Self-replacement of the cabin filter of Lada Largus

In modern cars, the cabin filter is designed to ensure the purity of the air coming from outside. In this way, a comfortable atmosphere is created inside the interior, which has a positive effect not only on health, but also on the general well-being of the driver and his companions. Unfortunately, we note that many domestic models do not have this pleasant option. This is caused primarily by the desire of manufacturers to pursue a minimization policy. However, among the galaxy of Russian cars, we were able to find several exceptions, among which the Lada Largus found its place. Let us remind you that the design solutions of the “Russian car” are based on the Renault Logan MCV model. “French”, of course, has a cabin filter.

The owner of a Lada Largus only has to do a little - purchase and proudly install a filter element in his car. And we'll tell you. Where is this element located in the car, and also how to change it correctly.

Types of filters and the right choice

Cabin filters are divided into 2 types. The classification is based on the material used to manufacture the consumable. It also determines the production technique and the final cost. Types of cabin filters for Largus:

• ordinary;
• carbonic.

The construction of a conventional Largus cabin filter uses synthetic material. It can trap pollen and large dust particles. Often the material of the device has antibacterial impregnation.

Carbon filters are distinguished by the use of the same material. Thanks to its absorbent properties, coal traps and kills microbes and prevents small dust particles from penetrating through the fibers.

For your information! Carbon cabin filters for Largus are distinguished by their high cost.

When choosing a cabin filter model, you need to rely on several nuances:

1. Final result. If you want simple protection from dust and pollen, a conventional device is sufficient. But complete air purification, especially from allergens, is possible only with a carbon cabin filter.
2. Ecology of the area. Think about the areas where Largus is most likely to be driven. There are a lot of cars in cities, and they emit exhaust gases with soot particles. Plus you often have to sit in traffic jams. As a result, the ideal choice would be the coal option. Outside the city, dust removal is sufficient, so a regular device will suffice if there are no allergies.
3. Finance. It is necessary to take into account that you will have to pay money not only for the cleaning device, but also for installation. You can save money by installing it yourself.

After weighing the pros and cons of the above 3 points, you can purchase a functional device that will have a positive effect on the microclimate of the Lada Largus interior. You shouldn’t skimp on an air purification system – it’s for your health. His treatment will cost more. At the end - an educational video to reinforce the material:

Self-diagnosis

• Squeeze the parking brake, turn on the ignition, and start the engine.
• Turn on the heating fan.
• Determine the characteristic type of sign of clogging of the cleaning element.
• When you press the heater control lever, the fan does not move. Check the integrity of the fuse (No. 22) in the mounting block, which is located under the dashboard, to the left of the steering column.
• Remove the air purifier, inspect it, check the degree of clogging of the hygroscopic fiber.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to blow compressed air onto the fibers.
• Blow out the air ducts, remove remaining debris, leaves, and dust.

Practical recommendations for selection Replacing the cabin filter of a Lada Largus can be a real test for the car owner. The location of the part is inconvenient. And to replace it yourself, you will need to remove the front seat.

In the video there is an “inset” and installation of a cabin filter on Largus:

The process of replacing the cabin filter on Lada Largus

Since the cabin filter was not installed on the car, the plug was retained. Let's look at the process of first installing a cabin filter:

1. For convenience, remove the front passenger seat.
   The seat can be easily removed
2. We find a hole in the panel that can be reached from the passenger's feet.
   The location of the hole is indicated by an arrow, and the necessary tool is in the photo
3. It can be seen that the plug is not removable and will have to be cut out with a knife or other available means.
   It can be seen that the plug is not removable
4. There is a place on the plug where the pin is marked; there is no need to cut it out, since the filter will not stand properly.
5. Let's start cutting.
   Let's start the sidebar
6. Finished cutting.
   Finished the tie-in!
7. Pressing down the edges a little, insert the filter and push it all the way through.
   Ready, filter installed

All initial filter installation is complete. Now let's look at the replacement process:

1. Find the place to install the filter.
2. Using a screwdriver, we try to pull it out. If you don't succeed the first time, then you should try again.
3. We squeeze the new filter around the edges and insert it.
4. To check the tightness of the installation, you must turn on the stove.

The process of replacing the cabin filter is one of the simplest in car repair operations.

Before you start using

As a rule, the AvtoVAZ plant (and now Renault) skimps on some parts and consumables, and therefore the manufacturer often does not install a cabin filter on the Lada Largus. It is for this reason that many car owners install it themselves.

How often should it be changed: recommendations and reasons

According to the manufacturer's recommendations, the cabin filter must be changed once a year. But at the international convention of automakers, which took place on December 1, 2012, this issue was considered separately.

Most major manufacturers have come to the conclusion that the cabin filter needs to be changed twice a year - in autumn and spring.

In winter, especially in regions where wet snow and a lot of dirt prevail, they heavily pollute the surrounding air, which leads to filter clogging. But in the summer, there is a lot of dust and solids in the air that clog the cabin filter element.

The cabin filter serves as a filter for air entering the cabin.

Failure to replace this element in a timely manner can be a significant cause of deterioration in health, primarily for the driver. The accumulation of dust on the roads ends up in the cabin, where there is no air recirculation.

This leaves the passenger's lungs at risk of foreign substances entering the lungs, which can cause asthma, lung disease and cancer. Therefore, it is recommended to change the cabin filter 2 times a year.

Selecting a filter for Largus

Since the original cabin filter on the Lada Largus is of too poor quality, most car owners choose analogues. Let's consider both options.

Original filter

77 01 059 997 is the original catalog number of the cabin filter. It is installed in a standard seat and does not require modifications. The cost of such a product is about 500 rubles.

Analogs

Cabin filter TSN, item number can be seen in the photo

Analogs of the original filter are much higher quality, so it is recommended to install them. The table selects the highest quality products that are popular among CIS motorists:

Non-carbon cabin filter, one of the cheapest

All these products are an order of magnitude more expensive than the original, but you should not skimp on quality, especially if it concerns health.

Coal GOODWILL (article AG 136 CFC)

Replacing the cabin filter of a Lada Largus is a fairly simple process and does not require special skills or tools. It is worth noting that the change should be carried out twice a year if health is at a premium. Therefore, you should approach the choice of parts responsibly - this is not something you should save on.

Installation of cabin filter in Largus

Replacing a cabin filter with an air conditioner is not difficult, however, it is quite uncomfortable, since the location of the filter component is very difficult to access, or rather, under the front panel of the LADA Largus, when viewed from the passenger seat. Many owners do not even know where this filter is located. Before the “operation” we recommend dismantling the designated seat using the appropriate key. The most advantageous “posture” when working may be a recumbent position with your legs thrown up on the rear seat row cushion. This is more comfortable than the kneeling position, which involves an unnatural bending of the body. Your head should be “armed” with a flashlight so as not to miss a single significant moment during the work process.

Having studied the documentation supplied with the car, we find the location of the filter. In Lada Largus this place is closed using a rectangular plastic plug. There must be a special support pin on the top edge of this component, indicated by the corresponding mark. To make it possible to install the filter, the marked plug will need to be cut out with a knife.

Please be patient as the plug material is quite tough and resists cutting. Use a ruler to make the cut neat. If small burrs appear during the action, they can be eliminated using the same knife

We move our attention towards the previously indicated pin, which cannot be cut out in order to be able to fix the new filter. When performing the operation, “arm yourself” with maximum concentration and accuracy, because this will ensure installation of the filter without the need for additional sealing manipulations. Now the owner of Lada Largus is faced with an unexpected surprise, because the dimensions of the cut opening are somewhat small for installing a larger filter

To install the component correctly, we slightly crush it on the outside and move it inside, gradually pressing it against the far wall of the panel. When the owner purchases a quality product, its lower edge is made in the form of a lid, which allows the air openings formed under the front panel to be sealed

Now the owner of Lada Largus is faced with an unexpected surprise, because the dimensions of the cut opening are somewhat small for installing a larger filter. To install the component correctly, we slightly crush it on the outside and move it inside, gradually pressing it against the far wall of the panel. When the owner purchases a quality product, its lower edge is made in the form of a lid, which allows the air openings formed under the front panel to be sealed.

After this, we turn on the heating system fan at full power and at the same time check the ability of the deflectors to freely direct air into the cabin. If all the recommendations are followed correctly, the filter built into the depths of the panel will last quite a long time.

When, after installing the filter component, some of the deflectors refuse to direct air into the cabin, care should be taken to check the correct installation of the component in the Lada Largus car.

The most common causes for this defect are:

• a filter with poor quality was purchased;
• during the production of the plug cutout, extra holes were formed in the side of the panel;
• The lid did not close completely.

In some cases, manipulations with adjusting the filter in the seat will not help, then additional sealing is required. Masking tape is ideal for these purposes. As an alternative, insulating tape can improve the situation, but it must be of decent quality. Avoid using sealant or adhesive as subsequent replacement will require you to cut out the used component. There is a considerable risk of damaging the filter seat or inadvertently touching the nearby evaporator of the air conditioning system.

After completing the necessary sealing procedures, do not be too lazy to check the functionality of the blowing system. For this purpose, you will need to set the maximum impeller rotation speed for at least 5 minutes. If you accidentally break the support pin during the installation process, you will need to install the specified component again. For this purpose, it may be useful to use strips of metal, from which you will need to construct suitable brackets. Replacement of the cabin filter with air conditioning is completed.

Replacement frequency

Regardless of whether your Largus or Largus Cross has a cabin filter from the factory, or you install it yourself, the recommendations regarding replacement intervals will remain the same for everyone.

The official instruction manual attached to the Largus and the Cross version states that it is recommended to change the consumables every 15 thousand kilometers traveled. But the figure is quite arbitrary and does not coincide with the real wear rate of even the highest quality consumables.

In general, high-quality filters wear out faster because they have smaller pores that can trap the smallest particles of dust, debris and other contaminants that penetrate the ventilation system. And cheap consumables let large volumes of particles pass by, retaining only larger ones. If you care about your own health, use really good cabin air filters.

Those who travel a relatively small number of kilometers using Largus to travel to work and home may not even cover 15 thousand kilometers in a year. But it is not recommended to operate a machine with an old filter for more than 1 year.

The optimal replacement interval is considered to be from 7 to 10 thousand kilometers. This is relevant for those who live in a large city and are faced with traffic jams, exhaust gases and other air pollution, as well as for residents of the suburbs, where they often have to drive on dusty roads. All this quickly contaminates the filter, so it needs to be replaced earlier than the indicated 15 thousand km.

The motorist can understand for himself when the filter on his Largus or Largus Cross has worn out and needs to be replaced. There are several signs indicating this:

• in the cabin, when parked and driving, an unpleasant odor is felt, which has putrid and sour undertones;
• air comes out of the deflectors in weak streams, or it does not circulate at all;
• when the windows are closed and the ventilation or stove is turned on, the glass quickly begins to fog up;
• Particles of debris, leaves and other contaminants fly into the cabin through the deflectors.

If you observe at least one of the presented signs, your cabin filter has already outlived its usefulness. It is recommended to replace the consumable as soon as possible.

Do-it-yourself Lada Largus air filter replacement

How to change the air filter on a Lada Largus yourself?

Cars of the Largus model appeared on our market more than three years ago. The car is equipped with two types of power units with a volume of 1.6 liters of 8 and 16 cl. The Lada Largus air filter supplied from the factory is usually coded 8200431051. But sometimes, including the manufacturer, they install an air purifier from the Renault company, the marking of which is 8201153808.

Replacing the filter element on all VAZ cars is usually done on your own. The design of the filter is very simple and the developers have placed it in a very convenient place. To change it, you do not need any special knowledge, and you do not need to dismantle any additional systems or components. On the eve of purchasing a new air purifier, you need to measure the old one, since it often happens that they sell absolutely the wrong filter.

Car Lada Largus

The instructions that come with the vehicle indicate that replacement is necessary after 20,000 kilometers. But given the quality of our roads and the pollution of megacities, it is better not to reach this deadline. Also, earlier replacement is necessary if you often drive on dusty dirt roads. If you are late with the replacement, you can cause serious damage to the power plant of the Lada Largus car.

As drivers say, the engine will begin to choke and oil consumption will increase, resulting in leakage from the cylinders and pistons. And then a major overhaul. Modern filters for VAZ cars are distinguished by the fact that they can be washed. This is very convenient as their service life doubles.

Need for replacement

In any power unit, the air filter plays an extremely important role in providing the system with a high-quality air-fuel mixture. The engine power directly depends on the quality of the incoming mixture. But, during operation, the surfaces of the filter element become dirty. If you do not pay attention to this in a timely manner, then over time they will simply stop letting air through, not to mention its quality. This can be compared to a person running a long distance and at the same time breathing through a dirty rag. As you yourself understand, it won’t last long, and it’s simply stupid to talk about any results.

A car with an old filter will not only lose its power, but will also consume much more fuel. Since the Lada Largus filter is located in a very convenient and accessible place, don’t be lazy to look there as often as possible. If you find that it is dirty, replace it immediately. If the filter is washable, then at least wash it or dry it out. Such work is feasible even for a car enthusiast who cannot boast of extensive experience in operating a car.

Replacement process (for 8 and 16 valve cars)

Replacing the air cleaning element on a Lada Largus car with a sixteen-valve and eight-valve engine is slightly different. Therefore, for each type of power unit we will describe the replacement process separately.

It is better to carry out work on a level, well-lit and ventilated area. Prepare a bag immediately so that you can put the dirty filter in it.

Unscrew the two bolts holding the housing. Next, you need to remove the air channels from the clamps. We remove the protection. The filter housing must be moved slightly to the side. Remove the filter element. We install a new one. We return the body to its place. We put the air channels in place. We put the plastic protection in place. We tighten the bolts. All that remains is to tighten the air duct clamps and the job is done. After checking the fastening, start the car.

Conclusion

As you can see, the work is very simple. It can take ten minutes, fifteen at most. Solving such problems at a service station is a waste of time and money. But, nevertheless, despite its apparent simplicity, this process is extremely important for the normal functioning of the Lada Largus engine. Don’t forget to periodically check the condition of the replaced element and your car will delight you not only with a fast and comfortable ride, but also with low fuel consumption. To better understand the process of replacing the air barrier, take a look at what we offer.

Installation and replacement

Lada Priora hatchback Star Maggie Logbook Replacing the cabin filter of Priora without air conditioning

Yes, it’s not particularly pleasant to realize the fact that AvtoVAZ decided to save money on consumers and simply plug the box for the cabin filter. But this is a feature of the platform on which the domestic version of the French Logan and Romanian Dacia is created. The manufacturer considered it necessary to leave the box, but close it with a solid plug.

Even if you bought the first versions of Largus, or you got an inexpensive package, where there is no cabin filter from the factory, but only a housing for it, you can get out of this situation.

First of all, you have to find the housing itself for the cabin filter. To do this, move to the front passenger seat and look in the foot area. On the back of the center console. To put it simply, it’s near the front passenger’s left foot directly under the glove compartment. It is not necessary to remove the glove compartment for these purposes. Some people completely disassemble the assembly and take out the body in order to be able to lay out the casing somewhere on the table and carefully cut out the excess from there. But this way you will spend much more time and effort.

Self-installation and replacement of the cabin filter is performed in the following sequence:

• To work, you will need a sharp utility knife and a new filter. There is no need to use any additional tools, since nothing is covered or covered.
• Place the machine on a level surface and have a good light source. It is better to take a carrier or take a bright flashlight with you.
• Depending on the size of the car owner, some people simply need to move the front passenger seat back all the way. If you feel that it is frankly inconvenient to climb under the glove compartment, you can remove the seat itself. It is held in place only by 4 mounting bolts located on the slide. They need to be unscrewed and the chair can be easily removed.
• Now move under the glove compartment and look for a plastic housing on your left side. It is designed to be placed inside the cabin filter housing. But if there is a blank plug there, your configuration does not include a standard consumable. And the previous owner, if Largus was taken from his hands, did not dare to install a cabin filter.
• On the plastic case you will clearly see the contours of the plastic insert. This is the same plug with which they decided to close the case for some reason, instead of just putting a filter there already in the basic versions.
• The hole must be cut very carefully so as not to cut off excess, but at the same time create an optimal opening for the filter consumable.
• When you have cut the plug along the contour, it is recommended to additionally clean the corners using sandpaper or a file. This will remove all burrs, thereby preventing you from tearing the filter during installation.
• The plastic used here is hard and dense. Therefore, simply cutting it out is unlikely to work. Unless you have a hot knife. But usually the plug is cut out in pieces. Take your time, and everything will definitely work out.
• When the opening is ready, take a new filter, squeeze it a little like an accordion, and insert it.
• Since the Largus filters have a plastic cover, it will be the one that can cover the opening that you previously cut out. This will ensure a fairly tight fit of the consumable inside the case.

The most difficult thing in replacing the filter on LADA Largus and Cross cars is precisely the need to cut out the plug on some versions.

The further replacement procedure is extremely simple. Filters provided by the factory and installed by yourself by cutting the housing can be easily removed without the need to unscrew anything, remove the glove compartment and carry out other dismantling work. Reach under the glove box on the front passenger side, pull the plastic cover of the consumable and remove it from its seat. Before installing a new element, you should clean the filter housing with a vacuum cleaner with a narrow nozzle, and just as easily install a new filter component.

Largus cars are not perfect, regardless of whether the cargo van in front of you, a station wagon or supposedly a Crossover in the case of the Cross version, but they still have certain advantages. Solving the problem of a missing cabin filter is quite simple on your own. At the same time, to replace consumables in the future, no tools or multi-stage dismantling and assembly work are needed. Everything can be done in just a few minutes, if you count the time spent cleaning the case from accumulated dirt.

Replacement process

Replacing the cabin filter in Largus 16 valves can be done immediately after preparing for this process.

Safety regulations:

• The replacement procedure must be carried out in a dry place. A small amount of moisture on the new filter can damage it;
• The cabin filter should be replaced by a person who does not have respiratory problems or allergies. Otherwise, the procedure will need to be entrusted to a third party;
• Carry out the procedure exclusively with gloves so that bacteria accumulated in this area do not get on the skin and cause irritation.

Necessary tools for replacing the cabin filter on Largus:

• New filter element with catalog number 7701059997;
• Slotted screwdriver;
• Compressor or vacuum cleaner;
• A sharp knife or metal file.

The location of the filter element is behind the glove box on the passenger side.

Step-by-step instructions for replacing the filtration element in Lada Largus:

1. Open the front passenger door and move the seat as far back as possible.
2. Bend down to inspect the filter element cover. The location of the plug is near the left foot of the front passenger.
3. You will need to cut the end cap. To do this you will need a knife or metal file.
4. Turn on the ventilation system at maximum speed. This will help bleed the filtration system.
5. The new filter is sold assembled (with a new plug).
6. The new element is larger than the installation hole. Therefore, when replacing it you need to clamp it. Install the top side first and then snap the bottom side into place.
7. Reassemble everything in reverse order. Check the functionality of the ventilation system.

The replacement process is labor intensive. But you can do it yourself, slowly. The approximate time required to replace the cabin filter in Largus: 30-40 minutes.

Filter selection

Before you change the cabin filter on Largus yourself, you need to purchase the filter element itself. With the current assortment, this is extremely easy to do.

There is no point in buying old filters that were used on the very first versions of the Largus model. Those filters were made on the basis of hygroscopic fibers and were made in only one layer. The effectiveness of such an air purifier was frankly weak, and there was no need to rely on high-quality results.

But the manufacturer reconsidered its approach to the production of consumables and began to offer an improved version. It was followed by manufacturers of analogues, who offered their own filter options for the regular Largus van and station wagon, as well as for the Cross version.

Improved filters now have two layers. The most expensive trim levels even come from the factory with a carbon filter with a special absorbent layer. The peculiarity of this element is its ability to trap exhaust gases and unpleasant odors.

If you prefer original spare parts, then look for the part under catalog number 7701059997. For such a filter they will charge you at least 500 rubles, which is quite expensive, considering the current prices for analogues.

Among non-original filters for Largus and Largus Cross, the choice is simply huge. For some reason, a large number of manufacturers considered it necessary to make their own filter elements for this machine. But there is nothing surprising here, since in fact we are talking about the same filters for several different machines:

• Renault Logan MCV.
• Dacia Logan MCV.
• Lada Lagrus.
• Lada Largus Cross.

There is nothing complicated about making the same consumables with possibly different catalog numbers and designations on the packaging.

Among the manufacturers whose assortment includes consumables suitable for Largus, the following can be noted:

• Sakura.
• Muller Filter.
• WIX.
• Nevsky.
• Kamoka.
• Goodwill.
• Clean Filters.
• AMC.
• Profit.
• BIG Filter.
• Kraft.
• Master Sport.
• JC Premium.
• Finwhale.
• Delphi.
• Febi.
• Bosch.
• Filtron.
• Mann.

Some of them cost about 350 rubles, others will cost at least 400 rubles. Products from leading manufacturers such as Filtron, Bosch and Mann are even more expensive than the original. And this doesn’t happen very often, so that analogues turn out to be more expensive than original spare parts.

The motorist only has to make the final choice and purchase consumables. Structurally, it differs in that it immediately contains a plastic frame. This will allow you to close the very hole that owners of simple configurations in Largus have to do with their own hands in order to be able to fully use the space of the box for the cabin filter.

New cabin filter Lada Largus

The need to replace the air filter on Largus

It has long been undeniable that the air filter in the air duct plays a significant role, because along with its fuel “colleague” it ensures the purity of the mixture sent to the combustion chambers. The power characteristics of the LADA Largus engine directly depend on this factor. Operating a car involves no alternative and gradual clogging of the component we are considering. You should not wait until the filtering function completely stops, because the operation of the motor will be impossible, and the harm to it cannot be overestimated.

A Lada Largus with a dirty air filter will be prone to increased fuel consumption and an unjustified reduction in power. The manufacturer deliberately placed the air filter in the most convenient location. So that the owner is not lazy to look into it and assess the degree of clogging. If the fact of contamination is obvious, then resort to replacement as soon as possible. This work will be feasible even for an owner who has just embarked on the path of a car enthusiast.

Replacement procedure on a 16-valve engine

We carry out the work according to the following algorithm:

Remove the rubber clamp from the plastic protrusion that holds the air path resonator.

• We disconnect the air duct from the air filter and move it to the side so that it does not interfere.
• We dismantle the intake muffler.

Turn off the VUT tube. It is marked with paint in the photo.

Next, using a “25” hexagon, unscrew the two mounting screws.

We dismantle the filter. Remove the dirty filter element. We clean the inside of the box from debris, wipe it with a clean cloth to remove dust and insert a new filter.

We perform further steps in reverse order: fix the housing with screws, install the muffler, attach the pipes and connect the VUT pipe.

Replacing the air filter on Lada Largus 16 valves.

On a K4M engine with 16 valves, instead of the filter element of the standard air filter, you can install a zero filter. Such filters can be reusable.

reusable filters need to be regularly cleaned and washed and impregnated with a special composition. True, the cost of impregnation is quite high.

There is another alternative option - install a filter chandelier. There are two possible installation methods:

1. Completely dismantle the intake muffler (2) and connect a chandelier in its place.
2. Do not touch the muffler, install the chandelier filter instead of the air duct (1).

The figure schematically shows the details of the assembly.

How to get out of a filter situation

Before replacing the consumables, the owners of the majority of Russian-French station wagons will first have to install a cabin filter on the LADA Largus.

In fact, motorists had to independently solve the problem of the lack of a cabin filter in the presence of a blank housing for it. In general, no one bothers you to leave everything as is, not use a filter and drive, receiving unpurified air into the cabin. But this is harmful and dangerous, so it would be correct to install a full-fledged filter element.

To supply a spare part, you can contact a car service, or do everything yourself. In the first case, you will have to pay at least 2 thousand rubles. Although in fact the work is completed in 1-2 hours, if you act extremely carefully, consistently and with rest breaks. Some can easily do it in less than 1 hour.

The idea is to get rid of the plastic plug by cutting it out of its seat. This opens the cabin filter housing, and it can be fully used to accommodate consumables. We must not forget that in most Largus configurations a cabin filter is not provided, but the consumables themselves are produced from the official manufacturer. A truly strange company policy, which is difficult to somehow explain or justify.

How to extend the life of the filter in Largus

Since the Lada Largus is still an economy class car, the manufacturer did not take care of many important things. Cost optimization has not bypassed air intake. On many cars, a mesh is installed at the inlet, which protects the filter from large debris.

As you might guess, there is none in Largus. And if not, then you need to install it, especially since it is inexpensive and is sold in hundreds on Avito and others. Magnets are installed in the mesh frame. According to reviews, it does not fly off on any potholes.

Installation is extremely simple. All you need to do is find the place through which the air enters the cabin and just apply it evenly. In Lada Largus, the air intake hole is located near the wire going to the washer.

Replacing the cabin filter of Lada Largus 8 and 16 valves with your own hands, video instructions

Largus model cars are not equipped with a cabin filter at all; in this case, you can purchase and install it yourself. However, if such an element is present, its timely replacement will be required, because otherwise there is a risk of causing serious damage to the power plant of the Lada Largus.

Replacement is mandatory after a mileage of 20 thousand km - this is indicated in the instructions for the car, but you should be careful, take into account the pollution of megacities and not wait for the specified period. In addition, you may need it sooner if you often drive on dusty roads. Installation and subsequent replacement of filters can be done on your own, saving a considerable amount of money.

It has a fairly simple design and a very convenient location. Every motorist can cope with its replacement, because it does not require special knowledge and skills.

How to choose the right one

In addition to companies that service Russian cars, you can purchase a cabin filter for the Lada Largus Cross at a Renault brand store or service center.

There are cabin filters with and without air conditioning. In addition, there are several options with different prices:

1. The cheapest option is a piece of sponge cloth, which quickly becomes clogged while driving and does not withstand cleaning - it breaks easily.
2. Due to the fact that the second option is a multilayer filter, the layers of which are made of a polymer material that are connected to each other with strong glue, it will be more reliable and efficient.
3. However, the most effective will be the cabin filter, which is created using activated carbon. This option will ensure the absorption of a huge amount of pollutants and require a minimum of maintenance. Activated carbon has the ability to absorb toxins found in exhaust gases. And with it you will achieve maximum air purity.

Once you have made your choice, you should prepare to install or replace it. If you decide to save money and do it yourself, then you need to take into account the features of replacing the filter on a car with an 8- and 16-valve engine.

Replacing the cabin filter of Lada Largus

A suitable place to work would be a level, sufficiently lit and ventilated area. For convenience, it is better to prepare a separate bag in advance, in which you can then put the dirty filter.

This process is easier when working with an eight-valve engine. All you need to do is:

• unscrew the bolts;
• remove the cover;
• remove the dirty filter;
• install a new one in place of the old one;
• close the lid;
• tighten the bolts securely.

And when replacing the air filter on an engine with sixteen valves, you must adhere to the following steps:

1. The first step is to find the location of the filter. In such models it is located immediately behind the engine in the center.
2. Remove the 2 bolts that hold the housing in place.
3. After this, you need to remove the air channels - they are removed along with the clamp.
4. Next you need to remove the protection.
5. The body must be moved slightly to the side.
6. We take out the old filter.
7. In its place we install a new filter element.
8. The housing must be returned to its place.
9. We are returning the air channels, as well as the plastic protection.
10. Next you need to tighten the bolts.
11. It is necessary to tighten the air duct clamps.
12. Be sure to check the mount and start the car.

The work is really simple and quite fast. It will take no more than fifteen minutes for any person. There is no point in turning to a service station for help, because by solving this problem yourself, you will save both your time and your money. It must be remembered that for the Lada Largus car to function, you must monitor the condition of the filter and replace it on time.

Accessibility for everyone

If we compare replacing the cabin filter with air conditioning with other repair operations, then the fact is immediately obvious that this work will not require the owner to have certain skills or spend time. Moreover, now you know where it is located, as well as how to change it correctly. To perform the procedure, you will need a minimum of skills and knowledge in the field of the features of the car interior ventilation system. Here, accuracy comes to the fore, since removing the non-removable plug will require special care. If an unfortunate mistake occurs at this stage, the consequences can only get worse. This circumstance makes some owners inclined to seek help from the service, which is quite justified, because the correct installation of the filter directly affects the correct operation of the entire ventilation and heating system of the interior space of the Lada Largus model.

Replacing the cabin filter on Lada Largus

Alas, despite the rather increased activity in terms of the production of new models and technological innovations, some small flaws still sometimes come across. Among them is the lack of a standard cabin filter in the Lada Largus car. Moreover, the Renault Logan MCV, on the basis of which the Largus was created, has such an element in the cabin.

Of course, the easiest way would be to contact an official dealer if you have extra funds: installing or replacing the filter will cost you from 2,300 rubles. (at unofficial service stations - from 1000 rubles), not counting the cost of the filter material itself (which from an official dealer will also cost you a pretty penny).

We suggest saving you money and installing the filter yourself. This does not take long and does not present any difficulty, and the result will be no worse than after servicing at an official service center.

The first thing you need to do is select the filter itself. There are many different options (sponge, polymer, etc.). However, professionals agree that the best solution would be to purchase an element that contains activated carbon (cost from 1100 to 1600 rubles). Such a part is capable of retaining even the smallest specks of dust, toxins, particles of exhaust gases and industrial waste - what we need, especially if you are a resident of a metropolis. There is no need to maintain this filter.

So, let's say you've already purchased a filter. The only tools you need are a utility knife.

The first thing you need to do is find the place to install the filter (the repair and maintenance instructions for your machine will help you with this). If you don't want to bother with the instructions, let's tell you that it is located below the front panel on the passenger side. There you will find a plastic rectangular plug that is embedded in the panel.

Using a knife, we carefully run it along the edges of the plug to cut it out.

This is what the hole looks like with the plug cut out.

Since the unfolded filter is larger than the cut hole, it will need to be bent slightly to fit into it. Wrinkle the filter slightly and carefully begin inserting it into the rectangular hole.

Thanks for subscribing!

Continue pushing the filter until it is completely in place.

As you can see, the procedure is more than simple and can be performed by any car enthusiast without much difficulty.

Replacement procedure

In order to save time and money, motorists prefer to replace the air filter with a new one themselves. There is nothing complicated in such work. You just need to purchase the right part that is suitable in size, and also prepare the tools: a clean rag and a flat-head screwdriver.

How to choose a filter? Initially, you should read the technical documentation for the vehicle. Manufacturers indicate in the manual the code of the original model, as well as its dimensions. If such a part is not on sale, high-quality analogues will do. The most famous brands are BOSH, Fram and BigFilter.

Modern air filters differ not only in shape, but also in material and cleaning method:

• paper designs are the most popular due to their low cost. The filter element here is corrugated cardboard, which retains dirt even 1 micron in size. The paper is impregnated with an oily solution and does not deform when in contact with water. However, such VFs are disposable. It is not recommended to use the filter after 30 thousand km;
• VF zero resistance. In appearance, the filter resembles a paper one, but fabric or foam rubber is used as a filter element. Due to the high cost, zero VFs are most often used in sports cars. If the part becomes dirty, it can be washed with a cleaning agent and reused.

Which of the proposed options to choose remains at the discretion of the driver. However, the future VF must be suitable in size, since a loosely fitting part can allow dust to enter the engine.

The procedure for replacing the air filter in a Lada Largus car on 8-valve and 16-valve engines has some differences, so we will consider each process separately.

Replacement process on an 8-valve engine

In order to replace the VF in a Lada Largus on an 8-valve engine, you need to drive the car onto a flat surface and then turn off the engine.

Procedure:

1. Open the hood and secure it;
2. The air filter is located in a protective housing near the engine. In order to dismantle the part, it is necessary to disconnect the air pipe;
3. After this, the latches on both sides are unfastened and the old filter is removed;
4. The protective box is wiped with a clean rag and a new filter is installed according to the instructions.

This completes the procedure for replacing the VF.

Replacement procedure on a 16-valve engine

To replace the air filter in a Lada Lagrus car with a 16-valve engine, you will need a Phillips screwdriver.

The replacement process is as follows:

1. Open the hood and lock it in a safe position;
2. Find the location of the air filter (black box behind the engine). Disconnect the pipe;
3. Remove the cover of the protective box. To do this you will need to unscrew two screws;
4. Press on the halves of the box and carefully remove the old VF;
5. Wipe the surface and insert a new filter into the cassette;
6. Install the mechanisms in place and check their tightness.

As noted earlier, replacing the air filter is a simple and standard procedure that does not take much time. At the same time, timely replacement of the part will significantly extend the life of the Lada Largus engine.

Why is interior air purification required?

Don't seals prevent dust from getting in? No, they don't interfere. Otherwise, we would have to make the interior airtight. In addition, air enters the Largus cabin through the ventilation system. It is cleansed, but not enough. First you need to figure out what payload the filter in the cabin of the Lada Largus will carry. Its tasks are the following:

1. Protecting the driver and passengers from harmful particles. While driving, outside air flows freely into the cabin. The outside of the car is not always clean and it depends on where you drive. It may contain dangerous microorganisms, pollen and even particles of chemicals from engine operation. After all, a heating system is connected to the cabin, which is located in the rear part of the engine compartment. And there is the power plant. All this can have a negative impact on health, especially for allergy sufferers. It is unacceptable for the driver to have a negative impact while driving, as it can lead to an accident. For example, he may start sneezing from pollen.
2. Preventing contamination of the climate control system. Over time, dust settles in the hoses of the climate control system. It impairs air passage and heat transfer. The latter is fraught with deterioration in the performance of the air conditioner.
3. Interior protection. Dirt accumulating in the cabin will actively settle on the walls and ceiling. They will serve as a source of infections. This is unacceptable, especially when transporting children. Dirt deposits will also settle on the panel, glass and seats.

Based on this, it is simply necessary to install an air purification device in Lada Largus. There is a lot of dust in the cities, and there are a lot of dirt roads outside the city. All this gets into the cabin and is inhaled by the driver and passengers of the Lada Largus. Air purification is a guarantee of safety and good health.

Attention! Lada Largus was created on the basis of Renault Logan. This car is equipped with a cabin filter, so the installation space remains

It will not be difficult for any owner of a Lada Largus to purchase and install a cabin filter themselves.

Selection and preparation

First of all, you need to take care of purchasing a cabin filter for the Lada Largus - it is worth remembering that you can find it in Renault branded stores and service centers, and not only from enterprises servicing Russian cars. The simplest part costs about 500–700 rubles, but the effectiveness of its operation is very doubtful. A cheap cabin filter is a piece of spongy fabric that gets clogged quite quickly with frequent driving and easily breaks after several cleanings. The second option is a multilayer filter, which is estimated at approximately 900–1000 rubles. It consists of several layers of polymer materials connected with high-strength glue - due to this, both the reliability of the part and the efficiency of its operation are increased.

However, experts recommend installing a cabin filter created using activated carbon. The cost of such a part is approximately 1200–1500 rubles, depending on the manufacturer. Quite large expenses will be fully justified, since the filter absorbs a huge amount of pollutants and practically does not require maintenance. In addition, the advantage of an activated carbon cabin filter is its ability to absorb toxins contained in exhaust gases and industrial emissions. Thanks to this, it is possible to maintain exceptional cleanliness of air in the cabin, which is especially important for large cities and industrial regions.

Of course, you can install a cabin filter using the services of professionals, but you should be prepared for high expenses. Branded service stations will charge approximately 2,500 rubles for such work, and they will force you to purchase the part at a clearly inflated price. Unauthorized service stations also offer this service, but its cost ranges from 1000–1500 rubles, which is comparable to the cost of purchasing a cabin filter. Therefore, you should try to install the cabin filter on the Lada Largus yourself. There are no particular difficulties in this work, although you should follow some recommendations in order to complete the job efficiently.

You will also need a number of tools to complete the tasks. When installing a cabin filter, the most popular device is a knife, with which most of the procedures are carried out. In addition, it is worth stocking up on a spanner with sockets, a flashlight with a forehead mount and a short ruler. A slotted screwdriver would also be useful. Having collected all the necessary materials and prepared mentally, you can begin the work itself.

How to replace the cabin filter: instructions

Lada Largus interior and trunk dimensions

First you need to determine where this element is located in the cabin. On the dashboard you need to identify the back side - that’s where the filter is installed. Replacing it is not at all difficult, but it will take a lot of time. Some drivers can’t even cope, give up and turn to professionals.

It is necessary to prepare a new filter element, unpack it, inspect it, understand its design, especially if you are doing this for the first time. You must have a knife on hand. Stationery will do. Then proceed like this:

1. Place the machine on a level surface so that there are no distortions. Provide clear access to the passenger door from the front.
2. Sometimes Lada owners dismantle the seat to make it easier to approach the desired area. But it will be easier to push it all the way back. The seat in this position will no longer hurt. But if you still have doubts, then unscrew the mounting bolts (there are 4 of them), remove the seat and take it out of the cabin.
3. In the center of the dashboard (on its back side) there is a rectangular plastic housing. An insert is soldered into the end area. It looks like a lid. It is necessary to carefully cut the hole, focusing on the outer contour of the insert. The hole should be rectangular.
4. Insert the filter into the resulting niche. That's it, now mount the seat back and enjoy the fresh air in the cabin.

These instructions are suitable for the first installation of the cleaning system. If your Lada Largus already has a filter that needs to be replaced, you must first carefully remove it from its niche. It can no longer be used, so throw away the dirty element without regret.

What is special about the models?

The production of the Largus and Largus Cross models officially started in April 2012. Both cars are available in versions with 5 and 7 seats. Plus, don’t forget about the F90 cargo modification, which is distinguished by solid rear and side panels.

The main problem with cars lies in the policy of the manufacturer, who tried to save on literally everything, to minimize their expenses, thereby reducing the final cost of the vehicle. So the manufacturer wanted to make a reliable, but simple and affordable machine.

This global economy policy has led to the fact that in the basic configurations of various Lagrus modifications there was room for a box for the cabin filter, but for some reason there was no room inside for the filter itself. That is, the automaker did not consider it necessary to install a filter element in its car. It is difficult to explain this decision, given the fact that there is a housing for the filter, but at the same time there is no cabin filter itself.

If owners of simple versions want to change the consumables and install a new cabin filter on the LADA Largus, or on the Cross version, they will be disappointed. Having made their way to the location of the body of this consumable, they will find a blank frame or plug there. There is no way to open it, despite the similarity of the plug with a regular snap-on lid.

Yes, several years later, in the case of Largus Cross, the automaker introduced a number of updates, although they cannot be called global. And among them there was finally a standard cabin air purification filter, which began to be installed even in regular versions.

All these features and savings policies are not relevant to the owners of the most expensive luxury trim levels. There is already initially provided not just a housing for the filter, but also the consumable itself, installed from the factory. Therefore, some Largus and Largus Cross car owners are luckier.

Replacing the cabin filter in Lada Largus

How to choose a good filter

In order for the part to serve for a long time, and also not to have to be replaced after a month, you need to choose wisely. Owners of Lada Largus should know its original filter element. Its number is 7701059997. The price is at least 500 rubles. You can choose an analogue if you don’t have time to look for the original. Among such proposals are the following:

• Sakura – 350 rubles;
• Starline – 350 rubles;
• Bosch – 500 rubles;
• GoodWill – 350 rubles.

The prices here are relative, since each store offers its own

But it is important to understand that it is better to buy auto parts from certified dealers, official representatives or trusted auto stores. You should not use services on classifieds sites, markets, private individuals

You can buy a used filter and not even notice it. Try not to look at low prices. A good, high-quality device for less than 300 rubles is not valued.

Many owners prefer to change filters in familiar workshops. They also buy parts there. If you trust the chosen company, then go ahead. This approach saves energy and time.
