Replacing the cabin filter Lada Largus. Video, instructions on how to change the Largus cabin filter

General aspects when to change

The instructions that come with the Lada Largus suggest the need to replace the filter every 20 thousand km of mileage.
Here we recommend making an adjustment for this scheduled maintenance period and reducing the indicated period. This need is caused by the peculiarities of operating a car in an environment of increased pollution and gas pollution, which is important for modern megacities and dusty unpaved “destinations”. If you neglect to replace this important component, the consequences for the engine can be very sad. The engine will begin to experience air starvation, which will negatively affect not only fuel consumption, but also cause increased oil consumption

And this already “smacks” of a quick overhaul of the unit, because the components of the piston group will not keep you waiting long. A practical difference between modern elements is the ability to clean them by washing. Thus, the service life of these components is approximately twice as long compared to traditional filters.

Topic Which air filter is better

The engine air filter of your Lada Largus plays an extremely important role in supplying the “heart” of your car with a high-quality fuel-air mixture. The combustion of this mixture in the engine cylinders directly affects the power of the car engine. However, as the filter is used, the working surfaces of the replaceable air filter element become dirty and it simply cannot pass enough air. Imagine a person about to run a long distance and trying to breathe through a dirty rag. It is unlikely that such a person will show acceptable results. Likewise, a car with a clogged air filter loses its power and you start spending extra money on wasted fuel.

It is necessary to regularly check the condition of the working surfaces of the air filter and, if necessary, replace the replacement element. This procedure looks quite simple and can be performed even by an untrained driver using a minimal set of tools.

The procedure for replacing the air filter on a Lada Largus car may vary slightly depending on what engine your car is equipped with.

To begin, place your car on a level surface.

Let's consider the procedure for replacing the engine air filter for a typical engine model Lada Largus - K4M.

First you need to remove the intake system noise suppressor. To do this, press the spring-loaded latches and uncouple the exhaust manifold pipe.

Step-by-step instructions for replacing the air filter

Pipe connecting the brake booster;
Intake manifold;
Air filter box cover;
Screw securing the air filter box cover.

Wiring block for a stepper electric motor that regulates idle speed;
Throttle valve configuration control wiring block;
Air filter box;
Bolts fixing the air filter box;
A pipe that collects gasoline vapors.

The procedure for replacing the filter element must be carried out according to the following algorithm:

Remove the throttle configuration adjustment system.
Remove the pipe indicated in figure No. 5 from the air filter box No. 3.
Remove the two screws No. 4 and detach the air filter box No. 3 from your car. To do this, you need to use a replaceable Torx E8 head, a wrench and an extension.

After removing the air filter box, check the condition of the replacement element and replace it if necessary. Don't forget to clean the filter box from any street dirt that has accumulated in it.

Purpose, design and service life

The air filter of any car, including the Lada Largus, is very important for its normal functioning. This is due to the fact that this unit filters all the air entering the cylinders along with gasoline. If the air-fuel mixture systematically contains foreign impurities during the operation of the machine, the engine life will be reduced several times. Considering this fact, we can state: the air filter in the Lada Largus-Cross and the regular version of the model must be kept in good condition, constantly checked and, if necessary, replaced.

The design of the unit is not something complicated. It consists of three main elements:

box connecting the filter element with all air passages and protecting the internal parts of the unit from adverse external influences;
filter element, made like an accordion and purifying the air from impurities;
seals located along the edges of the box and preventing third-party fractions from entering the unit.

Contamination of the air filter, or rather its filter element, on the Lada Largus is an inevitable process. This phenomenon is due to the fact that there is no ideally clean air in the atmosphere, so dust, water and other fractions are often stuck and deposited in the filter, the entry of which into the engine is undesirable. The air filter must be replaced when instability in engine operation occurs or when the time comes when this procedure is recommended by the car manufacturer.

As for the Lada Largus, AvtoVAZ has designated the following periods for routine inspection and replacement of the air filter on this model:

It is important to carry out the first inspection of the unit after 7,000 kilometers, and its replacement after 15,000 kilometers;
in the future, the check is carried out every 10,000 kilometers, and replacement - 30,000 kilometers.

Important! If the filter becomes dirty earlier than specified by the manufacturer, this is a significant reason to replace it. Otherwise, problems with the car engine in the future cannot be avoided.

What to do on 16-valve units

We find the place of “dislocation” of the element. It is located in the central part of the compartment directly behind the engine.
Here you will have to unscrew a couple of bolts holding the filter box.
By loosening the air duct clamps and removing the protection, the halves of the filter box are opened.
For convenience, the element body should be moved to the side.
We remove the exhausted component outside.
We install the new component in its original place.
Now the body must be returned to its “legal” position.
Don't forget to install the previously removed plastic protection.
Tighten the body bolts.
We clamp the clamps of the air line and, having checked the tightness of the unit, start the engine and enjoy its “free breathing”.

Do-it-yourself Lada Largus air filter replacement

How to change the air filter on a Lada Largus yourself?

Cars of the Largus model appeared on our market more than three years ago. The car is equipped with two types of power units with a volume of 1.6 liters of 8 and 16 cl. The Lada Largus air filter supplied from the factory is usually coded 8200431051. But sometimes, including the manufacturer, they install an air purifier from the Renault company, the marking of which is 8201153808.

Replacing the filter element on all VAZ cars is usually done on your own. The design of the filter is very simple and the developers have placed it in a very convenient place. To change it, you do not need any special knowledge, and you do not need to dismantle any additional systems or components. On the eve of purchasing a new air purifier, you need to measure the old one, since it often happens that they sell absolutely the wrong filter.

Car Lada Largus

The instructions that come with the vehicle indicate that replacement is necessary after 20,000 kilometers. But given the quality of our roads and the pollution of megacities, it is better not to reach this deadline. Also, earlier replacement is necessary if you often drive on dusty dirt roads. If you are late with the replacement, you can cause serious damage to the power plant of the Lada Largus car.

As drivers say, the engine will begin to choke and oil consumption will increase, resulting in leakage from the cylinders and pistons. And then a major overhaul. Modern filters for VAZ cars are distinguished by the fact that they can be washed. This is very convenient as their service life doubles.

Need for replacement

In any power unit, the air filter plays an extremely important role in providing the system with a high-quality air-fuel mixture. The engine power directly depends on the quality of the incoming mixture. But, during operation, the surfaces of the filter element become dirty. If you do not pay attention to this in a timely manner, then over time they will simply stop letting air through, not to mention its quality. This can be compared to a person running a long distance and at the same time breathing through a dirty rag. As you yourself understand, it won’t last long, and it’s simply stupid to talk about any results.

A car with an old filter will not only lose its power, but will also consume much more fuel. Since the Lada Largus filter is located in a very convenient and accessible place, don’t be lazy to look there as often as possible. If you find that it is dirty, replace it immediately. If the filter is washable, then at least wash it or dry it out. Such work is feasible even for a car enthusiast who cannot boast of extensive experience in operating a car.

Replacement process (for 8 and 16 valve cars)

Replacing the air cleaning element on a Lada Largus car with a sixteen-valve and eight-valve engine is slightly different. Therefore, for each type of power unit we will describe the replacement process separately.

It is better to carry out work on a level, well-lit and ventilated area. Prepare a bag immediately so that you can put the dirty filter in it.

Air barrier location

Air filter element housing

Remove the old filter. We install a new one. Close the lid. We tighten the bolts.

On 1.6 engines with 16 valves

Find where the filter is located. In the model with a 16-valve unit, it is located in the center, behind the engine.

Air barrier location on a 16 valve engine

Unscrew the two bolts holding the housing. Next, you need to remove the air channels from the clamps. We remove the protection. The filter housing must be moved slightly to the side. Remove the filter element. We install a new one. We return the body to its place. We put the air channels in place. We put the plastic protection in place. We tighten the bolts. All that remains is to tighten the air duct clamps and the job is done. After checking the fastening, start the car.

Conclusion

As you can see, the work is very simple. It can take ten minutes, fifteen at most. Solving such problems at a service station is a waste of time and money. But, nevertheless, despite its apparent simplicity, this process is extremely important for the normal functioning of the Lada Largus engine. Don’t forget to periodically check the condition of the replaced element and your car will delight you not only with a fast and comfortable ride, but also with low fuel consumption. To better understand the process of replacing the air barrier, take a look at what we offer.

Zero resistance filters (tuning)

We are talking about the K4M engine, which contains 16 valves in its design, and the air filter for the Lada Largus does not have to be an analogue of a standard part. In particular, a zero filter can be installed in place of the filter element.

Zero resistance filters can be reusable
(see photo).
Replacement for standard filter element

As you can see, the frame is collapsible, and it will be easy to remove the filter cloth from it.

The problem is that the filter element in reusable filters must be cleaned and washed, and also impregnated with a special composition. Well, the cost of the “impregnation” itself is not budgetary.

You can also install a “filter chandelier”. The following options will be possible:

The intake muffler 2 is completely removed and a “chandelier” is installed in its place;
The muffler remains in place. The “chandelier filter” is connected instead of air duct 1.

The standard filter installed under housing 3 must be removed in any case.

All details are shown in the drawing.

The need to replace the air filter on Largus

It has long been undeniable that the air filter in the air duct plays a significant role, because along with its fuel “colleague” it ensures the purity of the mixture sent to the combustion chambers. The power characteristics of the LADA Largus engine directly depend on this factor. Operating a car involves no alternative and gradual clogging of the component we are considering. You should not wait until the filtering function completely stops, because the operation of the motor will be impossible, and the harm to it cannot be overestimated.

A Lada Largus with a dirty air filter will be prone to increased fuel consumption and an unjustified reduction in power. The manufacturer deliberately placed the air filter in the most convenient location. So that the owner is not lazy to look into it and assess the degree of clogging. If the fact of contamination is obvious, then resort to replacement as soon as possible. This work will be feasible even for an owner who has just embarked on the path of a car enthusiast.

Symptoms of a “dirty” filter

A dirty air filter on a Lada Largus will definitely not “keep silent” about itself. This problem of a car unit, like any other, will make itself known with certain symptoms. You should not ignore it, since operating a car with a dirty air filter really kills the engine.

The main signs that the Largus air filter can no longer perform its functions properly are presented in the following list:

decrease in power and agility in the movement of the car (the “dirtier” the filter, the more pronounced the problem);
increased fuel consumption;
difficult starting of a “cold engine”;
increased engine detonation.

As noted earlier, you should not delay replacing a dirty air filter. Despite this, it is possible to use a car with such a unit, but for an extremely short period of time - no more than 30-50 kilometers.

Important! You can finally verify that the air filter on the Lada Largus is dirty by removing it and conducting a detailed inspection.

Replacement procedure

In order to save time and money, motorists prefer to replace the air filter with a new one themselves. There is nothing complicated in such work. You just need to purchase the right part that is suitable in size, and also prepare the tools: a clean rag and a flat-head screwdriver.

How to choose a filter? Initially, you should read the technical documentation for the vehicle. Manufacturers indicate in the manual the code of the original model, as well as its dimensions. If such a part is not on sale, high-quality analogues will do. The most famous brands are BOSH, Fram and BigFilter.

Modern air filters differ not only in shape, but also in material and cleaning method:

paper designs are the most popular due to their low cost. The filter element here is corrugated cardboard, which retains dirt even 1 micron in size. The paper is impregnated with an oily solution and does not deform when in contact with water. However, such VFs are disposable. It is not recommended to use the filter after 30 thousand km;
VF zero resistance. In appearance, the filter resembles a paper one, but fabric or foam rubber is used as a filter element. Due to the high cost, zero VFs are most often used in sports cars. If the part becomes dirty, it can be washed with a cleaning agent and reused.

Which of the proposed options to choose remains at the discretion of the driver. However, the future VF must be suitable in size, since a loosely fitting part can allow dust to enter the engine.

The procedure for replacing the air filter in a Lada Largus car on 8-valve and 16-valve engines has some differences, so we will consider each process separately.

Replacement process on an 8-valve engine

In order to replace the VF in a Lada Largus on an 8-valve engine, you need to drive the car onto a flat surface and then turn off the engine.

Procedure:

Open the hood and secure it;
The air filter is located in a protective housing near the engine. In order to dismantle the part, it is necessary to disconnect the air pipe;
After this, the latches on both sides are unfastened and the old filter is removed;
The protective box is wiped with a clean rag and a new filter is installed according to the instructions.

This completes the procedure for replacing the VF.

Replacement procedure on a 16-valve engine

To replace the air filter in a Lada Lagrus car with a 16-valve engine, you will need a Phillips screwdriver.

The replacement process is as follows:

Open the hood and lock it in a safe position;
Find the location of the air filter (black box behind the engine). Disconnect the pipe;
Remove the cover of the protective box. To do this you will need to unscrew two screws;
Press on the halves of the box and carefully remove the old VF;
Wipe the surface and insert a new filter into the cassette;
Install the mechanisms in place and check their tightness.

As noted earlier, replacing the air filter is a simple and standard procedure that does not take much time. At the same time, timely replacement of the part will significantly extend the life of the Lada Largus engine.

How to replace the cabin filter: instructions

First you need to determine where this element is located in the cabin. On the dashboard you need to identify the back side - that’s where the filter is installed. Replacing it is not at all difficult, but it will take a lot of time. Some drivers can’t even cope, give up and turn to professionals.

It is necessary to prepare a new filter element, unpack it, inspect it, understand its design, especially if you are doing this for the first time. You must have a knife on hand. Stationery will do. Then proceed like this:

Place the machine on a level surface so that there are no distortions. Provide clear access to the passenger door from the front.
Sometimes Lada owners dismantle the seat to make it easier to approach the desired area. But it will be easier to push it all the way back. The seat in this position will no longer hurt. But if you still have doubts, then unscrew the mounting bolts (there are 4 of them), remove the seat and take it out of the cabin.
In the center of the dashboard (on its back side) there is a rectangular plastic housing. An insert is soldered into the end area. It looks like a lid. It is necessary to carefully cut the hole, focusing on the outer contour of the insert. The hole should be rectangular.
Insert the filter into the resulting niche. That's it, now mount the seat back and enjoy the fresh air in the cabin.

These instructions are suitable for the first installation of the cleaning system. If your Lada Largus already has a filter that needs to be replaced, you must first carefully remove it from its niche. It can no longer be used, so throw away the dirty element without regret.

Let's sum it up

As we stated, replacing the air filter is so simple that it cannot raise any questions. Resolving such issues in the conditions of a service station is a waste of the financial component. Despite the simplicity of execution, this procedure is very important to ensure the correct functioning of the Lada Largus engine. The excellent condition of the element contributes to the engine “demonstrating” its declared characteristics, which can only please the owner of LADA Largus.

A car needs air as well as fuel. However, atmospheric O2, which enters the internal combustion engine, contains many harmful substances: dirt, dust, debris. All of these components can damage the engine, so the air must be cleaned before entering the combustion chamber. The air filter in the car does this job.

Over time, the VF becomes clogged and requires replacement. In this article we will tell you how to change the air filter in a Lada Largus with 8 and 16 valves and what you will need for this.
