"Tavria Nova" is a car with a 3-door body type - "hatchback". This type the body is characterized by a forward-leaning bonnet, wide side doors that allow passengers to sit in the rear seats and the inherent in all "hatchback" backdoor above the luggage compartment.
"Tavria New"
- is a completely modernized car, relative to its predecessor "Tavria" ... In 1998, as part of the modernization of the Ukrainian-Korean enterprise "AVTOZAZ-DEU", about 300 changes were made to the design of the car. These actions were aimed at improving the technical and operational indicators of the car and eliminating the shortcomings discovered during operation. Almost all the aggregate units of the car were modernized. The result of these events was the start of serial production of two modifications of cars:
- "Tavria" transition period;
- "Tavria New"
modernized.
The car was produced in several versions - "basic" with a 1.1 liter engine, "standard" with a 1.2 liter engine and "luxury" with 1.2 and 1.3 liter engines, and there was a 1.3 liter engine as with carburetor system power supply, and with a distributed fuel injection system (injector).
"Tavria Novaya" was produced in the following modifications:
ZAZ-110206-32 - "Standard" of a simplified configuration with an engine based on a carburetor with a volume of 1100 cm?.
ZAZ-110206-35 - "Standard" full set with carburetor engine volume of 1100 cm?.
ZAZ-110216-35 - "Lux" with a carburetor engine with a volume of 1100 cm?.
ZAZ-110216-40 - "Lux" with a 1100 cm3 engine and a Siemens distribution fuel injection system.
ZAZ-110207 - "Standard" with a 1200 cm3 carburetor engine.
ZAZ-110217 - "Lux" with a 1200 cm3 carburetor engine.
ZAZ-110218 - "Lux" with a 1300 cm3 carburetor engine.
ZAZ-110218-40 - "Lux" with injection engine volume of 1300 cm?.

The ZAZ "Tavria" car is a model of a car with a hatchback body. All the time it was produced at a Soviet plant, which later became Ukrainian. Production began in 1988, it ceased almost twenty years later - in 2007. Subsequent models, which were produced on the basis of "Tavria", rolled off the assembly line until 2011. The car could be characterized by a forward opening body, the side doors were especially wide. The latter allowed passengers to sit comfortably on rear seats... Of course, there was a luggage compartment door, as in all other models represented by a hatchback body.
The ZAZ "Tavria Novaya" car is a completely improved original version. It received a new digital index - 110260, while the first had 110240. In 1998, thanks to some requirements of the plant managers, the car received more than 300 changes. Most of them affected specifications, and also all the faults and shortcomings that showed themselves during the operation of the predecessor were corrected.
As a result, ZAZ produced two cars under the name "Tavria": a transitional mode and an improved one. There were several complete sets. They differed in different engines. The basic assembly received a 1.1 liter unit, the standard one - 1.2 liters and the luxury series - 1.2 and 1.3 liters. Moreover, the last option had an injector and carburetor power.
Development of the first copies
At the very beginning of the 70s, a large group of designers led by Steshenko developed this model. Then the team was able to realize new concept both on paper and as metal elements. It is necessary to clarify that already at that time the plans included a whole series of cars that differed in improved details and were modifications of the original ZAZ Tavria model. Among the possible designs were a pickup, station wagon, wagon, truck.
The power unit of the first instance, which came out in 1970, was the engine itself, a clutch and a 5-speed gearbox. Also, additional devices were installed in order to improve dynamics and make it more stable when cornering.
Car ZAZ "Tavria" (excellent reviews about it), which has a sedan, has all-wheel drive. The machine is equipped with two doors. Her maximum speed reached 140 km / h. Tests on it lasted one year - from 1972 to 1973. At the same time, then the name of the model sounded completely different - "Perspective".
Release of some models
"Zhiguli" (also known as "penny") became the prototype for the next series this car... This family is made with an emphasis on eliminating those shortcomings that were identified in the ZAZ Tavria car (technical characteristics can be read below). The weight of the new model was 700 kg. And, although the interior of this instance was similar to that of the VAZ, the total weight of the Zaporozhye brainchild was almost 100 kg less. The unit installed on the machine had a volume of 1.0 liters.
In 1974, restyling was carried out, during which the general appearance car "Tavria". ZAZ (the plant provided the exact characteristics) was not afraid to carry out updates, because the car was already quite in demand.
The next year, the domestic market saw new modelfully corrected as a result of recent modifications. In this case, employees of the Volzhsky plant were involved in the work. Literally in a year was born new car with four-wheel drive.
Release of the prototype of "Tavria" today
After the study of the world-famous Ford-Fiesta car began at the plant, it was decided to update the manufactured models. Thanks to this, in 1978 a new variation of "Tavria" appeared. Perhaps it is she who is the full prototype of the models that have survived to this day. This car became experimental - the designers were constantly considering new changes, coming up with various concepts. For example, there were 55 kg of plastic items in the car. As a result, these copies were completely ready for serial production in 1978.But everything turned out so that mass production began only closer to the 90s - in 1988. According to some sources, this was due to the fact that the state preferred cars more and pushed back the production of Tavria until the release of VAZ-2108 (Lada-Samara).
Production: "Dana", "Slavuta" and the new "Tavria"
The first sales began in 1988. At that time, the manufacturer considered its car as economical and inexpensive model... The following year, the USSR released an interesting commercial, which only fueled the interest of potential buyers.
The station wagon version - modification of 1994 - was named ZAZ-1105. The ZAZ "Tavria" engine and the "Dana" model coincided in their technical characteristics. Around the same time, Slavuta appeared. It was a car with a liftback body. Its serial production began in 1999. In 1997, the last copy of Dana was produced.
The usual base "Tavria" in 1999 was replaced by another model. "New" was created jointly with the Korean company "Daewoo". It changed some details and fixed technical problems.
Car release
The ZAZ "Tavria" car for the entire production period was provided to customers in a large number of modifications and variations. Injection and carburetor 1.1-1.3 liters were used. The appearance, body was constantly changing, new functions were added and old ones were removed, which no longer met the requirements of a modern driver. The most unsuccessful model was "Tavria", on which there was a Fiat unit. Its power was only 45 horse power, and spare parts ZAZ ("Tavria" in this matter was expensive) provided at crazy prices. These cons could not completely overlap low consumption fuel material. These copies were practically not bought, and if they were taken by the drivers, they were completely redone on their own. As a rule, they were then resold.
After the Ukrainian plant began to cooperate with the Korean company Daewoo, the appearance of Tavriya changed noticeably. From Lanos domestic car took over some details - seats, covers, etc. In 2005 and 2006 Zaporozhye plant announced the closure of production, but the complete closure of the conveyor occurred only in 2007.
Slavuta continued to be produced until 2011. The van sold well in small batches.
Body
The body of the standard "Tavria" is of the sedan type. The car has three doors. The bumpers - both front and rear - are made of plastic. Machine length is 3700 m, width - 1500 mm and height - 1400 mm. A sufficient amount of cargo can easily fit into the trunk. It is designed for 250 liters. In the event that there is not enough space, you can fold back seat... In this case, the driver will receive additional space - the volume figure rises to 650 liters. Many owners have never complained about the spaciousness of the luggage compartment, which already gives the right to understand that the manufacturer was right with the dimensions.
Suspension
The suspension is of an independent type. It's about the front. The rear suspension has different characteristics. It is semi-dependent and equipped with a special stabilizer.
Engine
Carburetor engine - Tavria was produced with such a unit for a rather long period of time. Its volume is 1.1 liters, and it was manufactured in Melitopol at a special plant. The engine has 4 cylinders, and all of them are located in one row across the axis of the car. The units can be characterized as follows - they are overhead valves and four-stroke. The ventilation is of a closed type. The system is closed by passing through the air cleaner, which is a very convenient location. The cooling is also of a closed type. A special expansion tank is installed through which liquid should be poured. The latter can be bought at any store specializing in cars. Also, this manipulation can be carried out at the station of those. service, but the price is slightly biting.
"Tavria" refers to cars of the 2nd class (budget models). Initially, it was produced at a Soviet plant, but later the bulk began to roll off the assembly line of the same, but already Ukrainian ZAZ. The first exclusive copy became a "parent" for a huge number different models and their modifications, which have been combined into a giant series.
You can easily remember about 40 different cars... It is worth noting that they were in high demand among domestic buyers. The end of the large-scale release took place in 2007.
Development history of ZAZ "Tavria-1102"
The development of a new (at that time) car "Tavria" began due to the need to replace the models. By the 70s, two variants of the car were created in the form of a sedan and a hatchback. But production permission was received only 10 years later. After the exit of a large party, the leadership changed the task of this machine. It was agreed that the model should be similar to the leader of European sales (we are talking about "Ford Fiesta"). An experienced designer working at a plant in Zaporozhye has said more than once that the American "child" has nothing in common with advertising. If bright posters and videos were made from "Fiesta" perfect car, then in reality it did not meet many of the stated characteristics. Therefore, bypass her in technically was not a very difficult and time-consuming process.
The Soviet auto industry constantly demanded from the manufacturer to improve the "Tavria", setting it more and more difficult tasks and goals. The first serial model, sold throughout the Union, was a copy released in November 1987.
Specifications ZAZ-1102
"Tavria" has a hatchback with 3 doors. Passengers fit 5 people. The vehicle weighs just over 1100 kg. The length of the vehicle is 3700 mm, the width is 1550 mm, and the height is 1400 mm.
The engines have a volume of 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 liters. Power is 53, 58 and 63 hp. with. respectively. Maximum acceleration (speed) - 145, 158 and 165 km / h, depending on the unit. You can gain 100 km / h from a standstill in 15-16 seconds.
Detailed description of the vehicle design
- The rear door of the machine is equipped with a special lock that is installed inside.
- Lubrication, or rather its system, is of a combined type.
- The crankcase ventilation system is closed and flows through the carburetor and air cleaner.
- The carburetor installed on the ZAZ-1102 has an emulsion type.
- The cooling system is located in the radiator, and it turns on automatically if necessary. The exact location is the casing.
- Ignition - battery. The plugs have a screw-in length of 18 mm.
- The vehicle exhaust system (muffler) has been adjusted by the manufacturer.
- The clutch is dry.
- The transmission is mechanical.
- The brakes are of different types. Parking - manual type, rear - drum, and front - disc.
The figure below shows a diagram of ZAZ-1102 (we are talking about electrical wiring).
Lineup "Tavria"
The ZAZ-110240 car began production in 1991. Production continued until 1997. In this model, the trunk has expanded volumes. There is a side passenger sofa. In contrast to the sedan, these specimens differ in carrying capacity. The car left the assembly line for the second time in 1999. Its predecessor, ZAZ-1102, was already far behind in development from the described model. A new version differed installed engine... A large-scale release of a sanitary modification was planned, but the desired did not come true.
The Tavria cargo model was named ZAZ-110260. Passenger seats was not, except for sitting next to the driver. The car is capable of carrying loads up to 300 kg.
The next interesting model is ZAZ-110260-30. A small hole for the antenna could be found in the roof of this modification. The car had distinctive feature - function availability automatic activation low fan speed. Special plugs were installed on the bumpers.
"Slavuta"
Slavuta rolled off the assembly line from 1999 to 2011. It belongs to category "B". Installed body type liftback. The engines with which these models were equipped are designed for 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 liters (carburetor), as well as 1.2 and 1.3 liters (injection). The development of "Slavuta", which is associated with ZAZ-1102, began due to the fact that "Dana" did not meet the modern requirements of drivers at that time, due to which it was not in great demand. Almost six months later, the 1.1 liter was replaced by an analogue of 1.2 liters. And in 2002, the most expensive model for the entire production period appeared on the markets - a car with a 1.3 liter injection engine. However, the latter option was not suitable for sale due to the severity of environmental standards. In January 2011, the plant stopped producing Slavuta.
The body has 5 doors, it is made of all-metal material, has a closed and load-bearing type. The rear window opens with the tailgate. The vehicle weighs 800 kg. The volume of the tank is 38 liters.
The engines that were installed at the Slavuta were developed and produced at the Melitopol plant. All units are designed for 4 cylinders. located at the back on the left. Ignition (ZAZ-1102 is equipped with a similar system) has a battery structure and contactless voltage at 12 volts.
"Dana"
The assembly of the car began in 1994. The last copy rolled off the assembly line in 2010. "Dana" is the owner of a 5-door body, which has significant differences from the original model. Although it was built on the ZAZ-1102, but the view is more new car has an original and organic design.
IN standard configuration the car is capable of carrying loads up to 200 kg with five passengers in the cabin. One could get acquainted with the engine, which was installed on the model, while driving the original "Tavria". Initially, it was planned to equip Dana with a unit with a capacity of 60 horsepower, which was designed for 5 thousand revolutions per minute, but due to some reasons, the car with this engine never entered mass production.
The car belongs to class "B". It is installed four-wheel drive... The gearbox is mechanical, and the engine is carburetor.
"Pickup"
This car is a modification of the original Dana model. Any customer could custom-fit a soft or hard top (optional), which easily turns the van into a haulage vehicle. The compartment, where all the luggage is placed, is separated from the driver and passenger seats by an ordinary partition with glass. The production of "Pickup", which is based on the car ZAZ "Tavria-1102", began in 1992 and lasted right up to 2014.
The units installed on the machine had different characteristics with regard to volume: from 1.1 to 1.3 liters.
Most of the details were borrowed from Dana. They differ among themselves rear bumper, lanterns of the same part of the car, a window in the partition (in a newer version, a lattice appeared on it). "Pickup" received updated side mirrors and an awning that can be installed on the grill cargo compartmentas well as suspension. The repair of this model, like the repair of the ZAZ-1102, does not require much time, effort and money. Therefore, such a machine is in high demand.
The front-wheel drive subcompact hatchback ZAZ-1102 "Tavria", which became the basis for a whole family of cars, entered mass production in November 1987, although the project of a new compact car - economical, affordable and dynamic - was ready at the Zaporozhye Automobile Plant back in 1978.
In 1998, the three-door underwent modernization, changing the name to "Tavria-Nova" (and the factory index to ZAZ-110216) - it was "cured" of the existing "childhood diseases", improved technical and operational performance, slightly updated the exterior and improved passive safety.
In this form, the car existed until the beginning of 2007, after which it finally left the conveyor due to the outdated design and low customer demand.
Externally, ZAZ-1102 "Tavria" immediately declares its "budget essence" - in the appearance of the car, there are no bright or memorable solutions, while it has a harmonious look, albeit not entirely attractive. Simple rectangular lighting, black plastic bumpers and flat sidewalls with regular strokes wheel arches - the hatchback looks pretty good, at least for its price tag.
"Tavria" is a full-fledged "player" of the B-class according to European standards: 3708 mm in length, 1410 mm in height and 1554 mm in width. The size of the wheel base of the three-door does not exceed 2320 mm, and its ground clearance has 162 mm. Vehicle weight in "combat" condition varies from 710 to 745 kg, depending on the version.
The interior of the hatchback by today's standards looks outdated in all respects - a four-spoke steering wheel with a flat rim, archaic dashboard, on which there was only a place for the speedometer and indicators of fuel and engine temperature, an unpretentious center console topped with "sliders" of the heater, an analog clock and a place for a radio tape recorder.
In the ZAZ-1102 cabin, frankly budget materials are used, and the assembly is not of high quality.
Formally, the "apartments" at the three-door are five-seater, but in reality the rear sofa can accommodate only two passengers (and they shouldn't expect an excess of free space, as well as elementary amenities, such as headrests). The front riders, in turn, are assigned to shapeless seats with weak support on the sides, but good adjustment ranges.
IN standard form the trunk of a small car is small - only 250 liters. The one-piece backrest of the second row of seats folds, but does not form a level platform, although it increases the volume of the "hold" to 740 liters. The full-size "spare wheel" for the car is not located under the raised floor, but next to the engine - under the hood.
Specifications. ZAZ-1102 "Tavria" is found exclusively in gasoline modifications equipped with a 5-speed mechanical box gears and front-wheel drive transmission:
- Initially, the car was equipped with in-line atmospheric "fours" with a volume of 1.0-1.3 liters with carburetor injection, liquid cooled and an 8-valve timing structure generating 54-66 horsepower and 80-105 Nm of torque.
- However, they were subsequently replaced by a 1.3-liter engine, which has a distributed power system in its arsenal and produces 72 "horses" and 108 Nm of maximum potential.
The Soviet / Ukrainian subcompact cannot boast of outstanding "driving" characteristics: from a standstill to 100 km / h, it rushes in 12.5-16.2 seconds, accelerates to a maximum of 148-164 km / h and "digests" no more than 6-7.4 liters of fuel for each "Hundred" in the "city / highway" mode.
At the heart of the ZAZ-1102 "Tavria" is a front-wheel drive architecture with a transversely based power plant and an all-metal body of the load-bearing configuration. The front axle of the vehicle is equipped with independent suspension type "swinging candle" with MacPherson struts, and the rear - a semi-independent architecture with a transverse beam and telescopic shock absorbers ("in a circle" - with coil springs).
The hatchback boasts a rack and pinion steering complex with anti-theft device... The three-door has a hydraulic double-circuit braking system with front disc and rear drum devices (albeit without any electronics).
Prices. In the spring of 2017 at russian market supported vehicles ZAZ-1102 "Tavria" are offered at a price of 15,000-50,000 rubles, while the cost of individual copies reaches 150,000 rubles.
The basic equipment of the car is extremely meager - 13-inch stamped wheel disks, fabric trim, head restraints on the front seats, heating rear window yes repeaters of direction indicators on the front fenders. The maximum version, in turn, "flaunts": a soft trunk shelf, a spoiler on the trunk lid, a radio, a sunroof and some other options.
Ukraine. Zaporizhzhia. The beginning of the 70s of the twentieth century. The history of the Ukrainian car ZAZ 1102 "Tavria" begins at the Kommunar plant. The vehicle has been equipped with several power units in its history. All of them fit a small car and had a budget, economical option.
Specifications
The Tavria engine was developed on the basis of the Ford Fiesta. Subsequently, it turned out a power unit that had the same design features... But, with the development of the automotive structure of Ukraine, the engines also developed, and at different times they were installed on Tavria different engines internal combustion... So, you can find the following power units: MeMZ-245, MeMZ-2457, MeMZ-307, FIAT-903, VAZ-2108.
The technical characteristics of all models of Tavria motors are quite typical. So, all cars were equipped with in-line, transversely placed power units of small size and power. This was enough for full operation. vehicle... The typical engine design made it easy to maintain and repair the power unit.
So, let's consider the technical characteristics of all Tavria engines with which the car was equipped:
MeMZ-245
MeMZ-2457
MeMZ-307
FIAT-903
VAZ-2108
Service
Maintenance of the Tavria engine is quite typical for all models, except for the VAZ 2108. Each MOT requires an oil and oil filter change. Of course, more specifically about each species maintenance can be read in the operation and repair manual, issued specifically for Tavria cars and their modifications, but we will describe in detail how and when it is worth carrying out operations.
TO-1. In the first maintenance, it is worth changing the oil and oil filter, conducting an inspection technical condition power unit... MOT are carried out after 8000-9000 km of run after purchase or overhaul
TO-2. It is done on a run of 17-18 thousand km. This service also changes the oil, oil filter, and air and fuel filters.
TO-3. The third MOT is perhaps one of the most difficult, since it is worth replacing the set of gas distribution mechanism, filter and oil on the car, as well as adjusting the valve mechanism and replacing the gasket valve cover... It is carried out after 25-27 thousand km of run
TO-4.The fourth maintenance does not differ from the second, only in it it is worth diagnosing all systems and looking at possible malfunctions.
Many motorists carry out maintenance of the Tavria engine on their own, since the simplicity of the design and the easy accessibility of all operations make the procedure possible even for novice motorists.
Engine repair
Repair of the Tavria engine, as already mentioned, is quite simple and done with ease. The most common work is changing the oil, timing belt and pump. As for the overhaul, it is better to entrust this procedure to professionals.
But, since the cost of restoration is too high, and car services take a lot of money, it usually ends garage repair... This section will review the implementation of some restoration work on individual items and the basics of the overhaul behavior in general.
Change of oil
Oil change in car engine typical for all front wheel drive motors. The procedure itself is very quick and takes about 30 minutes on a cold engine. So, consider the sequence of actions aimed at changing the oil in the Tavria engine.
- Without fail, when carrying out any restoration work on the engine, you must remove the battery terminal.
- If the engine protection is present, dismantle it so that you can easily change the oil.
- The next step is to unscrew the drain plug.
- When the oil has drained, you can remove the oil filter using a special remover. Before installing a new one, it is necessary to fill it in - new is not enough.
- We twist the drain neck. It is worth remembering to replace the copper sealing washer.
- Pour new oil through the filler neck. The required amount of oil can be determined using a dipstick. The level must be between min marks and Max.
- When everything is done, we twist the filler neck and let the motor run for a few minutes. Then, check the level lubricating fluid... Top up to the required level if necessary.
The Tavria engine holds 3.5 liters of oil, according to the manufacturer's technical documentation.
Replacing the timing belt
One of the most difficult car repair processes is replacing the timing belt. Most motorists are not able to do this operation on their own, which is used by specialists in car services. So, let's look at how to replace the timing belt with your own hands:
- I put the car in 4th gear, and we fix the hand brake.
- Now, we loosen the generator belt, and the part itself is shifted as close to the motor as possible.
- We spin the wheel until the first piston is in TMV.
- Next, we fix the pulley camshaft, and remove the belt.
- In order for the replacement to proceed correctly, before dismantling the belt, it is worth loosen the tension roller.
- Now that the belt is dismantled, take out the tensioner.
- We carry out the assembly in the reverse order.
Attention! The camshaft pulley should definitely be fixed so as not to knock out the valve timing, because if this happens, it will be quite difficult to return everything back. Otherwise, bent valves or even worse consequences await the motorist.
Replacing the pump
Replacing the water pump on Tavria is carried out typically for the design of the ZAZ 1102, Slavuta and Sens engine. It should be understood that the pump pulley is tied to the timing belt and must be dismantled. So, consider the sequence of actions aimed at replacing the water pump:
- As in all cases of repair and restoration work, it is necessary to dismantle the minus terminal from the battery.
- Now that the preliminary stage has been passed, you can proceed directly to the process. First, remove the protective casing of the gas distribution mechanism. Depending on the year of manufacture and the model of the motor, it can be fastened from 5 to 9 screws.
- We drain the coolant to the level of the water pump so that the antifreeze does not spill out when the mechanism is disassembled.
- Having fixed the camshaft pulley, it is worth lowering the belt tensioner. Then you can remove the belt from the camshaft pulley and pump drive.
- Having unscrewed the three screws securing the water pump, we will disassemble the part, pull it towards ourselves from the block.
- The assembly is carried out upside-down.
- We start the engine and let it run. Add coolant to the level if necessary.
It must be remembered that the water pump gasket should also be replaced. Usually it comes with a pump, but it all depends on the manufacturer.
Overhaul basics
Overhaul of the Tavria power unit is the restoration of the engine to the factory technical condition. The process is being carried out, maybe at a specialized car service, where they will take a significant amount from the motorist, or with their own hands. In any case, you will need machines for boring the cylinders of the block and the crankshaft. The main processes that are carried out when overhaul power unit Tavria:
- Dismantling the engine. At this stage, all motor parts are dismantled and their condition determined.
- Diagnostic operations on crankshaft and the cylinder block. So, engine parts are subjected to measurements, determination of repair dimensions. So, for the crankshaft it will be 0.25 mm, 0.50 mm, 0.75 mm and 1.00 mm. But for the cylinder block - 82.5 mm, 83.0 mm and 83.5 mm.
- The next stage is boring and honing, as well as grooving of the crankshaft. This process also includes grinding the block plane and washing the parts.
- Further, all the parts that remain are repaired - the cylinder head, the oil pump.
- The last stage is the assembly of the motor and its running-in.
The described process seems simple enough, but do not rejoice, because this is only a short description of the processes.
Refinement and tuning
Many motorists, especially in Ukraine, are tuning ZAZ Tavria engines. There are two tuning options - superficial and full. Let us consider the second option in more detail, since it is more complicated.
First of all, the engine is disassembled and lightened. This is obtained by replacing some parts. The motorist will need lightweight pistons from ANF (Poland), valves with a low landing, also lighter ones, a lighter DEF crankshaft (made in Ukraine), as well as light connecting rods.
After replacing these parts, the already lightweight motor will become 82 kg lighter. Then, we update the cooling system, replacing the water pipes with silicone ones, and the pump with a tuning version from Sens.
The next step is to rework the exhaust system, which should be shortened by 5 cm, this will add an average of 12 horsepower. It will also be necessary to upgrade the injection system. For this, the carburetor is moved. The jets are either turned in a new way on a lathe, or the old ones are grooved. Also, it is worth replacing the "nozzle" of the fuel supply.
