When is it necessary to replace the filter?
The operating manual stipulates replacing the Kalina fuel filter every 30,000 km. You should not strictly adhere to this instruction. It is strongly recommended to increase the intensity of changing the cleaning element to 10-15 thousand km, especially in the following cases:
- operation in dusty regions;
- refueling with gasoline of average quality, which often slips at regional gas stations.
A clogged fuel purifier will negatively affect:
- acceleration dynamics;
- fuel rail pressure;
- fuel pump resource;
- fuel consumption indicators.
Reasons for failure
Among the most common reasons are:
- Use of low quality fuel. “Strong” gasoline often contains solid inclusions that clog the thin filter mesh.
- Natural aging. If a part is used for a long time, its working insert wears out.
- Paper breakthrough by fuel pressure. This often happens when using a defective or second-rate part.
- Mechanical damage caused by shocks and increased vibration.
Preparing the car for changing consumables
Any manipulations with the elements of the fuel line are carried out after comparing the pressure in the line with atmospheric pressure. After stopping the engine, the fuel in the line is still under pressure. It can be bled only after de-energizing the power supply circuit of the fuel pump module. This procedure is carried out as follows:
- turn off the ignition;
- remove the cover of the central tunnel lining using a flat screwdriver (forms the bottom of a niche for small items near the cigarette lighter);
- remove the 15 A fuse responsible for power supply to the fuel pump (second from right to left) from the fuse box located under the removed cover of the power supply and engine control system;
- turn on the ignition (there will be no usual buzzing from under the rear seat) and start the engine;
- After the engine stops spontaneously, crank the starter for 5 seconds.
You can prepare the Kalina fuel system for filter replacement in an alternative way:
- remove (on a sedan) or fold down (hatchback and station wagon) the rear seat;
- remove the fuel pump hatch, which is attached to the bottom with two self-tapping screws;
- disconnect the wiring block from the fuel pump module with the ignition off;
- start the engine;
- After running out of fuel, crank the starter for 5 seconds.

This article is simultaneously relevant for the following VAZ models: 2108i, 2109i, 21099i, 2114i, 2115i, 2110, 2112, 2111, Kalina, Priora. On each of these models there are two fuel filters, one for coarse cleaning (fuel pump mesh) located in the fuel module . Another fine filter is located under the car between the gas tank and the spare wheel niche (trough).
Before replacing filters, you first need to relieve the pressure in the system. There are several ways to do this. The first is to remove the fuel pump fuse (f1), located in the fuse box behind the center console.
To access it, you need to unscrew several screws securing the cover at the passenger's feet.
On Kalina, the fuse for the fuel pump is located under a plastic cover in the center console.
Or disconnect the fuel pump power supply, having first unscrewed the screws securing the hatch to access the fuel pump under the rear seat.
After this, start the car, and when it stalls, turn the starter a little.
A simpler option for relieving pressure would be to remove the protective cap from the end of the fuel rail and press the spool. It is better to place some small container under it, because... A small amount of gasoline will leak out.
The coarse filter (fuel pump mesh) is changed as needed, the fine filter every 30,000 miles.
To replace the coarse filter, you will need to unscrew the fuel pipes coming to the pump, and then unscrew the pump mounting nuts (head 10) and remove the pump from the tank. Remove the plastic flask at the bottom of the pump and remove the screen by moving downwards.
To replace the fine filter, you will need to unscrew the nut securing the filter to the car body, and then disconnect the fuel pipes from the filter.
There are two types of fastening of fuel pipes to the filter: classic threaded and snap-on. The first option will need to be unscrewed using two keys, one holding the nut on the filter, the other tightening the fuel pipe nut.
The second option simply snaps off by pressing the bracket.
Don't forget about the rubber O-rings at the ends of the fuel pipes. It would be better to buy at least 4 pieces in advance, and even better, instead of rubber rings, use copper washers.
Assembly is carried out in reverse order.
A coarse filter (fuel pump mesh) and a fine filter depend on the engine size. For the 1.5 engine there is a coarse filter with article number 2112-1139200, for 1.6 there is a filter with article number 1118-1139010. The fine filter for 1.5 (before 2005-2006 onwards) comes with threaded connections, for 1.6 (after 2005 onwards) with fittings for latches, but before replacing it is better to separately look at the connections of the fuel pipes to the filter. The catalog number of the original filter on nut connections is 2112-1117010-82, and the filter on snap connections is 2123-1117010-82
How to replace a fine fuel filter on Kalina: a step-by-step description of the technology
system The cleaning element is made in the form of a cylinder with two fittings and is located below the car on the right side of the tank. It is most convenient to perform the procedure on an overpass or lift. An uncomfortable alternative is to jack up the right side and place some kind of support under the car to prevent the body from suddenly jumping off the jack.
The supply pipes are fixed with special brackets, and the filter itself is pulled to the tank with a clamp. On some modifications, the cleaner is held by a trivial plastic holder.
The concept of dismantling the filter element is simple:
- remove the fuel pipes from the filter fittings by squeezing the clamps in a horizontal plane;
- loosen the clamp by unscrewing the screw with an open-end wrench or a 10mm socket;
- remove the cleaning module.
Since the element in question is constantly exposed to dirt and moisture, it becomes necessary to use a lubricant like WD-40 in the area of the clamp bolt. With every third replacement of the fuel filter on cars of the Kalina family, people's experts recommend simultaneously installing new tips on the power supply pipes.
Installation of a new cleaning element is carried out in the reverse order. Particular attention should be paid to:
- direction of the arrow of fuel movement (correctly - towards the engine);
- presence of a characteristic click when connecting the power supply pipes to the filter fittings.
Step-by-step instruction
Let's get straight to the point and tell you how to replace the fuel filter on a Kalina Universal.
- The first step is to relieve the fuel pressure. We work with the ignition off. And you need to relieve the pressure in the fuse block located by the gearbox lever. Remove the cover from the fuse box and the relay from the dashboard. After the fuel pump fuse has been removed, turn on the engine and let it run for about 3-4 seconds. The pressure has been released, let's move on.
- The filter is attached to the gas tank of the car on the right side , from here, holding two clamps, remove the inlet and outlet tubes from the filter.
- Move the filter holder aside and remove it safely.
- After removing the old filter, you need to install a new one. We proceed as follows.
- Using the arrow drawn on the filter, we determine which side to install it (it faces the direction of fuel movement.) We put the tubes on the filter until you hear a click.
- We put the fuel fuse back into the block and check whether the pipes are successfully connected and the operation of the car as a whole.

Write:
The main fuel filter on the Lada Kalina (fine filter) is installed separately from the pump, sensors and mesh filter. The Kalina 1.6 with the VAZ-11186 engine has 8 valves, and the same fuel filter is installed on the 16-valve VAZ-21126 and VAZ-21127.
Symptoms of the need for replacement
- Reduced sensitivity when pressing the gas pedal . There is a feeling that the car is holding something. Dynamics may appear, but this happens periodically.
- Floating engine speed at idle.
- If the filter is heavily clogged, the car may stall in neutral gear.
- The occurrence of periodic failures .
- Increased fuel consumption.
The Lada Kalina inherited the principle of fuel filtration from the “ tenth ” family. This principle allows you to carry out the work of replacing elements yourself.
The photo shows how dirty the fuel pump mesh can be.
Fuel filter for Lada Kalina - features
The fine fuel filter on Kalina is located under the bottom of the car, near the gas tank. It is a regular direct-flow filter; its design is a metal cylinder with a filter element inside, with an inlet on one side and an outlet on the other. Article number of the original spare part - 21230-1117010-82, price - 300 rubles. Manufacturer: AvtoVAZ. Also found under article number 21230-1117010-02.
A similar fuel filter is installed on the Lada Granta (2190-1117010), Priora and Niva. Also, spare parts similar in size and design were originally installed on such cars as Chevrolet Aveo, Chevrolet Nubira, Opel Astra G, Lanos and VW Polo (original number VAG 6X0201511B).
| Dimensions of fuel filter LADA 21230-1117010-82 | ||
| Height, mm | Inlet/outlet diameter, mm | Case diameter, mm |
| 160 | 8 / 8 | 50 |
Due to the fact that the gas filter is mounted on clamps, this makes it possible to use a large number of substitutes that have dimensions different from the original. The table below shows the models that are most often installed on viburnum and are the most popular.
| Manufacturer | vendor code | price, rub. |
| Bosch | 0450905316 | 400 |
| SCT | ST342 | 160 |
| MANN | WK55/3 | 400 |
| Nevsky filter | NF-2109G | 180 |
In fact, there is not much difference in which of the above filters will be installed. They all provide approximately the same level of fuel purification. But the most popular manufacturers are Bosch and SCT, since their fuel filters are certified and recommended by the manufacturer of the Lada Kalina.
Usually, when changing the main fuel filter, the fuel pump mesh filter in the tank is also changed. Original article number - 21101-1139200-00, price - 50 rubles. Of the analogues, Krauf KR1012F is most often installed, the price is 150 rubles.
When to change the fuel filter on Kalina?
The manufacturer recommends replacing the fine filter on Kalina every 30 thousand km. But, according to the experience of drivers, this period is too long, especially considering the fact that the fuel at domestic gas stations is not always of high quality. Therefore, it is recommended to do this every 15-20 thousand km. Before replacing, you need to relieve the pressure in the fuel line. To do this, you will need to pull out the fuel pump fuse, start the car, and wait until it stalls, having used up all the gasoline in the system. Then try to start the engine again 3 more times, after which you can start replacing.
How does a fuel filter work?
If we touch upon the qualitative aspects of domestic fuel, they have long been the subject of many complaints. Note that in this regard, both the manufacturers themselves and the large army of Lada Kalina owners are indignant. Often, if you have no choice, you have to fill the tank of your “horse” with substandard fuel. Such gasoline is full of various impurities and abrasive particles, in addition to which there is also water. Among the factors causing fuel contamination are the following:
- storage for a considerable period of time;
- ingress of dirt and dust during transportation;
- reactions of a chemical nature that occur inside the tank, etc.
Abrasive particles can play a cruel joke on the engine, because they, along with the fuel, go straight into the combustion chambers. To prevent this negative point, manufacturers use filters. And you need a timely replacement of the fuel filter on your car. Read below about where it is located, how to remove a clogged filter and how to replace it with a new one.
These components include:
- coarse filters that can “stop” particles larger than 0.1 mm; such an element is a mesh with an appropriate cell size and is located in the fuel supply pump housing;
- filters designed for fine cleaning; they are capable of trapping smaller particles, the minimum size of which is 0.15 mm; the product is installed in the line between the tank and the motor.
The structural composition of the filter is as follows. A working element made of specialized paper is integrated into the metal body. Operation leads to gradual clogging of various kinds of particles and impurities suspended in the fuel. This prompts periodic filter replacement to be included in the mandatory list of work performed on the vehicle as part of scheduled maintenance. This approach is also valid for Lada Kalina.
Replacing the fuel filter on Kalina
If the filter is heavily clogged, then:
- the engine power indicator decreases;
- fuel consumption increases;
- while driving there are jerks and unstable operation of the unit;
- the engine tends to stall.
When the manifestation of these factors becomes obvious, the filter requires urgent replacement. To avoid bringing the engine to critical conditions, the regulations provide for the interval (mileage) for periodic replacement of filters:
- with regards to the coarse cleaning component - 80-95 thousand km;
- for a fine filter element – 30 thousand km.
Advice! Domestic fuel is not pleased with its quality, and therefore we recommend combining filter replacement with work on changing the oil filter component, that is, approximately every 10 thousand km of the distance traveled.
Prices
The costs of new filter elements differ depending on the manufacturer. An original fine mesh spare part costs around 360 rubles, a coarse mesh will cost 150-200 rubles.
The price of analogues starts from 150 rubles and ends in the range of 850-900 rubles.
The most popular brands are:
- MANN – 820 rub;
- BOSCH – 450 RUR;
- HOLA – 400 rub;
- UFI – 250 RUR;
- PECAR – 310 rub.
If you go to a service station, the car owner will need to pay at least 1,000 rubles for everything. The final cost may vary in different regions.
Finally, about precautions when replacing
Compliance with the rules to ensure safety in this procedure is exceptional. Even following the utmost care during work, the release of flammable compounds and fuel spillage cannot be completely excluded. Otherwise, replacing the fuel filter on a LADA Kalina car is not a complicated procedure.
To prevent the risk of ignition of fuel vapors, you must:
- carry out the entire list of manipulations in a well-ventilated room or in an open area;
- Immediately clean up spilled fuel using a rag or filling it with sand;
- follow the rules for using portable lighting devices;
- stock up on a fire extinguisher;
- do not smoke during this repair process;
Remember to use gloves and goggles to avoid the risk of getting fuel on your hands or eyes.
