Replacing the air filter Lada Vesta

The recommendation of the factory of the manufacturer of such cars as Lada Vesta states that the air filter must be changed every 30 kilometers. For owners of previous VAZ models, this interval does not seem like something unfamiliar, since it was exactly the same on the same Priora or Kalina. But you should not strictly adhere to this recommendation, since in different operating conditions the filter contamination can be different.

  • With the frequent use of Vesta in rural areas, especially with predominantly dirt roads, it is possible to replace at least every 10 thousand km, since even during this interval the filter element will be quite heavily contaminated
  • And vice versa - in urban mode, where there is practically no dust and dirt, it is quite reasonable to consider the manufacturer's recommendations and change it once every 30 thousand km.

If earlier at least some tools were needed to carry out this repair, now nothing is needed at all. Everything is done by hand without the use of unnecessary devices.
