Replacing the fuel pump mesh with VAZ 2114 and 2115
One of the reasons why the pressure in the fuel system of the VAZ 2114 may decrease may be the contamination of the fuel pump grid. In this case, we will talk about one specific type of fuel pump, by the example of which everything will be shown. Although, in fact, pumps are different in appearance and design.
In order to replace the mesh filter, the first step is to remove the fuel pump from the tank, and only after that you can tackle the mesh itself. This may require the following tools:
- Flat and Phillips screwdrivers
- 7mm head and extension
- Ratchet or crank
- Key 17 (if the fittings are on nuts)
To watch a video instruction on dismantling the fuel pump from the tank, you can watch it on my channel by clicking on the link in the right column of the menu. As for the mesh filter itself, I will give everything below in this article.

In this example, the design is the most understandable and simple, therefore, there were practically no problems with this type of repair. There are other types of pumps that differ in their design, and everything will be a little different there.
It should be borne in mind that a new mesh is only worth buying when you know for sure how it is installed on your car. The price of this part is usually no more than 50-100 rubles, so you should not delay this procedure and perform it periodically to avoid clogging the fuel system.
It is also worth noting the fact that when removing the fuel pump, carefully inspect the internal state of the tank, and, if necessary, thoroughly clean or rinse it to get rid of foreign particles and formations.
