Procedure for replacing the Kalina air filter
So, first we open the hood of the Kalina and the first thing you need to do is disconnect the plug from the mass air flow sensor so that it does not interfere in the future. It is secured with a clamp that needs to be pressed up from below and pulled forcefully to the side.
It should come out without any problems. We take these wires to the side. They won’t get in our way anymore, but it’s better to hook them onto something, fix them somehow.
Now you can move on to the next step. Unscrew all 4 bolts that secure the air filter cover. It is best to use a thick Phillips screwdriver, but from personal experience I was convinced that the bolts are not tightened very tightly and a regular screwdriver is quite suitable, even a flat one.
After everything is unscrewed, it is enough to pull the lid with a little force to open it. We can say that everything is ready. We remove the old air filter by hand, simply pulling it, wipe everything thoroughly so that there is no dust left inside and replace it with a new one.
Don’t forget to place the element with its ribs forward, in the direction of movement, and firmly insert the sealing rubber on the filter body itself. We put the cover in place, tighten all the screws, and insert the same wire from the air sensor into its place. That's all. Do not forget that replacement must be done at least 30 thousand km in urban areas, and preferably no more than after 15 thousand km when operating in rural areas. Then dust and various debris will not get into the injector and the injection system of the Lada Kalina will work for a long time and without failure.
Replacing the air filter on Lada Kalina and Lada Kalina 2
Before you start replacing the air filter of a Lada Kalina car, you need to purchase a certain list of tools.
The list provided includes the following:
- Gloves;
- Waste fabric;
- New air filter that is suitable for Lada Kalina cars.
Particular attention must be paid to the purchase of a new air purifier. This is explained by the fact that when purchasing the wrong auto part from the owner of a Lada Kalina vehicle, not only additional financial investments will be required, but it can also have a negative impact on the further functioning of the car’s engine. This is due to the fact that each brand of car has a specific air purifier, which has its own seat. Based on the information presented, when purchasing an air filter, it is recommended to carefully read the instructions for the auto part and also measure its dimensions.
With the exception of original air purifiers, in modern markets there are also a large number of analogues from other manufacturers. The cost of the parts shown varies greatly. However, it should be noted that the designated analogues often only partially correspond to the original auto parts. Based on the information provided, before purchasing an air filter for a Lada Kalina car, the vehicle owner is recommended to measure the purchase and also compare its other characteristics with the information indicated in the vehicle’s operating instructions.
It should also be noted that the modern market can offer the car owner various types of air purifiers.
Types of air filters for vehicles:
- Paper. When making a paper filter, manufacturers use a special type of paper, which is folded into the frame of the auto part in a zigzag shape. The presented arrangement of the paper improves the supply of the required amount of air, and also qualitatively protects the engine of a Lada Kalina car;
- Carbonic. When producing the presented type of air purifier, the manufacturer uses special paper with special impregnation. This paper in a special way protects the engine of a Lada Kalina car from pollution, namely water, dust, hot vapors and other contaminants;
- Air filter based on cotton material. The designated parts are impregnated with a special oil, with the help of which the air purifier is able to effectively filter the air and also protect the engine of the Lada Kalina from various contaminants.
Step-by-step instruction
The process of replacing the air filter on a Lada Kalina car is as follows:
The air filter is located inside the housing, which is marked with an arrow.
- First you need to disconnect the terminal from the MAF sensor (Mass Air Flow Sensor). To carry out the presented procedure, you need to unclip the latch and pull it to the sides. This is done so that it does not interfere in the future;
It is necessary to disconnect the block carefully so as not to break the clamps
- The next step will require unscrewing all four screws from the air filter housing of the Lada Kalina vehicle. The order in which this procedure is carried out does not matter;
Bolts for securing the air filter cover of a Lada Kalina car
- It should also be noted that it is not uncommon for the air cleaner housing to become “stuck.” In this case, you will need to apply a certain force to remove it from its place;
- Next you need to remove the old filter. In the presented case, there is one important nuance. Before performing this action, you need to pay attention to the location of the arrow on the body. This is done due to the fact that the direction of the corrugation must be completely identical to the direction of the arrow;
Old filter element
- The next step is to remove all the dust that has accumulated in the niche of the case. In addition, you need to wipe off all visible dust that has accumulated within the old air filter;
Air filter housing, which must be cleaned of dust
- Next, a new air cleaner is installed. It is installed in accordance with all installation rules. In the presented case, it is also necessary to monitor the direction of the arrow and corrugation;
Installing a new filter element
- After the air filter has been installed, you need to adjust the rubber on the housing. Particular attention must be paid to the absence of “gaps”;
- Next, you need to close the air cleaner housing and screw into place all four bolts that secure the cover of the auto part;
- At the final stage, you should replace the terminal from the MAF sensor (Mass Air Flow Sensor). You should check if the terminal is in place only after a click is heard.
Replacing the air filter on engines with 8 and 16 valves
The procedure for replacing the air filter on eight-valve engines of a Lada Kalina car is no different from the process of replacing the air cleaner on a sixteen-valve engine of a vehicle of the same brand. The difference lies in which air filter model will be selected for each type of engine.
Signs that indicate that the vehicle air cleaner is dirty and requires immediate replacement:
- Starting the car engine is difficult;
- The car's dynamics have decreased;
- Fuel consumption has increased significantly.
If one or more of the symptoms listed above is detected, the car owner is recommended to check the air filter and, if necessary, change it. After the replacement is completed, the signs presented above will disappear without a trace. It should also be noted that when installing a new air purifier, you must carefully insert the rubber seal, which is located on the body itself. After the new air filter is correctly installed, it will be possible to use a Lada Kalina car without problems for 10-12 thousand kilometers.
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.
In order not to contribute to the development of these factors, timely replacement of the air filter is imperative. ) recommends leaning towards such a procedure every 30 thousand km of the distance traveled, when the car is expected to be used primarily in urban conditions. If LADA Kalina spends most of its mileage in dusty conditions on country roads, then this interval should be reduced to 15 thousand km. These limits may change slightly, because the owner also needs to pay attention to the specifics of using his “horse”. To do this, you need to look into the air filter housing more often and change this element if there are signs of clogging.
How to change the Lada Kalina air filter with your own hands?
We purchase a new filter and prepare the following tools:
We open the hood of our “swallow” and disconnect the plug from the air flow sensor. This operation is performed in literally a couple of seconds without using any special tool. The sensor is secured with a conventional fastener, which follows:
- wait from bottom to top;
- pull to the side with some effort.
The freed wires can be hooked onto something so that they do not get in the way when replacing the filter (if the procedure is performed by an experienced motorist, he simply moves them to the sides). After this, you need to unscrew the four bolts that secure the air filter to the cover. It is advisable to perform this operation with a Phillips screwdriver. But it doesn’t matter if you don’t have it on hand. On most Kalinas, the tightening of the mentioned bolts is not strong, which means they can be unscrewed with a simple flat-head screwdriver.
After removing the bolts, safely open the cover, pulling it out with little force. Before us is an old filter that we want to replace. We take out the spent element, carefully wipe the free space with a rag, and then also use a vacuum cleaner to completely get rid of fine dirt and dust. We take the new filter in our hands, orient it so that its ribs are located in the direction of movement (that is, forward), and insert it into the housing.
How to replace the air filter
The process is quite simple and is not capable of “stressing” the owner of LADA Kalina into wasting time. We think any caring driver will have 30 minutes.
As a tool, you only need to use one Phillips screwdriver.
- Open the hood cover of the Lada Kalina and turn your gaze to the right side of the compartment where the filter element housing is located.
- Disconnect the connector of the sensor responsible for the mass air flow (MAF). The plug is held in place by a clamp, which we press from below, and then we pull the block of wires to the side.
- 3. You will need a screwdriver to remove the 4 screws that hold the housing cover tightly in place. We remove it using a little force.
- The filter is now accessible. Before removing it, pay attention to the location of the schematic arrow present on the filter frame.
- We install the new element correctly, observing the indicated moment with the arrow. Remember that its orientation must coincide with the direction of the air sucked into the tract.
- We recommend vacuuming the seat in the filter housing and wiping it with a dry cloth.
- Before installing the cover, check that the sealing rubber is positioned correctly.
- Now we connect the DMRV connector.
Replacing the cabin filter on a viburnum
Welcome! Cabin filter - the name itself speaks for itself, namely the cabin filter, thanks to it all the air entering the car that flies into the car when driving is cleaned of dust, leaves and unnecessary dirt, but over time the filter becomes dirty and becomes very dirty, due to with this, it is no longer purified air that flies into the cabin, but all the dust that has accumulated on this filter over the entire time, because of this it becomes very unpleasant to drive and you are constantly thinking about replacing this filter with a new one.

When to change the air filter on Kalina?
Although modern filters are of better quality, a lot depends on the operating conditions of your vehicle, let’s say you often drive on dusty dirt roads, and this significantly reduces the life of the filter element and 30 thousand is out of the question.
Many car owners, of course, only drive on asphalt, but nevertheless, dust, dirt, and fluff inevitably get into the filter, no matter how much you want it.
Therefore, I would like to give a little advice to beginners: at least sometimes remove and blow out the filter with compressed air, this, so to speak, will allow your engine to breathe freely and it will thank you with its power and dynamics.
What can happen if the Kalina air filter is clogged:
- Loss of engine power.
- Increased fuel consumption.
- The mass air flow sensor (MAF) may fail.
Replacing the cabin filter of Lada Kalina
In some situations, you have to change the cabin filter on Lada cars; Kalina is no exception. It happens that a car owner notices that in the cold season, when the heater is turned on, the car windows begin to fog up. Or there is some kind of unpleasant, musty smell in the cabin. Also, sometimes there is a problem with the efficiency of the climate control system (if you have a Kalina with air conditioning). In most cases, the owner does not even suspect that the cause of these unpleasant phenomena is a clogged cabin filter and that it urgently needs to be replaced.
Self-replacement of the Lada Kalina air filter
All actions will be carried out in the engine compartment, so open the hood and start changing the air filter.
What you will need:
- New air filter Lada Kalina.
- Screwdriver.
- Rags, rag.
So, the steps are very simple: remove the connector from the sensor (mass air flow sensor) and unscrew the four screws that are made to fit a shaped screwdriver (Phillips), you can unscrew them even if they are not very tightly tightened with a regular screwdriver.
We lift the upper part of the housing and take out the filter, after which we thoroughly wipe everything there. We install the new one with the strips forward in the direction of the air flow if there is a hint on the body.
Now we screw the screws back in, and most importantly, don’t forget to insert the connector onto the mass air flow sensor, which you removed before.
At this point, replacing the Lada Kalina air filter is considered complete. Never forget to change the filter on time, be it a fuel, oil, air or cabin filter.
Replacing the cabin filter Lada Kalina
Preparatory stage: a set of automotive tools, screwdrivers, a new filter, rags. Where is the cabin filter located: in the engine compartment, on the left side, under the frill.
- We set the car on the hand (parking) brake, open the hood;
- in the upper left part, under the frill, unscrew the plastic decorative cover. It is secured with two bolts. We extract it;
- carefully pry up the air element, carry out preventative maintenance on the housing, remove dust, debris and leaves, which impedes natural air circulation;
- we lay a new purifier and assemble the structure.
We check the proper functioning, tightness of fit, and tightness. Provided that the installation is correct, the filter must be changed no earlier than after 8,000 km. At the same time, we inspect the parts and mechanisms in the engine compartment. It may require prompt replacement or installation of new consumables. If difficulties arise, always consult with specialists.
Welcome! Air filter - These are the lungs of a car that clean the air from various types of dirt and other substances so that it does not get into the car engine; even the smallest particles of dust when entering the car engine scratch the mirror part of the cylinder, and this has a very bad effect on the coefficient of friction. how it rises.
