Hello again! Today I wanted to talk about the identification of different types within the four classic models that circulate in our countries.
Within these models (2104 / 2105 / 2106 / 2107) we have different types that differ from one another usually by the year they were manufactured, the factory that manufactures and type of motor / gearbox they have, besides other details such as type of ignition, carburetor type, etc.
As they are made over a long time these cars have some differences when it comes to maintenance, purchase parts, make adjustments, etc.. are really important.
find key data so that we can identify the type of car are:
- the car's serial number or VIN number
- the engine serial number
Both may be found in the same car, the first printing in the chassis and the second in the engine block as I show below:

The right plate is the VIN number and other data including the type of engine are (Dato important: set the motor type plate is the same type we have installed!)
The plate on the left, indicating the European standards security that are covered by the car's design.
The VIN number is the serial number of each car LADA characteristic, is composed of data from the manufacturing of the car plus a single serial number and gives us much information about the car:
The engine serial number is located on the block, in the lower right side. The first four digits of this serial is the type of engine: 1200cc
2101 (with chain) 21011
1300cc (with chain)
1500cc 2103 (With chain)
2105 1300 cc (timing belt)
2106 1600cc (with chain)
As a general rule remember that the network distribution engines have a different front and cover those belt as well as the position of the oil filter is perpendicular to the side of the engine.
engines in distribution to the filter belt is prepared parallel to the side of the engine:
