When installing a new filter, pay attention to the fact that the arrow on the filter should be directed along the air flow, that is, towards the rear of the car.
When installing a new filter, pay attention to the fact that the arrow on the filter should be directed along the air flow, that is, towards the rear of the car.
Attention! The filter fits into place only with some deformation; it must be slightly bent diagonally, since the height of the hole is less than the height of the filter. You shouldn't be afraid of this. Having taken its position, the filter will straighten out and perform its functions normally.
Carefully install the filter cover along the lower guides and make sure that the latches are engaged. Next, we reassemble in the reverse order.
How to replace the cabin filter of Lada Vesta - instructions with photos
Selecting an original cabin filter
The manufacturer recommends using exclusively original consumables, which, in general, is not surprising. They themselves are of good quality and are widely available in car dealerships, but their price may seem overpriced to many car owners.
Regardless of the configuration, on all Lada X-Rays, the manufacturer recommends installing a cabin air filter with article number 272773016R (dust) or 272773151R (carbon). They are also known under other articles, there are no differences in them, and they are interchangeable:
- 272770567R
- 272777764R
- 272778214R
- 272779683R
- 272889739R
It is worth noting that sometimes consumables and other spare parts may be supplied to dealerships under different part numbers. Which can sometimes confuse those who want to purchase an original product.
It is easy to distinguish - the paper filter accordion is impregnated with a carbon composition, and therefore has a dark gray color. The filter cleans the air flow from dust, fine dirt, germs, bacteria and enhances the protection of your lungs.
What to prefer?
VAZ manufacturers equip vehicles with a filter component model such as Mann. The catalog number is recorded in the technical documentation.
It is not necessary to use the same model for replacement. After all, a huge number of products are put up for sale that are suitable for completing the Lada vesta interior. So, you can use elements from brands such as BIG, Ekofil, Nevsky. The cost of such products varies.
When selecting a filter, the article number is checked. Taking it into account eliminates the difficulties and problems associated with selection and installation.
In order for the replacement of the cabin filter to be successful, the features and recommendations of specialists, which are recorded in the technical documentation, are studied.
Signs that replacement is needed
The cabin filter itself does not in any way affect the driving performance of the car, and many car owners often forget that it also requires maintenance.
The manufacturer recommends changing the cabin filter at least every 15,000 km , and if the air is too dusty or polluted, then every 5,000 km. However, replacement may be required sooner. The need to change the carbon filter can be recognized by the following signs:

In addition, you should check its condition at least 2 times a month in the summer and at least once in the rest of the year.
When to change
In accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, maintenance of the interior cleaner is carried out every 30,000 km. As applied to the CIS, Russia, among others, the interval is large.
Taking into account climatic conditions, the level of dust and gas contamination of the territory, the purifier needs to be updated every 15,000 km, with the exception of unscheduled maintenance situations.
Signs that replacement is needed
- reducing the force of air flow from the deflectors;
- the appearance of a fetid odor and rot in the cabin, which is dangerous for the human respiratory system;
- Leaves, dust, and dirt fly out of the deflectors when the stove heater is activated;
- the onset of the time interval according to the instruction manual.
Replacing the cabin filter Lada Vesta -

How often should I replace?
The manufacturer of passenger vehicles in the operating instructions indicates an interval of 25 - 30 km. mileage In practice, the resource is not relevant for domestic transport; it is too increased. Motorists recommend “updating” the cleaning element at around 15,000 km. This is the best option, which is acceptable both for densely populated megacities and for peripheral areas.

| 1. | Valentin , 32 years old, employee of a financial institution, owner of Lada Vesta: I’ve been actively using the car for a year and a half, no special comments.

| 2. | Gennady , 41 years old, manager: my Vesta has been working like clockwork for six months. I regularly carry out technical inspections and visit service stations. Instead of original consumables, I install high-quality analogues, their price is 20 - 25% lower. |
| 3. | Vladislav , 37 years old, private entrepreneur: due to my line of work, I spend a lot of time driving, concluding contracts with clients and suppliers. On weekends I devote time to the car, I carry out maintenance myself, I have experience and maintenance skills. |
| 4. | Dmitry , 45 years old, taxi driver: I’ve been working as a taxi driver for three years, of which I’ve been on Vesta for the second year. I can't say anything bad about the car. Yes, there were incidents, but they were quickly resolved. |
| 5. | Vadim , 29 years old, service station electrician: I’ve been working in the workshop for five years, I’ve studied the car market well. I bought Vesta because it is the best domestic product.

| 6. | Vitaly , 42 years old, manager: Vesta was one of the first for me, I learned the strengths and weaknesses, where would I be without them. The domestic manufacturer is still far from the foreign one in terms of quality. Considering the high cost of imported consumables, I buy domestic analogues. They are in no way inferior in quality, 20–25% cheaper. |
| 7. | Alexander , 33 years old, insurance company employee: my positive review of the Lada Vesta car. The car is good, the assembly is of high quality, some of the spare parts are imported. For example, a cabin filter from Renault, although it is often replaced with a Russian equivalent. |

| Negative | |
| 11. | Victor , 45 years old, consultant: The domestic Lada Vesta is a good car, but replacing consumables with Russian ones is not the best solution.

| 15. | Vasily , 38 years old, health worker: I go out of town with friends every week to go fishing. The car instantly picks up dust, the door seals are weak, and the cabin filter quickly becomes clogged. Instead of 30,000 km, I replace it with 10,000 km. |

Recommendations for selection
Service center specialists strongly advise purchasing consumables with original factory catalog numbers. However, the high price of the “original” is not affordable for every car enthusiast. Therefore, they are forced to look for cheap but high-quality analogues.
Always check the integrity of the packaging, the presence of protective holograms, and quality certificates. If anything is in doubt, it is better to refuse the purchase.
Conclusion
The process of replacing the cleaning element is simple, but requires care on the part of the repairman. Prevention will take no more than 10 minutes.
It is not necessary to contact a service station, but provided that there are no major breakdowns that require the prompt intervention of a specialist. Observe replacement intervals, buy original consumables.
How to understand that the cabin filter is clogged, signs
Therefore, no one changes the cabin filter based on mileage. Of course, you can time the filter replacement to coincide with scheduled maintenance, but you also need to know the obvious signs of a clogged cabin. At least the most basic ones:
- The airflow intensity decreases when air recirculation or heating is turned on. The stove may blow warm air weakly, and the air conditioner will no longer be effective. True, in these cases the filter is not always to blame. It is quite possible that the air intake is clogged, this is especially true for autumn with its eternal fall of leaves and for the snowy winter.
- The windows from inside the cabin often fog up. This again occurs due to a decrease in ventilation intensity.
- There is a constant layer of dust on the front panel, sediment on the front glass. True, if the sediment or deposit is sticky to the touch, it is worth checking whether the heater radiator is leaking.
- Foreign odors in the cabin.
If these symptoms appear, you need to find the time to replace the cabin filter. If this is not done, dust and microparticles of silicon, small particles of rubber, dust from brake pads and clutch friction discs, heavy fractions of diesel engine exhaust, as well as bacteria and microorganisms will freely enter the cabin and, accordingly, into our lungs.
There are also technical issues. Firstly, when the cabin filter is clogged, the throughput of the air ducts deteriorates, and this entails an increased load on the electric motor of the heating system. As a result, it can easily overheat, the winding will short-circuit and the motor will fail, and changing the stove motor is not the most pleasant procedure, both in terms of work and time spent, and in terms of the money spent on replacing it.

Secondly, dust accumulated on the surface of the air conditioner evaporator absorbs moisture. A warm and humid environment is ideal conditions for the growth of bacteria and the appearance of corrosion on the evaporator itself, which will also not be a pleasant surprise for the owner.
From the factory, Lada Vesta is equipped with a new cabin filter, a regular paper dust filter. Renault catalog number There is a nuance. The Renault filter package actually contains a German Mann CU22011 dust filter! But if you buy both in retail, they are both identical in size and characteristics, since, as you know, Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi does not produce filters.
There is a whole brood of analogues, and in addition, you can buy a carbon filter. It is more expensive, but for the first few thousand runs it will have an antibacterial and adsorbing effect on the air. After 4-5 thousand, as a rule, the carbon filter already works in the same way as a regular dust filter. There is certainly a difference between them and it is felt immediately. True, they are somewhat different in price.
For example, a regular dust filter for Vesta NF6433 costs $3, while its carbon counterpart NF6433 C costs one and a half dollars more.
Here are several replacements for original cabin filters for Lada Vesta:
- AIKO AC0203C;
- AMD AMDFC738C;
- Fortech FS146;
- LYNXauto LAC1925;
- Fortech FS146;
- Bosch 1987 435 011;
- FranceCar FCR21F090.
Another cheap analogue of a Renault filter
And a number of other other manufacturers offer both two- and three-layer dust filters and carbon elements.
Theoretically, to replace the cabin filter, you need to remove the panel to the left of the front passenger on the center console and disassemble the glove compartment. In general, there is not much work, but it also takes some time. Practice has shown that it is possible to change the cabin filter without disassembling the glove compartment.
This is done like this:
- Unscrew the self-tapping screw with a TORX-20 bat at the bottom of the panel.
- Use a thin screwdriver or a plastic mounting spatula to pry up the upper part of the panel...
- ... and remove it, lifting it up and disengaging it from the eyes.
- We look under the glove compartment and find the cabin filter cover closer to the engine shield. It is secured with two plastic latches. You can easily reach them with your fingers.
- Unclip the cover latches and remove it.
- All that remains is to remove the filter, slightly bending it, from the cartridge. The filter is quite soft, although it fits tightly into the cartridge.
Now we carefully clean the inside of the cartridge, preferably with a vacuum cleaner, wipe it and install a new filter, paying attention to the arrow at the end.
The arrow indicates the direction of air movement and should be directed towards the rear of the car. We carry out assembly in reverse order.
Replacing the cabin filter on Lada Vesta cars is one of those operations that can be carried out by the driver himself. It does not require any special knowledge or tools from the car owner and can be completed within 40 - 45 minutes.
