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

How to change the air filter on a car of the first years of production

If the van or station wagon was manufactured before 2013, most likely the filter will be “round”. The filter element itself is closed on top with a lid, which is secured with latches.

Once you unfasten all the latches, you will not be able to remove the cover. You will need to unscrew 5 screws.

Procedure:

  1. We disengage the four latches;
  2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew all the screws;

    You need a Phillips screwdriver here.

  3. Remove the top cover and see the filter element;

    Everything is ready for replacement

  4. We are replacing the filter.

As you can see, the filter element allows two installation options. And both will be correct!

Installing a “round” filter

When replacing the air filter on a Lada Largus or Renault Logan, it is impossible to make a mistake.

The error “the filter is installed upside down” applies to cabin filters, and only to them.

As for the replacement period, it is equal to 15 thousand km, regardless of the engine version. This interval is sometimes halved.

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.

On 1.6 engines with 8 valves

  1. Unscrew the bolts.

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.

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.

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.

Where to buy high-quality spare parts for Largus cars

If you require high-quality, proven components for your machine, we will help you select the required spare parts. We have our own delivery service in Moscow and the region. In addition, we can deliver your order to other regions of Russia. The price of delivery in Moscow, the region, and other cities of Russia is calculated individually, depending on the distance and the amount of purchase.

We work only with trusted manufacturers, so you can be completely confident in the high quality of the purchased products.

Lada Largus cars have been produced since the beginning of 2012. This model was equipped with two types of 1.6-liter engines with 16 and 8 valves. The factory code of the air filter is 8200431051. Often the manufacturer uses Renault Logan filters with the code - 8201153808.

You can replace the filter on all frets yourself. Thanks to the simple design of the filter housing and accessible location, replacement is very easy, even without the literature at hand. Before buying a new spare part, you need to measure the dimensions of the old one, because it often happens that sellers make mistakes and sell the wrong filter.

According to factory recommendations on Lada Largus, the filter is replaced after 20 thousand mileage. If the filter is not replaced, the engine begins to “choke” and take on oil, which negatively affects the condition of the cylinder-piston system. As a result, carbon deposits may appear on the pistons, and this is a direct path to major repairs.

Lada sells modern filters, which are popularly called “nuleviks”. These products have a long service life because they can be washed. The service life of such filters is approximately 50 thousand kilometers.

I. On 1.6 engines with 8 valves:

Replacing the air filter on Lada Largus

a. It is necessary to remove the cover by first unscrewing several bolts.

b. Replace the filter element and install the housing back in the same sequence.

II. On 1.6 engines with 16 valves:

a. The filter is located in the center, behind the engine.

b. It is necessary to unscrew the 2 bolts that hold the housing.

c. We remove the air channels and plastic protection from the clamps.

d. We move on to removing the filter, move the housing to the side and remove the element.

e. In the same way, we insert a new filter and connect the parts of the housing.

f. We tighten the housing bolts and install the channels and plastic protection.

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.

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.

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.

K4M engine intake system

Results:

  • In “case 1” the increase in torque is noticeable over the entire frequency range. However, this increase is insignificant.
  • The harm from the muffler is expressed in the fact that there will be no gain “at the bottom”. Otherwise, the muffler does not affect the operation of the zero.

Draw conclusions.

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 will 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.
