General description of the car

A distinctive feature of the UAZ-33036 car, the photo of which is presented below, is considered to be that it is “long wheelbase”. That is, its length increased by 25 cm, which made it possible to increase the carrying capacity of the machine, as well as provide better stability and a softer ride.

The cargo platform (body) is made of metal. All three sides are folding, they are equipped with special brackets that can be used both for securing large cargo and for installing a waterproof awning. Along the front side there is a pair of folding seats, each of which can accommodate two people.

Machine models

For a long time there was no scale model of the extended UAZ truck, with the exception of single handmade examples. The situation changed in 2022 with the release of the magazine model UAZ 33036 “Autolegends of the USSR” No. 215.

The 1-43 scale model is made in China and is quite similar to the prototype. The impression is spoiled by sloppy headlights and tires with incorrect geometry and tread pattern. On the model, a side turn signal is extremely implausibly simulated - just a spot of orange paint. Often there are poorly assembled models - with crookedly glued or broken elements, with glue stains.

Cabin

The truck's cab remained two-door, just like on the UAZ-3303. It is designed for two people and has not undergone any significant changes in appearance. Nevertheless, the UAZ-33036, despite its external simplicity, bordering on asceticism, has become more comfortable: the interior received soft fabric upholstery, the seats became adjustable, the manufacturer trimmed the instrument panel with plastic, and for the winter period a high-performance heater was installed in the cabin.

The engine is placed directly in the cabin, which is why the driver's seat is separated from the passenger seat by a metal casing covered with leatherette. From a practical point of view, this is quite convenient, as it allows, if necessary, to carry out repairs or maintenance in any weather and regardless of the time of day.

Time for a change

In the first half of the 90s, the UAZ assembly line contained a whole family of trucks and minibuses on one base. The bulk of the vehicles produced were the easier-to-produce flatbed truck model 3303-01 with a load capacity of 0.8 tons. Minibuses lagged significantly behind in production volumes, despite the significant demand for such products. But the plant was already working at the limit of its capabilities, even abandoning the production of simplified rear-wheel drive cars. Many organizations have converted trucks into buses by replacing the platform with a passenger compartment.

After the collapse of the USSR, the UAZ plant continued to operate for several years by inertia, offering a constant range of products. At that time, there were many auto repair companies that converted production cars into more popular options. By the time mass production of the Gazelle began, the UAZ plant did not have any alternative model of the vehicle. Sales began to fall sharply, and already in mid-1995, unclaimed cars began to accumulate at the plant’s finished product area.

Units and mechanisms

The UAZ-33036 power unit is of type L4, that is, it has an in-line arrangement of four cylinders, respectively, and pistons that rotate a common crankshaft. In this case, the cylinders are located vertically. The UAZ-33036 is equipped with a UMZ-4218.10 eight-valve gasoline engine with a power of 86 horsepower and a carburetor fuel system. The motor is located longitudinally in the front. The car is equipped with a manual transmission with four shift stages. The transfer case is also mechanical and has two stages.

The drive is full and permanently connected, but it is possible to disable the axle shafts of the front wheels. Suspension both front and rear is dependent leaf spring. As for the braking system, it is hydraulic, equipped with a hydraulic booster to facilitate operation, and operates separately on the front and rear wheels. The braking system on all wheels is drum type.

Owner reviews and how much the car costs

The new UAZ-33036 Loaf costs 800,000 rubles.

Dmitry, 38 years old, Magnitogorsk: “This is a vehicle with a high level of maneuverability and a powerful gasoline engine. I work on model 33303. I recommend immediately buying the kit with a booth, otherwise the number of passenger seats will be reduced. The downside to this car is the door locks keep sticking. It is often necessary to change the seal on the doors, because... he is leaving."

Timofey, 41 years old, Izhevsk: “I worked on the UAZ-330302 Kung model for about 3 years. The technology is reliable, but has its drawbacks. For example, an uncomfortable seat in the driver's cab. It is unusual that the drive wheels are located slightly behind, i.e. under the driver's seat."

About engines for the UAZ 3303-“Loaf” truck

The cargo model 3303 from the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant is one of a series of all-wheel drive utility vehicles, which also includes a van, a minibus, a medical vehicle and a carriage-type model (Farmer).

Popularly nicknamed “Loaf”, the model has been traveling around the Russian expanses for more than half a century, and under the hood it has evolved GAZ-21 engines. Some modifications of power units are now being installed on the UAZ Hunter and Patriot.

Engine UMZ 417 / 4175 / 4178 2.45 l

The next step in improving the GAZ-21 engine was the UMZ 417 engine with a compression ratio increased to 7, a modified camshaft, new 47 mm intake valves, with old exhaust valves. The UMZ 417 also received a two-chamber carburetor and a new air filter. Later, these engines began to use a crankshaft without packing.

If we compare the UMZ 417 with the ZMZ 402, their differences will be cosmetic: on the 417s there are no stiffeners, the liners are softer, and the flywheel is larger, while the principle of operation of the cooling system is inverted.

A different intake manifold and smaller exhaust valves affect engine power.

Engine malfunctions are completely similar to the disadvantages of the ZMZ 402, that is, there are extraneous noises and knocks, the need to adjust valves every 10 thousand kilometers, overheating, etc.

Vibrations and jerking occur due to the curved design, resulting in uneven fuel delivery.

Experts consider the UMZ 417 engine to be outdated, like other units from the GAZ-21 family, and they have no place under the hood of modern cars. 1

Engine UMZ 421 / 4213 / 4215 / 4216 / 4218 2.9 l

The UMZ 421 power unit became the most modern modification of the GAZ-21 engine and a logical development of the UMZ-217 model, but with a larger volume and exhaust valves increased to 39 mm. The newest versions of the UMZ 421 already have a fuel injection system installed.

The UMZ 421 engine differs from the ZMZ 402 in thin dry liners, which increased the strength of the block, cylinders 100 mm in diameter, and the pistons have pins offset by 7 mm. Instead of anachronistic padding, a rubber cuff and other small parts are used.

At the same time, on a global scale, the engine has not changed and is essentially the same unit from the mid-50s, but in an improved form.

Due to the lack of hydraulic compensators, the gaps will have to be adjusted every 10 thousand kilometers.

The disadvantages of UMZ 421 include a crooked design, which affects the occurrence of twitching, vibrations, and other things.

Engine knocking occurs due to unadjusted valves, connecting rod bearings or camshaft.

Overheating of the engine occurs due to a defect in the thermostat, pump or air lock in the cooling system.

The advantages of the UMZ 421 include high-torque power, availability of spare parts and full maintainability. If you take care of the engine and do not overload it, the service life will be at least 200 thousand kilometers.

Engine ZMZ 409.10 / 4091.10 / 4092.10 / 4094.10 2.7

The basis for the large-volume ZMZ-409 engine was the ZMZ-405, which used a crankshaft with a stroke increased to 94 mm, the same connecting rods, and modified pistons shifted by 4 mm. Otherwise, it’s still the same 405 with the same cylinder block height, thinner inter-cylinder bridges, and slots for cooling. Torque has increased due to increased performance by 7 “horses,” and the latest engine modifications comply with Euro-3 eco-standards.

Malfunctions include jamming of the timing chain hydraulic tensioner, but the valves do not bend.

The thermostat or a clogged radiator is to blame for engine overheating.

Loss of traction is the work of the ignition coils, which must be replaced otherwise the engine will break down.

The knocking noise occurs due to the hydraulic compensator, which requires replacement.

Engine friction is affected by spark plugs, connecting rod bearings and compression.

Additional options

In addition to cars, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant also produces vans of its own production, which can be either isothermal or universal. In particular, “Thermos”-2746 is a van created on the basis of the UAZ-33036 (photo can be seen below).

In addition to the basic equipment, the plant can install an ignition switch with a built-in anti-theft device, a steering column multifunction switch, soft seats with headrests and an adjustable backrest, and a sunroof for interior ventilation. In addition, the casing that encloses the engine is sheathed with additional thermal and noise insulation, and the cabin ceiling can also be treated. On the outside of the front, to protect the headlights and radiator from damage, a protection (“barrier”) can be installed. And to make the truck easier to operate in winter, there is an option to install a pre-heater.

The Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant began producing the UAZ-33036 in 1997, and it continues to roll off the assembly line to this day.

Serial products

Exhibition copies of the UAZ 33036 had a slightly different cabin and interior design. However, the UAZ was within strict technological limits, so the cabin did not undergo noticeable changes. In the interior, the changes were minimal - the series received a plastic cover on the instrument panel, a new steering column trim and a steering wheel of a more ergonomic shape.

The seats equipped with headrests have become more comfortable. The car was equipped with a more functional steering column switch. Otherwise, the cabin and controls remain unchanged.

The UAZ 33036 went on sale in 1996 and quickly replaced the basic vehicle with a short wheelbase from the production line. Despite all its shortcomings, the car turned out to be in demand. Currently, production of the UAZ 33036 with a 112-horsepower ZMZ engine and a five-speed gearbox continues.

UAZ 3303 (tadpole) technical characteristics: body dimensions, load capacity, engine

The UAZ 3303 truck is a legend of the Soviet automobile industry. Production of this model began in 1966 and continues to this day. It has a simple design, excellent technical characteristics and is very easy to use. Taken together, this brings the vehicle great popularity in all areas of the national economy.

General description of the vehicle

To replace one of the first models of light-duty trucks, the UAZ 452D, the Ulyanovsk plant produced the UAZ 3303 in the early 1980s. When creating this vehicle, special attention was paid to the simplicity of its design, which made it possible to obtain excellent technical characteristics, regardless of operating conditions. The UAZ 3303 is distinguished by its reliability, durability and wear resistance.

The main structural elements of the car are located on a welded frame. It is made of high quality steel, which ensures a long service life. Also, this approach to the design of the machine makes it easy to repair it using a standard set of tools and do this even in the field.

Characteristics of individual components and elements of the machine

The power unit of the UAZ 3303 car is located along the central axis under the metal cabin. This model is distinguished by the absence of a hood, which in no way impairs access to the engine. To repair or service the engine, you must move inside the cabin. This greatly facilitates the driver’s work in difficult weather conditions, when there is a need to repair any breakdowns.

The engine in the UAZ 3303 is located under the cab between the seats

The car cabin can additionally accommodate one passenger. Steering the vehicle is comfortable for the driver of any configuration, which is possible thanks to the successful placement of the steering column. The presence of a large windshield provides good visibility, which is especially important when driving off-road.

The gear shift mechanism in the UAZ 3303 deserves special attention. It is made in the form of rods, which is not always convenient. The body and cargo platform of the vehicle are made of wood, but if necessary, can be equipped with an awning. The sides of this vehicle are made folding, which ensures comfortable loading and unloading of any cargo.

Option for the UAZ 3303 gearbox

The suspension of the UAZ 3303 is made on a dependent rear (drive) and front (connected gear) axle, which are designed using semi-elliptical springs. They are equipped with shock absorbers that ensure comfortable movement of the car in any conditions.

To restore any mechanism if it is severely damaged, it is recommended to use the repair manual.

How to bleed the brakes

Before you start bleeding the UAZ brake system, you must place the vehicle on a flat surface and turn off the power unit.

1. Clean the brake safety valves from dirt.
2. Check the brake fluid level in the tank and, if necessary, add it to the required level.
3. Bleed the brakes when there is a load on the rear axle.
4. Remove the protective cap from the rear wheel cylinder, which is located on the right side.
5. Place the clear hose on and submerge it in a container of brake fluid.
6. Press the brake pedal 5-6 times and turn the bleeder valve half a turn.

Air bubbles should begin to appear in the container filled with brake fluid. When the pedal is pressed all the way, you need to close the control valve. The entire procedure must be repeated several times until the formation of air bubbles stops. Finally, you should install the protective cap in place, start the engine and check the functionality of the brake system.

Frame strengthening and cabin repair

In order to strengthen the frame of the UAZ-33036 with your own hands, you can install special inserts made of sheet metal about 3-4 mm thick inside the longitudinal side members. Before this, it is recommended to clean the support frame from accumulated dirt, conduct an external inspection of the entire mechanism for damage and cracks, and, if necessary, eliminate deficiencies.

After the preparatory work, you can begin installing the inserts, in which you can additionally drill holes for wiring electrical equipment and fastening wiring.

If there are dents or cracks on the cabin, then it is necessary to make a primer, weld the cracks, and putty all the damage and imperfections.

The reason for the doors being difficult to open may be the presence of burrs on the latch or locking device, as well as sagging of the doors. In this case, it is recommended to remove the burrs and adjust the door mechanism.

If the booth fuse does not work, you need to replace the lock rod or drive and loosen the fastening elements of the door mechanism.

In order to remove the cabin, you need to use a special tool and a jack.

How to adjust the clutch

Before you begin adjusting the UAZ-3303 clutch, you need to measure the free play of the brake pedal, which disengages the clutch. The obtained values ​​should not exceed 30 mm, but should not be less than 5 mm. For this procedure, you need to press the pedal all the way. If the obtained indicators are outside the specified range, then it is necessary to adjust the length of the pusher, which is located in the main cylindrical mechanism.

After this, use a wrench to unscrew the lock nut and begin to rotate the rods using pliers. The gap from the engine compartment partition to the central part of the axial mechanism of the master cylinder rod should be 96 mm.

Having unscrewed or tightened the adjusting screws, it is necessary to set the required size and lock the adjusting screws of the handles by inserting the edge of the handle into the groove of the tail part of the screw.

After adjusting the clutch mechanism, it is recommended to replace the oil and fuel fluid with new ones and start the engine to check the operation of the entire clutch system.

Front axle repair

The front axle structure includes the following elements:

• axle;
• tapered bearings;
• fasteners;
• hub;
• protective device in the form of a disk;
• front axle;
• ball thrust bearing;
• rubber buffer;
• bushing, king pin;
• locking mechanism.

If the camber angle of the wheel mechanisms has been violated, then it is necessary to adjust the hub bearings, replace worn and damaged system elements and adjust the tightening of the pins.

If a large amount of ball joint lubricant leaks out while driving, the worn oil seal must be replaced.

If there is increased tire wear, it is recommended to straighten the link, adjust its length and position, check the wheel alignment or replace the failed link.

If you hear extraneous noise, knocking or grinding noise in the steering knuckle while driving, then you need to add lubricant to the system and the ball joint, check and adjust the angles of rotation of the front wheel mechanisms, and lubricate the kingpin.

For proper operation of the front axle, it is recommended to straighten the crankcase protective covers.

How to install the ignition

If the engine does not start or stalls while driving, the ignition must be installed.

In order to adjust the ignition, you must perform the following steps:

1. Secure the vehicle using anti-roll mechanisms.
2. Set the piston of the first cylinder to the top dead center position.
3. Check whether the crankshaft pulley hole aligns with the mark on the timing gear cover.
4. Remove the cover from the camshaft.
5. Rotate the crankshaft 180°.
6. Tighten the ignition system indicator using the bolt.
7. Rotate the switchgear housing.
8. Fix the position of the plate.
9. Reinstall the camshaft cover.
10. Check that the ignition system wires are connected correctly. They must be connected in the same order in which the cylinders operate.
11. Start the power unit and let it warm up to +80°C.
12. At a speed of 40 km/h, press the accelerator to test the system.
