Where is the oil filter for Lada Largus?

The Lada Largus fuel filter is the most important element of the engine power system of a domestic station wagon. It is responsible for the cleanliness of the fuel entering the combustion chamber of the car.

Probably every car owner understands that there is no perfectly clean fuel at any gas station. This is especially true at gas stations in Russia, where we actually live. Not only is the gasoline for LADA LARGUS at gas stations of low quality, but it may contain dirt, condensation and other small particles. To prevent all this “good” from getting into the injector, a fuel filter is used on the car.

Most often, a modern car is equipped with 2 fuel filters - coarse and fine. The coarse filter is a mesh that filters out large dirt particles, and the fine filter filters out the rest.

It is noteworthy that timely replacement of the fuel filter can increase the engine life by up to 30%.

Where is the Lada Largus fuel filter located?

This question worries many owners of domestic station wagons. The fact is that on injection Lada cars the fuel filter was always located above the rear beam and replacing it was a simple task. However, many who buy Lada Largus as their own plan to maintain their car themselves. But, not finding a fuel filter in the usual place, they begin to search on the Internet for the answer to the question “where is the fuel filter on the Lada Largus?” And only then do they find out that the fuel filter on the Lada Largus was moved directly to the fuel tank. Those. the filter itself acts as a glass in which the fuel pump is installed.

This is a proven solution that has been used on most foreign cars for several decades. In terms of replacement, of course, it’s not the easiest thing, but again, this is not such a common procedure.

Step-by-step replacement instructions

It is necessary to replace the oil filter at the same time that the lubricant is changed. These processes are integral to each other, otherwise the filter element will immediately become dirty due to waste lubricant. Lada Largus with 16 valves and 8 valves run on our roads. The first modification will have to remove the crankcase protection. But the 8-valve drain plug is more accessible.

Now let's see how to replace the oil filter on Largus in stages:

1. First, the car is driven into a pit or overpass, and the engine warms up for several minutes.
2. It is necessary to remove the engine or crankcase protection (depending on the modification).
3. We find the drain hole and place the prepared container under it. We unscrew the plug and the process of removing used oil from the system into the container begins. It usually lasts approximately 15 minutes depending on the volume in the system.
4. Using a handy tool, the old filtration element is unscrewed.
5. The seat is cleaned of dirt and dust with a clean rag. This is done to prevent contaminants from getting into the new filter.
6. We take a new filter element purchased ahead of time, fill it halfway with clean lubricant and lubricate the seat ring. We screw it back into place. The product twists without applying excessive force.
7. Open the hood and look for the filler neck on the cylinder block. Using a funnel, pour fresh oil from the canister, periodically checking the level with a dipstick. It should be between the minimum and maximum risks.
8. After making sure that there are no signs of leakage anywhere, you can start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. Then a control measurement of the lubricant level in the system is carried out. If necessary, add a small amount.

Thus, you can change the lubrication system filter on the Lada Largus without involving outside help. All that is required is to follow the instructions above. Over the next few days, you will need to check the oil level in the engine, and also remember to do this periodically throughout the entire life of the vehicle.

Lada Largus fuel filter replacement interval

According to the official regulations, the Lada Largus fuel filter has a resource equal to the entire service life of the car. In other words, AvtoVAZ says that the fuel filter does not require replacement and is designed for the entire service life of the car. And this is at least 160 thousand kilometers.

But from the experience of owners of such cars, we can conclude that the coarse filter begins to become clogged at 30-40 thousand kilometers, and the fine filter - at 80-90 thousand kilometers. In other words, the fuel filter on the Lada Largus really can withstand long mileage, but I would recommend changing the fuel filter much earlier.

The optimal replacement option is considered to be 30 thousand or 24 months. Believe me, with our quality of fuel this will be the most correct option. It’s both good for the car and easy on the pocket.

Expert comment:

The fuel filter on the Lada Largus, like on any other car, requires replacement. I don’t understand why AvtoVAZ engineers suddenly decided to make it maintenance-free. What changed? Has the quality of the fuel improved or have some innovative materials been used for filtration? I have been working in various services for over 30 years and have seen a lot in my time. And a common cause of car breakdowns is untimely car maintenance. Do it correctly and on time and you will be happy.

Prerequisites for replacing the fuel filter Lada Largus

— Partial loss of vehicle traction; — Poor start; — Unstable operation at idle; — Increased fuel consumption.

If you notice at least one of these signs, then the first thing you should think about is replacing the Lada Largus fuel filter.

Comment from the forum:

I have always considered replacing the fuel filter in gasoline cars to be a very subtle perversion. Paraffin is deposited in diesel engines. And there is nothing to be deposited in gasoline. Mechanical impurities will not create criminal obstruction in the filter.

Where is the oil filter located?

In order to competently change the filter element in the Lada Largus, you need to have an idea where it is located. To do this, open the hood lid and look into the engine compartment. We can find this consumable element in the left front part of the engine. You also need to pay attention to the quality of the purchased consumable component. When purchasing a low-grade fake, you need to understand that this directly affects the wear resistance of parts and components of the internal combustion engine.

If the lubricant in the motor does not meet the manufacturer’s requirements for its performance characteristics, then its service life will certainly be reduced. The oil filter also affects warranty service, which may be refused if it was installed of questionable quality. Based on viscosity, Lada Largus owners most often choose 5W30 or 5W40. However, it is necessary to evaluate the climatic features of the region where the car will primarily be used.

As for the manufacturer, there are many world-famous brands that have been producing high-quality filter elements for the lubrication system for many years. Among domestic manufacturers one can single out Lukoil, and among imported ones - Shell, MANN, ZIC, Elf, Mobil, etc. The main thing is that in terms of viscosity and other characteristics the oil meets the requirements set by the manufacturer (in this case AvtoVAZ).

During operation of the Lada Largus, the lubricating fluid loses its working properties. The following signs indicate this:

• loss of viscosity (oil becomes similar in consistency to water);
• color change to very dark and even black;
• the appearance in it of various kinds of deposits and wear products of rubbing engine parts.

Continued use of such a lubricant will not result in anything good for either the engine or the driver. In such a situation, it is necessary to change the engine oil, and at the same time the oil filter, as soon as possible. You should choose this product based on its functionality, and not on appearance or packaging. The main attention should be paid to the material from which the filter element is made and the quality of its performance.

Fans of a sporty driving style should opt for models in which the filtration element is made of synthetic materials. Such models are expensive. But they are resistant to stress and cope well with high operating temperatures. More affordable versions often use cotton, but this is enough for those who prefer a quiet driving experience.

Replacing the fuel filter Lada Largus

First of all, I would like to say that even an amateur auto mechanic can perform such work. To do this, you only need tools, a place where the work will be done and a little free time.

1. Remove the rear seat cushion.

2. Open the inspection hatch cover.

3. Disconnect the wire connector and move the wire harness to the side so that it is not in the way.

4. By pressing the latches, disconnect the fuel pipe and move it to the side. If you have not relieved the pressure from the system, then at this moment fuel may leak from it.

5. Using a mounting tool or a wide screwdriver, unscrew the fixing ring.

6. Take out the glass completely and move it to a place convenient for work, for example, on a workbench. Next we will analyze the glass.

7. To replace the mesh, use a flat screwdriver - carefully bend the latch and disconnect the lower part of the module. We remove the mesh.

8. To replace the fine fuel filter, disassemble the module, as shown in the photo:

... and install new filters in place. Then we simply put everything back together in reverse order.

After assembly, do not try to start the engine immediately. Turn the key several times to give the pump time to circulate fuel throughout the system.

All steps for changing oil on Largus “step by step”

Let's consider what to do before changing the oil in the Lada Largus engine if the number of valves is 16:

1. Warm up the engine, turn off the ignition, drive the car into the pit;
2. Remove the crankcase protection. You need a 10mm socket wrench - use it to unscrew the six screws from the bottom;

Fastening the crankcase protection

The protection is removed for one purpose - to get to the filter.

Draining waste (old engine oil)

There is no crankcase protection now. All that remains is to take the 8-sided socket and unscrew the drain plug.

Drain hole for plug

Make 1-2 turns with the key, then place an empty container and unscrew the cap by hand.

The time for draining used oil is at least 10 minutes. Be careful, the oil is hot!

After the waste has drained, the surface of the crankcase is wiped and the plug is wrapped. Thread tightening torque – 22 N*m.

Replacing the oil filter

It would seem that the old material has been drained and now is the time to complete the replacement. But you still need to change the oil filter.

Filter housing - put a puller on it

It is easier to access the filter housing from below. We take the puller and unscrew the filter by rotating the housing counterclockwise.

100-200 ml of waste will flow out of the old filter.

The new filter housing must be filled with oil, but not completely, but by a third. You will need 70-100 ml of material. The rubber seal is lubricated with the same oil.

Preparing the filter for installation

After wiping the engine crankcase, screw in the new filter until it stops. The tightening torque will be 15-17 N*m (by hand).

Pour in new oil

The oil volume in the Lada Largus engine, if the timing belt contains 16 valves, is 5 liters. You need to fill 4.8 liters through the neck. Then close the plug and start the engine.

The indicator light is now on

The point is to turn off the oil pressure light. We start, wait three minutes and turn off the engine.

Even if the control lamp did not light up, wait 5-6 minutes and check the level. The check is carried out using a dipstick, and you can find it near the power steering reservoir.

Oil level dipstick

We remove the dipstick and look at the marks. If necessary, add oil. The main thing is to return the dipstick to its place, pressing it all the way.

The filler neck can also be used to pump out oil. Thin tubes and a bulb will help solve the problem.

Fuel filter Lada Largus 16 valves article number

Since the Lada Largus fuel filter is designed for its entire service life, the manufacturer does not imply its replacement. Accordingly, there are no original fuel purification filters for Largus on sale.

Even if you go to the catalog, you will not find a fuel filter separately on the diagram. Only the electric fuel pump module assembly. It can be ordered using article number: 172024388R.

This module costs from 6.5 to 10 thousand rubles approximately. However, not everyone is willing to spend so much money on fuel system maintenance. Therefore, many manufacturers have launched the production of separate fuel filters for Lada Largus. Further in the table you will find the article numbers of fuel filters for 16 cl and 8 valve Lada Largus engines.

Table 1 - article numbers of fuel filters for the Lada Largus from third-party manufacturers

These filters can be found in almost any region, since the brands are well-known and known everywhere.

As for the mesh (coarse filter), it can be ordered by article number:

MPU025N MASUMA fuel filter (mesh) HS110138 PATRON fuel pump mesh

I found only 2 options, but I'm sure there are others. Anyone who has installed any proven grids, please write in the comments. I'll add options to the article.

If you plan to replace the pumping station assembly, then you can buy analogues of the entire fuel module. Here are some of them:

Replacing the air filter on an 8 valve engine

The air filter on an 8-valve engine is located under a plastic cover. After removing it, we will replace the filter.

First you need to unfasten the four spring latches

Now, using a regular Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the 5 screws securing the filter cover. The screws cannot be removed from the lid!

After unscrewing the cover, remove it, take out the filter, clean the housing from dust and debris, if any, and install a new filter. We reassemble in reverse order.

On an 8 valve engine, replacing the filter is much faster and easier than on a 16 valve engine.

What does the Lada Lagrus fuel filter look like in cross-section after 140 thousand km of run?

If you are still in doubt whether or not to change the fuel filter, then just look at the photo below:

The fuel filter was removed from a Lada Lagrus 8 valve car, which traveled approximately 140 thousand km. The car was purchased ex-showroom and the fuel system has never been serviced. The prerequisite for the replacement was a decrease in pressure in the fuel system, which led to a loss of vehicle power. After replacing the fuel filter, the car became playful and the pressure in the system returned to normal.

Signs of a clogged oil filter

The main purpose of the oil filter is to clean the circulating oil from impurities. They arise during the production of lubricating fluid, friction of mechanisms, and temperature changes.

A pressing issue for many car owners is identifying signs of the need for replacement . These usually include:

• extraneous sounds in engine operation, twitching, vibration;
• reduction in engine power, activation of the emergency light;
• change in lubricant color, appearance of sediment, burnt odor.

However, experts do not recommend waiting for such factors to manifest themselves. These signs already indicate malfunctions in the system and increased wear of parts. To prevent costly repairs, attention is paid to preventive measures and timely replacement of the lubricant and oil filter.

Regarding the operation of the filter itself, its throughput is emphasized. When worn, it decreases, which limits the supply of lubricant to the operating mechanisms of the engine.

Many car owners, instead of completely replacing the oil filter, clean it and return it to its place. This option is allowed as a temporary measure, however, for a long-term effect, the filter element must be changed along with the oil.
