➤ replacing the air filter for Lada Vesta 1.6

The process of independently replacing the Lada Vesta air filter is a feasible task for a driver even without experience and skills.

Main steps for replacement:

Place the car at the repair site.
Open the hood, press the plastic guides on the sides of the body.
Remove the cleaning element, replace it with a new one, and reassemble the structure in the reverse order.

Consequences of untimely filter change

The consequences of not changing the filter do not appear immediately, and the car will continue to drive for some time. The first signs will be a drop in traction levels and an increase in fuel consumption. Due to increased gasoline consumption, black soot will form on the spark plugs. This will damage the spark plugs and require them to be replaced. And at one point your LADA Vesta will stop starting and will not be able to take you where you need to go. And often this happens when you need to hurry, when urgent matters await. So it’s better to follow the instructions provided by the factory, change worn components on time and not take risks. And it wouldn’t hurt to replace the oil filter; we have an article about this on our website.

Replacing the Lada Vesta air filter

The new VAZ can be equipped with 1.6 and 1.8 liter petrol engines. The designers decided to leave the filters the same as for foreign cars, which avoided confusion (if the Vesta is not serviced at a dealer). This filter can be replaced by anyone who has the slightest understanding of what is under the hood. For those who do not understand, but want to understand, there is a lot of literature that “chews” the work process. The manufacturer prescribes changing the filter after 30,000 km (15 when operating in dusty areas), but inspection must be carried out 3-4 times more often. This is easy to do: on a Lada Vesta car, the air filter is located in a black plastic box on the right side of the engine.

Advice: it is better to open the case when the engine is warm.

The lid latches are made of brittle plastic and may break. To open the box, use a thin screwdriver to pry up 2 latches and pull out the cleaning element without disconnecting it from the lid

Is the filter damaged or heavily soiled? Change it urgently! No normal specialist can recommend vacuuming and blowing with a compressor, then putting it back in place and moving on (we don’t take into account emergency cases like “getting to the garage/shop”)

Recommendations for selection

Service center specialists strongly advise purchasing consumables with original factory catalog numbers. However, the high price of the “original” is not affordable for every car enthusiast. Therefore, they are forced to look for cheap but high-quality analogues.

Always check the integrity of the packaging, the presence of protective holograms, and quality certificates. If anything is in doubt, it is better to refuse the purchase.

Conclusion

The process of replacing the cleaning element is simple, but requires care on the part of the repairman. Prevention will take no more than 10 minutes.

It is not necessary to contact a service station, but provided that there are no major breakdowns that require the prompt intervention of a specialist. Observe replacement intervals, buy original consumables.

Reviews are positive and negative

№	Positive
1.	Dmitry , 38 years old, insurance company employee, owner of Lada Vesta: I have been actively using the car for several years, there have been no major breakdowns. I eliminate imperfections, roughness, and defects myself. Recently I replaced consumables and filters. I always buy originals, even if they are 20–25% more expensive than analogues, but they are of high quality.
2.	Kirill , 43 years old, sales consultant: the car is only a year old, it works properly. I visit service stations at strictly scheduled times for diagnostics, troubleshooting, and replacement of worn-out elements. I share the position of the masters; I buy only original parts.
3.	Vladislav , 29 years old, private entrepreneur: I cover up to 20,000 km in a month, spend a lot of time traveling to sign contracts. I don’t have any energy left to work on the car, so I use the services of a service station and visit them periodically for preventive maintenance. Recently replaced the air filter. I didn’t buy the original, it’s expensive, a high-quality analogue is 30% cheaper.
4.	Georgy , 45 years old, driver: for the second year in a row I have been driving on Vesta. The car is good, I won’t talk too much about it. Imported spare parts are expensive, I replace them with domestic analogues.
5.	Vadim , 39 years old, service station foreman: over the full five years of working in the workshop, I have seen a lot of equipment, I know the strengths and weaknesses. I looked at cars for a long time, and in the end I chose the Lada Vesta. I'm happy with the purchase, no complaints. I successfully replace imported parts and consumables with domestic analogues.
6.	Vitaly , 36 years old, manager: after the purchase he drove over 30,000 km. The workshop indicated the need to replace the air element. I don’t understand manufacturers, I entrusted the choice to a specialist. I bought a filter from Renault Duster, it turned out that they are identical.
7.	Gennady , 29 years old, employee of an IT company: every week I devote time to my car and carry out diagnostics. Somewhere I add oil, fluid, tighten the timing belt. There are no major damage, but there are plenty of little things. I also change consumables myself; I often buy domestic analogues rather than originals. I think that it is not advisable to overpay for a brand.
8.	Vyacheslav , 33 years old, household appliance repairman: my Vesta is already three years old, during which time I have made no capital investments, except for scheduled maintenance. The car is solid, the quality is noticeable in comparison with the Granta and Priora.
9.	Slavik , 38 years old, company manager: my positive review of the Patron 5459837 air filter, which I recently bought in a store. The manager recommended and pointed out numerous positive reviews. I'm happy with the choice, the car starts from a half-turn, the engine runs stably.
10.	Kirill , 45 years old, banker: I use the car to travel to work - from work, sometimes out of town, to go fishing. The mileage per month is small, I carry out scheduled maintenance regularly, there have been no major breakdowns.
Negative
11.	Dmitry , 39 years old, private entrepreneur: the model is new, but the defects remain from previous versions. Many defects, frequent breakdowns due to small things. Some of the spare parts are foreign-made in the original design. In order not to overpay, I buy Russian brands that are not of inferior quality.
12.	Vladislav , 48 years old, pensioner: I use the car for fishing trips, out of town for recreation. In general, the model is good, but unforeseen situations and breakdowns occur. I get service from a service station and buy original parts. Sometimes it's difficult for the budget.
13.	Victor , 39 years old, manager: a year has passed since the purchase of the car, and I have already visited the workshop twice unscheduled to eliminate defects. Nothing serious, but an unpleasant feeling from the build quality.
14.	Konstantin , 41 years old, medical worker: I bought the car second-hand, now I regret it, it’s better to get a new Granta. The factory warranty has expired, the car is starting to fall apart and requires investment. Original spare parts are expensive, you have to look for high-quality substitutes.
15.	Stanislav , 35 years old, head of a security company: after the Lada Granta Vesta, this is something unearthly, a good car. Breakdowns happen from time to time, so I go to a workshop for repairs.

Let's start replacing the LADA VESTA cabin filter.

To access the cabin filter of new LADA models, you no longer need to remove the frill and crawl under the hood. All manipulations must be carried out inside your car:

1. It is necessary to remove the right tunnel lining using a TORX T-20 wrench and unscrew the fastening screw.

2. You may need to remove the glove compartment lid. To do this, remove the side panel trim.

2.1 Take the TORX T-20 key in your hands and unscrew the screws securing the glove compartment (2 screws are located at the bottom, and 3 at the top).

2.2 Now we need to pull the glove compartment towards us. This must be done carefully, since it is also necessary to disconnect the connector for the glove compartment lighting. After the connector is disconnected, completely pull out the glove compartment and set it aside.

3. Next, remove the cabin filter plug. To remove it, you need to squeeze two plastic latches.

4. Take out the filter. To do this, it must be slightly compressed in the vertical plane.

5. Before installing a new cabin filter, you need to clean the seat.

6. We perform assembly in reverse order.

So we learned how to replace the LADA VESTA cabin filter with our own hands.

The recommendation of the manufacturer of cars such as Lada Vesta states that the air filter must be changed every 30,000 kilometers. For owners of previous VAZ models, this interval does not seem unfamiliar, since on the same Priora or Kalina it was exactly the same. But you should not strictly adhere to this recommendation, since under different operating conditions, filter contamination may be different.

If Vesta is used frequently in rural areas, especially with mostly dirt roads, it can be replaced at least every 10 thousand km, since even during this period the filter element will be quite heavily contaminated
And vice versa - in urban mode, where there is practically no dust and dirt, it is quite reasonable to consider the manufacturer’s recommendations and change it once every 30 thousand km.

If earlier you needed at least some tools to perform this repair, now you don’t need anything at all. Everything is done with your own hands without the use of unnecessary equipment.

Install the engine fender

And spring returns. And again you can do something with the car.

Recently, in principle, there have been no adventures, only problems: - I noticed that the seat heating stopped working, despite the headlights being on; — the right support post was condemned again. They will switch places in pairs again. I'll have a detailed post when the shelves arrive.

Also in the summer I installed an air filter from Vesta Sport.

Tools: — Fixed wrench 10 — Phillips screwdriver — pliers — Torx wrench t30

For details, we needed: - 6 bolts M6 30 for fastening the two halves of the air filter (photos of individual parts taken from the Internet) - 2 terminals d 70-90 - upper semi-trailer - 8450032859

Replacement process 1) Remove the battery, otherwise the original suction system will not survive. 2) Unscrew 2 bolts securing the resonator and 1 bolt of the air filter housing (torx t30)

I’ve only been driving for one day and so far the feelings and impressions are as follows. 1) The vibration at idle has almost completely disappeared. I used to feel confident both through the steering wheel and through the pedals, sometimes it even seemed like the car was being undermined. Now I would say that work has become completely normal. There is a slight, uniform vibration, but this is only a shadow of what happened yesterday. 2) There may already be a “placebo”. The feeling that the ride has become smoother is especially noticeable when moving into an inclined position. It seems like something is missing. 3) It could also be a “placebo”. It is possible that the engine has become quieter, but it is also possible that this is a consequence of strong heating up to 20 degrees and the fact that the engine starts immediately from operating speeds, and not from an increase, as at lower temperatures.

So far, using filters, I have found the following articles: - Lada - 8450032860 (apparently there is a FILTRON inside) - Filter - AP139 / 1 - VAG - 6K0129620B (I ordered it, but the quality turned out to be “so-so”) - MANN - C37132 - hits the basics like an analogue and For some reason there have already been 4 supplier refusals. I'm still waiting and really hoping that there will be something healthier than VAG's.

I would be grateful if someone suggests another analogue, but of acceptable quality (at least with the same fluffy pillow)

Other news: I bought a Lada console lamp for the last row in white (art. 99996350000016). At first it didn't work, but after a few hours of charging it came to life. Shines moderately bright. Enough for rear passengers (and most importantly, they don’t drive often).

UPDATE On xomastorm I also found such a sign on the filters

Replacing the cabin filter on Lada Vesta

Below we will consider when to change the cabin filter correctly, what is required for this, and what components are best to use.

Briefly about the purpose

The cabin filter is an element necessary to filter dust and dirt passing through the air flow from the outside. Such products are installed at the manufacturer’s factory, and are later replaced at a service station or by the car owner.

Common replacement options are a dust or carbon filter element. The latter provides a “deeper” cleaning from phenols and benzenes. The disadvantage of a carbon filter is its higher price.

Replacing the cabin filter of Lada Vesta 1.6 is simplified by the fact that the necessary element is located inside. This means “finishing” work, but with the dismantling of some parts.

Experts distinguish two options - with removing the glove compartment or without performing this work. The second method is preferable because it requires less time. For the purity of the “experiment” we will consider both ways.

Timing for replacing the cabin filter on Lada Vesta

Replacing the cabin filter on a Lada Vesta, provided that a high-quality part is installed, is needed after 15-20 thousand kilometers. Car developers set more flexible deadlines - 30 thousand kilometers.

But the manufacturer clarifies that its recommendation implies operating the vehicle in conditions of minimal air pollution.

In current realities, it is almost impossible to achieve this state, because in urban or rural conditions the level of dust is very high. That’s why it’s better not to delay the work and make a replacement after 10-15 thousand.

Signs of a malfunctioning cabin filter on Lada Vesta

In order not to waste time and money, it is important to identify the problem in time. Many car owners wait until the Lada Vesta service to replace the cabin filter.

This approach allows you to increase the time of use of the part and money. But in some circumstances it is better not to take risks and do the work right away.

Replacing the cabin filter on a Lada Vesta with and without air conditioning is necessary when a number of symptoms appear.

Let's highlight the main ones:

1. Deterioration in airflow quality when the corresponding function or heating system is activated. The malfunction is diagnosed by poor operation of the stove, which does not produce the required portion of warm air flow. In such a situation, the cause of the malfunction may not only be the filter element. Sometimes cleaning the air intake is enough to fix the problem.

2. The appearance of unpleasant “odors” in the cabin. The main sign indicating that the filter in the Lada Vesta is dirty is a stench when you turn on the blower or heating. This indicates that the filter device does not perform direct functions of air purification. To avoid illness or other consequences, a failed part must be replaced.

3. A layer of dust on the “tidy”. This is another sign that the cabin filter is not doing its job.

4. Fogging of windows. This symptom indicates a deterioration in the quality of the ventilation system, which is often caused by a dirty filter.

Consequences

If you ignore the problem, dust, small rubber elements, exhaust gases, harmful bacteria and other dangerous elements will enter the cabin, and then into the lungs of the driver and passengers.

In addition, contamination of the cabin filter is fraught with problems in vehicle operation:

1. The air flow deteriorates, which leads to a high load on the heating system. The motor operates at the peak of its capabilities, and this is fraught with overheating and failure. To change the stove, you will have to spend more time and money. It is not always possible to cope on your own, so you have to involve experts in the work.

2. Dust that accumulates on the air conditioner evaporator collects water. As a result, optimal conditions are created for the development of rust and the proliferation of dangerous microorganisms.

What to change for

Before starting work, you need to select and buy a cabin filter suitable for the Lada Vesta. The manufacturer supplies the simplest dust version (made of paper).

To install a similar part, it is important to know the catalog number (the original from the factory is Renault 272773016R). If desired, you can install another analogue or spend money on a higher quality carbon filter element

What's wrong with the Vesta Sport air filter. Flaws

All the advantages that were listed above are smashed into rubbish by the headless design of a banal plastic case. If you are not ready to make serious modifications to the case, it is better not to buy or install it.

The first and most important flaw in the Lada Sport filter housing is leakage. As you know, an air filter is needed in order to filter out the smallest particles of silicon (read: dust).

Vesta Sport air filter layout diagram – stock (1) and modified (2)

50 grams of powdered silicon (ordinary dust) that gets into the intake manifold is enough to destroy the piston, camshaft beds and crankshaft liners over an area of about 100-150 km.

However, the stock Vesta filter, if it differs in size by at least 3-5 mm from the factory one, does not make any sense.

Unpurified air is sucked into the cracks, which wears out the engine many times faster than specified by the manufacturer.

Lada Vesta Cross (lada vesta cross)

The same story, as practice shows, awaits the filter from Vesta Sport. Here's the thing. The resonator has been removed from the air supply system, and a filter housing is located in its place. The case consists of two parts, connected by six screws. According to the engineers, a filter element should be attached between the upper and lower parts.

But it is not firmly attached,

bends and irregularities
can be observed along the entire perimeter of the seal Thus, from the lower part of the housing through cracks and leaks,
dirty air freely enters the cylinders
. This doesn't mean anything good. Let's remember about dust.

The tightness of the filter element installation requires serious improvement.
Desperate tuners print special frames on 3D printers to press the filter element to the body and ensure tightness. Those who do not have printers cut out frames from stainless steel, strictly observing the dimensions, all for the same purpose - to ensure tightness. A logically justified question arises: what are we fighting for?

Practice has shown that for a
1.6 liter
a sports filter
is absolutely useless
. This is evidenced by measurement figures and research by enthusiasts. No changes in the performance of the 1.6 liter engine were recorded. Apart from the placebo effect, of course.

In this place, near the left headlight, the air directly enters the filter housing.
Possibly with water Possibility of water hammer

increases significantly, since air enters the intake manifold directly from under the radiator grille, right next to the left headlight.
The intake tract, in the case of installing a sports intake system, is reduced in duration by almost three times, so water
(especially if the filter shrinkage is leaking)
has direct access to the throttle space
, that is, directly into the cylinders.

How much does a filter cost on Vesta - analogues

Advanced car owners know that original spare parts are more expensive than those with similar characteristics due to the “stamp” of the automaker. Manufacturers of spare parts and consumables for motor vehicles produce exact copies of parts installed on the assembly line, but for some reasons they set the price slightly lower than the products sold by dealers. Their characteristics are no worse (we don’t recommend taking the cheapest ones made in China, but it’s worth considering analogues from branded companies). At a similar cost to original components, few people will buy “non-original” ones, because it is not profitable to fool one’s head. In some cases, replacement parts will be even better quality than those installed by the factory and supplied to dealer services. We consider it useful to name the most popular replacements for Vesta filter elements from third-party manufacturers along with catalog numbers (next to the names):

Standard manifold (receiver) – article number and price

The intake manifold of the Lada Vesta, which is called the “intake module,” is known under catalog number 21177-1008-600-00. It is sold assembled, its average market price is from 4,000 to 5,000 rubles.

The release module is not sold assembled; you will have to assemble it yourself from:

exhaust pipe assembly (article 21129-1203008-01, 21129-1203008-00, cost from 20,000 rubles), exhaust manifold gaskets (21124-1008089-00, cost 400-500 rubles), M8x35 studs (catalog number 00001- 003543721), flat washers 8x17 (catalog number 00001-000519601), nuts M8x1.25 (catalog number 00001-006100811).

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.

Stages of replacing the cabin filter on Vesta

We will need

flat and Phillips screwdrivers
Key T-20 (asterisk)

Using a T-20 sprocket, unscrew the side screw securing the decorative cover

and using a regular screwdriver, carefully pry it up and remove it. (remove the cover slowly without breaking the plastic latches)

Now, using a flat screwdriver, carefully remove the plastic decorative side panel

Using the T-20 sprocket, unscrew the lower screws securing the glove compartment, as well as the 2 upper ones

Next, disconnect the backlight plug and move the glove compartment to the side

On the left we will see the filter housing closed with a lid. By pressing the latches we remove it

We take out the old filter and install a new one.

When installing the filter, pay attention to the arrow on the filter itself; it should be directed to the rear of the car, that is, in the direction of the wind flow. When installing a new filter, you need to bend it slightly to fit it into the housing hole.

When installing a new filter, you need to bend it slightly to fit it into the hole in the housing.

We reassemble in reverse order.

According to technical regulations, the air filter in Lada Vesta must be replaced every 30 thousand kilometers. When operating a car in bad weather conditions, the filter should be changed every 15 thousand kilometers. A clogged air filter affects engine life and power. The air passes through it worse, therefore the engine power decreases.

Which filter is installed from the factory?

The manufacturer equips Vesta with the original Lada filter 165460509R, its cost is about 800-900 rubles. However, if its cost seems too high to you, you can install cheaper analogues:

Pilenga FAP2180 price from 400 rub.
Ekofil EKO01200 price from 300 rub.

A regular non-charcoal filter is installed from the factory.

Instructions for replacing the air filter on Lada Vesta

Open the hood and see the air filter housing on the right side behind the battery.

Using a screwdriver, pry up the two latches of the cover and remove it.

Next, carefully remove the holder along with the filter.

We clean the housing and the holder itself from dust and install a new filter element.

We reassemble in reverse order.

Tips for operating the air filter on Vesta

The old used filter must be disposed of; blowing it out and installing it back is not recommended.
Replace the filter in accordance with the technical regulations or earlier, do not neglect the rules
It is not necessary to use only the original filter; analogues also perform their functions perfectly.

Analogs

Judging by the reviews of car enthusiasts, it is not necessary to buy an expensive imported model; it is enough to supply goods from a domestic manufacturer. Analogues also cope well with the task.

The most common analogues:

model from the company BM-MOTORSPORT - BM FA2180 with a cost of up to 200 rubles. This inexpensive copy is in no way inferior to the original Vesta filter;
Pilenga FAP2180 is next in the price category (400 rubles). There is one significant drawback - the padding polyester layer is too thin, so the filter element does not fit tightly enough to the body;
MANN-FILTER C27030 – when using this element, the price increases to 1000 rubles. Fits perfectly and is of high quality.

Air filter Lada Vesta, X-Ray, RENAULT Duster (1.6), air filter element OE

Lada Vesta cars have been produced since the beginning of 2015. This model is equipped with a VAZ-21129 engine, which is equipped with a rectangular filter, the housing of which is mounted on top of the engine. The factory code for the air filter is 165460509R.

The Lada Vesta engine air filter plays an extremely important role in supplying the car with a high-quality fuel-air mixture. It serves to purify the atmospheric air necessary for the engine to form a combustible mixture. Prevents dust, moisture, and foreign objects from entering the combustion chamber, which contribute to increased wear of parts of the cylinder-piston group.

Air filter 165460509R Italy, the most affordable in price, does an excellent job due to high-quality materials and advanced technologies. Thanks to the presence of pre-cleaners made of synthetic material and reliable fixation of the curtains, they provide maximum air purification.

To form a combustible mixture, the VAZ-21129 engine requires approximately fifteen times more air than fuel. That is, if you burned ten liters of gasoline in a day, the air filter had to process a volume of one hundred and fifty liters. The combustion of this mixture in the engine cylinders directly affects the power of the car engine.

As the filter is used, the working surfaces of the replaceable air filter element become dirty, it cannot pass a sufficient amount of air, which leads to:

reduction in power and deterioration in the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle. A mixture that is too rich will not allow the engine to operate optimally;
increased fuel consumption. The lack of air in the combustion chamber will be compensated by increasing the injection of gasoline, which will not burn completely, but will be released into the atmosphere along with the exhaust gases;
Excessive fuel consumption will lead to an increased content of harmful substances in the vehicle exhaust. Prolonged operation in this mode contributes to the formation of carbon deposits on the pistons and spark plugs.

A car with a clogged air filter loses its power, and you start spending extra money on wasted fuel.

In accordance with the regulations, the replaceable element of the air filter of a Lada Largus car is replaced every 15 thousand km.

It should be taken into account that the air filter should be replaced not simply based on the mileage of the car after the previous maintenance, but depending on its condition and operating conditions.

If your Largus has to travel a lot on roads with dirt, crushed stone or gravel surfaces, which are characterized by increased dust formation, then filter maintenance should be carried out much more often. In the intervals between replacements, it is recommended to clean the element by carefully knocking out dust and blowing with compressed air.

When operating a LADA X-Ray, Vesta, ENAULT Duster in a dusty area, the mileage between element replacements should be reduced by 1.5–2 times. A deformed or damaged element must be replaced regardless of mileage.

The quality of our roads and their cleaning leave much to be desired; these intervals often have to be shortened.

It should be taken into account that operating a car in winter and in humid climates causes less damage to the filters. Accordingly, dry, dusty summers and sandy terrain will put it out of action much earlier.

Taking into account all these factors, it is necessary to replace the filter elements.

A damaged or heavily contaminated air filter element can cause severe wear and loss of engine power.

If the filter is not replaced, the engine begins to “choke” and take on oil, which negatively affects the condition of the cylinder-piston system. As a result, carbon deposits may appear on the pistons, and this is a direct path to major repairs.

It is necessary to regularly check the condition of the working surfaces of the air filter and, if necessary, replace the replacement element.

You can replace the filter on all LADA X-Ray, Vesta, ENAULT Duster cars yourself, even for an untrained driver, thanks to the simple design of the filter housing and accessible location. To perform the operation, just carefully open the latches on the case.

Before starting work, it is recommended to remove the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.

Analogues of the filter element for LADA Vesta

It often happens that car parts similar to the original ones are sold at lower prices. And we are not talking about cheap Chinese filters, but about products from branded companies. Often, such spare parts are not inferior in quality to the original ones, and in some cases surpass them in characteristics. Of course, if the price of the original and the analogue spare part does not differ much, most buyers will prefer to purchase the one installed by the manufacturer.

However, if it is not possible to contact a dealership for service, you will have to use a non-original spare part. It is for this case that we will list the most popular analogues of the LADA Vesta air filter, indicating the catalog number next to the name:

Mann Filter C27030

The filter element is from a German manufacturer, not inferior in quality to the original. But its height is 4 millimeters less than the one installed at the factory, but this does not prevent it from falling into place without any problems. The price of this filter is within 800 rubles.

Pilenga fap2180

The cheaper analogue, however, is quite popular. This filter element uses paper that is not of such high quality. In addition, after installation there are gaps between the filter and the seat. At the same time, the price of this product is much lower than the original - about 300 rubles.

BM fa2180

This product is manufactured by BM-Motorsport. It is the most popular due to its low price and decent quality. The characteristics of the filter correspond to the original ones. The price is within 180 rubles.

TSN (9.1.1736) and SCT SB295

They are high-quality analogues at a lower price. The average cost of these filters is 300 and 400 rubles, respectively.

It is worth paying attention to other analogues. However, before purchasing, in any case, you need to read reviews about a specific product on the Internet.

This will help you avoid buying low-quality products that will lead to costly breakdowns.

BM fa2180 from the manufacturer BM-Motorsport

The most popular (most likely, the affordable price and decent performance played a role). The properties are similar to “branded” products, but the price is almost 3 times lower. The average price at points of sale is 180 rubles.

TSN (9.1.1736) and SCT SB295 are quite good substitutes at a price that is 2 times cheaper. The average price is 300 and 400 rubles.

Pay attention to other companies that produce spare parts for Vesta. Before purchasing, take the time to search for customer reviews. Some manufacturers sell products that are so lousy that they shouldn’t even cost a ruble. The buyer finds out about this when the next maintenance is due.

Frequency of replacing the oil filter in Lada Vesta

The oil filter element performs an important function in the car - it cleans the incoming engine oil from chips and contaminants for optimal engine performance. Therefore, you should not neglect the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding the established replacement schedule.

As practice shows, the first replacement of the engine lubricant and filter device, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, is necessary after running in a new car, that is, after 3 thousand kilometers. The changing process is required in order to get rid of the chips that formed from grinding in the parts.

The Lada technical instructions indicate the need to change the filtration every 15 thousand kilometers or once a year, whichever comes first.

Since the operation of the car, as practice shows, often occurs in not the most favorable conditions, the repair period is significantly reduced - to 7,000 - 8,000 km.

You can understand that the Lada Vesta needs to replace the oil filter if at least one of the following symptoms is present:

intensive consumption of the fuel mixture;
difficulties when starting the engine for the first time;
the movement of the car is accompanied by jerks on small inclines;
spontaneous inhibition;
Traces of oil remain on the asphalt, which indicates a leak and clogging of the filter.

Often, the filter element is changed along with the engine oil itself.

How often should you change your car air filter?

You will find out the correct answer in the operating instructions for your specific car. A dirty filter element leads to a decrease in dynamic characteristics and an increase in fuel consumption - the engine also needs to “breathe”. AvtoVAZ orders the Lada vesta air filter to be replaced after 30 thousand kilometers when driving in a city with dust-free asphalt roads. If your Vesta “lives” in a village or large city with dirty air, the mileage before replacement is halved. There is no need to neglect routine inspections of the “car lungs” - it will be cheaper to change this part than to “open up” the engine for major repairs in the near future.

Replacing the air filter on a Lada Vesta - algorithm

To carry out the work, you will need a new element, a clean, lint-free cloth, a blower (such as a vacuum cleaner) and good lighting (use additional lighting equipment if natural light is not enough). The sequence of actions itself is as follows:

install the car on an overpass (or just a flat surface);
block the rear wheels with “shoes”;
activate the parking brake;
turn off the engine and open the hood;
find the filter housing cover (refer to the manufacturer’s documentation);
press the latches to remove it;
dismantle the purifier;
carry out visual diagnostics of its condition;
install a new spare part (the cut should be on the front, the rubber edging should be on the back).

How to choose the right cabin filter

Autoreview experts tested 10 cabin filters in the Lefortovo tunnel and laboratory. They recommend following the following rules when choosing a cabin filter:

Buy a cabin filter only with the original article number.
The less the filter deforms in your hands, the better: the lower the likelihood of incorrect installation.
The filter material must have a laminated coating on the side facing the fan so that fluff from the filter does not enter the ventilation system.
The filter must be marked with the direction of air flow.
The carbon filter does not necessarily have to be sealed in polyethylene: activated carbon “works” only with air circulation, which is virtually excluded inside the box lying in a warehouse or store.
When the size of the box is much larger than the filter itself, this is not evidence of a fake. Many manufacturers prefer to save on packaging in this way: due to a smaller number of standard box sizes.
The carbon filter must be selected by weight: a heavier one should be preferred - it contains more activated carbon.

Recommendations for selection

Purchase consumables mainly at official points of sale. Do not use the services of unverified suppliers who sell products at reduced prices.

New filter

Check the tightness of the packaging, the presence of holograms, barcodes, dates and batch numbers. If you have any doubts about the quality and origin, do not purchase.

Conclusion

A clean air filter means good acceleration dynamics, low fuel consumption, and stable engine operation. Car owners often violate the replacement intervals for the cleaning element, thereby reducing the efficiency of the equipment.

Any car enthusiast without experience or skills in servicing a technical device can cope with replacing the air element. However, be extremely careful, as incorrect installation will lead to depressurization and the intake of untreated air from the outside. If you are experiencing difficulties or do not have free time, contact the specialists in the workshop for additional help and advice.

When to change

The manufacturer recommends a replacement interval of 30,000 km in the operating manual. If you actively use a technical device in conditions of increased gas pollution, on rough terrain, or during periods of heavy leaf fall, reduce the period by a third.

If the car is used in normal mode, without special loads and according to the “to work - from work” scheme, 30,000 km is quite the optimal interval.

Signs that replacement is needed

Unstable engine operation at idle speed;
when driving downhill, the engine lacks power and “requires” a shift to lower gears;
difficulty starting the engine;
fuel consumption is higher than usual;
passive acceleration dynamics;
The accelerator pedal is uninformative.

Where is the filter located

On cars of the Lada Vesta family, the cleaning element is located in the center of the dashboard in the lower part. It is a mistaken belief that the filter is installed behind the glove box. Place where the filter is located

To carry out preventive maintenance, temporary dismantling of the storage compartment will be required. However, experienced specialists practice replacing the cleaning element in a different way, which we will consider below.

When to change

In accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, maintenance of the interior cleaner is carried out every 30,000 km. As applied to the CIS, Russia, among others, the interval is large.

reducing the force of air flow from the deflectors;
the appearance of a fetid odor and rot in the cabin, which is dangerous for the human respiratory system;
Leaves, dust, and dirt fly out of the deflectors when the stove heater is activated;
the onset of the time interval according to the instruction manual.

The algorithm for preventing the stove heater on Lada Vesta 1.8 is identical.

Preparatory stage:

new cleaner;
aerosol for cleaning the air conditioner evaporator (if necessary, its prevention);
screwdriver with a Phillips bit, TORX key set to “20”;
rags, plastic spatula;
additional lighting provided that there is not enough daylight for work.

Sequencing:

We place the car within the perimeter of the repair area, provide priority safety measures, and squeeze the parking brake.
On the passenger right side, open the glove box and remove the contents.
We unscrew the three fixing screws and lower the glove box housing to the floor. First disconnect the lighting limit switches.
On the left side of the opening, we snap off the plastic cover, squeeze the cleaning element with an accordion, and remove it.
We blow out the cavity with a household vacuum cleaner or other device with a stream of compressed air.
Place the new filter in the direction of the arrow towards you.

The second and most rational way to replace the interior air purifier:

On the right side of the central channel, use a plastic spatula to pry off the cover. It is secured with three clips.
We unclip the cover of the filter housing and remove it, after squeezing it with an accordion.
We install a new cleaner.

Maintenance of the cabin air filter has been completed. We replace the carbon air element by analogy.

Analogues of the filter element for LADA Vesta

Mann Filter C27030

Pilenga fap2180

BM fa2180

TSN (9.1.1736) and SCT SB295

They are high-quality analogues at a lower price. The average cost of these filters is 300 and 400 rubles, respectively.

It is worth paying attention to other analogues. However, before purchasing, in any case, you need to read reviews about a specific product on the Internet.

This will help you avoid buying low-quality products that will lead to costly breakdowns.

Options instead of the original

Some car enthusiasts, after identifying the need to replace the filter element, seriously believe that there is no need to buy a new one. They remove it and clean it, some even wash it and blow it out. Externally, after such manipulations, the filter looks like it came straight from the store. But it is worth considering that the filter is a consumable material and its mechanical properties are not unlimited. This product has its own service life. A filtration element cleaned in this way may be damaged in further operation, and the throughput will increase sharply, which will negatively affect the operation of the motor.

In addition, long-term operation of a car with such a filter can lead to failure of the spark plugs and mass air flow sensor. The engine control unit will begin to incorrectly calculate the proportions of the fuel-air mixture, and fuel consumption will inevitably increase. All this can be easily avoided if you promptly replace the Lada Vesta air filter.

Considering that the cost of this component on Vesta is not that high, there is no point in washing or blowing the product. As a last resort, you can purchase not the original consumable, but an analogue. It costs much less, and in addition, analogues of air filters are presented in sufficient quantities on the car accessories market. You can use a standard air filter, which is recommended by the AvtoVAZ plant. At the same time, analogues are not inferior in their characteristics to the original.

Products allowed for installation on Lada Vesta

Analogs	Peculiarities
BM FA2180 from BM-MOTORSPORT.	Perhaps the most popular among car owners. Mostly due to the low price, but in terms of its characteristics it is no worse than the factory one.
MANN-FILTER C27030 from MANN FILTER.	A high-quality product, differs from the original in a smaller (4 mm) height, but retains all the necessary properties.
Pilenga FAP 2180 from Pilenga.	It is in the middle price range, but has some disadvantages. The padding polyester layer is too thin and does not allow a tight fit to the inner walls of the case. The transmitting material is also not of the best quality.

Of course, you always want to save money and extend the service life of components. But in any case, even the cheapest air filter will be better than one you clean yourself. A new product always lasts longer and is more reliable than a used one.

You can also install one of the most popular substitutes:

Pilenga FA-P0443 Price — 170 rub. Manufacturer: Pilenga. Has a regular filter element (not carbon). This model has higher popularity than the original. The reason is the good quality of the filter paper and the average cost is 3 times lower than the original. The coal model is not produced;
GB-9978 Price – 110 rub. Manufacturer: BIG FILTER. Having a low price, spare parts from this manufacturer have good reviews from Vesta owners. The filter element is slightly stiffer than the original. Coal version - GB-9978/C. Price - 130 rubles;
Finwhale AS433 Average price - 300 rubles. Manufacturer: Finwhale. Advantages over the original spare part - high-quality filter element and 2 times less cost. Coal version of Finwhale AS433C. Price — 390 rub.

What happens if you don't change the filter?

If the driver refuses to change this part, the car will not stop moving immediately: fuel consumption will initially increase, traction will decrease, which will only be the “first bell.” Then black carbon deposits will begin to form on the spark plugs from an excess of incoming fuel (this will lead to the replacement of the spark plugs). One day your “vesta” will refuse to start the engine and give the driver and passengers rides about their business. This usually happens at the wrong time - which means it is better not to neglect the advice in the service book and replace worn-out car components in a timely manner.

For the successful operation of Lada Vesta cars, the manufacturer of this dust cleaner is not as important as timely monitoring of its condition and replacement with a high-quality new spare part. It is better to replace 3 “non-original” ones every 10,000 km than one “original” every 30+ thousand.

What are the consequences of untimely replacement?

You may not notice a sharp deterioration. The car will drive, but the dirty cleaner will still have a negative impact on the engine. Due to excessive consumption of gasoline, carbon deposits form on the spark plugs. There is a possibility that the car will not start. It’s unpleasant if this happens on the road or at a time of urgent need to go somewhere. We recommend following the manufacturer's instructions and carrying out timely maintenance of machine components.

The cleaning system differs in the composition and structure of the filter element. This can be traditional paper or high-tech coal options. In the first case, a barrier is created for road dust, in the second - additional filtration of toxic parts

Signs of a clogged filter

A guaranteed way to check the filter is to dismantle it and visually inspect it. You can also determine the condition of the filter element by indirect signs:

turn on the blower for the stove or air conditioner - if the air flow is weaker than usual, it is necessary to replace the filter element;
when you turn on the blower, debris flies out of the air ducts - the filter element is deformed and needs to be replaced;
when the windows are closed while driving from the street, unpleasant odors penetrate through the stove - perhaps the filter cannot cope with filtration or is itself the source of the smell, it needs to be replaced;
when driving with air conditioning and the windows closed, dust quickly accumulates on the dashboard - the filter element is clogged and needs to be replaced;
Increased fogging of the windshield and side windows also indicates the need to replace the air filter element in the cabin.

If any of these symptoms occur, it is necessary to replace the cabin filter. The penetration of dust into the vehicle interior can harm the driver and passengers.
