Two budget ways to “deal” with the LADA Vesta box

The “placebo effect” that works on “Vesta” is better than ECU firmware and throttle adaptation.

“Kicking” mechanical “box” LADA Vesta – “migraine”, which many motorists dream to deal with. But resourceful “messengers” on Drive2 have found a solution in a couple of budget life hacks.

The car “kicks”, it was especially acute when shifting from 3rd to 2nd gear. The motorist punched in a crankcase check valve and sealed its connections with plumbing rubber bands.

The seals “from the market” were perfect for 100 rubles per set:

“I disconnected the plugs, put on the rubber bands all the way and snapped them back. The plugs immediately stood up like a family and the backlash disappeared, ”the motorist writes, adding that the number of rubber bands is individual – somewhere 2, somewhere 3.

I had to tinker with the valve: the branch pipe “hardened” and burst, it had to be replaced, which cost another 450 rubles.

Result:

“The car went completely differently. Twitching disappeared when switching, when you release the gas pedal there is no sharp nose pecking. The price of a happy ride is 100 rubles for rubber bands and 450 rubles for a valve. “

“We are tired of the order of jerking and pecking when starting off and shifting gears 1, 2, 3,” writes the owner of LADA Vesta 1.6 2016.

Replacing the penny tube from the absorber valve to the intake manifold with a petrol-oil-resistant reinforced hose, as well as additional sealing of quick-release couplings, gave the desired effect: Vesta stopped twitching, and besides, the knock of the right engine support disappeared.

Required: a piece of hose 70 cm, 2 self-clamping clamps 13 mm.

“Work for 5 minutes – cut off the hose, put clamps on it and pull it over the valve and intake manifold fittings,” the driver shares.
