Maintenance of Lada Vesta
When buying a car, you should focus not only on its cost, but also on the costs during operation. This also applies to periodic maintenance - a mandatory procedure for vehicles. When the first maintenance of a Lada Vesta is carried out, what repair operations it includes, and how much it will cost - read on about all aspects of this procedure.
Maintenance (abbr. MRO - maintenance and repair) is a set of measures to maintain the functionality and serviceability of the vehicle for safe operation.
Maintenance regulations for Lada Vesta
LADA Vesta began production at the AvtoVAZ plant in November 2015. Equipped with motors: 11189, 21129 and HR16DE-H4M. The latter is an imported engine produced by the Renault-Nissan alliance. The most common engine is 1.6 liter. 21129 is the well-known VAZ engine 21127 with some modernization. It is this that is taken as the basis for this routine maintenance.
The frequency of replacement of Lada Vesta consumables is 15,000 km . In severe operating conditions, it is useful to reduce the interval to 10,000 km and even more - to 7,500. There will definitely be no harm from this, except for your wallet.
First of all, reducing the replacement interval concerns the oil and oil filter. The air and cabin filters should be checked and at least blown out, and if they are heavily soiled, they must be replaced.
Severe operating conditions include:
- driving in a large city with frequent trips over short distances;
- long-term movement at low speed;
- moving through dusty areas;
- transporting a trailer or driving a heavily loaded vehicle.
Below we will describe a map of the routine maintenance of the Lada Vesta, as well as the catalog numbers of the necessary consumables and their average prices (indicated for Moscow and the region) that will be needed for work. The maintenance diagram looks like this:
What is “zero” maintenance
“Zero” maintenance is more correctly called intermediate. This procedure is optional and consists of checking the power plant systems for compliance with technical requirements. It is carried out on a new car after a mileage of 1.5 thousand to 5 thousand km. The inspection is carried out at an authorized service center if the car is under warranty. Some dealers provide intermediate maintenance free of charge. In all other cases, the cost of such maintenance is 4-5 thousand rubles.
“Zero” maintenance is not mandatory, so refusal by the car owner does not void the warranty. All work is related exclusively to the engine: checking the oil level and the condition of the oil filter.
If the driver decides to carry out the procedure himself, this cannot be the reason for denial of warranty service. In addition to the engine, other components and systems can be checked visually and at the owner’s request for faults.
Why undergo zero maintenance?
If the cost of maintenance is not a problem for the motorist, then this procedure should not be avoided - this way the car will last longer. On a new car, during the first 5-10 thousand kilometers, engine parts wear out more due to lapping. A large number of small metal particles accumulate in the oil filter. These shavings do not have a positive effect, so you need to get rid of them as soon as possible. A mileage of 5 thousand km is optimal for all engine parts to get used to it.
During “zero” maintenance, wheel alignment can be checked. The correct angle will determine the uniformity of tire wear and controllability. If there was a defect in the production of the car, it will be detected at the initial stage. Otherwise, it can lead to major problems and malfunctions, many of which are not included in the warranty list.
Checking the levels of all fluids will help you quickly identify possible leakage defects, such as torn gaskets. Diagnostics of the operation of the ECU and all sensors allows you to verify the proper functioning of all systems. Not every car enthusiast can carry out intermediate maintenance on their own. If you don’t go to a car service center, you can change the oil and oil filter - this is a must.
Do-it-yourself “zero” maintenance
The procedure is necessary for normal engine operation in the future, but not everyone wants to pay for it. Therefore, attempts are being made to carry out diagnostic measures on their own. It is not recommended to do this in a garage, as this risks voiding the warranty. At a specialized service station there are not only auto mechanics, but also highly specialized specialists who are able to recognize specific faults.
You can check the oil level yourself, but when replacing the lubricant and filter, you should take into account the possible risks. A filter of the wrong model or improper installation will cause malfunctions. Interference with the engine operating systems may be noticed, and this will lead to a violation of the warranty agreement.
Refueling volumes
As mentioned above, three different engines were installed on the Lada Vesta - 11189, 21129 and HR16DE-H4M. It was also equipped with different gearboxes - 2180, 2182 and JHQ. Based on this, some Vesta filling containers have different volumes, while others are the same for everyone.
The following table will help you figure out how much of a particular technical fluid needs to be filled:
Engine lubrication system (including oil filter): 11189/21129 (stamped oil sump) 11189/21129 (cast oil sump) HR16DE-H4M | 3,2 (2,9) 4,4 (4,1) 4 |
Cooling and heating system* : 11189/21129 HR16DE-H4M | 5,95 7,0 |
Gearbox : Gearbox 2180/2182 JHQ | 2,25 3,34 |
Hydraulic clutch and brake system | 0,559 |
Hydraulic brake system (for cars with AMT) | 0,517 |
Washer reservoir | 4,7 |
Expansion tank (for cars with 21129 | 5.75 (max) 5.35 (min) |
Air conditioning system (freon R134 “A”) | 0,475 (± 20) |
*A mixture of coolants of different brands should not be allowed.
In the same repair and maintenance manual for Lada West there are also the following volumes of coolant for the engine cooling system:
- for 11189/21129 with pre-heater - 9.3 l., without heating - 8.7 l.;
- for HR16DE-H4M with pre-heater – 7.6 l., without heating – 7.0 l.

Reviews
Owners of Lada Vesta often mention on various forums about maintenance, its shortcomings, and frequent breakdowns.
Ivan Semyonov writes: “It is better to personally observe what exactly the masters do. At the first service, someone only changes the oil and filter, while at another dealership they additionally carry out all the necessary diagnostics and inspect the car on a lift. Vesta has not yet proven its reliability in comparison with the same Hyundai Solaris and Kia Rio. Let’s see what kind of maintenance will be needed after a mileage of 150 thousand km.”
Evgeniy left a similar review: “A lot depends on the dealer, in some places they will change the oil and say “goodbye,” and in others they will lubricate everything, check the suspension, brake system, and even wipe it where necessary. However, the difference in cost may be minimal. But prices are relevant only during the warranty period; after its expiration, maintenance can increase significantly.”
