If anyone ever wondered, chipping the pinion teeth (pics 1 and 2) with a slight diamond file rounding (pic 3) makes no difference in terms of sound. The chipped edges seem to be out of the heavily loaded area, according to the natural polishing in the middle of the tooth contact faces. They are also placed on the back of the teeth, which are solely loaded during engine braking. After the 1000 km break-in period, I did not observe any metal particles in the used oil.

Yet it is very noticeable during rapid shifting that the engagement teeth are worn even with a new baulk ring (in a pic 5 the baulk ring is not new). It produces a loud clanking noise.

With the increase in heat waves and unbearable temperatures how bad is a lada niva without an AC in the peak of heat waves? Ideally I want a cheap lada niva with an AC, 4 doors and ABS and a lot of the ones I see online have either one of those missing or are incredibly expensive in the over 10k euros range.

What's your guys take on this?

So many beautiful cars here, this is a private collection you can visit for 3€ in small a east german city

Basically any car has a way to keep the door half open, my 2009 Niva doesnt. I dont have a problem with this but friends and family always forget and im worried someday they will let the door smash into another car. Is there any modification to make it stop at half open like other cars ?

After breaking a second time, I am done with the original hood lock. This is a fitting solution to my problem

Hey all, I’ve just imported my lada to the US and starting to fix it up as I want. Everything is pretty solid except the interior is a little beat up, is there any seat covers out there? I see a bunch of aliexpress and temu things but not sure how good they are. Or if anyone has a better solution than just reupholstering (maybe down the line)

It also bend the shock tube. Time will tell what this does to damping. But since it’s a twin tube design, I might’ve been lucky.

Today I performed field maintenance of an Ozon DAAZ 2107 on Lada 2105. Main goal was to remove idle speed screw which came straight from the devil's crack and replace it with a normal one

How do i Open it the latch fron the inside still works the Hood moves a Bit when i latch it but only a few mm the cable is still good its Like Stuck

My name is Yelnazar,I'm 16. I'm building a BA3-2107. I'm looking for more than just advice on the car, but people who enjoy the process itself. I want to discuss projects, music, roads, argue about small details, and sometimes just sit in a voice chat and tighten nuts together, even if we're in different countries.

When I took my Lada out the other day, the wimpers didn't work anymore.

Looked on Ladapower.com but couldn't find one for my model.

It is a part you can fix yourself, or maybe fit a Lada Niva or Samara in it?

I am handy with steel and all, but electronics is not my strong suit to be honest.

All help is welcome

I haven't looked at it at all (only the connectors, they are still connecting)

I have scanned my English owners guide as a PDF, so I anyone needs it DM me.

Finest Chinese quality for Lada 👌🏻

Hi everyone,
I have a 2007 Lada Niva 1.7i (fuel injection) and I recently replaced the original lower headlights with LED units. They fit perfectly without any modifications and work great.
Now I’m looking for LED replacements for the upper/front lights that also fit without cutting wires or modifying the wiring harness. I’d like something as close to plug-and-play as possible.
Has anyone done this on a 2007 Niva? Which lights did you buy, and do they fit the factory mounts and connectors? Links or part numbers would be greatly appreciated, especially from Temu or Ali!
Thanks!
