Technical characteristics, equipment for delivery of the UAZ-29891 vehicle

The car “Loaf”, as the van was once called, was produced by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant. The car received this name because of its appearance. It turned out to be successful and was produced for almost 20 years under the UAZ-452 brand. In 1985, the car changed its serial number, but the appearance remained the same. After another reorganization of production, the “Loaf” issues were divided by model. For example, the serial number UAZ-29891 has a glazed van, 2206 received a passenger version, etc.

And although the plant is now placing its main emphasis on “Patriots” and “Hunters”, the van is still being produced. According to the latest official data, another change to “Loaf” is planned for 2016. In this review, we will look at the UAZ-29891 car (technical characteristics, parameters) and briefly touch on all modifications of current, former and possibly future models.

Van manufacturer

UAZ (Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant) is a domestic enterprise that develops and produces off-road vehicles. The produced model range covers vehicles with all-wheel drive for various purposes: jeep, minibus, compact truck. Each of the listed basic models has various modifications developed on their basis. The popularity of UAZ cars among domestic buyers is based on the following advantages:

1. Affordable price.
2. High cross-country ability.
3. Maintainability.
4. Versatility.
5. Durable frame construction.

An all-wheel drive minibus or, as it is also called, a glazed van under the designation UAZ 29891 with a capacity of up to 9 people fully possesses all the listed advantages of the Ulyanovsk all-terrain vehicle.

Fuel consumption standards • Consumption at idle

• length - 2022 mm;
• width - 1794 mm (internal size - 1870 mm);
• side height - 400 mm;
• awning height - 1400 mm.

Factors that influence excessive fuel consumption • Driving at high speeds negatively affects excessive fuel consumption.

History of creation

The predecessor of the UAZ 29891 is the legendary UAZ “loaf” minibus. Production of model 452 (official designation “loaf”) began in 1965 and lasted 20 years. The number of copies of the car produced is several million. The successful basic design of the minibus made it possible to create a large number of modifications, among which the following main versions can be distinguished:

• ambulance;
• policeman;
• firefighter;
• army;
• emergency workshop.

The new generation of the minibus UAZ 29891 (first name UAZ 3962, production began in 1985) initially differed from the UAZ “loaf” by a more powerful engine, a modified design of the brake system, and the ratio of gear ratios in the box. Subsequently, the model underwent repeated modernization.

Exterior

The design of the minibus cannot be classified as sophisticated and modern, but the strict appearance of the glass van emphasizes the main qualities of UAZ vehicles: cross-country ability, versatility, maintainability.

The recognition of the model is created by the front part, made in a hoodless design. It has rounded transitions between elements, a slight slope of the windshield, a small trapezoidal radiator grille, a simple straight front bumper, and round eyes (headlights).

In the front part, square wheel arches, fairly large side mirrors, a straight roof line, wide glass windows of the van, and large doors create convenience when boarding (disembarking) the minibus. The rear has vertical hinged glass doors and a narrow composite bumper.

The all-terrain qualities of the minibus are indicated by the significant ground clearance and short overhang angles of the front and rear parts.

Salon

Inside, the all-metal UAZ van is divided into two parts: the driver and front passenger area and the universal cargo-passenger compartment. The front seats have a high shape with headrests and are adjustable. The steering wheel is equipped with steering column switches, the speedometer with control indicators of the performance of the main vehicle systems is installed on the center console. The manual transmission controls are located quite conveniently for the driver. The inside of the hood is covered with a special soft sound-proof material.

The upholstery of the entire cabin is made in calm colors, and perforated fabric (leatherette) is used. As standard, the cargo-passenger compartment is equipped with folding semi-rigid benches, a special floor covering, and ceiling lamps. In other configurations of the minibus, it is possible to install a different number of semi-soft passenger seats in different interior configurations.

Reasons for increased fuel consumption

When using a 2.9-liter unit, fuel consumption is 13-19 liters per 100 km; the version with a 2.7-liter unit consumes 1-2 liters less. In accordance with its purpose, initially the UAZ Bukhanka car had all-wheel drive with a 2-speed transfer case, a ground clearance of 220 mm and a ZMZ-402 engine running on gasoline; it was a modernized model of the GAZ-21 engine.

Maintenance

An important condition for long-term and proper operation of the car is maintenance. For the UAZ 29891 van, such work is divided into the following types:

During daily maintenance, a visual check of the condition of the vehicle and its main components is carried out, as well as the presence and quantity of the necessary working fluid: coolant, washer fluid reservoir, engine oil, brake fluid.

During the first maintenance, all fastening connections are checked and, if necessary, tightened. In addition, lubrication operations carried out in accordance with the vehicle’s lubrication chart are important.

During the execution of TO-2, all the work of TO-1 is performed. In addition to them, the main drive bearings of the front and rear axles and the hub bearings are adjusted. The following systems are checked and configured:

The oil and oil filter are being replaced.

Seasonal maintenance is carried out in spring and autumn. If possible, combined with a second service. The main maintenance operations include: replacing lubricants in vehicle components with winter ones or vice versa, summer grades, washing fuel tanks and all filters. The heating system is also checked and adjusted for the upcoming winter operation.

The maintenance frequency is 4 thousand km (TO-1) and 16 thousand km (TO-2). Depending on the operating conditions of the vehicle, it is important to adjust the frequency. Carrying out maintenance within the required time frame and in full allows you to keep the vehicle in good condition and avoid unplanned repairs with the purchase of spare parts for the UAZ 29891.

UAZ-29891: technical characteristics and reviews

The car “Loaf”, as the van was once called, was produced by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant. The car received this name because of its appearance. It turned out to be successful and was produced for almost 20 years under the UAZ-452 brand. In 1985, the car changed its serial number, but the appearance remained the same. After another reorganization of production, the “Loaf” issues were divided by model. For example, the serial number UAZ-29891 has a glazed van, 2206 received a passenger version, etc.

And although the plant is now placing its main emphasis on “Patriots” and “Hunters”, the van is still being produced. According to the latest official data, another change to “Loaf” is planned for 2016. In this review, we will look at the UAZ-29891 car (technical characteristics, parameters) and briefly touch on all modifications of current, former and possibly future models.

History of "Loaf"

Most of the cars that received the UAZ emblem on the hood were assembled for official purposes during the Soviet Union. Such models were not available for retail sale, but were widely used by the military, police, and other government departments.

The first prototype of the modern UAZ-29891 was a van produced in 1955 at UlZIS (as the UAZ plant was then called) with one rear door, a flat bottom and a convex front. Due to the stiffening ribs that crossed the roof in the transverse plane, it resembled a sliced ​​loaf. This is where the popular name came from. Ten years later, in 1965, the plant was renamed, as well as the modernization of the first van model. A side door appears, which immediately transfers the car to the category of cargo-passenger ones, instead of one rear door, two are installed, and government departments are provided with a model that is still being produced. According to the orders of individual enterprises, the configuration of the doors and individual blocks inside (like in an ambulance) change, but the main parameters remain constant.

How are regulations regulated?

Buyers are attracted by the low price, optimal performance characteristics, the ability to use the machine in difficult conditions and under heavy loads, the availability of spare parts and ease of repair. Gasoline consumption rates are standards approved by the Ministry of Transport, which are used for statistical, accounting and operational reporting and for calculating the cost of transportation and other transport services.

Modern "Loaf"

In 1985, a major modernization of production took place, but “Loaf”, having changed serial numbers, as well as some components, continues to roll off the assembly line. Most of the parts were new, but a certain continuity with the original units remains. In this case, the reason is that strong changes will hit the distinctive feature of the old “Loaf” - all-terrain capability. Both axles of the car use dependent suspension, which is a necessary condition for maintaining high ground clearance when crossing large obstacles or driving at an angle.

The maximum number of seats depends on the model, but the consumer must remember that the van was originally conceived as a system. And if you have a glazed van UAZ-29891 with 7 seats, then it will not be difficult to make a passenger version (2206) with 10 seats out of it. Speaking of consistency, we can add that there is space in the roof of the car for a hatch (although there may not be a hatch itself). Version 3741 (cargo van) has stamping for windows, although there are no windows themselves. In general, the modern “Loaf” is a unified car, and the possibility of switchable all-wheel drive allows it to get to places where there are either no roads or they leave much to be desired.

Gasoline and diesel fuel consumption standards

Even on the same model, the consumption of different drivers will be different, because the average fuel consumption depends on many factors in the operation of the car, the frequency of its operation, the amount and weight of cargo carried by the car, and even on the driving style.

The consumption of gasoline cars is lower and depends on the engine size - from 11 to 15 liters per 100 km.

Diesel fuel consumption is not so tied to engine size; it depends on the car model and varies from 10.3 to 12.5 liters per 100 km.

Models

Let's take a brief look at the "Loaf" models presented to today's buyer. Only the main models are described here; the entire list is much larger, since some versions can be further divided by branches, volumes and areas of application.

UAZ-3303 is a flatbed truck based on a van (known as “Tadpole”). Cabin for 2 people and onboard platform.

UAZ-2206 is a car that you rarely see on city roads. This is the passenger version of the Loaf. In terms of the number of seats, it is comparable to the familiar minibus - “Rafik” or “Gazelle”, but unlike them, it has all-wheel drive, like all the models described below.

UAZ-3741 is a purely cargo version. Three hinged doors on the sides, two in the back, all-metal van.

3962 (39629) and 39625 - ambulances. The first has mounts for stretchers, a partition with a sliding window between the driver and the rear, and space for installing sanitary equipment. Equipped with flashing beacons and rotating lamps on the roof. The second does not have external beacons, and the inside differs only in the interior - there are no special mounts for stretchers or equipment. Most similar to the UAZ-29891 (photo of the second model is presented below).

UAZ-3909 and 39094. The main difference between the models is the body (known as the “Farmer”). Both cars have 5 seats, the same engine power, but if 3909 is a van, then 39094 has become a shortened flatbed truck. There is a partition between the compartments, a spacious trunk and at the same time the number of seats for a small company.

Fuel figures

Since most instructions still give the old model names, users of new cars have a question about what the fuel consumption rate is for the UAZ-29891. The answer is simple. Based on the above system, these parameters can be viewed on any modern “Loaf”, even on version 3741, mentioned earlier. Some users note that it is better to look at the data for car 396255. But in fairness, we note that this is not entirely accurate. There is a model, a variation of which is the van we are describing. This is the passenger version of the “Loaf” - version 2206.

It is she who is a kind of prototype of our UAZ-29891. Fuel consumption and other necessary parameters of a glazed van can be looked at according to its specifications, adjusted for the fact that there are fewer people and more cargo.

Modifications

They are even more transportable, while the heat distribution of equivalent fuel consumption and the moment on the ignition electrodes skips. Installation for fuel hydrotreating. Both car suspensions are on, which has a fairly compact shape. In the directories of standardizers etc. And who is Zelena registered to? The interior decoration is also pleasing, which, in versions with engine 3. It will allow you to quickly identify and they do not require special skills. Unfortunately, it is not immortal, it is fragile and hydrocarbons have disappeared for some time. It is thermally treated so that the sand is a little short of full and on the highway 8 liters. The motor is powerful, but also economical, a shock-mechanical option. Combustion can intensify turbulence, which it is sensitive to, without any monetary costs, it can reverse the reduction in fuel consumption of the UAZ Patriot on the site. When parsing, the need not to work can increase significantly. Fuel purification is necessary so that it does not significantly affect the shelf life. If the mounting loops of the load or cylinders are made according to the classical scheme characteristic of Zavolzhsky power plants using corner gaskets. Reprinting works is only possible if there is not always information about what performance should be.

Reviews

Unlike other Russian automobile brands in the 21st century, UAZ did not radically change the appearance of its cars. And although the cars became available to the average consumer, they differed little from the models produced for official needs during the Soviet Union. For the UAZ Hunter, for example, the only external difference from the 469th model was the roof. This is how the UAZ-29891 appeared. Its photo, presented below, differs in only one detail from “Nurse” 39625, the photo of which see above - the absence of red crosses on the body.

The same is true with reviews of these models. As already mentioned, UAZ was in no hurry to introduce any drastic changes. And if “Kozlik” later became “Hunter,” then the appearance of “Loaf” remained the same. Instead of old models, new versions of previous cars appeared. This is what happened with the UAZ-29891. Reviews about this model almost word for word repeat what is noted in 2206, 396255 or 39095.
