All modern LADA cars (Granta, Vesta, Largus, XRAY, 4×4, Niva) are equipped with air conditioners. Among the owners there are many for whom LADA became the first car. In this regard, many questions related to the climate system arise. For example, how to turn on and use the air conditioner correctly or how climate control differs from air conditioning. Answers to questions related to air conditioning can be found in the vehicle's operating manual.
Unlike air conditioning, climate control automatically maintains the desired air temperature in the cabin. Climate control is a system consisting of an air conditioner, a heating system, a filtration system, special sensors located in different places, as well as an electronic climate control unit.
About the conventions
Let us remember that the practical Lada Granta model went into production back in 2011. This modern car is full of new modifications of complex instruments and electronic devices. All this aims to provide the driver with maximum driving comfort. Today VAZ produces the Lada Granta in three versions in terms of equipment:
The first two options have the same wiring diagram, but in the “Lux” it is different. It's a shame that the factory operating instructions for the car do not contain this wiring diagram. However, do not rush to get upset, because such an album with the entire list of schemes can be purchased in the market network of auto goods.
Electrical cabling involves the presence of a large number of bundles. The wiring diagram has symbols and serial numbers, each of which is assigned to a strictly specific pantograph. These consumers in the diagram are switched into the general network via conventional lines. To increase clarity, the developers used different colors for the lines. Next, the wires are assembled into bundles, which are connected to electrical units using special connectors.
How to check the air conditioning compressor clutch
The most reliable way to check the air conditioning system is diagnostics at a specialized car service center, but the buyer does not always have the opportunity to check the serviceability of the car at a service station. Often the seller, when asked if the air conditioner works, begins to answer evasively:
- the system works, but freon is not charged;
- one of the pipes has burst, it needs to be replaced, but the air conditioner is fine;
- We took off the belt for the winter because it was torn.
All answers of this kind should be alarming, since the main reason for the malfunction of the air conditioning system is the failure of the compressor; it is this part that is the most expensive in the air conditioning system. In a compressor, the clutch is the first to fail, so its functionality should be checked.
How to check the air conditioning compressor clutch? We do the following:
- turn on the air conditioner operation button, the power indicator should light up;
- When turned on, a click should be heard in the engine compartment, so the clutch connects to the compressor itself.
Air conditioning compressor for VAZ Granta, Largus, Kalina 2, Datsun
Dear customers, in order to avoid mistakes when sending the VAZ 2190 air conditioning compressor assembly, please indicate your car model and year of manufacture in the “Comment” line.
On VAZ 2190, Kalina 2, Largus, Datsun cars, HALLA[/anchor] air conditioners are installed - Korean made.
The air conditioning system consists of the following elements: compressor, condenser, evaporator, receiver-dryer and pipelines.
1- heater with evaporator assembly; 2 — radiator of the cooling system with fan; 3 — capacitor with receiver and electric fan; 4 - temperature sensor; 5 - compressor pipeline; 6 — compressor with an electromagnetic clutch; 7 — pipeline block; 8 - controller; 9 — cabin temperature sensor.
The compressor is a single-throw three-blade rotor type. The compressor creates the pressure necessary for the air conditioner to operate and circulates the refrigerant. The compressor is installed under the generator. Torque is transmitted to the compressor shaft from the crankshaft by a poly-V-belt through an electromagnetic clutch.
The condenser is a heat exchanger and is designed to cool the refrigerant by removing heat to the environment. The condenser cools the high temperature and high pressure refrigerant gas coming from the compressor and condenses it into liquid refrigerant. The condenser is installed on the radiator frame in front of the radiator of the cooling system.
The evaporator is a heat exchanger and is designed to cool and dry the air entering the vehicle interior. The evaporator unit is installed in the heater housing in front of the heater core.
The receiver is a metal cylinder attached to a capacitor. The receiver is designed to accumulate refrigerant in a liquid state, separating moisture and possible mechanical parts from it. The receiver has a removable filter drier.

A lot has been written about Grant, but there is little information about its “semi-sports” version of Drive Active from Super Auto, at least I collected it bit by bit before purchasing it. I think many will be interested in a review from a simple, unbiased owner, not from the press. A little background so that my general point of view on cars and my attitude towards them is clear.
I always strive to buy a new car. Let it be the cheapest representative of the VAZ family but new. This is due to the fact that I myself am more or less versed in mechanics, electrics, engines, chassis, etc. I’m not a great specialist, but I’m not a layman either, I know what I’m talking about. So, I would never buy a 10-15 year old German, much less buy a new Chinese one.
At the age of about 7 years, depending on the mileage, of course, the inevitable aging of the car begins, this is actually complete wear and tear, and only if you are ready to do major repairs, like how airplanes are repaired by simply constantly replacing all components with new ones, then God help you , you can buy an old car and make a new one out of it.
The downside is that the money will be spent, but it will not cost like new. Therefore, my opinion is that it’s better to drive the new one for 4 years, sell it while it’s worth something and buy a new one again. This is the tactic I stick to. If someone thinks that if a car is foreign-made, it will last much longer without malfunctions, alas, this is not the case.
Everything breaks, including Mercedes. Of course, on VAZ cars there can be a lot of manufacturing defects, initial defects in parts, which happens much less often with foreign cars, but nevertheless, everything breaks, and the old ones even more so.
I feel much calmer knowing that the engine (and not only) has been well maintained since new, has been operated correctly, serviced on time, no one has damaged it or driven it with leaked oil, this is very important to me. It is clear that if a car has had three owners and is ten years old, then it is hardly possible to confidently say that it has always been well maintained.
Therefore, it’s new and only new, even if it’s the cheapest. But this may be my personal quirk; most people take it more calmly. Closer to the topic. Before this, I had a VAZ classic and a 2115 from scratch, and we will mainly compare them with them, since Granta came to replace these models, and at the same time we will compare them with the budget segment of foreign cars, which we had the opportunity to drive several times.
Active Drive, like Granta sport, is the brainchild of Super Auto LLC, a company separate from AvtoVAZ, which takes an ordinary production car and modifies it. Active Drive is a semi-sport type, a car equipped with a conventional engine 21127 106 liters. With. but at the same time decorated with a “sport” body kit. The suspension and interior have also been slightly changed.
Of the Sport and Active Drive versions, I deliberately chose Active Drive because I wanted a regular production engine with standard camshafts, since it is better suited to urban everyday driving.
Why didn’t you choose the usual VAZ equipment? Because “Super Auto”, by changing only the bumpers on the exterior and installing a spoiler, was able to give the car a completely different look, why AvtoVAZ can’t do this... I don’t know. So, the salon. In my case, the seats are not the same as in regular Grants; they have lateral support, covers with zippers and human headrests.
Installation of air conditioning in Lada Granta
Initially, the car was purchased as a relatively cheap analogue of a foreign car. The key point here is price. But time passes and I wanted to make my Granta a truly modern, comfortable car. Window closers, rain sensor, parking assistance system - everything was successfully installed.
It's the turn of the air conditioner. The task was made easier by the fact that AvtoVAZ had already carried out the necessary preparations for this system, which indicates the future serial production of this model. Installation of an air conditioner in a Lada Granta proceeds according to the following scheme:
An additional radiator-heat exchanger with a fan is installed.
What is noteworthy is that due to the fact that it is installed in front of the main radiator, when the air conditioner is turned on, the optimal engine temperature is maintained.
This happens due to the passage of air through both radiators. The main part of the system is the compressor. It was installed near the generator. It is connected via a belt drive from the motor shaft.
We must immediately make a reservation that if you value the warranty, then the installation will have to be postponed until it expires. It’s just that today the unit undergoes all the necessary checks from the engineers of the Volzhsky Auto Plant.
They have not yet given an official answer. No dealer will allow you to install it. And when installing an air conditioner at a dealer, there will be a warranty on the new device, but it will be removed from the engine.
In Russia, climate control systems from FROST are currently being installed on Granta. It is advisable to carefully check all the documentation for the device, and most importantly, entrust the installation to professionals. Due to the fact that E-gas is installed on the Grant, there is no interference with the vehicle’s control system, and the speed automatically increases as the load on the engine increases.
The installation of an air conditioner in the Lada Granta did not cause any significant loss of power. The new firmware with the climate control included in it helped. In reality, it works something like this: when the tachometer needle reaches 2500, the car simply begins to rush forward. Dynamics appear that are not present during normal driving. But all this is associated with increased fuel consumption. Although is it worth thinking about it when gaining such comfort?

Do you know how to use air conditioning? Basic mistakes
Thenewsmarket.com portal together with CEAT specialists gives the five most common mistakes when using an air conditioner, as well as some tips on how to make it work more efficiently.
Advice one
When getting into a car that has been in the heat for a long time, the first thing a car enthusiast tries to do is turn on the air conditioning at full blast. And this is wrong! If the interior has heated up to 60 degrees Celsius, the temperature will drop much faster to a comfortable level (+ 25 degrees) if you first open all the doors and windows and ventilate the interior for a minute. This will naturally cool the car. Once the car has aired out, you can get behind the wheel, close the windows and turn on the air conditioning.
