Required replacement parts

Here we should highlight several main spare parts and consumables, which must be periodically changed on 2nd generation Lada Kalina cars.

Moreover, each element has its own regulated frequency.

Air filter. The engine air filter is changed every 30 thousand kilometers or every 2 years. That is, this is done upon reaching 30, 60 and 90 thousand km.
Cabin filter. It is recommended to replace it for the first time at 15,000 km. mileage Further, the replacement is performed every 15 thousand km, that is, within the framework of all regulated maintenance, starting with TO1.
Engine oil and oil filter. They are changed, like the cabin filter, that is, every 15 thousand kilometers. But Lada Kalina car owners advise carrying out the first replacement immediately after breaking in, that is, after a mileage of 2-3 thousand kilometers.
Brake fluid. It has to be changed much less often. The interval between replacements is 45 thousand kilometers.
Spark plug. An important element in engine operation. According to the regulations, they are changed simultaneously in each cylinder as part of maintenance every 30 thousand kilometers.
Timing belt. Its declared resource is impressive, so AvtoVAZ recommends changing it every 75 thousand kilometers.
Drive belt. It is changed in the same way as the timing belt, that is, after 75,000 km.
Coolant. According to the regulations, it is changed at the same intervals as belts.
Gearbox oil. The first fluid change is performed after 75 thousand km.
Fuel filter. The interval between replacements will be 30,000 km.
Lambda probe. It rarely fails, which is why the regulations specify a frequency of 75 thousand kilometers.

But it is important to understand that an earlier replacement may be required, as well as the replacement of other components not provided for by the regulations.

Features of the regulations

Lada Kalina cars are subject to fairly standard rules for technical inspection and maintenance.

Only one significant feature can be highlighted. Starting from April 2013, the Lada Kalina does not require the first maintenance of vehicles that were equipped with 16-valve power units from the factory and filled with semi-synthetic oil with a viscosity coefficient of 5W30.

And if you purchased a Kalina with an 8-valve engine, then as part of the first maintenance, which has the official designation TO-0, that is, zero maintenance, you only need to adjust the valve clearances. This concludes the list of routine maintenance within the framework of initial maintenance with a mileage of 2-3 thousand kilometers for Kalina owners.

But there are subsequent works that are relevant depending on the number of kilometers traveled or the past years of operation.

Let's consider the routine maintenance prescribed on the official website of the AvtoVAZ company, without taking into account the zero (TO-0).

First maintenance

It is carried out after 1 year from the start of operation or after 15 thousand kilometers.

It is worth immediately noting that the verification activities that will be presented below are relevant within the framework of each maintenance. That is, these nodes are checked, adjusted, tightened connections during all maintenance.

These mandatory diagnostic measures apply to the following components and systems:

body, bottom and wheel arches (corrosion, mastic peeling);
locks on doors and hood;
suspension arms and rods;
steering system;
tightness of the cooling system;
hoses, tubes and pipes of liquid systems;
brake fluid, its level sensor;
tension and wear of the timing belt;
generator;
wiring;
wheels and tires;
brake system;
battery;
head optics;
direction indicators, brake lights, etc.;
interior lighting;
power steering;
ECU errors;
handbrake;
sound signal (horn);
transmission;
Transmission.

Please note that only control and inspection work is carried out here. If something needs to be replaced or repaired, these operations are paid separately and are no longer included in the cost of maintenance.

If we talk about the regulated list of works within the framework of the first maintenance for Lada Kalina 2nd generation cars (conditionally the second maintenance), then the craftsmen must carry out:

adjusting the timing gaps and replacing the cylinder head cover gasket (relevant for 8-valve internal combustion engines);
changing oil and filter;
changing the cabin filter;
cleaning drainage holes;
Lubricating door hinges, keyholes and fuel filler flaps.

This concludes the first maintenance.

Second maintenance

This is carried out if the car has been in use for 2 years or the mileage has reached 30 thousand kilometers.

Here is the current list of routine maintenance for the 2nd generation Lada Kalina model:

replacing the fuel filter;
changing the air filter;
Change of oil;
installing a new oil filter;
changing the cabin filter;
installation of new spark plugs;
lubrication of door hinges, locks, wells;
cleaning and lubricating battery terminals and clamps;
cleaning drainage holes in thresholds and doors.

As for diagnostics, the activities here are the same as for all other maintenance. They are listed above.

Third maintenance

TO-3, as prescribed by the regulations, is carried out on 2nd generation Lada Kalina cars with a mileage of 45 thousand kilometers or at an age of 3 years. What comes first is taken into account.

AvtoVAZ prescribes that as part of this maintenance you need:

adjusting timing gaps and replacing gaskets for an 8-valve engine;
changing oil and filter;
replacing the cabin filter and cleaning the drainage;
lubrication of hinges, door stops, gas tank flap, keyholes;
cleaning the drainage holes on doors and thresholds.

As you can see, the regulations prescribe a relatively small list of works.

Fourth maintenance

Here the list of works is slightly different. Relevant for a mileage of 60,000 kilometers, or if the 2nd generation Lada Kalina has been in use for 4 years from the date of purchase.

As part of this maintenance you need:

change the fuel filter;
install a new air filter;
change the engine oil;
replace the oil filter;
change spark plugs;
change the cabin filter;
lubricate hinges, locks, wells;
clean and lubricate the battery terminals;
clean the drainage of doors and thresholds.

The differences, as you can see, are minor. But they exist.

Fifth maintenance

For owners of Lada Kalina cars, the fifth maintenance occurs when the mileage reaches 75,000 kilometers, or after 5 years from the start of operation.

As part of maintenance, the following work is performed:

the timing gaps are adjusted and the cover gasket on 8-valve engines is changed;
oil changes;
a new oil filter is installed;
the ventilation system filter is changed;
hinges, locks and holes are lubricated;
drainage is cleared.

Diagnostics are carried out in accordance with general standards relevant for each maintenance.

Sixth maintenance

The sixth maintenance is carried out at the 6th year of operation or after 90 thousand kilometers traveled.

Here the list of routine maintenance is more extensive. It consists of:

replacing the fuel filter;
replacing the air system filter;
changing the oil and oil filter;
replacing the coolant;
filling in new brake fluid;
replacing spark plugs in cylinders;
installation of a new timing belt;
lubricating hinges, gas tank caps, wells, etc.;
cleaning and lubricating battery terminals;
cleaning drainage holes on doors and thresholds;
replacing high-voltage wires if it is an 8-valve engine.

Maintenance cost

Here we will build on the regulated cost stated on the manufacturer’s official website.

Since TO-0 is carried out only for 8-valve internal combustion engines, other versions do not require this service. The service price for an 8-valve valve is 1.6 thousand rubles.
TO-1, depending on the engine, will cost from 4.9 to 6.3 thousand rubles.
For TO-2 you need to pay 6.1-7.1 thousand rubles.
TO-3 costs about 4.9-6.3 thousand rubles.
Prices for TO-4 range from 6.1 to 7.1 thousand rubles.
TO-5 costs 4.9-6.3 thousand rubles.
TO-6 will cost the car owner 11.5-12.3 thousand rubles.

These are only approximate prices, which may differ from actual prices for each specific case.

But the above figures show that the Lada Kalina is not only budget-friendly in terms of its market price, but also cheap in terms of maintenance.

Car wash

Before you start using your car, wash its exterior. In cases where you are going to check in the engine compartment, wash it thoroughly there, and if you are checking the suspension, you will have to wash it below.

Keep in mind that if you wash the compartment where the engine is located, be careful not to get any water on the pads, fuel injection system or sensors. The generator and starter also do not like a water bath.

Don't forget to disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.

After washing is completed, thoroughly blow the inside with compressed air to thoroughly dry the parts.

In order to perform this action, choose a wash without automatic washing, where everything is done manually. This kind of washing is also good because before you start washing with water, the surface of the car will be coated with a special composition that makes it easier to separate dirt from the body, and hard-to-reach dirt will be removed from the wheel arches and body underbody with water jetted using high pressure. Then they will definitely dry your car.
