Carrying out maintenance-1

According to the maintenance regulations, the first maintenance of the Lada Vesta must be completed after a year of operation or after 15 thousand km, depending on which of these two options comes first.

List of works

The primary task of TO-1 is to replace the oil filter, engine oil and cabin filter. If necessary, add working fluids and change the front brake pads. The cost of spare parts and consumables is paid separately from the work. We also carry out diagnostics and inspection of the following systems:

• chassis;
• steering gear;
• brakes;
• Transmission;
• functionality of electrical wiring and electrical equipment;
• hoses and pipelines for damage, as well as their connections;
• reliability of chassis fastening;
• checking the engine, transmission and suspension for extraneous noises and knocks;
• rim integrity and tire pressure;
• battery;
• door lock mechanisms;
• body for areas of corrosion and damage to the paintwork.

All faults must be eliminated by service station specialists, then the car owner receives recommendations for further operation. Additionally, the maintenance regulations for the Lada Vesta require cleaning the drainage holes in the thresholds and doors. After completing all procedures, a corresponding mark is placed in the service book.

Cost and first problems at TO-1

Depending on the dealer, the cost of the first maintenance ranges from 5 to 6 thousand rubles. This is significantly cheaper than servicing cars of other brands. After a year of operation or 15 thousand kilometers on the Lada Vesta, the following problems are most often identified:

• scratches and abrasions on the glass - the replacement warranty applies only if the integrity was damaged due to a malfunction of the wipers or power windows;
• play of ball joints;
• malfunction of the heated windshield;
• cracks and damage to cooling and heating system hoses;
• knocking from rear shock absorbers;
• breakdown of the multimedia system;
• burnout of the exhaust system resonator.

The car owner has the right to demand that service station workers pay attention to these parts if there are suspicions that they are malfunctioning.

Using high-quality consumables and taking timely measures to eliminate and prevent malfunctions will reduce the risk of vehicle breakdowns in the future.

Third maintenance

List of works during the third maintenance (45,000 km or 3 years of vehicle operation)

1. Changing the oil in an internal combustion engine.

2. Replacing the oil filter.

3. Replacing brake fluid. The manufacturer recommends that owners of Lada Vesta use TJ ROSDOT-4, article number - 430140001, price per 450 g canister. - 170 rubles. The brake fluid volume is approximately 1 liter.

4. It is recommended to lubricate the hood lock cable, as by this time it begins to jam.

What is “zero maintenance”

Zero maintenance is a type of maintenance that is carried out after 2500-3000 km. For some cars of the Lada TO-0 line, this is a mandatory measure, but Vesta is not included in their list. However, for her such a check would be quite appropriate.

TO-0 Lada Vesta usually includes:

• changing oil and filter;
• checking for extraneous noises and sounds;
• checking the smoothness of gear shifting;
• checking wheel alignment angles;
• checking the main systems;
• checking the operation of the headlights and adjusting them (if necessary).

The total cost including consumables can reach RUB 3,000. The car dealership should not make a note in the service book, because there is not even a column for this type of service.

Why undergo zero maintenance?

If the cost of maintenance is not a problem for the motorist, then this procedure should not be avoided - this way the car will last longer. On a new car, during the first 5-10 thousand kilometers, engine parts wear out more due to lapping. A large number of small metal particles accumulate in the oil filter. These shavings do not have a positive effect, so you need to get rid of them as soon as possible. A mileage of 5 thousand km is optimal for all engine parts to get used to it.

During “zero” maintenance, wheel alignment can be checked. The correct angle will determine the uniformity of tire wear and controllability. If there was a defect in the production of the car, it will be detected at the initial stage. Otherwise, it can lead to major problems and malfunctions, many of which are not included in the warranty list.

Checking the levels of all fluids will help you quickly identify possible leakage defects, such as torn gaskets. Diagnostics of the operation of the ECU and all sensors allows you to verify the proper functioning of all systems. Not every car enthusiast can carry out intermediate maintenance on their own. If you don’t go to a car service center, you can change the oil and oil filter - this is a must.

Diagnostics of an internal combustion engine

• listening to engine operation;
• checking the tightening torque of engine supports;
• inspect the engine connection points for oil or coolant leaks;
• diagnostics of the Lada internal combustion engine using computer equipment;
• if necessary, replace the lubricant and filter element in the engine;
• checking the serviceability of the timing belt and drive belts of the Lada.

Diagnostics of transmission elements of Lada Vesta

• inspection of the torque transmission for accuracy of gear shifting, absence of “left” sounds;
• study of clutch operation (absence of “failures”, noise, “slipping”);
• checking gearbox seals for leaks;
• checking the condition of the clutch cable.

Control system diagnostics

• EUR performance assessment;
• analysis of brake efficiency in various situations with a mileage of 3 thousand km;
• inspection of the DOT4 fluid level in the main brake cylinder (if necessary, add working fluids);
• brake line integrity analysis;
• adjusting the brake signal switch;
• diagnostics of the "vacuum";
• checking the parking brake.

Electrical equipment diagnostics

• prevention of integrity and response to the command of headlights, flashlights, interior lighting and sound alarms of the Lada Vesta;
• checking the functionality of the electronic headlight range control;
• checking the position of the light (if necessary, adjust the optics).

Diagnostics of Lada chassis

• installation on a vibration stand, listening to the operation of the suspension when driving over uneven surfaces (there should be no knocks, creaks, or “moans”);
• study of the work of the “walker” while moving along a straight path and a rounded one (inspection of constant velocity joints and hub bearings);
• measuring the accuracy of the wheel alignment angle.

“Zero” maintenance yourself

The car dealership will not put a note in the service book about the “zero” maintenance performed (there is not even a separate column for this). Therefore, many drivers are tempted to save several thousand rubles and change the oil themselves or turn to a familiar garage mechanic who has the necessary tools.

The disadvantage of this solution: situations often arise in domestic cars when one or another part has a manufacturing defect. To obtain the right to replace them, this defect must be identified by a specialist from an official dealer. Otherwise, the owner will buy all the spare parts at his own expense. Therefore, small savings from independent maintenance can result in the cost of purchasing a failed unit, which would be replaced free of charge at the service.

TO-6 (mileage 90 thousand km)

For the car, it repeats the maintenance regulations TO-1, TO-2 and TO-3, as well as:

•  Replacing antifreeze.
•  Replacing the air conditioner drive belt together with the tensioner pulley.

Prices for consumables

The cost of the first and third maintenance will be approximately 1,500-2,000 rubles, while the second and fourth maintenance will cost a little more - about 3 thousand rubles. The fifth maintenance, together with a transmission oil change, will cost approximately 4-5 thousand rubles. The sixth maintenance will be the most expensive - 6,000 - 8,000 rubles.

Maintenance regulations for Lada Vesta

LADA Vesta began production at the AvtoVAZ plant in November 2015.
Equipped with motors: 11189, 21129 and HR16DE-H4M. The latter is an imported engine produced by the Renault-Nissan alliance. The most common engine is 1.6 liter. 21129 is the well-known VAZ engine 21127 with some modernization. It is this that is taken as the basis for this routine maintenance. The frequency of replacement of Lada Vesta consumables is 15,000 km. In severe operating conditions, it is useful to reduce the interval to 10,000 km and even more - to 7,500. There will definitely be no harm from this, except for your wallet.

First of all, reducing the replacement interval concerns the oil and oil filter. The air and cabin filters should be checked and at least blown out, and if they are heavily soiled, they must be replaced.

Severe operating conditions include:

• driving in a large city with frequent trips over short distances;
• long-term movement at low speed;
• moving through dusty areas;
• transporting a trailer or driving a heavily loaded vehicle.

Below we will describe a map of the routine maintenance of the Lada Vesta, as well as the catalog numbers of the necessary consumables and their average prices (indicated for Moscow and the region) that will be needed for work. The maintenance diagram looks like this:

Replacements according to service life

Replacing the timing belt. As a rule, the timing belt is recommended for replacement after a mileage of 180,000 kilometers or more, but it is worth monitoring its condition at each maintenance to prevent a break.

It is worth noting that the cost of a timing kit for a VAZ-11189 engine is about 4,000 rubles. For the VAZ-21129 internal combustion engine, the kit costs about the same. However, the tensioner roller will cost 6-7 thousand rubles.

For the RENO-NISSAN HR16DE-H4M motor, based on the regulations, replacing the chain is optional, but this does not mean that it is not necessary to monitor its condition. By 250,000 miles, the chain may stretch and will have to be replaced.

Do not forget to monitor the condition of the fuel filter. Most likely, if the fuel pump breaks down, the filter will have to be replaced. The service life of the fuel pump can be up to 200,000 mileage. Its cost is about 400 rubles.

What kind of work does TO-1 Lada Vesta include?
