Replacing the cabin filter on a Grant with your own hands

Even on old cars of the tenth VAZ family, in the early 2000s, a filter for the air entering the cabin was already installed. And it was located directly in front of the heater air intake. This is necessary to ensure that the air in the cabin is clean and does not generate a lot of dust and other harmful substances.

When is it necessary to change the cabin filter on the Grant?

There are several points, the occurrence of which may indicate that it is time to change the cabin filter.

  1. The onset of the new season - replace at least once a year, and preferably in the season
  2. Constant fogging of the windshield and other windows of the car - may indicate that the filter is very clogged
  3. Weak flow of incoming air through the heater deflectors

Where is the cabin filter and how can I replace it?

This element is located under the windshield trim (frill) on the right side of the car. Of course, you will need to unscrew it first. To do this most conveniently, turn on the ignition and start the wipers. It is necessary to turn off the ignition when the wipers are in the upper position. In this case, they will not interfere with us when performing this repair.

After that, we unscrew all the fastening screws of the frill, after removing the decorative plastic plugs using a thin knife or flat-blade screwdriver.

Now you can remove the old filter element without any problems. Please note that most likely it will be filled with dust, dirt, foliage and other debris. Try not to swing it near the heater opening so that all this rubbish does not get into the air ducts, and, of course, into the interior of your Grant.

Thoroughly clean the cabin filter seat and pay particular attention to the water drain hole. It is necessary so that during heavy rains, for example, water does not fill the heater niche and from there does not go into the salon. Unfortunately, some car owners do not pay special attention to this hole, and then, in the rain or at the car wash, they observe such a picture, when water streaks appear on the passenger mat.

We install the new cabin filter in its place so that it sits tightly and there are no gaps between its edges and the walls of the heater. We put all the removed parts in the reverse order of removal and on this we can assume that the replacement procedure is completed.

The price of a new cabin filter for a Grant is no more than 150-300 rubles, and the cost may differ depending on the manufacturer and the material from which it is made.
