Dimensions of the new VAZ 2110 cabin filter

Tasks and functions

The immediate task of the cabin filter is to retain and prevent all kinds of contaminants, dust, pollen, and harmful microorganisms from entering the cabin. A simple air filter is responsible for retaining dirt particles, and a carbon filter is used to combat odors.

clogged

If you are an allergy sufferer who cannot tolerate the smells of flowering plants, you will have to change the filter every year just before the flowering season begins. In other cases, replacement is performed approximately every 7-12 thousand kilometers.

If you do not change it in a timely manner, this will lead to numerous contaminants entering the cabin, which you and your passengers will breathe. It is unlikely that you want to inhale dust and dirt, as well as develop an allergy to plants in your child. Therefore, it is extremely important to carry out the replacement procedure on time.

When to change your air filter often

If the car is used in ideal conditions (minimum dust, no traffic jams, driving in higher gears without exceeding speed), then replacing the filter is necessary after 30 thousand kilometers. In Russian conditions, this period must be reduced to 20 thousand kilometers. If you live in a large city and often get stuck in traffic jams or live in a village with many fields, then the filter must be changed every 10 thousand kilometers.

Oxygen is necessary to ensure proper combustion of the fuel inside the closed cylinder system. On average, 1 kg of fuel can contain 15-20 kg of air.

This is the amount of oxygen that passes through the air filter every day. When operating in harsh conditions, it is prone to contamination, which prevents further air flow. The resistance of any filter should be minimal - this will ensure maximum engine efficiency during combustion of the mixture.

The frequency of replacing the air filter is not constant and depends on many factors. The first is the engine size and type of car, the second is the operating conditions. In general, replacement intervals for all vehicles are set at 15,000 km. However, when operating the car on country roads, this figure can be significantly reduced. In addition, the cleanliness of the air is also affected by enterprises located near where the car is moving.

To ensure reliable engine operation, it is recommended to change the air filter as often as possible. The average mileage is 10,000 km, which will be optimal for any operating conditions. Plus, the price of the filter is relatively low, which means that replacing it frequently will not greatly impact the car owner’s budget.

When replacement is required

Mileage cannot be taken into account solely. Because there are a number of other factors that may require immediate filter replacement. Such situations include:

Problems with the ventilation system, which has lost its efficiency;
The appearance of unpleasant odors when ventilation is turned on;
Slow cooling process of the interior during the hot season;
Poor interior heating in winter;
Formation of fogging on the glass or the appearance of plaque from the inside of the cabin.

Which one is better to put

There are no specific recommendations regarding what kind of cabin filter should be installed on VAZ 2110 cars. Today there are a lot of manufacturers, and the quality of the products is high.

Of course, make sure that your cabin filter for the VAZ 2110 is an old model, so as not to buy a new one and not be able to install it.

Pay attention to the area where you live. For a village, a conventional air element is quite sufficient, which copes with mechanical pollution and almost does not encounter harmful emissions.

With coal processing

But for the city it is recommended to buy a carbon cabin filter.

DIY zero resistance air filter

The cost of such a filter is relatively low, and you can check its effectiveness by installing a zero-resistance filter on your car yourself.

The zero-resistance filter is secured with a regular metal clamp.

The Internet is filled with delight from car enthusiasts who confirm the effectiveness of using the “zero resistance” effect on their own vehicles.

The simplest air filter of this type can be made from a standard version of the “air vent” with the help of some improvements. For example, you can use a Zhiguli “saucepan” by modifying it in the following order:

A more advanced model of using the principle of zero resistance is to install each cylinder with its own manifold with an air receiver and filter. This option is widely used in aircraft and sports engines. Cars that have undergone professional engine tuning can be easily recognized by the characteristic four air intake pipes leading through the front grille of the car. Setting up the operation of such a motor is not an easy task, but quite realistic.

Installation

It all depends on what cabin filter your VAZ 2110 is adapted for. If the car is old enough, then the element here will need an old model. If the “ten” was released in 2003 and later, then you have a new model of an air purifier in the cabin. Accordingly, the replacement procedure is slightly different.

Old style

Remove the frill.
Five self-tapping screws and 2 nuts are used for fixation.
Remove them with a flat-head screwdriver, pry the latch, which will allow you to move the frill.
Now look at your filter. Is it vertical? Great. Then turn it towards you to remove it.
Before installing a new element, be sure to clean the compartment using a vacuum cleaner.

Since you have already removed it, experts recommend slightly modifying the interior. The process takes literally a few minutes, but it is beneficial.

Mark with a marker where the filter is positioned relative to the casing.
Make a hole in the casing through which the filter can fit.
Again, make an overlay on the casing and place it on two self-tapping screws.
Subsequent replacements can be made by simply removing the cover plate from the screws. Therefore, it will take you literally 5 minutes to change the filter.

Modernization

The issue of modification arises due to the connections not being tight and not only. The filter itself works well and effectively copes with its tasks.

Since this is a domestic “ten”, there are a lot of options for modernization and experimentation. Consumables are cheap, so you can try different methods.

If we talk about the modernized filter, then it needs to seal the cracks at the place of its installation. The gaps can be covered with any available materials - rubber, plasticine, foam rubber, and so on.

This modification seems strange, but it works and provides the new filter with a longer service life.

It is still surprising that after the release of a frankly unsuccessful, albeit modernized, cabin filter, AvtoVAZ did not listen to consumers and did not change anything. But car owners took everything into their own hands and corrected the situation with a plastic bottle and nylon stockings. That's how we live!

Oddly enough, some VAZ cars of the tenth family did not have a cabin filter (heater filter) installed. In addition, depending on the year of manufacture of the car, air filters may be installed differently. In this regard, car enthusiasts have many questions. First things first...

The cabin filter VAZ 2110, 2111 and 2112 can be installed:

Vertical. On cars that were produced before 09/01/2003. This filter may be absent altogether. Catalog number: 2110-8122012 or 2112-8122020–00.
Horizontally. On vehicles produced after 09/01/2003. Catalog number: 2111-8122020-00 or 2111-8122012

By the way, on the air filter boxes they write: “VAZ 2110-2112 manufactured after 01.09.2003.”

Consequences of untimely replacement

If you ignore filter contamination, you can very quickly damage the engine. We will try to describe this process in as much detail as possible. Initially, the car will begin to lose its former power. This is due to the fact that the filter walls are clogged and the amount of air entering the cylinders will be noticeably reduced, which will lead to poor fuel combustion. And this is fraught with increased consumption and reduced engine efficiency.

Then, each time the engine will start worse and worse. The idle speed will be unstable, and gasoline consumption will increase quite rapidly. Eventually, dirt particles accumulated on the filter walls will begin to penetrate the cylinders and scratch the filter walls. This leads to poor sliding and depressurization of the combustion chamber, which leads to loss of compression and, accordingly, power. Ultimately, the rings will become unusable, and the engine will only need a major overhaul.

Replacing the old-style cabin filter

You will need to remove the frill:

Unscrew the 2 nuts along the edges of the cladding using a 10mm socket.
Unscrew the 5 fastening screws using a Phillips screwdriver.
Pry up the fasteners at the back of the frill using a flat-head screwdriver.

It is not necessary to disconnect the windshield washer jets; simply move the frill to the side.

The cabin filter is located vertically inside the heater. To remove it you will need to stick your hand into the heater and turn the filter counterclockwise.

Installing the air filter is carried out in reverse order. We insert the filter into the heater and install it by turning it clockwise. As a result, it should firmly adhere to its foam edges. Old style filter layout.

By the way, in order not to remove the frill every time, you can modify the heater.

How to change the air filter on a VAZ 2107 with your own hands?

Replacing the air filter on a carburetor car is very easy. The need for the part is explained by the fact that it cleans the air that enters the combustion chamber of the engine. Without proper filtration, it will be difficult for air to enter the system, which will lead to a number of malfunctions. Therefore, the filter must always be in good condition.

Replacing a new air filter

You will need to remove the frill:

Wind shield fastening diagram.
Unscrew the nuts and screws of the fastenings using a 10mm socket and a Phillips screwdriver.
Move the frill to the side without disconnecting the washer hoses.

Now, to remove the filter:

Unscrew the 4 screws using a Phillips screwdriver.
Remove the filter cover.
Remove the cabin filter.

Installing a new filter is carried out in reverse order, checking the air direction indicated on the label.

By the way, in order not to remove the windshield cover every time, you can modify the frill. or borrow it from Lada Priora. And yet, the horizontal arrangement of the filter is not a good solution; in order for the cabin filter to last longer, it should be protected from dirt and moisture. If desired, modify the filter seal.

Zero Resistance Air Filter Efficiency

A decrease in the resistance of the filter element is equivalent to an increase in air flow speed and, as a result, should lead to an increase in the coefficient of filling the cylinder with an air-fuel charge. And this is true. Instead of a standard device, you can install a zero-resistance air filter with your own hands and get a noticeable increase in power. The engine will start easily and gain speed, but only if the engine is single-cylinder and designed to operate at constant speed, for example, in drives of pumps or current generators.

For a regular four-cylinder car engine, installing a zero-resistance filter instead of a standard one is pointless, otherwise automakers would have long ago equipped their engines with zero-resistance filters at the factories. Why, in this case, is a common air intake used for all four cylinders? The answer is clear - this option is simpler and cheaper to produce, and most importantly, all cylinders receive a guaranteed homogeneous composition of the air-fuel mixture, which eliminates numerous alignment problems.

The main problem is not the performance or resistance of the air filter element, but the proper alignment of the entire intake manifold. Due to the use of one intake (suction) pipe to supply air to four cylinders, the air flow moves unevenly in the intake manifold, with turbulence and waves.

By removing the filter element from the air vent box, you may notice that for a while the engine will run faster, but only in one small speed range. Usually these are idle speeds and slightly higher ones - 1000 rpm. Especially if the filter is already quite clogged with dust. But after a few weeks, dirt and dust particles will migrate into the oil sump and compression rings, sharply increasing oil consumption due to a decrease in its quality and poor performance of the rings.

Replacing the cabin filter on a VAZ 2110, VAZ 2111, VAZ 2112

Welcome! Cabin filter - it is also called a stove filter, because the air passes into the cabin mainly only through the stove and, as if its second name sounds like a simple stove filter. Over time, this filter becomes saturated with dust and other harmful substances that have a very detrimental effect on humans, so the filter must be changed periodically and not allowed to become very dirty, otherwise the air in the cabin will be constantly dusty and the respiratory tract will thereby be constantly saturated with dust and other rubbish that appears on the filter during its use.

Note! In order to replace this filter with a new one, you will need to stock up on: First of all, a screwdriver, and also recommends using a brush or a regular rag in order to remove all leaves and dust from the compartment that is located under the wind shield, also you will need to stock up on a set of wrenches or spanners for removing wipers from the car, and for other things! (If possible, then take another vacuum cleaner with you)

14.26. What you need to know when buying an air filter

Now our car enthusiast is faced with a problem - he must choose. And choosing is also not easy, because the market for car filters is large. A filter is not an engine or a crankshaft; it doesn’t matter who made it or what design it is, as long as it performs its functions and is inexpensive.

From time to time, new products appear that use new designs and materials, but it happens that they do not even have a quality certificate.

The trouble is that a poor choice of something as small as, for example, an air filter, which even costs $5, can ruin the engine, and here the costs are measured not in units, but in thousands of dollars.

The purpose of the air filter is clear to everyone: to block the access of dust and debris to the working cavity of the cylinder. The entry of small particles there causes intense wear, and as a result, an increase in the gaps between the piston and the cylinder wall.

Let's look at the design of a conventional air filter.

The FILTER CURTAIN is the main working part of any filter, but the filter will not perform its functions if it does not fit tightly into the housing without gaps.

INNER MESH - it is only necessary if the sealing end discs are made of an inelastic rigid material, as it is the element that helps keep the sealing ring contact surface fairly even. But if there are dents on the housing covers, then the mesh will only interfere, maintaining the rigidity of the structure and preventing the seal from filling these gaps and preventing the entry of untreated air.

END SEALING DISCS - their purpose is, first of all, to promote absolute sealing when clamping the filter into the housing, to prevent dirt from passing past the filter curtain. If the material from which the sealing end disks are made is elastic, then a mesh in the filter is not needed - the rigidity of the structure is achieved using the stiffening ribs of a corrugated filter curtain. The elastic seal covers all cracks and irregularities on the surfaces of the housing without interference.

The main defects that are allowed in the manufacture of air filters, leading to premature engine failure:

– use of low-quality filter paper; – small area of the filter curtain (leads to premature clogging and, as a result, power decreases and fuel consumption increases); – incorrectly selected material for sealing discs (insufficiently elastic, brittle at low temperatures); – incorrect profile of the sealing discs (leads to the impossibility of a tight fit to the body).

Typically, the car owner does not delve into the intricacies of the filter design and chooses the filter that is suitable for him in his own way.

Research has shown that when choosing a filter, buyers are interested in:

– filtration reliability; - affordable price; - marketable condition; - a well-known brand.

How to replace the cabin filter, also known as the heater filter, on a VAZ 2110-VAZ 2112?

Note! Before we begin, remember what we mentioned earlier, namely, we talked about the year of manufacture of the car (2003) and also talked about the location of the heater filter, that is, that depending on the year, this filter was located in a slightly different place, now We will explain everything to you in more detail!

Firstly, cars produced before 2003 were mainly equipped with filters that were installed on them only vertically, and on cars produced after 2003, this filter is located only horizontally, and when purchasing a new filter (They are slightly different) it is necessary check with the seller what kind of filter it is, and it should also indicate before or after on the boxes, so pay special attention to this so that you don’t have to go for a new filter again!

Secondly, we emphasize that on cars produced before 2003, this filter was not always installed and there are cases when it is simply missing, but it is still possible to install it if there is a hole under the windshield! (What kind of hole is this, look at the photo in paragraph 8, under the “Note!” section)

And finally, let’s add one more thing, in order to get to this or that filter (This means the year of manufacture of the car, before or after 2003), you will need to perform an identical operation to remove the windshield (This is point 1-6), and after removal In this article, we will inform you directly on how to replace this or that filter!

Removal: 1) At the very beginning of the operation, you will need to remove both windshield wipers from the car, to do this, pick up a wrench or a socket wrench and use it to unscrew one single nut that secures one of the wipers, then do this operation and with a second wiper.

Note! In principle, you can not remove them, but then the work will be less convenient, and besides, one wiper can be removed in about a minute, so see for yourself what suits you best!

2) Next, when the nuts are unscrewed, pull one of the wipers up and thus completely remove it from the car. (Do the same with the second wiper)

3) Then pry off several plugs (I think there are only 4 of them), under which there are screws for securing the wind cover.

Note! When all the plugs are removed, take a screwdriver in your hands and use it to unscrew all the screws that were under these plugs and that secure the upper part of the windshield!

4) Now go to the screws (there are about 6 of them) that secure the windshield at the bottom and then carefully unscrew them and put them somewhere so as not to lose them, because they are painfully small.

Downpipe

The receiving pipe consists of a flange, two pipes, a gas receiver 23, welded from two stamped halves, closed on both sides with asbestos heat-insulating gaskets and thin-walled protective casings. The exhaust pipe is attached on studs to the exhaust manifold with four brass nuts, as well as to a bracket secured to the gearbox with a clamp 22. A sealing gasket made of asbestos sheets reinforced with steel tape is installed between the exhaust pipe and the manifold. Since 1988, the gasket has been made of elastometal. The gasket and nuts are disposable.

The mufflers consist of two stamped half-bodies welded together. Inside the silencers there are perforated pipes and partitions that form chambers, each of which suppresses noise in a certain frequency range.

The main muffler 17 has two stamped half-bodies 25 and 35, perforated pipes and partitions 28, 30 and 34, of which two partitions are made blind. Sheet asbestos or other insulating material is placed under the casings of the upper and lower half-hulls for thermal insulation and noise reduction.

The main muffler half-bodies and internal perforated pipes are made of stainless steel to increase corrosion resistance. The exhaust pipe 14 of the VAZ-2106 may have a decorative gas outlet nozzle made of stainless steel.

The front and rear additional silencers, unlike the main one, have only one blank partition each; their perforated pipes are located coaxially and have throttling diaphragms, like the first car models produced. Installing diaphragms when repairing a car is not recommended due to the additional loss of engine power due to exhaust gases.
