Replacement carried out on your own

Note. Before you start replacing the cabin filter, you need to know where it is located. It’s interesting, but the location of this element in the VAZ 2112 differs from the standard location. The place where it is located is indicated in the photo below.

As you can see, it is placed under the frill, the so-called convex grille. It is this very frill, or rather, the unfortunate placement of the filter that causes the element to constantly flood during rainstorms with water flowing down from above the glass. Apparently, when this component of the car was being developed in Tolyatti, the weather was dry and sunny.

Note. When the cabin filter is filled with water, the windows in the cabin often begin to fog up.

Tools

We will need:

  • Flathead screwdriver. A flathead screwdriver should preferably have a thin and wide blade. It is needed to pry up the edges of the plugs. If you use the “old-fashioned method”, that is, prying it with a nail or other improvised means, you can damage the decorative components.
  • A screwdriver is figured or Phillips. It is needed to remove the necessary screws and self-tapping screws.
  • You also need a 10mm socket or a socket wrench that is bent at 90 degrees. The fact is that the nuts that secure the frill at the edges are located in a certain recess and an ordinary wrench will not fit there in any way.

Algorithm for the replacement operation

So:

  • We remove the wipers (see Repairing wipers on your own). This is the very first thing you will need to do. To do this, remove the caps and then unscrew the nuts with a 10 mm wrench.

Advice. It is highly recommended to mark the wipers so that during assembly you do not confuse the right with the left. It happens that the driver's side wiper is longer.

  • Now you need to remove the plastic plugs placed on the frill. To do this, you need to unscrew 4 screws, being careful not to drop the washers.
  • We take a socket or a special socket wrench and unscrew the end nuts from the studs, which are located in an inconvenient place. You'll have to suffer a little.
  • It's time to remove the six screws that connect the frill and the engine compartment. In the photo below, the nut is on the left.
  • We move the frill, doing it very carefully.
  • On the driver's side, under the hood, we find a thin hose designed to supply fluid to the windshield washer. You don't have to touch it.
  • We find the cabin filter grille cover, the so-called protection grid.
  • We remove it, first removing the rear window washer reservoir, which may be in the way. It can be easily removed, just unfasten the rubber strap.
  • We turn out the screws with a curved screwdriver.
  • Remove the cover.
  • We take out the cabin filter, which in most cases is not in its best shape.
  • We install the new one, trying to install it in the same way as the old one. The filter should rest on two shelves in front.
  • We put up a grid.
  • We collect everything as it was.

Advice. We are assembling the frill in place, it is advisable to first attach the screws and only then tighten them. This will allow the frill to sit better in place. In addition, when tightening the end nuts, it is better not to overdo it, because the part is made of plastic and can be easily broken.

In the process of performing manipulation with your own hands, it is recommended to study photos and video materials. This will make it possible to better understand the instructions. By doing the work yourself, you can successfully save money. Usually the price for services of this property from professionals is unreasonably high today.

Payment via Portmone

After selecting payment through Portmone, the payment system will launch, where you need to select the payment method: bank card or Portmone account.

The price in the Portmone payment system is converted into dollars at the exchange rate of the Central Bank of the country where you are located.

If you have a bank card in a currency other than the dollar, then the money will be debited from the card at the rate of the Central Bank of your country at the time of the purchase.

After specifying payment details and confirming payment, payment for the goods will occur.

Design features of the cabin filter of the VAZ-211 family

We have already noted the imperfection of the design of this protective device in relation to the VAZ family with the index “211”.
What is it? Typically, such a filter element is placed directly next to the heater in the area where the main air duct branches. In most cases, this is the area behind the glove compartment, that is, inside the cabin. The VAZ team decided to go their own way. Where is the cabin filter of the VAZ-2112? It turns out that it is in the engine compartment under the frill - the facing panel of the windshield. Obviously, the designers believed that access to the engine compartment was much easier than from the front passenger side inside the cabin. Quite a sensible idea, but not very well implemented. The fact is that until 2003, the VAZ-2112 cabin filter was located vertically, but then, for an unknown reason, they decided to install it horizontally. And since the air intake for the ventilation system is carried out through the frill, in case of rain or when visiting a car wash, water flows in a powerful stream into the openings of the air intake grille, abundantly wetting the filter itself. This instantly manifests itself in the form of glass fogging and does not at all contribute to increasing the life of the filter element.

What is the function of the cabin filter?

The cabin air cleaning element is often called a stove filter. It is through this that air enters the cabin. It is necessary not only so that the driver and passengers can breathe fresh air, but also so that the heating equipment can work properly.

Cabin filter location

The cabin filter on the VAZ 2112 is located in the engine compartment. It is located directly behind the power plant on the passenger side.

On cars before 2003, the filter was located vertically. After updating the vehicle, the consumables were placed horizontally. According to reviews from car owners, this design solution turned out to be extremely unsuccessful.

Water constantly gets into the cabin filter, causing it to fail faster. To solve the problem, drivers add additional visors made from a plastic bottle over the consumables.

Types of cabin filters

There is no official classification of products designed to provide high-quality protection of the car interior from dust and other pollutants that are abundantly present in the atmospheric air. However, experts distinguish two large subgroups of cabin filters:

  • conventional dustproof ones, the main task of which is to prevent microparticles of a certain size from entering the cabin;
  • coal, designed, among other things, to prevent external odors and substances harmful to human health that are in a gaseous or suspended aggregate state from penetrating into the car.

Conventional filters are made from special paper or synthetic fibers. The first such car filters were single-layer, but now the de facto standard is the presence of two layers: the first carries out rough cleaning, preventing small twigs, insects and other contaminants of similar sizes from penetrating further. The second layer performs final cleaning of the inlet air flow from fine particles and dust.

The advantage of carbon filters is their ability to resist the penetration of unpleasant odors from outside. This is achieved through the use of certain additives and activated carbon in the third layer. As is known, activated carbon is an excellent adsorber that qualitatively absorbs a wide range of volatile substances. It also does not allow the passage of the smallest particles of soot present in car exhausts, as well as powdered rubber - the result of abrasion of car tire treads on the road surface. A carbon filter can be distinguished from a regular one purely in appearance: it has a darker color, while a regular one is made from white synthetic fiber or special paper.

Domestic car enthusiasts are used to saving on everything they can. Even if he belongs to the category of very disciplined drivers, accustomed to performing all maintenance operations on time. In particular, it is not uncommon to reuse cabin filters after cleaning and washing them. There are also individuals who do not want to spend even 500 rubles on this consumable, preferring to make it from available materials - foam rubber, padding polyester and the like. Such a replacement of the VAZ-2112 cabin filter, as a rule, is characterized by extremely low efficiency - homemade filters retain no more than 20-30% of dust, which makes such an operation pointless.

Replacement frequency

The frequency of replacing the cabin filter is not standardized based on mileage. The filter service interval is directly related to many external factors. On average, replacement of consumables is necessary every 10-20 thousand km. At the same time, there are a number of factors that can shorten the interval, for example, abundant flowering of plants, standing in traffic jams or traveling on dirt roads.

Problems when paying with bank cards

Sometimes difficulties may arise when paying with Visa/MasterCard bank cards. The most common of them:

  1. There is a restriction on the card for paying for online purchases
  2. A plastic card is not intended for making payments online.
  3. The plastic card is not activated for making payments online.
  4. There are not enough funds on the plastic card.

In order to solve these problems, you need to call or write to the technical support of the bank where you are served. Bank specialists will help you resolve them and make payments.
