Lada Largus: replacing a replaceable air filter element for a 16-valve engine

The need to replace the air filter

In the combustion chamber of an engine, regardless of the specific type (diesel or gasoline), it is not the pure fuel that ignites, but the fuel-air mixture. This requires 15 times more oxygen. Air enters the internal combustion engine from the atmosphere. The dust and dirt particles it contains can damage the engine or significantly reduce its service life. To prevent breakdowns, a special air filter is installed in the car.

The air filter is a small part of a round, panel, cylindrical or conical shape, depending on the design of the seat. The surface of the VF is covered with a porous material that retains fine dirt and dust. Entering the internal combustion engine through the filter, the air goes through several degrees of purification. As a result, O2 without harmful substances enters the engine.

Modern air filters can purify the atmosphere by 96%! However, during its operation, the air filter becomes clogged and requires replacement.

The following signs may indicate a malfunction of the VF:

• loss of speed;
• lack of traction;
• increased detonation;
• sensation of jolts or noise when starting the engine;
• the engine stalled;
• concentrated exhaust;
• excessive fuel consumption, etc.

Also, a faulty cleaning device directly affects the service life of the engine. Dirt and dust gradually clog the mechanism and will require expensive repairs in the future.

According to recommendations from the Lada Largus car manufacturer, the VF must be replaced every 20 - 30 thousand kilometers. In this case, the conditions in which the vehicle is operated should be taken into account. If the driver lives in a rural area where there are no roads, or is often stuck in traffic jams, the air filter will wear out. Such parts in cars are replaced twice as often.

Accessibility for everyone

If we compare replacing the cabin filter with air conditioning with other repair operations, then the fact is immediately obvious that this work will not require the owner to have certain skills or spend time. Moreover, now you know where it is located, as well as how to change it correctly. To perform the procedure, you will need a minimum of skills and knowledge in the field of the features of the car interior ventilation system.

Here, accuracy comes to the fore, since removing the non-removable plug will require special care. If an unfortunate mistake occurs at this stage, the consequences can only get worse. This circumstance makes some owners inclined to seek help from the service, which is quite justified, because the correct installation of the filter directly affects the correct operation of the entire ventilation and heating system of the interior space of the Lada Largus model.

On the Lada Largus, a cabin filter is not installed by the manufacturer, so after the first trip dust appears in the car's interior. The filter element can be installed during a scheduled technical inspection, but if desired, you can do it yourself. Let's take a closer look at how to install a cabin filter on a Lada Largus.

You will need: a new Lada Largus air filter (catalog number: 7701059997, approximate price 350 rubles), a sharp knife or metal file.

Procedure:

Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible. Then bend down to gain access to the air filter plug, which is located near the front passenger's left foot (see photo).

It is necessary to cut out the plug using a sharp utility knife or a metal file. After the piece of plastic is cut out, you should clean the edges of the cuts and turn on the stove fan at maximum speed so that all the chips fly out of the opening for the filter.

The Lada Largus cabin filter is assembled, which means that along with the filter there is also a new plug. The cabin filter is larger than the hole made, so when installing it, the filter element must be compressed. First insert the upper part of the filter, and then snap the lower part into place. The whole process will not take more than 30-40 minutes of video, and the moment of removing and installing the air filter can be seen in the video:

On Lada Largus, the air filter should be replaced depending on operating conditions, every 10,000 km, or every 5-7.5 thousand runs under more severe conditions. Let us remind you that on the website you can find other instructions for repairing Lada Largus.

Close cooperation between the domestic company AvtoVAZ and the French automaker Renault bore fruit several years ago.

One of them was the appearance of a model called Largus, which after some time received its Crossover continuation in the form of Largus Cross. In fact, it remained the same station wagon, created on the basis of the French Logan MCV (aka the Romanian Dacia Logan MCV), but slightly changed its appearance and received increased ground clearance. This allowed the domestic automaker to add the prefix Cross to the name Largus.

If the question arises about replacing the cabin filter, the same recommendations and instructions can be applied to these two cars. In terms of organizing the ventilation, heating and air conditioning systems, they are no different from each other.

But the Largus and Largus Cross models have their own feature, which directly concerns the cabin filter. Therefore, questions are often asked about whether these machines even have such consumables.

Review

To ensure efficient combustion of a combustible mixture, it is necessary that its air composition contains tens of times more fuel. Imagine if this air is supplied to a car engine without preliminary cleaning, with all solid fractions and road dust. The motor will fail very quickly and require expensive major repairs.

To avoid this, a special filter is installed in the air flow path. It acts as a purifier and is also able to reduce the noise that occurs in the incoming air duct. On carburetor engines, the filter element also serves as a fuel assembly temperature regulator.

During its operation, if it is not cleaned in time, this unit becomes clogged with various small debris and dust, the resistance to the incoming air flow increases, as a result of which the car engine does not receive a sufficient amount of clean air, which is so necessary for the efficient operation of the power unit.

The fuel does not burn completely, carbon deposits form, and the percentage of toxic substances in combustion products increases, which enter the atmosphere and poison the environment.

To ensure that the engine does not fail on the road and lasts as long as possible, it is necessary to look under the hood of the car more often, checking the condition of the air filter. The domestic car manufacturer Lada Largus recommends replacing the filter element every 20-30 thousand kilometers.

Of course, the timing of filter replacement is affected not only by the mileage readings on the speedometer, but also by the condition of the roads (asphalt or unpaved surface), as well as the intensity with which the car is operated under these conditions. The figure recommended by AvtoVAZ may drop critically to 7–8 thousand kilometers.

To decide whether to replace it, it is better to start with a visual inspection of the filter. The most win-win option is to replace the air filter during routine maintenance to change the engine oil.

Modern points of sale of automobile spare parts have a huge number of names of their products. Your eyes widen at the sight of all the abundance.

To make a replacement, it is better to take an original part, since there is confidence that it will serve its intended life. However, there is not always enough cash to buy an original part. Therefore, there are always non-original spare parts on the shelves of car stores. By the way, there are samples that are not inferior in quality to the original ones, only with a different name.

Installation of cabin filter in Largus

Instructions for replacing spark plugs on the Lada Largus
Replacing the cabin filter with air conditioning is not difficult, however, it is quite uncomfortable, since the location of the filter component is very difficult to access, or rather, under the front panel of the LADA Largus, when viewed from the passenger seat. Many owners do not even know where this filter is located. Before the “operation” we recommend dismantling the designated seat using the appropriate key. The most advantageous “posture” when working may be a recumbent position with your legs thrown up on the rear seat row cushion. This is more comfortable than the kneeling position, which involves an unnatural bending of the body. Your head should be “armed” with a flashlight so as not to miss a single significant moment during the work process.

Having studied the documentation supplied with the car, we find the location of the filter. In Lada Largus this place is closed using a rectangular plastic plug. There must be a special support pin on the top edge of this component, indicated by the corresponding mark. To make it possible to install the filter, the marked plug will need to be cut out with a knife.

Please be patient as the plug material is quite tough and resists cutting. Use a ruler to make the cut neat. If small burrs appear during the action, they can be eliminated using the same knife

We move our attention towards the previously indicated pin, which cannot be cut out in order to be able to fix the new filter. When performing the operation, “arm yourself” with maximum concentration and accuracy, because this will ensure installation of the filter without the need for additional sealing manipulations

Now the owner of Lada Largus is faced with an unexpected surprise, because the dimensions of the cut opening are somewhat small for installing a larger filter. To install the component correctly, we slightly crush it on the outside and move it inside, gradually pressing it against the far wall of the panel. When the owner purchases a quality product, its lower edge is made in the form of a lid, which allows the air openings formed under the front panel to be sealed.

After this, we turn on the heating system fan at full power and at the same time check the ability of the deflectors to freely direct air into the cabin. If all the recommendations are followed correctly, the filter built into the depths of the panel will last quite a long time.

When, after installing the filter component, some of the deflectors refuse to direct air into the cabin, care should be taken to check the correct installation of the component in the Lada Largus car.

The most common causes for this defect are:

• a filter with poor quality was purchased;
• during the production of the plug cutout, extra holes were formed in the side of the panel;
• The lid did not close completely.

In some cases, manipulations with adjusting the filter in the seat will not help, then additional sealing is required. Masking tape is ideal for these purposes. As an alternative, insulating tape can improve the situation, but it must be of decent quality. Avoid using sealant or adhesive as subsequent replacement will require you to cut out the used component. There is a considerable risk of damaging the filter seat or inadvertently touching the nearby evaporator of the air conditioning system.

After completing the necessary sealing procedures, do not be too lazy to check the functionality of the blowing system. For this purpose, you will need to set the maximum impeller rotation speed for at least 5 minutes. If you accidentally break the support pin during the installation process, you will need to install the specified component again. For this purpose, it may be useful to use strips of metal, from which you will need to construct suitable brackets. Replacement of the cabin filter with air conditioning is completed.

Where is the Lada Largus fuel filter located?

This question worries many owners of domestic station wagons. The fact is that on injection Lada cars the fuel filter was always located above the rear beam and replacing it was a simple task. However, many who buy Lada Largus as their own plan to maintain their car themselves. But, not finding a fuel filter in the usual place, they begin to search on the Internet for the answer to the question “where is the fuel filter on the Lada Largus?” And only then do they find out that the fuel filter on the Lada Largus was moved directly to the fuel tank. Those. the filter itself acts as a glass in which the fuel pump is installed.

This is a proven solution that has been used on most foreign cars for several decades. In terms of replacement, of course, it’s not the easiest thing, but again, this is not such a common procedure.

Spare parts for Lada 8 valves

First of all, the oil filter Lada Largus 8 valves should eliminate harmful particles that are present in the lubricant. They are formed due to the fact that surfaces rub against each other and when solid particles of burnt fuel penetrate into the oil composition, as happens, for example, with diesel car engines. Most of the Lada Largus filtration parts consist of a non-separable housing (metal) and a filter element. All valves inside are protected. There are valves: bypass and anti-drainage. The bypass is activated when the lubricant can no longer pass through the oil element without obstruction or when its viscosity is not normal. Usually begins to work actively in autumn and winter.

In addition, it can work when the components of the Lada filter have become extremely dirty. The anti-drainage valve is located directly at the oil filter inlet. While the engine is operating, it is always open, but as soon as the engine is turned off, it closes instantly. At the same time, it retains a large amount of working fluid in the inside of the oil filter, preventing it from draining back into the crankcase. Because of this, auto lubrication has the ability to immediately begin high-quality lubrication after starting the engine. Filter assembly:

• similar in appearance to a metal glass;
• the matter of filtration is arranged in it;
• the material is arranged like an accordion.

The function allows auto fluid to bypass the Largus oil filter complex if it becomes dirty and if the pressure from inside is higher than the emergency shutter limit. Its main task is to prevent oil shortage.
