline, and accidents were rare, due to the small number of cars on the roads and the absence of such high speeds that are available now.
Yes, many people note that the UAZ-452 is reliable and trouble-free only in the first years of its operation, then it will no longer be possible to be just a driver, and willy-nilly you will have to familiarize yourself with all technical features machine designs in practice. but serious breakdowns- still a rarity, even on older UAZs. Problems arise mainly over little things.
The advantages of the UAZ-452 are also quite obvious. This is an excellent cross-country ability, extreme simplicity in operation and maintenance, unpretentiousness and maintainability. Most of the repair operations can be done fairly easily in any garage with the tools available. Or it’s simple - in a field or forest.
UAZ-452 is praised not only for its cross-country ability. Compact driver, no larger than passenger car, UAZ clearly feels its dimensions. Thanks to the short wheelbase, the turning radius is very small.
Another significant advantage of the car is its versatility. The interior of a passenger or cargo "loaf" provides truly colossal opportunities for transformation, alteration and tuning. Some owners are not limited to standard folding table, quick-detachable (using a screwdriver) stools and back sofa. And they turn their UAZ into a real "home on wheels", in which it is very pleasant to travel, go on picnics, hunting or fishing.
There are also a lot of options to insulate the UAZ and make excellent sound insulation. You can use any material you like. The secret of the long-term popularity of the "loaf" is also in the cheapness of this car, which is successfully combined with simplicity.
UAZ "Loaf" is often subjected to tuning due to the cheapness of the base - the machine itself. As a result of the inspiring creativity of the owners, new versions of the old nicknames such as "BuHammer" or "BuHunter" appear.
UAZ - "loaf" abroad
It's hard to believe, but in the 21st century UAZ “loaves” continue to be exported, and not only to the former Soviet republics and socialist countries. For example, right-hand drive UAZs continue to be supplied to Japan today, as in Soviet times. There a loaf costs 20 thousand dollars. It seems that in the Land of the Rising Sun there are no other chances to buy new car, which will be so simple and not "stuffed with electronics."
Of the Western European countries, the loaf has won the greatest popularity in Italy. In this country, there are several clubs of fans of this car, which have united into an association. On account of this association - a raid on "loaves" across the Sahara Desert with a length of 11 thousand kilometers; motor rallies "Rome - Moscow" and "Rome - Ulyanovsk", rally in Iceland - a distant and wild land of geysers of volcanoes.
In 2001, the popular feature film "The Last Kiss" was released in Italy. According to the plot of the picture, three friends dream of making a house on wheels out of an UAZ and traveling around the world in it, realizing their ideas of freedom. At the end of the film, however, they sell it.
Price for UAZ-452
The price of the new UAZ “tadpole” (flatbed truck) starts at the present time, according to the official website of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, from 399,000 rubles. Direct from the factory, the cargo version can be purchased equipped with arches and an awning; either a food or manufactured goods van; a special van for the transportation of bakery products, the price is negotiable.
A new UAZ “loaf” starts at 437,000 rubles. Modification (with an extended cab, two rows of seats, and a curtain sided body) - from 480,000 rubles.
On the Internet you can find a great variety of ads for the sale of used UAZ-452 of all kinds of modifications. Such proposals are found in almost every region of our country, due to the huge prevalence of cars of this brand. Prices for used UAZ-452 are very different, depending on the year of manufacture, technical condition, sophistication of tuning - from 25,000 to 200,000 rubles.
Of course, a model that has been produced in an almost unchanged form for more than 50 years can be in demand on the market only due to some really outstanding qualities that make it irreplaceable. These qualities of UAZ vehicles are all-pervasiveness (first of all!), Versatility, low cost of the car itself and the cost of owning it; ease of operation, maintenance and repair.
Indeed, there are many more modern minibuses capable of providing the driver and passengers with comfort that differs from the UAZ one by several orders of magnitude. However, in the ratio of cross-country ability / price / capacity, the “loaves” still have no competitors. By the way, for the same reason, for example, the company "Land Rover" continues to produce the same "antediluvian" "Defender".
UAZ-452 is already the history of the domestic automotive industry. Its development at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant began in 1955, and three years later the car went into mass production. In 1965, the car underwent a major modernization, as a result of which it received a new engine, gearbox and modifications. Until the mid 80s this car was released unchanged, and the next update overtook him in 1985. This is where the story of the 452 ended, and it was replaced by an SUV with a new index - 3741.
UAZ-452 is a special off-road utility vehicle with a 4 × 4 wheel arrangement. It was produced both in a body (carriage) and on-board version ("tadpole").
452 was offered in various modifications, including a van, a chassis for installing various equipment, a ten-seater minibus, a truck with a two-seater cabin and a wooden body, as well as an ambulance and even a truck tractor.
The length of the UAZ-452 is 4360 mm, the height is 2090 mm, the width is 1940 mm, the wheelbase is 2300 mm, and the ground clearance is 220 mm. In running order, it weighs 1760 kg, and its gross weight does not exceed 3000 kg, depending on the version.
UAZ-452 was equipped with a four-cylinder carburetor gasoline engine UMZ-451 with a working volume of 2.5 liters, which produced 72 horsepower at 4000 rpm and 156 Nm of maximum torque at 2500 rpm. The engine was combined with a 4-speed manual transmission. The Ulyanovsk SUV is capable of reaching a peak speed of 110 km / h. The average fuel consumption of the 452nd is 18 liters per 100 kilometers at a constant speed of 90 km / h. The declared engine resource to the first overhaul- 300 thousand km.
UAZ-452 is perfectly adapted for off-road conditions. Its arsenal includes a 2-speed transfer case, front-wheel drive, solid ground clearance and excellent geometric cross-country ability. In terms of its capabilities, it is still much superior to modern SUVs.
