Which side to install the cabin filter grant. How to replace the cabin filter on a Lada Granta car

Starting from the simplest configurations of the Lada Granta, a cabin filter is installed in the car. It gets dirty quite quickly, especially when driving on dusty roads. It’s not difficult to check its condition; to do this, turn on the airflow to the maximum 4th speed and watch the air duct nozzles. If particles of dust and dirt begin to blow out from there, it’s time to change the filter.

To replace, we need two screwdrivers - a Phillips and a specific TORX T20.

So, let's begin. Open the hood of the car. There is a plastic trim near the windshield that we need to remove. To do this, you need to unscrew the “T20” screws, which are marked in the photo. For convenience, first move the wipers to a vertical position.

Then remove the plastic cover and put it to the side for now.

Then we remove the casing and see our cabin filter there.

The filter turned out to be in terrible condition (after a little over 5 thousand kilometers).

It is glued into a frame from which it will have to be torn off. We are buying a new cabin filter from Lada Kalina. Catalog designation: 11180-8122010-82.

We put a frame from an old filter on it.

Install the filter in the reverse order of removal.

That's all! We enjoy clean air in the cabin of our Lada Granta.

It is designed so that the cabin filter on the Lada Granta is completely identical to the cleaning elements from the Niva (4x4), Lada Kalina. In fact, this is the same filter. The manufacturer did not come up with anything new when producing the Grant model. So when buying, feel free to choose one of the options, any will do.

It’s easier to replace the air purifier yourself, because the operation is not that complicated. Going to a service center requires time and money. Which is often missing.

Despite the perimeter protection of plastic, the air system element is very susceptible to moisture and splashes. There are frequent cases of premature wear and deformation due to moisture. For the purpose of maximum protection and increased service life, motorists practice putting a stocking over the filter. It serves as an additional purifier along the air flow path. How effective and acceptable this is is up to each individual to decide.

How often should I replace?

The operating instructions for the technical equipment indicate an interval of 30,000 km. mileage In practice, few car enthusiasts adhere to the recommendations and try to update the cleaner 5 - 7 thousand earlier than the deadline. If the machine is operated in special climatic zones with increased dust and gas pollution, reduce the service life of the paper filter by a third.

When is it necessary to replace the interior cleaner:

• The service station mechanic indicated that the deadline had arrived;
• major car repairs;
• recovery after an accident, collision, impact;
• water ingress after long trips through puddles;
• scheduled technical inspection in the workshop;
• an unpleasant odor, rot, and defilement can be heard in the cabin;
• The strength of the air flow from the deflectors has decreased, there is no airflow.

Choosing a cabin filter for Granta

Parameters of the factory filter element: rectangular shape, 16.1 x 25.6 x 3.55 cm. The filler is made of special paper laid in several layers. Along the outer perimeter there is a plastic casing, which simultaneously serves as a stiffening rib to avoid deformation of the product. Some models have an aluminum insert in the center, but the price of such a product is somewhat higher than its stock counterparts.

Factory catalog numbers:

• "Filter-Service", art. 11180-8122010-00 (11180-8122010-01, 11180-8122010-03, 11180-8122010-08), cost from 350 rubles;
• 1118-8122010-82, from 400 rubles;
• Lada Granta cabin filter with the addition of an absorber (carbon), 1118-8122010-00 (VF-018n), from 350 rubles;
• 11180-8122010-08 – analogue at a price of 250 rubles;
• Knecht Filter, LA 933, from 1200 rubles.

It is better to purchase factory-made consumables at official points of sale, dealers, and other representative offices. Recently, the most popular method has become the ordering and subsequent installation of spare parts in certified workshops. This can be explained by the following factors: low cost compared to alternative options, quality assurance, professional installation, post-warranty service.

Types of air filters

Structurally, the following types of air purification filters can be noted:

• Panel ones, in which the filter surface forms a plane.
• Cylindrical, in which the filter surface forms a cylinder.
• Frameless.

The most common material in the manufacture of an air filter is ordinary cardboard, but sometimes manufacturers use synthetic fiber in the manufacture of filter elements. Such air filters require increased attention from the car owner.

On some cars, most often sports models, so-called zero-resistance filters are installed.

Zero resistance filters consist of several layers of dense gauze, with special oil impregnation.

Compared to conventional filters, the air flow sucked into the engine intake manifold spends much less energy traveling from the external environment to the engine cylinders if a zero-resistance filter is installed on the car.

In addition, zero resistance air filters can be serviced instead of being replaced.

Maintenance consists of high-quality impregnation of the filter element with special oil.

Replacing the cabin filter of Lada Granta

Changing the cabin filter on a Lada Granta with your own hands is not that difficult, provided you follow the recommendations. No longer than 15 minutes in time.

Preparatory stage: a new cleaner strictly in accordance with the catalog articles indicated above, a set of automotive tools, a screwdriver, and rags.

Where is the cabin filter located: the location is not standard - under the frill on the right side. As car owners note, the design is inconvenient and access to the element is extremely difficult. To carry out maintenance yourself, you will need to remove two protective plastic covers.

Sequencing:

In conclusion, we assemble the structure of the Lada Granta air system, start the power unit, check the performance and tightness. If there is air leakage or deformation of the protective cover, the latter must be replaced.

Today we will talk about how to change the cabin filter on a Lada Granta

where it is located and how to get to it.
the cabin filter on the Lada Granta
at every scheduled maintenance, however, if you mostly operate your car in dusty areas, then you will have to do this obviously more often.
Just turn on the heater at full power and evaluate whether dust is entering the cabin; if the filter is heavily soiled, dust from the air ducts clearly enters the cabin. In our case, the cabin air filter
was in terrible condition:

To replace the air filter on the Grant, we will need a Phillips screwdriver and a TORX T20 screwdriver.

We unscrew 5 T20 type screws (marked in red in the photo)…

...and remove the plastic cover. Note that to make it easier to remove the frame, it is better to move the wipers to a vertical position.

Remove the plastic housing of the cabin filter.

We take out the filter, it is GLUED into a plastic frame. We rip the filter out of the frame and insert a filter from Kalina in its place. I took the cheapest one, because... I thought he wouldn't fit.

We put the filter in place and enjoy crystal clear air in the car =)

As you can see, there is nothing complicated in the process of replacing the filter on Grant

, you can do it in 30 minutes with a short smoke break. We will be glad to see you in our club of Lada Granta lovers on the forum.

Is your furnace not working well or is your air conditioner not blowing well? Regardless of the make and model of the car, anyone can encounter this problem. This is often due to a clogged cabin filter. Let's look at how to replace the Grant cabin filter.

When to change device

The manufacturer usually indicates the recommended frequency for replacing filters. For LADA Granta, this is approximately 15 thousand kilometers for the cabin filter (it is recommended to replace the air filter of the Lada Granta engine less often - after 30 thousand). But if the car is operated in conditions of increased atmospheric pollution with dust or gas, it makes sense to carry out the procedure more often - every 10 thousand kilometers. For example, the filter element is more likely to become unusable when constantly driving on dusty dirt roads or in a city with heavy traffic and large enterprises. Also, the durability of the filter is affected by its quality, the level of which, accordingly, is reflected in the cost.

The main signs that replacement is required:

As a result of timely replacement of the filter, the air in the cabin will become cleaner and more pleasant, the operation of the stove in winter and the air conditioner in summer will improve. Critical contamination of the filter elements, among other things, leads to the fact that the dirt accumulating in them along with moisture creates suitable conditions for the development of bacteria that successfully multiply in the ventilation system. Negative consequences of technical properties are also possible. For example, in a car with climate control, the lack of normal filtration can lead to disruption of the functioning of the air system and freezing of the evaporator radiator.

Some car owners, in order to save money, are in the habit of not replacing a damaged filter with a new one, but simply cleaning it. This idea is not very constructive and even harmful, since manual cleaning cannot restore the normal properties of the filter elements. This is especially true for carbon filters, the operation of which is associated with rather complex molecular processes.

It is more advisable to purchase another copy. Moreover, for the most part they are not that expensive. It is worth remembering that the price depends mainly on the materials from which the product is made and its quality. A simple dust filter captures mainly dust, while a carbon filter captures not only dust, but also gases.

If you don’t know the exact brand of the product, ask the store for a cabin filter for the Lada Granta. A similar one for Kalina is also suitable, since they are interchangeable. You can buy a filter part without a plastic housing, using an old one and saving a little on this.

Step-by-step filter replacement

To work, you will have to remove part of the decorative apron at the base of the windshield. To do this, raise the wipers to a vertical position.

.

To raise the wipers, turn on the ignition and start the wipers. As soon as they reach a vertical position, turn off the ignition. Now access to the apron is free.

Step 1: Raise the windshield wiper to a vertical position. Step 2: remove the plastic trim from the right wiper.

We gained access to the filter casing - use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the 2 screws securing the cover

. Let's take it off.

Remember the order in which you removed the cover. It is inconvenient to place it - it is better to know exactly which edge to place first.

Step 3: Remove the filter housing. We get access to the element itself.

Last thing

– bending the fastening latches,
remove the filter
. If there are leaves and debris underneath, you can vacuum or blow out the seat.

You can buy a new filter without a mounting frame. In this case, remove the old filter from its frame and use it to install the new one.

Step 4: replace the old part with a new one. If the new filter is in the frame, just put it in place. Otherwise, we use the frame from the old element.

Reassemble in reverse order

:

• 2 fastening latches;
• 2 self-tapping screws in the casing;
• 5 screws in a plastic cover.

Features of replacement for Grant standard, 8 valves without air conditioning

On a number of Grants, the standard configuration does not have a filter from the factory.

. Regardless of body type: sedan or liftback. What to do with such cars?

Just install the filter according to our instructions. There is simply no filter in the car - there is a place for it and access to it is the same.

Location and correct replacement

Any motorist can change the LADA Granta cabin filter with his own hands, without contacting a service center. This operation is quite simple and requires a minimum amount of time. To implement it, you will need a new unit and two screwdrivers: Phillips and TORX T20.

The cabin filter (also known as the ventilation system filter) is located under the right plastic trim under the windshield on all types of Lada Granta, be it a sedan or a liftback, equipped with 8 valves or 16 valves. If the car has just been driven, first open the hood and wait until the hot engine cools down. Then raise the wipers to a vertical position, use a TORX T20 screwdriver (or wrench) to unscrew and remove the trim.

Next, use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the plastic casing. We remove it, opening access to the damaged filter that requires replacement.

Now, carefully, trying not to break anything, we remove the old filter and replace it with a new one.

The filter element itself is contained in a rectangular plastic housing (frame). If you just purchased a device without a case, remove the old one from the frame, put the new one there and place it in its place.

The cabin filter is an essential element to maintain a favorable atmosphere inside the car. It requires timely replacement, based on its condition, and not on the indicative recommendations of the manufacturer or experts on the Internet. When choosing a filter, it is better to pay attention to more expensive products from reputable brands. The pursuit of a low price in this case means saving on your health.

How often to change

The plant regulates the replacement of air filters every 30,000 km. Practice shows a gap of 15,000 km from replacement to replacement. Or twice a year

before winter and summer respectively.

Which salon to choose

There are 2 types of cabin filters: carbon and regular. When choosing, consider the following points:

Table 1.

Comparison of cabin filters for Lada Granta

The choice for Granta is a matter of your preference. The cost of the part remains meager, even if it is impregnated with carbon. If you install a regular white element but change it regularly, it won’t make things worse. If you don’t change it for a long time, anyone will turn into this photo.

Replacing the filter yourself

You can replace it yourself; this does not require any special skills. If you lack confidence or tools, it is better to contact a car service center, where qualified technicians will quickly provide this service.

To form the air-fuel mixture, clean air must enter the combustion chamber. The conditions in which vehicles are operated are far from ideal. There is dust, dirt, combustion elements, midges and a lot of other debris in the air, which will get into the combustion chamber, clog the fuel system and otherwise harm the engine if it is not cleaned. To avoid such problems, an air filter is used. Air is sucked through it, and dirt settles on the filter, which should be changed periodically.

The process of replacing the cabin filter

1. To get started, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the five screws from the decorative cover under the hood.
   They are located between the engine compartment and the windshield. Remove the decorative cover. We have already written in more detail in response to a user’s question. Bolts are indicated by arrows (T20)
2. Unscrew the two bolts securing the air filter protective cover. Curly screwdriver. Remove the decorative cover.
   1 bolt of protective cover

   2 bolt of protective cover

3. Remove the cabin filter.
   To do this, press out the two fasteners on the sides of the filter. Bend the right latch and pull it towards you
4. If there is dirt or leaves under the filter (how does it get there?), then get rid of it.
   It's best to vacuum it. Cleaning the seat
5. The new filter is installed with foam facing down.
   Be careful not to mix it up. Snap the two latches. New cabin filter with foam facing down
6. Put on the protective fastener and secure it with bolts.
7. Put on the decorative fastener and secure it with bolts.

When installing a new filter, it may need to be bent, which can be done easily or with a little force, depending on the specific filter model. It is also important to remember which side the filter should be installed.

You can make sure that the installation is correct by looking at the side mark, which is an inscription with an arrow.

When is it necessary to replace the cabin filter?

Many people do not know when it is necessary to replace the cabin filter, or even whether it needs to be done.

Judging by the external condition of this filter, it is immediately clear why the air in the cabin is “dirty”

But this applies to “greenhouse” conditions, when the car is not actively exposed to dust pollution. In practice, replacement may even need to be done every five thousand kilometers if the car is operated on unpaved roads.

For owners of cars with air conditioning, an important question will be what kind of air enters the cabin, whether it is clean enough and whether it is at the right temperature. This is affected by the heating system filter, which may need to be replaced.

Air filter functions

The mass composition of the fuel mixture for high-quality combustion in the engine cylinders consists of 14 parts of air and 1 part of gasoline, that is, when burning 1 kg of gasoline, the volume of which is approximately 1 liter, 14 kg of air is consumed.

This makes it clear how much air passes through the engine cylinders during active operation.

Air, in the quantity necessary for engine operation, enters the intake manifold from the environment, which is often significantly polluted.

A device that cleans the air entering the engine intake tract from various contaminants and is an air filter.

A working air filter effectively cleans the air entering the engine intake manifold from small and large abrasive particles, dust, insects and other contaminants.

With active use of the car, over time, the air filter becomes clogged with dust and dirt. The air sucked into the engine intake tract enters there in less quantity. What causes a change in the stoichiometric composition of the combustible mixture, in which the mass fraction of gasoline increases, that is, the mixture becomes over-enriched and does not burn completely.

If the air filter is faulty:

1. The car loses traction and its power is significantly reduced.
2. Fuel efficiency decreases and gasoline consumption increases.
3. The content of toxic substances in exhaust gases increases significantly.

Important! It is important to understand that a faulty air filter does not clean the incoming air from dirt, but is a source of problems for the engine, which after a certain period of time will lead to its repair.

conclusions

Replacing the cabin filter is not a problem even for a novice car enthusiast.

All you need to do is arm yourself with a Phillips screwdriver and ten minutes of free time. Pay attention only to installing the filter in place. This may require some dexterity. As we have already said, moving away the sealing rubber of the hood, as well as the vacuum booster hose, will help to cope with the task.

• A new cabin filter for your car is available under the index 1118-8122010-01.
• It can be replaced with a filter from its “brother” in the form of the Lada Kalina, represented by catalog number 11180-8122010-82.
• Some car enthusiasts recommend installing an alternative version, Corteco 80000999, which is a carbon-based filter. Its installation is especially important if the car is operated in urban conditions.
