Let’s figure out why, in our realities, the Renault Logan air filter requires replacement more often than the car manufacturer advises, and why you shouldn’t listen to the advice of “experienced” people on “reanimating” old consumables .
Renault Logan air filter replacement interval
According to the manufacturer's regulations, this part in Renault Logan must be replaced every 15,000 km. But in practice everything is not so rosy. The load on the air purifier exceeds the norm if the car constantly drives in a large city or on a dusty country road.
In such conditions, after 6-7 thousand km the air vent is completely clogged. Therefore, it is better to check it every 10,000 km.
In this case, you will be able to timely determine the degree of wear of the part and replace it in a timely manner.
Auto repairmen recommend remembering the signs of critical wear of the air filter in Renault Logan. They will tell you exactly when it’s time to change the part.
Signs of a clogged filter element
New and old
Experienced owners of Renault Logan, judging by the behavior of the car, are able to recognize most problems. With experience comes the ability to feel your car. Renault Logan indicates that the air filter (AF) is worn out and needs to be replaced with the following symptoms:
- Fuel consumption increases noticeably.
- The lambda probe shows oxygen starvation of the engine.
- The fuel in the cylinders does not burn out completely due to a lack of oxygen, so its injection automatically increases. Accordingly, the motor power decreases.
- Air passes through clogged layers of the air filter with difficulty; the engine has to spend additional effort sucking in the air mass, which also leads to a drop in power.
- In severe cases, due to ignition problems, the engine stops starting.
- Incomplete combustion of fuel leads to an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the exhaust. And this is fraught with additional fines and deterioration of the microclimate in the cabin.
If Renault Logan's dynamics are obviously deteriorating and fuel consumption is increasing, replace the VF.

8-valve and 16-valve engine
Replacing the air filter in Renault Logan 1.4, 1.6, 2 is a standard procedure that does not have any special differences depending on the engine capacity. The only difference is the location of the filter element in cars with 8-valve and 16-valve engines and the replacement process that depends on this.
In the case of an 8-valve engine, the filter is located at the top of the carburetor. To remove the part, it is necessary to remove the clamps that are located on both sides of the filter element.
After this, it is necessary to remove the bolts on the body of the filter protective box and the lower screws. When removing the part in question, the air intake pipes must be moved to the side, because they can serve as an obstacle to the removal of waste material.
After these manipulations, the filter box is removed, cleaned, and then the filter is changed.
If the engine is equipped with 16 valves, then the filter element is most likely located inside the air intake. For this reason, the procedure for changing the filter element itself is somewhat more complicated:
- The rubber seal is removed;
- In the places where the previous filter is attached, the air intake pipes and the unit itself are disconnected;
- The vacuum pump hose connected to the filter element box is moved to the side;
- The part to be disposed of is carefully detached from the fastenings to avoid damage to the resonator.
Air filters are designed for single use in the Renault Logan system. The discarded filter element should not be used, even if thoroughly washed. The part accumulates harmful elements that can contaminate the fuel system of the vehicle and cause irreparable harm to it.
Changing the filter element on Logan 1
To replace the air filter on a first generation Logan you will need a Phillips screwdriver . The procedure is as follows:
- The locking bracket on the part cover rises, after which the holder can be unfastened. Do this with all four clamps.
(link to photo source) - The 5 mounting screws on the cover are removed.
(link to photo source) - The cover is removed.
- The VF is removed from the housing.
(link to photo source) - In reverse order, all the parts are put back into place.
Why you shouldn’t save money on replacing the filter element
Let's talk about the most common myths about the air filter.
Myth #1: The engine oil filter is more important than the air filter.
This is not true because each filter does its own job . The oil one operates in a confined space, so dirt and abrasives from the outside do not enter it. The air filter blocks the path for anything that can penetrate the cylinders simultaneously with air, and then stick to the oil and enter the Renault Logan fuel system. Oil filters can repeatedly drive contaminated oil , but the task of an air filter is to immediately stop dangerous dirt in one go .
The Latin word “filtrum” translates as felt. The ancient Romans used felted sheep wool to purify water, wine, and vegetable oil. In modern Renault Logan, the filter elements do not consist of sand or felt, but of paper .
Myth #2: All filters are made from the same paper, so there is no point in buying expensive models.
This is not true, because few people produce paper that is 100% capable of serving as a cleaner. Its most famous manufacturers are Neenah Gessner and Ahlstrom. They introduce various ingredients into the paper that improve the performance of different motors. In some cases, synthetic fibers are added, in others, paper is made from special tree species. Production technology is a trade secret. There is nothing special about cheap models; they are made from ordinary paper without additives.

Myth No. 3: An expensive filter can easily be replaced with several cheap ones, you just have to change them more often.
This is a dangerous misconception, because... replaces the concepts of cleaning parameters and service life. It's far from the same. Cheap products allow dirt particles to pass through, 2-3 times larger than those allowed for Renault Logan. And the frequency of their replacement does not affect the fineness of cleaning.
Myth #4: Air filters are restored after blowing.
Yes, purging does result in some cleaning of the part. But this is only a visual effect , because... The largest particles visible to the eye and deposited outside are removed. A modern consumable performs the function of deep cleaning, when the finest cleaning is carried out in the depths of the part. And it is impossible to remove the finest dust from the deep layers by blowing. So don't give in to provocations.

If the air vent requires replacement, change it!
Stages
- After you have purchased everything you need, you can begin repair work.
Using a shaped screwdriver, unscrew the screws that are located on the cover of the housing in which the filter itself is located. There are only four self-tapping screws, and in order to unscrew them, you do not need to disconnect any additional systems or components. Everything is simple here. We put the unscrewed screws in a separate place so that they do not get lost. - The filter housing cover is held in place by four latches.
If everything is fine, they should open without much effort. We remove the cover and gain access to the filter. Most likely, it will be extremely dirty and dust may fall off it, so this work must be done very, very carefully.Old dirty filter
- You can clean the old filter and put it back, but it is better not to do this, because during operation, if it is not clean enough, other components may fail. The best option is a new filter.
- After you remove the old filter, at the bottom of the pan you will find a lot of dust that needs to be removed with a rag, or better yet, with a vacuum cleaner. But before starting work, be sure to close all openings to prevent dust from entering the engine through them. Dust can also be removed with a compressor, but then still go over all surfaces with a cloth.
- Carefully, so as not to damage it, unpack the new filter element and put it in place.
- Make sure that the filter fits well into place.
There should be no distortion. Properly installed filter barrier - Next, we begin the assembly, but first you need to clean the cover from dust - just wipe it with a wet rag.
- Put the filter box cover in place. If this does not work, then the filter assembly is probably installed incorrectly. Install it differently. We remind you once again that it should sit tightly and rigidly. If the lid fits into place without problems, it means you did everything right.
- The remaining operations are performed in reverse order.
- Secure the cover with the latches. Before you start tightening the screws, it would be a good idea to lubricate them with alcohol or solvent. This will make it possible to prevent rust and other problems.
- When screwing them in, you don't need to use much force because you may damage their sockets, and next time you will need to use extra force when unscrewing them. In a word, they should be twisted well, but not too tightly. This completes the replacement of the air filter.
The request returned an empty result.
In conclusion, we draw your attention to the fact that the better the air barrier purchased, the better the motor protection will be. It has already been established that a good filter will help significantly save fuel. Experienced craftsmen advise replacing at least every six months, but in certain situations this period can be reduced or, on the contrary, extended.
For example, if you mostly drive in dusty areas, you may need to change the filter after just a couple of months. If your car sits idle for a long time, and you drive mainly only around the city, then it is enough to change it once a year.
We hope that this article will help you replace the filter yourself, quickly and efficiently.
