Replacing the cabin filter Lada X-Ray: instructions, installation, testing

Many car enthusiasts neglect replacing the car's cabin filter, considering this procedure unnecessary.

But if you take a closer look, the filter was created primarily to prevent dust from the street from getting into your lungs.

In addition, if you do not change the filter, it begins to clog, which slows down the air flow and creates additional resistance for the stove fan. Quite often this is why it gets cold in the car in winter.

In this article we will look at a process such as replacing the cabin filter in a Lada XRay car . The manufacturer recommends replacing the cabin filter every 30,000 kilometers, or once a year. In reality, everything depends on the operating conditions of the car.

If you often drive through villages, on dusty roads or in conditions of increased smoke, then it is recommended to reduce the replacement time by at least half - after all, your health depends on it, and this is the most important thing. So, in order to replace the cabin filter of the Lada X-Ray, you will need a TORX T20 key and no more than 30 minutes of time.

Position the vehicle so that the right front door opens freely and perform the following steps:

Remove the trim trim at the bottom left of the glove compartment using a TORX T wrench. Remove the filter cover by pressing the latches.

Carefully remove the filter without spilling accumulated dust into the interior of the air ducts.

To install a new filter, squeeze it with your hand and push it into the hole - it will straighten out inside.

Reinstall the cabin filter cover. Screw the decorative panel into place.

If for some reason access to the cabin filter is difficult, you can remove the glove compartment lid. To do this, remove the right trim (near the door) and, opening the glove compartment, unscrew three bolts (two on top and one on the left). Then disconnect the light bulb and remove the cover - this will free up a lot of space and make access to the cabin filter easier.

Replacing the cabin filter on Lada XRAY: 1.6, 1.8, video

Replacing the cabin filter on a Lada X-Ray is a planned procedure. It’s easy to do it on your own, just follow the instructions. Many work immediately according to a video or regular instructions, some drivers go to a service station, watch how the work is done, and then carry out the necessary operations themselves. It is not necessary to remove the glove compartment, but it will make maintenance easier.

Why and when do you need to change the cabin filter?

The need for a salon attendant is clear even to a schoolchild. The quality of air purification, elimination of microbes and unpleasant odors largely depends on the type of filter. The highest quality option is coal, but others are also suitable for solving current problems.

Important! Regularly changing filters is the key to a healthy atmosphere inside the car.

The average time to replace a cabin cleaner is 15 thousand km, that is, the old element is removed and a new one is installed every service. The failure of the filter can be judged by the deterioration in the quality of air masses and the appearance of foreign odors.

The more often the cabin filter is replaced, the cleaner the air will be, and the longer the heater and air conditioner will last.

In the video on replacing the cabin filter of the Lada X-Ray, they usually say that the service interval is 15 thousand mileage. But these are average data - if the quality of the roads is poor, other operating conditions are unfavorable, the filtration element will sooner cease to perform its main functions. In this case, the service time is halved.

Important! Professionals recommend replacing the old element with a new one at least twice a year. When servicing your car in the spring, it would be better to install a carbon element - it copes with unpleasant odors and allergens.

In summer, when there is increased dust, pollution occurs much faster. Frequent exposure to traffic jams is harmful to the filter. In autumn, leaves and twigs often get into the air ducts. You should be alert to such symptoms as a drop in the power of the ventilation system, an increase in the level of air humidity in the cabin, and noise when the fan is turned on at maximum speed.

How to choose the right filter

To replace the cabin filter of Lada X-Ray 1 8, you need to choose the right new element. The original is the best solution, but it is expensive. When selecting an analogue, you must follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. Dimensions requirements:

• 216 mm length;
• 200 mm width;
• 35 mm height.

Deviations of a few millimeters are acceptable, there is nothing to worry about.

The manufacturer's recommended article number is 272773016R (dust model) or 272773151R (charcoal type). Sometimes the article numbers at dealerships are different; this point can be clarified with the manager.

Important! Carbon filters are better than dust filters, but they are also more expensive. The accordion in such models purifies the air better.

GodWill, Corteco - the optimal alternative to original elements. You can also choose other manufacturers.

Compliance with dimensions is very important

Where is the cabin filter located?

To replace the filter in the cabin of the Lada X Ray 1 6, you must first remove the old element. It is located under the instrument panel. It is advisable to remove the glove compartment, although some craftsmen carry out work without touching it. There are usually no difficulties with performing the procedure.

At a service station, the replacement procedure costs from 700 rubles, you can do everything yourself in literally 20 minutes

Replacing the cabin filter on Lada Xray

When replacing an old filter with a new one, you can follow the manufacturer's recommendations or the following simple instructions. To make the procedure easier, it would be better to move the front passenger seat all the way back. The plug is located immediately behind the center console and is accessible. You need to squeeze the tabs with a little force and the plugs will move forward. The cover must be pulled towards you.

Further:

1. Pull the filtration element from below until it disengages at the top. The filter is larger and the hole is smaller. It is advisable to work according to the accordion scheme.
2. Clean the installation cavity from dirt. It is optimal to use a vacuum cleaner with a narrow, comfortable attachment, but other options are also suitable. For example, high-power airflow will clean the cavity, but will require cleaning the interior.

3. Attach the new filter element to the cavity in the reverse order. First you need to insert the entire top of the filtration element, then push through the lower part.

4. Place the cover in place until you hear a characteristic click. The latches may break in the area of ​​the plug. In this case, you can mount it using a pair of self-tapping screws; there are already working holes there.

When installing, you need to look at the arrows that are located on one side of the filter. They indicate the direction of movement of air masses. As the filtration element is removed, debris falls onto the mat. You will need to vacuum the interior and the stove body.

On cars with pre-installed air conditioners, filter replacement is usually combined with cleaning. There are many aerosols on sale for treating (including disinfecting) honeycombs.

You will need to insert a flexible nozzle into the filter mounting holes. The working composition will first distribute itself evenly over the surface of the radiator, and then begin to flow into the drain.

It is enough to wait 10-15 minutes and secure the new filtration element.

Conclusion

Replacing the cabin filter on a Lada X-Ray is a mandatory regular procedure. The old element is sometimes cleaned, but this does not give the desired results. The work is simple, they are usually done independently. The element is located under the glove compartment.

At a service station, the procedure is paid; doing it yourself is much more profitable. Filtration elements are installed with dust or carbon; the second option is more expensive, but is more preferable.

If possible, element replacement is combined with antibacterial treatment of the system (a special composition is required).

When to change, what interior to install

According to the technical maintenance regulations, the cabin filter on the Lada X-Ray is replaced at least once a year. Or during every scheduled maintenance, that is, every 15 thousand kilometers.

However, when used on Russian roads, within the period specified in the regulations, the cabin filter becomes quite clogged and ceases to perform its functions. Therefore, to ensure normal filtration, owners recommend cutting the time frame for replacing the cabin filter by half.

The ideal option is to change the Lada X-Ray cabin filter twice a year, once in the winter season, and once before the summer season. In the spring and summer, it is better to install coal, as it copes more effectively with various allergens and unpleasant odors. And in autumn and winter, ordinary dust is enough.

Although the service book indicates specific terms for replacing the filter element, it is often recommended to carry out the replacement earlier, that is, not according to regulations, but as needed. The basis for replacement are signs of filter contamination:

• When the car is used in the summer on dusty road sections, the filter element becomes much more clogged with fine dust, as a result of which replacement may be required earlier.
• With frequent idle time in traffic jams, the element becomes clogged with small particles of exhaust soot, as a result of which it may appear relatively clean in appearance, but at the same time the surface acquires a gray color, indicating severe contamination, and permeability is reduced to almost zero.
• In the fall, leaves can get into the air ducts - even a small amount can become a breeding ground for millions of bacteria that cause an unpleasant odor. It is quite difficult to get rid of it; you will need not only replacing the filter element, but also completely cleaning the box.
• Increased air humidity in the cabin (window fogging).
• Reduced ventilation and heating system power.
• Noise appears when ventilation is turned on to maximum.

Suitable sizes

When choosing a filter element, owners do not always use products recommended by the car manufacturer. Everyone has their own reasons for this, some say that the original is unreasonably expensive. Some people in the region sell only analogues, so there is a need to know the sizes by which you can subsequently make a selection:

• Height: 35 mm
• Width: 200 mm
• Length: 216 mm

As a rule, sometimes analogues for Lada Xray can be a few millimeters larger or smaller than the original, there is nothing wrong with that. And if the difference is measured in centimeters, then of course it’s worth looking for another option.

Selecting an original cabin filter

The manufacturer recommends using exclusively original consumables, which, in general, is not surprising. They themselves are of good quality and are widely available in car dealerships, but their price may seem overpriced to many car owners.

Regardless of the configuration, on all Lada X-Rays, the manufacturer recommends installing a cabin air filter with article number 272773016R (dust) or 272773151R (carbon). They are also known under other articles, there are no differences in them, and they are interchangeable:

• 272770567R
• 272777764R
• 272778214R
• 272779683R
• 272889739R

It is worth noting that sometimes consumables and other spare parts may be supplied to dealerships under different part numbers. Which can sometimes confuse those who want to purchase an original product.

When choosing between a dust and carbon product, car owners are advised to use a carbon filter element. This filter is more expensive, but it cleans the air much better.

It is easy to distinguish - the paper filter accordion is impregnated with a carbon composition, and therefore has a dark gray color. The filter cleans the air flow from dust, fine dirt, germs, bacteria and enhances the protection of your lungs.

Which analogues to choose

In addition to simple cabin filters, there are also carbon filters that filter the air more effectively, but they are more expensive. The advantage of coal SF is that it does not allow foreign odors coming from the road (street) to penetrate into the car interior.

But this filter element also has a drawback - air does not pass through it well. GodWill and Corteco carbon filters are of fairly high quality and are a good replacement for the original.

However, in some retail outlets the price of the original Lada X-Ray cabin filter may be greatly inflated. In this case, it makes sense to purchase a non-original consumable item. In particular, cabin filters are considered quite popular:

Conventional dust cabin filters

• MANN-FILTER CU22011 – high-tech consumables from a well-known manufacturer
• BIG FILTER GB-9978 – popular brand, good fine cleaning
• Nevsky filter NF6433 – Russian manufacturer with an affordable price

Carbon cabin filters

• MANN-FILTER CUK22011 – high-quality and thick carbon coating
• BIG FILTER GB-9978/C – activated carbon
• Nevsky filter NF6433C – normal quality, affordable price

It makes sense to take a closer look at the products of other companies - they also specialize in the production of high-quality consumables for passenger cars:

• Corteco
• Filtron
• SCT
• Sakura
• GoodWill
• Fram
• JS Asakashi
• Champion
• Zekkert
• Masuma
• Nipparts
• Purflux
• Knecht Mahle

It is quite possible that sellers may recommend replacing the Xray cabin filter with non-original cheap substitutes with a much smaller thickness. They are not worth buying, since their filtering characteristics are unlikely to be at the proper level.

Replacing the cabin filter Lada Xray

AVTOVAZ strongly recommends replacing the cabin air filter on the LADA XRAY every 30,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first.

During long-term operation of the Lada Xray in difficult conditions (heavy gas pollution, dust, etc.), the cabin air filter should be replaced 2-3 times more often.

We also recommend that you read

Like on the Lada Vesta, in the Lada XRAY the cabin filter is located in the housing of the heating, air conditioning and ventilation unit , the design of which we told you about earlier. To gain access to it, you do not need to remove the frill (wind cover), as on other Lada cars. Just follow the instructions:

1. Remove the tunnel lining on the front passenger side by removing the screws;
2. Remove the glove compartment lid (if necessary).
3. Look under the panel. Remove the cabin filter cover (No. 2) by squeezing the clips (No. 3).

In order to remove the air filter element from the heater body, pull it down by its lower edge (the hole in the body is smaller than the size of the filter). Then you need to clean the seat from dust and debris.

Installation of the Lada Xray cabin filter is carried out in the reverse order, observing the markings indicating the direction of the air.

Self-installation of a large air filter on Lada Vesta

Attempts by LADA Vesta owners to increase engine power and make its operation more flexible do not stop. Particularly valued are methods that do not require significant processing and costs, not to mention chip tuning, to which the attitude is ambiguous.

Finalization

And now, another way has appeared - a cold intake and a large air filter on the Lada Vesta, the same as the one on the Sport modification. The peculiarity of this method is that it is suitable for both engines of the model - 1.6 and 1.8 liters.

Lada Vesta Sport has an enlarged air filter created specifically for this version. In addition, this modification has a different air intake location - it is located next to the left headlight behind the radiator grille.

Components

The entire Lada Vesta Sport air filter kit consists of a number of elements. Their names and articles are presented in the table.

Alternative

However, one of the owners of Vesta, whose name is Evgeniy and is known on Drive under the nickname gps-nav, found an alternative way of installing a large air filter on the Lada Vesta, which is several times cheaper. It involves purchasing components from different cars and their subsequent modification.

Elements:

• filter element - Filtron AP 074/3 is suitable - 330 rubles;
• air filter housing from the Ford Mondeo 3 model – 600 rubles – can be purchased under article number 4609885902;
• air filter pipe from the VAZ 2111 model – 700 rubles;
• sewer pipe 75 mm and sewer bends 90° and 67° – 220 rubles;
• fitting - 30 rubles;
• plastic ties (2 units) and a metal clamp (2 units).

After all the listed components have been purchased, you can begin work.

Work progress

Self-installation of a large air filter on a Lada Vesta begins with modification of the housing itself. First of all, it is necessary to solder the factory hole through which air is taken in.

Next you need to solder the purchased pipe. You can do this in different ways - using epoxy resin, soldering a metal mesh, using a stapler, etc. But in general, soldering using a metal mesh provides the most durable fixation.

Next you need to connect the sewer pipes and outlets.

To prevent the connector from interfering with the installation of the filter housing, it must be recessed and secured with a tie.

Then you need to move the car’s battery to the right and back until it stops, since otherwise it will interfere with the installation of the large air filter housing on the Vesta.

The case itself needs to be tightly fixed, and to do this, place it in such a way that the rear legs rest on the corrugation with wires.

This completes the independent installation of a large air filter on the Lada Vesta.

Effect

If you consider the reviews of the owners who went through with this modification, it becomes clear that the effect is quite noticeable. They note that the engine begins to “breathe”, and not only at the bottom, but also works more vigorously after 3,000 rpm.

The engine revs noticeably easier up to 5,000 rpm. Those who often drive in traffic jams claim that the car has stopped shaking in traffic jams.

In general, installing a large air filter on your Lada Vesta yourself is completely worth it, especially if you don’t buy branded products.

Other options

Below are modification options from other West owners, using several other components. All details can be viewed in their logbooks.

Option from Ivan Kiselyov. On Drive under the nickname BAHO and his car Lada Vesta *Blues Sky*

Option from Alexander. On Drive under the nickname MiheyA and his car Lada Vesta sedan 1.8 AMT

Replacing the cabin filter on Lada Vesta and XRAY

January 11, 2016 Lada.Online 56,095

The manufacturer recommends changing the cabin air filter on Vesta and XRAY every 15,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. When operating a car in harsh conditions (heavy gas pollution, dust, etc.), the cabin filter should be replaced 2-3 times more often.

On Vesta and XRAY, the cabin filter (catalog number 272773016R) is located in the housing of the heating, air conditioning and ventilation unit. To gain access to it, you do not need to remove the frill (wind cover), as on other Lada cars.

Instructions for Lada Vesta

Procedure

:

1. (optional) remove the glove compartment cover (you don’t have to remove it if you feel the tunnel lining clamps (from step 2) with your hand, putting your hand behind the shield on the engine side);
2. Remove the tunnel lining on the front passenger side by unscrewing the screw and unclipping the fasteners at the top.

Look under the panel. Remove the cabin filter cover (No. 2) by squeezing the clips (No. 3).

To remove the filter element from the heater housing, pull it down by its lower edge (the hole in the housing is smaller than the dimensions of the cabin filter). Clean the seat from dust and debris (for example, dried leaves). Installing the cabin filter is carried out in the reverse order, observing the markings indicating the direction of the air.

The replacement process is also shown in the video:

Instructions for Lada XRAY

There is no need to remove the tunnel lining and the glove compartment lid.

Procedure

:

1. Remove cover 2, Figure 11-1, of the filter element by squeezing the latches 3 and pulling them.
2. Grasp the lower edge of the filter element 2, Figure 11-2, pull it and, with a slight downward movement, remove the filter element from the housing 1 of the heating, air conditioning and ventilation system unit.

The more convenient location of the filter makes replacing it faster and easier than before. Let us remind you that in order to extend the service life of this filter, it is recommended to install a mesh filter on the air intake.

Replacement frequency

We must not forget that the cabin filter is a consumable with a limited service life. The operating manual and the Vesta service regulations indicate an interval of 30 thousand kilometers. Allegedly, it is with this frequency that the interior fittings need to be changed.

But the experience of car owners clearly proves that the figure is not even close to reality. Even the highest quality filter cannot withstand 30 thousand kilometers under normal operating conditions. If we add here the constant passage of road dust, smog, exhaust gases, pollen and other pollutants through the air ducts, the interval is reduced by at least 2 times.

Most Lada Vesta owners prefer to change the cabin air filter after a maximum of 15 thousand kilometers. When a car is often forced to drive on dusty roads, the resource of consumables is limited to 7-10 thousand kilometers.

The best thing for a car owner to do is to monitor the condition of the element and replace it if signs of wear appear. Moreover, it is better to do this at the first symptoms, and not wait for development and active manifestation.

The following signs indicate that a mandatory replacement of the Lada Vesta cabin filter is necessary:

• The temperature inside the cabin begins to change. Since the purifier has already completely exhausted its resource, the heating and air conditioning system loses capacity and cannot push air through the clogged filter. Therefore, in the summer when the air conditioner is turned on, it is still hot, and in the winter it is not warm enough.
• There is an excessive amount of dust in the cabin. Yes, it can enter through open windows and doors. But when you turn on the heater or air conditioner, all the air in the cabin penetrates through the air ducts, colliding with the filter. And since the main task of the filter is to protect against dust, when it penetrates inside the car, we can accurately talk about the depletion of the resource. Need a replacement.
• Dirt and dust actively accumulate on the glass from the inside. Another characteristic sign that the cleaner is not doing its job.
• Unpleasant smell. Reminds dampness or mustiness. Almost the most objective factor indicating the need to replace a consumable.
• Rapid fogging of windows. If the windows are all closed, the air conditioner, stove or just ventilation is running, but moisture accumulates on the glass in the form of fogging, it’s definitely time to say goodbye to the filter.
• Weak air flows through the deflectors. It does not matter whether the air is hot or cold when you turn on the air conditioner or stove. It always passes through the filter first and then exits into the cabin. When the fan spins at medium or maximum speed, but the air flow is weak, the filter is probably clogged. It does not allow air flow.

The cabin filter on Vesta is directly connected to the ventilation, air conditioning and heating systems of the cabin. Without changing consumables, you increase the likelihood of failure of components of these systems.

All about the cabin filter and when it should be changed

Almost all modern cars have a cabin air filter, as it is very important and performs many important functions.
Some car enthusiasts have no idea where it is located and how often it requires replacement. With the help of an air filter, the air is purified, as a result of which clean air enters the car, and all dust, sand and soot, is retained in the filter along with other impurities and harmful substances that are in the air. Such a filter is simply irreplaceable for those people who suffer from allergies, because it is completely cleaned of foreign substances.

Replacing the LADA XRAY cabin filter in St. Petersburg

Many motorists neglect the rule of replacing the air filter (hereinafter referred to as the air filter) in a timely manner, as a result of which fuel consumption increases and power decreases.

AvtoVAZ engineers recommend replacing the cleaning element (hereinafter referred to as the Element) every 45,000 km - every third service. If the owner drives less than the specified mileage, then two years from the date of installation of the purifier are considered as an alternative.

The process of replacing an element yourself is not at all difficult, but it requires care on the part of the repairman. Violation of the regulations is unacceptable. If difficulties arise during preventive maintenance, seek help from service station specialists.

Replacing the Lada Vesta air filter

Its body is located immediately behind the battery. The cover is held in place by two latches, which should be pryed off with a screwdriver. It is better to warm up the engine to reduce the likelihood of clamps breaking - warm plastic is less fragile.

Now you can pull the cover towards you and remove the filter cassette. This must be done carefully so that dust does not fall into the inlet channel.

When you remove the air cleaner element, thoroughly clean the holder and the inner walls of the box. You can use a vacuum cleaner for this.

All that remains is to insert the new air filter and place the cassette in place so that the latches snap into place.

It is not recommended to try to clean out the old item and install it again.
