Maintenance cost

Here we will build on the regulated cost stated on the manufacturer’s official website.

Since TO-0 is carried out only for 8-valve internal combustion engines, other versions do not require this service. The service price for an 8-valve valve is 1.6 thousand rubles.
TO-1, depending on the engine, will cost from 4.9 to 6.3 thousand rubles.
For TO-2 you need to pay 6.1-7.1 thousand rubles.
TO-3 costs about 4.9-6.3 thousand rubles.
Prices for TO-4 range from 6.1 to 7.1 thousand rubles.
TO-5 costs 4.9-6.3 thousand rubles.
TO-6 will cost the car owner 11.5-12.3 thousand rubles.

These are only approximate prices, which may differ from actual prices for each specific case.

But the above figures show that the Lada Kalina is not only budget-friendly in terms of its market price, but also cheap in terms of maintenance.

Maintenance schedule and work performed

Having studied the basic information about maintenance for cars of the Lada Granta line, it is worth taking a separate look at when the first maintenance of the car is carried out, how the 8-valve version differs from the 16-valve version, and what list of works is relevant for this or that maintenance.

Zero maintenance

Although this is considered the first maintenance, in fact it is zero, since it is not relevant for all versions of the Lada Grant.

The so-called TO-0 has its own characteristics, provided for by the instructions of the domestic automaker dated March 20, 2013.

According to this directive, for 8-valve engines installed on Lada Granta, only valve adjustment is required as part of zero maintenance. This is done in the period from 2 to 3 thousand kilometers.

If there is a 16-valve engine under the hood, TO-0 is not required, nor is it necessary to make any entries in the service book.

Therefore, it is often important to study the list of necessary work on Lada Granta cars within the framework of 1, 2, 3 and all subsequent regulated maintenance. By following the established schedule and completing the required list of work, it is possible to maintain the machine in optimal technical condition.

The method of almost free maintenance 0 at the dealer, which is done for 2000-3000 km. LADA Granta 2019

adjust the valve clearances and check the tension of the alternator belt (8-valve engines);
change the coolant.

Additional checks include the work prescribed in TO-1.

TO-4

As part of the 4th scheduled maintenance, the list of work is similar to that carried out at TO-2. The exception is replacing spark plugs.

It is carried out when the mileage reaches 60,000 km.

TO-5

Valid for 75,000 km. mileage or 5 years from the start of operation of the Lada Granta.

As part of this service you will need:

perform work and inspection in accordance with TO-3;
change antifreeze (coolant);
install a new oxygen sensor;
pour new oil into the manual box;
change the timing belt if it is an 8-valve internal combustion engine.

As you can see, the work is repeated periodically, and the routine procedures do not differ much from previous maintenance.

First technical inspection

The first technical inspection (TO-1) of the car should be carried out after a mileage of 3 thousand km. If your car has been at rest most of the time, then TO-1 is carried out after one year from the date of sale. The duration is regulated by the operating rules.

The first technical inspection of a Lada Granta car should be carried out at a branded auto repair shop or car service center. Although TO-1 does not include actions that only highly qualified craftsmen can perform, it is not worth carrying out on your own, if only for the reason that during the warranty period the manufacturer must keep control over the quality of its product. Failure to carry out maintenance on time by the service department may deprive the car owner of warranty service.

The first technical inspection includes monitoring the operation of vehicle systems and components with the subsequent elimination of deficiencies that may be detected. The technician who carries out maintenance is obliged to change the oil in the engine crankcase, check the lubricant level in the gearbox and bring it to the required level. Replacing the oil filter during TO-1 is mandatory. The coolant (antifreeze) and washer fluid are also replaced. Next, the ignition and intake systems are adjusted.

Maintenance of Lada (VAZ) Kalina in Kazan

Tech offers in Kazan maintenance services Lada Kalina 2 , a subcompact B class model produced by AvtoVAZ PJSC from 2013 to 2021, including the five-door VAZ 2192 hatchback and its sports modifications Sport, as well as the five-door VAZ 2194 station wagon and its pseudo-off-road version of Cross. We can also service limited editions of this model.

In addition to maintenance, car service technicians carry out routine and, if necessary, major repairs of VAZ , in particular, repairs of Lada Kalina2, its components and assemblies.

There is a wide range of services.

We offer to buy VAZ spare parts , including Lada Kalina spare parts , in an auto parts store that works with our service.
Why undergo maintenance and repairs at our car service center?
There are a number of reasons to contact us about undergoing technical inspection of your Lada Kalina 2. Let us outline the main ones.

Scheduled maintenance

First of all, we are talking about compliance with the standards established by the domestic manufacturer’s maintenance regulations for this model. The regulations indicate the need for maintenance after every 14,500 - 15,500 kilometers traveled or one year of operation, during which Kalina filters are changed.

Filters are being :

power supply systems, including the fuel (fine filter) and air filter Kalina, it is also often necessary to replace the fuel filter Kalina 2 and, after a certain service interval, replace the air filter Kalina 2;
a system that ensures the lubrication of engine parts (the Kalina oil filter is replaced by service employees; we emphasize that replacing the Kalina oil filter is carried out simultaneously with the provision of such a service as changing the oil in the Kalina 2 engine);
ventilation systems (the Lada Kalina cabin filter requires replacement; in general, cabin filter is replaced annually).

As part of regulated maintenance, replacement of liquids and some consumables must also be carried out. Among the liquids, we will highlight the motor oil mentioned above, in two independent circuits of the service brakes, brake fluid, in the circuit of the system that provides cooling of the power unit, coolant (in the majority of cases, antifreeze, in domestic cars TOSOL) and others. Consumables include Lada Kalina 2 spark plugs ( spark plugs are being replaced - a scheduled service), as well as belts, including the Lada Kalina 2 timing belt installed in the Kalina 2 timing drive, which ensures the operation of the generator and a number of other units, the Lada Kalina 2 generator belt, if an air conditioner is installed that drives the air conditioning compressor, the Lada Kalina 2 air conditioner belt. In other words, a regulated replacement of the Kalina 2 timing belt used in the Kalina 2 timing drive is carried out, as well as a replacement of the Kalina 2 generator belt , if an air conditioner is installed - Kalina 2 air conditioner belt .

Attention is also paid to the brake system , the Kalina 2 brake pads are inspected for signs of damage and critical wear, including the front brake pads of the Lada Kalina 2, and the brake discs installed on the front wheels on the Kalina 2. When necessary, services such as Kalina 2 brake discs on the front wheels, replacing the brake pads on the Lada, the same replacement of the rear brake pads on the Kalina.

The Kalina 2 brake cylinder is checked for leaks and replaced when faults are detected and repair is not possible, in particular, by using a repair kit.

There is one exception to the rule - in-line petrol fours VAZ 11186/21116 with eight valves (two per cylinder). On station wagons and hatchbacks with such power units, TO0 (zero) is carried out after 2000-3000 kilometers. In this case in the Lada Kalina are adjusted, or more precisely, the valve clearances in the timing belt are adjusted using adjusting washers; at the same time, a regulated replacement of the valve cover gasket of the Lada Kalina 2 is also carried out.

If you do not carry out maintenance regulated by the manufacturer, then warranty repairs in a situation where a warranty case occurs, the owner of the Kalina 2 hatchback or station wagon will have to carry out at his own expense, even in cases where the replacement of faulty parts must be carried out under warranty.

Seasonal and unscheduled maintenance

The second reason for maintenance is the preparation of this subcompact model for operation in the autumn-winter period, when cold weather sets in and the road situation becomes more complicated, and the spring-summer period with high ambient temperatures. This type of service is voluntary, the car owner himself decides whether to undergo it or not. In principle, if you don’t go through it, then sometimes you may be lucky and nothing will happen, but sometimes comfort and, most importantly, operational safety are reduced, and there is a risk of breakdown of certain systems and an emergency. There are many examples. For example, a mismatch between the viscosity of the engine oil and the season leads to problems with the engine, and a car with summer tires on a winter road, especially in icy conditions and such a small, light one as the Lada Kalina 2, is already a path to one place from which you will not return. Therefore, we recommend, as popular wisdom says, “prepare the sleigh in the summer and the cart in the winter,” and undergo seasonal maintenance at our car service center. Let's see what happens and carry out tire fitting and other types of work as necessary.

Extraordinary maintenance is carried out when signs of damage to a specific system or set of systems are detected. In this case, the sooner you contact, the better, the less repair services will cost. During unscheduled maintenance, diagnostics are carried out and in any situation, either adjustment of parts or their replacement will be required, in other words, repair of a VAZ, in particular, repair of a Lada Kalina 2. VAZ spare parts will be needed, the same spare parts for a Lada Kalina 2, which can be purchased very profitably in our auto parts store .

Let’s take a closer look at the relevance of unscheduled maintenance and, if necessary, repairs.

Unscheduled maintenance and restoration of Lada Kalina 2

Let's start with the main thing, failure of parts, certain components (suspension, handbrake, others) or units, such as the engine, gearbox, lead, on the one hand, to the failure of elements of other systems and, as a result, subsequent expensive repairs. On the other hand, the comfort of operation sharply decreases and malfunctions lead to the fact that the risk of an emergency increases many times over. Moreover, there are breakdowns in which further use of the car is impossible in principle. There are hundreds of such breakdowns; here are a few examples.

Power system (fuel system)

Let's take the power system. A fine gasoline filter is installed in it. If it is contaminated, the fuel supply to the engine is disrupted, it begins to operate at increased speeds, gasoline consumption increases, and the composition of the fuel-air mixture is disrupted. All this leads to the possibility of a complete stop of the power unit or its accelerated wear. replacing the Kalina 2 is so important .

A faulty fuel pump on a station wagon, its pseudo-off-road version, as well as on a hatchback, its sports version, leads to a lack of fuel supply to the engine, and this, you know, makes further operation of the car impossible. In this regard, replacing the fuel pump for Lada Kalina 2 is so important.

And one more detail of this system, which we will pay attention to, is the air filter Kalina 2. Its contamination or damage on the one hand leads to a violation of the composition of the fuel-air mixture and premature failure of both the engine and a number of parts of the systems that are associated with it . On the other hand, gasoline consumption increases by about 10-20%, using a phrase from classic works of Russian literature about. This is why replacing the Kalina air filter is so important.

When the Lada Kalina 2 throttle valve is faulty, cleaning or replacing the Kalina 2 makes it possible to prevent problems associated with the fuel supply to the engine.

Lubrication system

Engine parts interact with each other during operation, a friction force arises, which leads to wear and a number of other troubles. To prevent this, a system is used to ensure the lubrication of engine parts, into which engine oil of a certain viscosity is poured and an oil filter Kalina 2 is installed to clean the engine oil from impurities. When the oil level is insufficient, foreign particles get into it, the degree of viscosity changes, the filter becomes dirty, the oil pump breaks, pipes and hoses are damaged, then so-called “oil starvation” occurs. This is one of the reasons for breakdowns and premature failure of the engine, with the likelihood of its expensive overhaul. That is why it is so important to replace the Kalina oil filter, timely replacement of engine oil , hoses, pipes, and a faulty oil pump.

Motor

The Kalina 2 engine is a rather complex unit. It requires careful care. If the power unit fails, further operation of the station wagon and hatchback is impossible in principle. Moreover, the breakdown of one part or mechanism of the motor leads to the breakdown of other mechanisms and parts. And if in one case you can limit yourself to such a type of work as current repair of a VAZ 2192 or VAZ 2194 engine, which does not take much time and is relatively inexpensive, then in especially advanced cases a major overhaul of a VAZ 2194 or VAZ 2192 engine is possible. And do not forget that if the Kalina 2 engine is faulty, and its operation is still possible, then it is likely that its performance characteristics, especially power, will decrease and operating costs will increase (oil burn begins, gasoline consumption increases).

In this regard, timely maintenance and, in situations where necessary, repair of the power unit are so important. Pay attention to signs of malfunctions, for example, if the engine on the Kalina 2 has trouble, the engine speed of the Kalina 2 drops or increases (we’ll talk about other signs below), then immediately contact our car service center.

As for engine breakdowns, anything can fail. Let's give a few examples. Let's take the timing belt of Kalina 2. It is imperative to inspect the timing belt of Lada Kalina 2 and check its tension level during annual maintenance, otherwise it may break. In this case, on the eight-valve internal combustion engines of the VAZ 11186, and especially on the sixteen-valve VAZ 21126/21127 engines, the valves are bent, the pistons and other components of the crankshaft and timing belt Kalina are damaged; if you are very unlucky, then engine capital damage . In this case, the owners of hatchbacks VAZ 2192 produced in 2013 were lucky; in the “Norma” configuration with a manual transmission, such models were equipped with a VAZ 11183 engine (more precisely VAZ 11183-50), it has pistons with holes on the bottoms, if the timing belt breaks, then the valves are almost never oppresses.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the operation of the valve group, in particular, adjusting the valves on the VAZ 11186 and VAZ 11183-50 power units (they do not have hydraulic compensators, the VAZ 21127/21126 have compensators, but they often knock, which also requires maintenance and if replacement is needed ). If this is not done, the valves of the Lada Kalina 2 may become jammed and they will burn out, the engine power will drop, the catalyst in the exhaust system will be damaged, and it costs a lot of money, then repair the cylinder head. Or, on the contrary, there will be a large thermal gap, the valve timing is disrupted, power decreases, the Lada Kalina 2 valves begin to “knock,” and malfunctions in the exhaust system occur. This is why valve adjustment is so important. The valve stem seals may also fail. The part is cheap, small, and it causes a lot of problems: the engine stalls, compression and power decrease, oil consumption increases, Lada Kalina 2 spark plugs and exhaust system elements fail, carbon deposits appear on the cylinders, pistons, and valve seats. Therefore, valve stem seals must be replaced on time. And for this purpose you will have to remove the valve cover, which will require replacing the valve cover gasket of the Lada Kalina2.

Depending entirely on the installed motor, there are problems with the bearings (main/connecting rod), and even the crankshaft itself, breakdowns of which lead to the fact that the engine and its crank mechanism (crank mechanism) either does not work, or works, but incorrectly and not for long. The way out of the situation is either to replace the crankshaft or repair it, such a service as grinding the Kalina2 crankshaft and others. The camshaft can also be damaged, then problems arise with the valve group and the Kalina timing belt in general. Sometimes the only option to resolve the issue is the Lada Kalina camshaft .

The issue of restoration and maintenance of the cylinder head of the Lada Kalina 2 is relevant. If this engine element or cylinder head gasket fails, engine power drops, fuel consumption increases, and the operation of the valve group and components that include lubrication, cooling, power, and exhaust gas systems are disrupted. The cylinder head is a key element of the engine, so it is so important that it and its gasket are in good condition. In case of damage, replacement of the Kalina 2 cylinder head gasket and the cylinder head itself must be carried out in a timely manner. In some situations, the cylinder head must be restored, in particular, an operation such as boring the Kalina 2 .

Transmission

Now about transmission . If the gearbox fails, we recall that the Lada Kalina 2 was equipped with a five-speed manual transmission VAZ with the index 2181, or an ATM VAZ with the index 2182 and with a four-speed automatic transmission JATCO with the index JF414E, then further operation of the car is almost impossible, especially if this robot or machine. This often leads to breakdown of other systems, in particular the engine. And overhaul of the gearbox is very expensive, so servicing manual transmissions, automatic transmissions and automatic transmissions on the Lada Kalina 2 is necessary.

It is also necessary to monitor the transmission drive on the front drive wheels; faulty CV joints can cause many problems, especially to parts of the chassis and steering, sometimes for the simplest and most banal reason - deformation of the anthers, which can tear. In this regard, timely replacement of the boot of the Kalina2 CV joint is so in demand, and if it was overlooked, then a more expensive replacement of the Lada Kalina2 CV joint.

On versions with manual transmission, the Lada Kalina 2 clutch also requires attention, including the Kalina clutch pedal, as well as the Lada Kalina clutch cable (on versions with a cable drive), and the Kalina 2 clutch cylinder (on versions with a hydraulic clutch drive). If the clutch is faulty, the VAZ 2181 manual transmission will not be able to operate, which means that further operation of the vehicle is impossible, and the engine and gearbox may fail. It’s almost impossible, because there are aces, professional drivers who don’t need a clutch, they are able to change gears without the risk of damaging the gearbox, but this is a huge amount of practical driving experience and skills that are not available to ordinary drivers. We don’t recommend training “on cats”, as in one famous movie; it may get to the point where you have to sort through the box. Therefore, replacing the Kalina 2 clutch if damaged should be done on time.

Electrical equipment

Any modern car, and the Lada Kalina 2 is no exception, is equipped with a large amount of electrical equipment, the failure of which can lead to the failure of a number of systems, and sometimes to the breakdown of their parts.

Let's take a Kalina 8 generator (VAZ 11183-50/11186) and 16 valves (VAZ 21126-21127). It ensures the operation of a number of systems and recharges the battery. If the generator fails, for example, such a part as the brushes of the Kalina generator, replacement of the unit or its parts is inevitable. Since the battery cannot be recharged, the sensors, engine ECU, interior lighting elements, rear and head optics, fuel pump, Lada Kalina heater fan (heater motor), Kalina cooling fan, Kalina 2 starter and other equipment will no longer work. The reason that the Kalina 8 and 16 valve generator does not work may also be the Lada Kalina2 generator belt. Therefore, restoration is so necessary, and if this is not possible, replacement of the Lada Kalina 16 or 8 valve generator; in case of damage or significant wear, replacement of the Kalina 2 generator belt .

When the Kalina 2 starter does not spin, the starting system cannot work, the engine simply will not start (you can, of course, use alternative methods on versions with manual transmission, but this is an exception to the rule). The causes of breakdowns due to which the Kalina starter does not work can be different. For example, a bendix breaks, then you need to buy a bendix in our store and replace it.

In the ignition system, faulty spark plugs of the Lada Kalina also make it impossible to start the engine; therefore, replacement of the Lada Kalina 2 spark plugs is required.

Cooling system

The Kalina engine must be operated at a given operating temperature; overheating of the engine or insufficient temperature leads, first of all, to a decrease in the performance characteristics and operating parameters of the station wagon and hatchback. This is why it is so important to monitor the cooling system, maintain it on time (we are talking, first of all, about the planned replacement of antifreeze) and repair it.

The fact that the Kalina 8 and 16 valve thermostat is a sore point of the VAZ is not an open secret. Namely, the same Kalina 8-valve thermostat is responsible for distributing antifreeze over a large and small circle; the engine temperature directly depends on its condition. Based on this statement, replacing the Lada Kalina 2 thermostat if it breaks down or malfunctions (the unit is not repairable) is quite critical.

Other components of the cooling system, the radiator and cooling fan of the Kalina 2, the associated radiator and fan of the Lada stove, and other parts may also break. All these breakdowns and a number of other malfunctions of the cooling system often lead to engine failure due to overheating. In this regard, it is so important to replace the fan , the Lada Kalina 2 pump replace the Kalina 2 cooling radiator and replace the Lada Kalina 2 heater radiator , as well as replace the Kalina 2 air conditioner radiator and other types of work.

Brake system

Brake failures are critical in the sense that the likelihood of an emergency situation increases many times over, and sometimes becomes inevitable. Therefore, if the Kalina 2 brake pads are critically worn out or have signs of deformation, in particular, the front brake pads of the Lada Kalina 2, brake discs on the Kalina 2, the Lada brake pads must be replaced, including the replacement of the rear brake pads on the Kalina 2, and also replacement of Kalina brake discs. The same statement applies to such parts as pipes, working pipes and the main brake cylinder Kalina 2; their replacement is also carried out upon detection of malfunctions.

Body repair

The body of the hatchback and station wagon Lada Kalina 2 experiences all the delights of exposure to aggressive environmental factors (temperature changes, precipitation, reagents on the roads). Driving style is of great importance. Especially if this is the Sport version and driving in the style of “Look what a Schumacher I am” or the Cross version and purely domestic “Russian tanks are not afraid of dirt,” even if there is no all-wheel drive. By the way, this approach leads to failure of parts of the brake system, transmission, engine, chassis, and other systems, not just the body. You need to take care of your “swallow”, provide it with proper care, and then it will serve faithfully for many years. As a result, if the paintwork (paint) is damaged, pockets of rust appear, chips and cracks appear on the windshield. Glass can crumble at any inopportune moment. What if the speed is decent or there is a child in the front passenger? Therefore, it is necessary to repair the body and its elements, repair chips in the Kalina windshield, and if this is not possible, then replace the Lada Kalina windshield .

Chassis and other systems

The chassis of the Lada Kalina 2, in particular its suspension, is responsible for the comfort of the driver and passengers when driving and is designed to compensate for the action of various forces that arise, including due to the characteristics of the road surface. This is also necessary to prevent damage to components of other systems.

That is why it is so important in case of malfunctions to repair the Lada Kalina 2 suspension and other elements:

ball joints ( replacement of ball joints Lada Kalina2);
Kalina 2 bearings (including replacing the Lada wheel bearing , and if the Lada Kalina support bearing is faulty, replacing that too);
levers;
stabilizer (same replacement of Kalina struts);

were completed on time.

There are many other systems, the failure of which can lead to serious consequences and penalties. If we talk about the consequences, we note the steering. When steering rods, ends, and racks fail, all this leads to loss of controllability and an accident, sometimes with tragic results. That is why it is so important that Lada Kalina steering rods , steering tips, racks, and mechanisms in case of breakdowns is carried out on time.

If we talk about fines. For example, when the muffler of a Kalina station wagon, the muffler of a Kalina hatchback or the muffler resonator of a Lada Kalina 2 is faulty, this leads to a fine of 500 rubles under Art. 8.23 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

Maintenance problems

If any malfunctions occur, you should contact service as soon as possible. By not paying attention to battery failures, you may miss the moment when it can be replaced for free. Then, in addition to the cost of maintenance work, you will also have to pay for replacing the battery. It's better not to make such mistakes.

Grant engines are currently filled with semi-synthetic motor oil at the factory. Since 2013, the features and conditions of maintenance have changed, now you don’t need to change the oil so often (previously, the time to change the technical fluid came after every 3,000 km). If your Granta has a 16-valve engine, then your first maintenance occurs only after 15,000 km. For cars with an 8-valve power unit, it does not require an oil change, but the valves must be adjusted.

In order not to overpay and risk the quality of the lubricant, buy the oil yourself

However, it can be difficult to guess with service in the sense that some enterprising dealers charge inflated fees for such a thing as changing the engine oil, and for the oil itself, which is cheaper to buy in a store and bring to the service station yourself, which is what many Lada owners do.

If possible, achieve the right to be present during service work so as not to disturb the staff, but to see the progress of the work

This is especially important if you live in a small city, where the number of car services is small and there is almost nothing to choose from. It’s easier for residents of large cities; they can take advantage of the advice and reviews of other drivers

Despite all the riskiness of doing your own maintenance, it can help you save up to half the amount you pay in the end. But you can take it on only with good experience and knowledge. The warranty will not be voided just because you did the repairs yourself. And even the service technician can make a mistake. Another thing is whose mistake will be easier and cheaper to correct.

Please note that the dealer may impose additional services on you. Concentrate only on what is included in the list of necessary works

Moreover, all these procedures do not at all cancel things that are required by regulations. For example, if for some reason you are offered to replace the spark plugs out of turn, and at the next maintenance they need to be updated according to the service book, then you will have to pay for it again.

I drove, that is, until the numbers on the odometer approached 3000. We need to get ready for TO-1. According to the service book, there is only a check of valve clearances, but still. In our region there were two maintenance points - Vladivostok and Arsenyev. It’s not easy to go to Vladivostok; Arsenyev turned out to be more convenient for me. This was around June 2021. I called the service. “What are you doing?” - “We’re doing it.” "What is the price?" - “2000 rub.” Okay I think. Expensive, but necessary. Before going, I found this dealer’s website on the internet. And on the website PRICE TO-1 = 1024 rubles (!). Okay, I think. I'm coming. "What is the price?" - “2000r.” “And on the site it’s 1024r!” - “What are you talking about?! Let's see…". About 30 minutes later. “Yes, indeed. That means 1024 rubles.” They're cheating, right?! While he was waiting for the price, the master had already removed the cover from the engine; I never saw what he did or didn’t do. But when trying to install the cover in place, a problem occurs. The original gasket absolutely does not want to go into place. Stupidly it doesn’t fit along the length of a centimeter by 2. And so it is, and that way... The master says that with such gaskets (white, like silicone) it’s always like this. Okay, I'm going to the nearby store. There are no gaskets. We sit down with the master in his car (thanks to him) and go shopping. Somehow we found the LAST one. Gasket from 2108. We tried it on - it looks like it. Made from regular black rubber. We arrived, collected it, and said to look at the lid. If oil fogs up, tighten the nuts. Crap. She, a dog, fogs up at the joint. I pulled it up - it didn't help. I didn’t want to climb myself - that’s a guarantee. After arriving from the MOT, I changed the oil because... you need to do this after break-in. Run-in - 3000 km has just ended. The oil is naturally black. Well, I'll continue riding.

Frequency then lada kalina

When should you use this service? This question is answered by special documentation - the Lada Kalina maintenance regulations. Since the manufacturing company’s engineers know the approximate service life of the parts of their model, they have the opportunity to accurately determine the procedure for checking the serviceability of certain mechanisms and the frequency of replacing consumables and process fluids.

The frequency of Lada Kalina maintenance is primarily determined by the type of maintenance.

Daily maintenance is the responsibility of the driver himself and consists of checking the operation of sensors, electrical equipment, body condition and, in general, the general condition of the Lada car.

Maintenance No. 1 (TO-1) is performed every 10–20 thousand kilometers. This includes changing the oil, replacing filters, adding technical fluids, assessing the condition of the tires, checking the chassis, brake system, etc.

Maintenance No. 2 (TO-2) is performed less frequently - approximately once every 30 thousand kilometers. Consists of a larger volume of work of higher complexity. This includes, for example, replacing spark plugs, cleaning the fuel system, replacing the timing belt, checking drive belts...

Our experienced auto mechanics are ready to perform all the required work, determining the need for certain car maintenance operations in order to minimize the client’s costs.
