Now unscrew the clamp screw that secures the pipe fitting to the body.

Next, we remove the adsorber from the body; to do this, pull it up and remove it from its seat; there are no other fasteners there.

We unscrew the nut that secures the air intake, it is located at the top near the radiator. Next, carefully remove them from the cushions and disconnect the expansion tank hose from below; I think it won’t cause any problems. Well, that seems to be all, put it back together in reverse order, don’t forget to connect the mass air flow sensor.

Replacing the air filter housing on Kalina

Welcome! Despite the fact that the car can drive without an air filter, it is one of the important engine systems. In its absence, all the debris and dust from the environment will fall into the engine and spoil it. The filter performs the function of air purification, extending the service life of the engine. Removing the housing with the filter will increase the car's power by about 3-5%, but this is practically not noticeable and is not worth it.

Note! To replace the air filter housing, you will need the following tools: screwdriver, wrench, pliers (a knife or thin flat-head screwdriver will do instead).

Location of the building

We open the hood, look for the engine, and a long hose comes from it, thanks to which the engine receives air. Let's look at this process in more detail.

Air enters the engine from the environment; it is necessary for the combustion of gasoline, and therefore for the operation of the car as a whole. The air enters the air intake located at the very bottom of the air filter (indicated in red). When driving through deep puddles, you need to be careful: water entering the filter pipe leads to water hammer - when it hits the hot engine cylinders, it cools the engine sharply, leading to cracks and damage to parts. Large amounts of water cause deformation of the pistons. The consequence of water hammer, as a rule, is a major engine repair (a very expensive service, so be careful when driving and take care of your car).

The role of the filter in a car

The Lada Kalina engine requires about 12-14 cubic meters of air for every 100 km of travel. In the intake manifold, it is mixed with fuel sprayed by the injector nozzles. The mixture then enters the cylinder chambers, where it is burned. The optimal proportion of air to fuel ensures that the engine achieves the characteristics declared by the manufacturer. It is no secret that a large volume of dust, suspended dirt and other compounds enters the intake receiver along with the air. The role of the filter is to ensure high-quality cleaning of the intake air, because it is a kind of barrier in the path of these negative particles.

If there was no air filter, then all the suspended dirt would inevitably fall inside the engine cylinders, gradually settling on its walls and accumulating in the oil system. This would lead to scoring on the walls of the liners and liners, which would require a major overhaul.

Gradual clogging of the filter element leads to a deterioration in its throughput and, as a consequence, to air starvation of the LADA Kalina engine. This is fraught with the formation of carbon deposits on the parts of the valve assembly and elements of the cylinder-piston group, because such combustion will be characterized by the presence of a fuel-enriched mixture above the permissible limit. This inevitably leads to increased fuel consumption and a decrease in the power level of the unit. Also, exhaust gases are endowed with increased toxicity.

Note! This procedure will require interaction with electronics, we recommend that you remove the negative terminal from the battery! (For more details, see the article: “Replacing the battery in a car”, point 1)

Removal

1. First, disconnect the Mass Air Flow Sensor (indicated by the blue arrow) from the housing (indicated by the red arrow) by pressing the mounting latch from below and pulling it out.
2. Using a screwdriver, slightly loosen the fastening screw of the air supply pipe on the filter housing, then disconnect the pipe and move it aside so that it does not interfere with removal.
3. Carefully inspect the new filter, is there a mass air flow sensor housing on it? If not, then use a wrench to unscrew the two mounting bolts (photo 1), remove it and the gasket behind it from the filter housing (photo 2).
4. Then look under the TV - the front of the car, where the headlights, radiator grille, etc. are located. Find the nut that secures the filter housing to the radiator frame and unscrew it completely with a wrench (photo 1). Now remove the two top housing bolts (Photo 2). Find the bracket on the battery holding bar; it includes a rubber filter support (photo 3, red arrow), and remove it. The case no longer holds anything - remove it (photo 4).

Installation

Proceed in the reverse order of removal. Important point! Most cases are sold empty in auto stores, which means you need to remove all the parts from the old one and replace them with the new one:

• pull the pipe against the force of the clamps;
• disconnect it from the body as shown in the first picture;
• Using pliers, remove the rubber supports along with the brackets (photo 2): grab the ends, pull them out and install them on the new body.

Note! Lubricating the rubber bearings with engine oil will make the installation process easier!

When is it necessary to replace the Lada Kalina air filter?

The manufacturer's instructions for Kalina indicate that the filter we are interested in needs to be changed after the car has “run” 30 thousand kilometers. A driver who cares about the technical condition of his car pays little attention to this advice, preferring to change the filter much more often.

Experts recommend performing this procedure every time the oil is changed or the vehicle undergoes a technical inspection.

According to reviews from Kalina owners, the installation of a new air filter is required for their “iron horse” after 13–15 kilometers. However, if you drive your car exclusively on well-maintained city roads, the replacement can be carried out exactly within the time frame (30 thousand kilometers) set by AvtoVAZ. In other cases, the new element should be installed much earlier.

Considering that the operation of dismantling the old filter and installing a new one is easily carried out in a private garage, I think it is better to take care of your car and your safety while driving by replacing the failed element as necessary. The vehicle will respond to such care to the driver with long-term and trouble-free operation.

In what cases is replacement necessary?

For a car, especially with an injector, it is very important what condition the air filter is in. For high-quality operation of an internal combustion engine, a large volume of air is required, much larger than fuel, which is taken from the environment. The purpose of the filter element is to clean this air from these contaminants, because the quality of the air-fuel mixture depends on its purity.

The filter is a filter paper folded into an accordion to increase the filtering surface. During operation, the pores of the filter become clogged, which reduces its throughput and deteriorates the quality of the air that comes from the environment. The air filter also acts as a device that reduces noise during air intake, as well as a thermostat. This is especially true in winter; the incoming air, passing through the filter element, heats up, so the temperature difference will not be so noticeable.

The following factors influence the frequency of replacement:

• quality of road surface;
• quality of the filter element;
• terms of Use.

According to manufacturers' recommendations, the filter material should be changed at least after 30 thousand kilometers or after a visual inspection if it is heavily contaminated.

If the car is operated on unpaved roads or in a metropolis with polluted air, the air filter must be changed after 15 thousand kilometers.

Some advice from professionals

The following symptoms indicate that your car's air filter is dirty and requires immediate replacement:

• reduction of vehicle dynamics;
• difficult starting;
• a noticeable increase in fuel consumption.

If you begin to notice these phenomena, check the filter and change it. All the described symptoms will disappear without a trace. And further. When you install the new filter, very carefully insert the rubber seal, which is located on the housing itself. Then tighten the bolts and enjoy the high-quality operation of the car’s engine over the next 10–12 thousand kilometers.

What to do if the previous owner did not say when the replacement was made

It is enough to remove the element from the case and assess its condition visually. If the color of the paper becomes dark, then such a filter, of course, needs to be replaced. You should definitely pull apart the paper and inspect its condition inside. Noticeable particles of dirt indicate that such a filter needs to be changed urgently.

After purchasing a car on the secondary market, it is recommended to immediately replace all fluids and consumables, and along with them the filter. In any case, its price is low and replacing it will never be a bad idea.

Do regular maintenance - help the engine!

Of course, this applies primarily to stable oil changes after a certain period of time and replacement of all kinds of filters according to the mileage of the car. And today we will talk about such a device, without which the work of the entire engine would be difficult. Of course, we will talk about the air filter.

What is an air filter for?

This filter is no longer helpful to you.

The engine air filter serves for timely air purification, as well as the formation of a fuel mixture in the engine. According to statistics, for every 100 kilometers driven, a car is capable of consuming from 11 to 16 cubic meters of atmospheric air, which undoubtedly contains particles of dust and dirt. And if there was no air filter in the car, then premature repair of the engine would be guaranteed.

Types of cabin filters

Evolution does not stand still, and neither does technology. In general, this is an old invention, but it has been used in cars for no more than 10 years.

Carbon cabin filter

Immediately after their appearance, such filters were installed only on expensive cars, mainly in the premium class. They have both advantages and disadvantages.

Pros of carbon filters

• Filters out unpleasant odors. Such a filter is capable of capturing not only dust particles, but also the smell of dampness, fuel and exhaust gases. They are especially useful in cities where gas pollution exceeds all standards;
• Some carbon cabin filters use silver ions. This will help further freshen the air in the cabin.

Disadvantages of carbon filters

• Relatively high price. Compared to a conventional paper cabin filter, it can be two to three times higher;
• Short service life. The carbon filter, as a rule, becomes clogged after just six months of operation, while for most cars the maintenance regulations require replacement after 10–15 thousand kilometers. Once the filter becomes clogged, it not only fails to cope with its direct responsibilities, but also begins to release all the odors that it previously absorbed.

Paper cabin filter

Paper cabin filters have some positive aspects, as well as negative ones.

Pros of paper cabin filters

• Small price. This filter is much cheaper than a carbon filter;
• Life time. It is a little larger, and even after it ends it does not begin to emit unpleasant odors.

Disadvantages of paper cabin filters:

Sometimes they don’t make it to the replacement date. They simply fall apart if moisture gets into them. Also, they can become completely clogged.

Perhaps these are all shortcomings.

How often to change the filter

Kalina's official instructions provide for the following standards for operating the air filter:

• for urban areas - once every 30,000 kilometers;
• for regular suburban and rural trips - once every 15,000 kilometers.

This is the best option for servicing the first and second Kalina, allowing the car to operate properly for longer. The less debris and dust gets into the mixture formation system, the more stable the engine will operate.

The process of removing and replacing the viburnum air filter takes no more than 15 minutes. As a result of such basic manipulations, the engine will work much more clearly and efficiently.
