Replacing the air filter on Grant
The air filter on the Lada Grant car must be changed every 30 km. It is this mileage that is declared by the manufacturer and is printed on the air cover. But in reality, it is best to cut this gap by at least half. And there are reasons for this:
- Firstly, the operating conditions of cars are different, and if you constantly drive on country roads, there is a high probability that after 10 km, the filter will be very dirty.
- Secondly, the cost of the filter is so low that it can be done together with an engine oil change. And for many Granta drivers, this procedure occurs stably once every 10 km.
Instructions for replacing the air filter Lada Grants
First, open the hood of the car. After that, having wrung out the retainer of the DMRV harness block, we disconnect it from the sensor. This step is clearly shown in the photo below.
After that, using a screwdriver with a cross-shaped blade, unscrew the 4 screws securing the upper case cover, under which the Grants air filter is located.
Next, lift the lid up until the filter is available for removal. All this is perfectly visible in the photo below.
When the old filter element has been pulled out of the housing, dust and other foreign particles must be removed from the inside of the recess. And only after that we install the new one in its original place. Be sure to put it in the same position, with the ribs in the direction of the car. Do not forget that the more often you replace it, the less problems there will be with the fuel system of your car.
What's more, the cleanliness of the filter directly extends the life of the expensive MAF sensor. So choose either a permanently clean filter, which costs 100 rubles, or too frequent replacement of the DMRV, the price of which can sometimes reach 3800 rubles.
