The Lada Vesta car is equipped with a combined fuel filter, which includes elements for coarse (mesh) and fine purification of gasoline where the filter is a paper element - it is located in the fuel module. The replacement itself is not frequent, but it must be done. Unlike most models, here the fuel filters are located in close proximity to the electric fuel pump, also known as the fuel pump, which significantly complicates the independent replacement of the fuel filter on the Lada Vesta. Nevertheless, the car periodically needs such replacement, so let’s deal with the fuel system in advance. Read the article to the end and you will understand this topic: you will know where the fuel block is located on the Lada Vesta, what filter can be changed in it, and are there any analogues of this part!
↑ Fuel filter location
A feature of the fuel system of such models as Lada Vesta and Xray, the price of which is exceptionally attractive, is its built-in design. What does it mean? First of all, the coarse and fine fuel filters in these models are built into their electric fuel pumps.
Moreover, these models have different types of electric pumps. If in the case of the Xray model they use a device identical to the one that can be found not only in Lada Largus, Granta or Kalina, but also in Renault Logan and Sandero, then the situation with Vesta is different.
The latest model has a different fuel pump. Its catalog number is 21800113900900. This, however, does not lead to a big difference in technical characteristics.
Analogues of the Lada Vesta filter
If the entire unit needs to be replaced, then the Lada Vesta owner has no chance to save money. However, individual elements of the system can be replaced with cheaper analogues. For example, you can install a gasoline pump from the Japanese company AISIN, which will cost about 3,000 rubles. Installation of an electric fuel pump from a Kia Rio car, the price for which is 4,000 rubles.
How much such work is worth at a reduced price - the car owner must judge for himself. It is believed that while there are no official analogues, it is better to replace the fuel module in a trusted service center and with an original one. Perhaps in the future this procedure will be simplified, or the part itself will become cheaper.
Based on the experience of some drivers, I decided to install an additional fuel filter in front of the fuel rail. The previous post talks about this in more detail. Comments, as always, are mixed. Some are for, some are against. So, I will describe my own feelings.
The mileage with this improvement has already amounted to more than 400 km. Exclusively around the city, in the heat, rain, traffic jams. That is, in the conditions where I work most of the time. What can I say. The car has become more torquey at the bottom. Smoother acceleration, without jerking. More dynamic. The second one starts off more confidently. Gasoline consumption has decreased, which I did not expect at all. Switching from first to second became a little shorter and smoother. And now the cons. Small twitches at start-up and when moving off did not go away. Which I would really like. And that’s what basically started it all. The switching time from second to third has also increased. I don't particularly like this.
Conclusion, would I bother with installation and spend 577 rubles, knowing the end result specifically on my car? Yes I would. In general, behavior has improved. Today, tomorrow they will deliver the remote air intake and air intake from the sport. A valve for the crankcase exhaust system has also been ordered and is on its way. I think with these modifications I will still get the desired result.
↑ Frequency of its replacement
According to the automaker, the service life of fuel filters corresponds to the service life of the electric pump itself. Therefore, there are no exact recommendations regarding the frequency of replacement of this element from official representatives of the corporation.
Attention! The manufacturer guarantees the operation of only original car parts.
Despite this, car owners occasionally experience clogged filters. The coarse filter, which is a mesh, must be replaced, although this operation is now not so easy - it was easier on Grant. A different situation arose with the fine filter. It is made of paper and cannot be separated from the pump.
As a result, in order to avoid problems and the need for an entire fuel pump, it is recommended to refuel only with high-quality gasoline.
Reviews

| 1. | Kirill, 32 years old, broker, owner of Lada Vesta: I actively use the car, I have no special comments about it. I fix minor damage and defects myself. The time has come to update the fuel, I replaced it myself. There is nothing complicated, I carefully studied the recommendations of specialists. Saved thousands of rubles at service stations. |
| 2. | Dmitry, 41 years old, manager: I systematically carry out technical inspections of the car and visit services. I try to buy original parts, but due to the high cost, I sometimes buy domestic analogues. They are 20–25% cheaper than imported ones, and the quality is in no way inferior. |
| 3. | Gennady, 37 years old, entrepreneur: I deliver goods, I travel a lot in a month, and there is no time left to independently diagnose the car. I constantly use the services of the service station. For me, a working car is the key to stability and income. I buy only original parts, despite the fact that they are sometimes a third more expensive than their analogues. |
| 4. | Dmitry, 40 years old, taxi driver: I’ve been working in a taxi company for the second year, driving a Lada Vesta. The car is good, the assembly is high quality. I replace many consumables myself, without visiting a service station. |
| 5. | Valentin, 30 years old, painter: I bought Vesta second-hand and received it in good condition. I periodically carry out maintenance on my own. The factory warranty has long expired, the design is clear to me, the principle of operation of the mechanisms is familiar from the Lada Granta. Replacing the same fuel filter is not difficult. Everything is simple and accessible. |
| 6. | Vladimir, 45 years old, entrepreneur: I use the car to travel to the office and on weekends out of town. I maintain Vesta in good condition, systematically carry out diagnostics, and replace consumables. Recently installed new air and fuel filters. There were no difficulties, I followed the instructions in the instructions. |
| Negative | |
| 7. | Victor, 45 years old, consultant: The domestic Lada Vesta is a good car, but replacing consumables with Russian ones is not the best solution. Instead of a fuel filter from Renault Duster, a domestic one is installed. Poor workmanship, insufficient cleaning. |
| 8. | Vasily, 40 years old, furniture salon worker: for me, Vesta is still a crude model with many flaws and requires systematic care. Original imported spare parts are expensive, while domestic ones, although cheaper, are of lower quality. |
| 9. | Dmitry, 35 years old, employee of a recruiting company: I use the car mainly for commuting to work, the mileage is not large. There were no capital investments, but I constantly hang around her. When replacing consumables and filters, difficulties often arise; sometimes I turn to service. |
| 10. | Vladlen, 29 years old, correspondence student: overall I’m happy with the car, no particular complaints. Breakdowns happen, but they are insignificant, I promptly contact the service station to fix them. In the engine compartment, under the dashboard there is limited space, access to components is limited. For me this is discomfort. |

↑ Features of replacement
The electric fuel pump of both Lada models is located in the gas tank of the car. In order to gain access to it, you must first remove the cover from the latter and lift the rear seat.
As a result, the car owner will see a system consisting of:
- electric fuel pump module;
- clamping ring;
- fuel tank;
- wiring harness blocks;
- rear fuel pipe.
Each of these elements plays an important role in the operation of the fuel system. So, the wiring connects the pump to the pressure regulator and the gasoline level indicator. And the gasoline line serves to supply fuel that has already been cleaned by filters to the fuel module.
When replacing, it is necessary to strictly monitor all fragile elements of this system.
↑ Dismantling procedure
The procedure for dismantling the fuel module and fuel pump is the same for both Lada models that we are considering - Vesta and Xray.
You need to start by removing the rear seat in order to free up access to the module. After this, carefully disconnect the wires that connect the pump and the cover. If you replace one of the elements on the cover, you only need to disconnect the cable that is routed to it.
If the goal is to replace the filter, for which you need to get the pump, turn everything off.
Only after all electrical wires have been disconnected should the pump be removed when necessary.

Topic: Fuel filter
As far as I understand, it is not possible to change it separately; it is combined with the fuel pump. It will be a bit expensive.

Re: Fuel filter
And why this nonsense stuffing without photos and links? This is not how topics are created on normal forums.

Re: Fuel filter
Are the pump and filter from Renault?

Re: Fuel filter
I don’t know why the fuel pump is there, but on Vesta now, like in many foreign cars, a fine filter is built into the fuel pump, but it is REPLACEABLE. The procedure for replacing it will now become somewhat more difficult; you will have to remove the fuel pump from the tank, but this will not have to be done every 10 thousand. According to the regulations, it seems 100 thousand, but here people usually change more often. On Grant I changed it to 40, cut it later, examined it - everything was clean.

Re: Fuel filter
But replacement is still quite problematic and time-consuming. They could have done it simpler, especially with our fuel quality.

Re: Fuel filter
Half of the country's foreign cars use our quality fuel, including those with the same filters integrated into the pump. Those who are not even able to change the oil in the engine and will not go there anyway will have it changed under warranty. I don’t see any big problems for myself. On my Grant, because I had nothing better to do, I removed the pump, inspected it, thought maybe I could clean the receiving screen, but it was clean, so I put everything back.

Re: Fuel filter
When I bought a Volga 2003, I also decided to flush the gas tank - “there’s such a mess of our gasoline there!” Surprisingly it was clean. Maybe the previous owner washed it (which I highly doubt), maybe our gasoline here is abnormally pure.
