In order for the car's engine to work stablywith maximum performance, it needs a high-quality fuel mixture. One of the most important devices involved in its formation is an air filter — an essential element of any engine, be it petrol or diesel. It is he who provides the carburetor or injector with air, cleaning it from moisture and dust.
In this article we will talk about what a VAZ-2110 air filter is, and also consider the process of its installation.
Why do you need a filter
Both gasoline and diesel engine can perfectlyto work without an air filtration device, but how long is it enough? The smallest particles of dust, dirt and moisture when they hit the engine cylinders over time will begin to destroy the rubbing parts.
In addition, the fuel mixture, whichmoisture and various garbage will enter, not only will not provide sufficient power, but also will become the reason of fast failure of the carburetor, injector, nozzles, etc.
Where is and what is the air filter element
Воздушный фильтр ВАЗ-2110 располагается в engine compartment of the car. Depending on the type of engine, its body may have a different look. In carburetor engines it is made of metal and has a round shape. Air filter VAZ-2110 (injector) is placed in a rectangular plastic housing.
The filter element itself also has a different shape: for the carburetor - round, for the injector - rectangular. It is made of a special porous material compressed into an accordion.
The filter housing of the injection models is connectedwith the engine through the corrugations. This is a kind of air duct through which the already purified air enters the device, where the fuel mixture is formed. Corrugation air filter VAZ-2110 - a thick corrugated rubber hose. In carburetor models, the body of the filter element is mounted directly on the carburetor.
When to replace the filter
Naturally, the filter element everbecomes unusable and requires replacement. For VAZ-2110 cars, the manufacturer strongly recommends its replacement after every 20 thousand kilometers. If the machine is operated in conditions of high pollution, it is better to carry out this procedure after 10 thousand km, when the engine oil and oil filter are replaced.
It also happens that the air filter VAZ-2110becomes unsuitable for further work and much earlier. In carburetor engines, for example, it can be thrown with oil if the oil scraper rings fail and stop coping with their task. In addition, the filter may be damaged by mechanical damage, fuel or water. In these cases, it is subject to immediate replacement.
Features of choice
Подобрать воздушный фильтр ВАЗ-2110 сегодня не presents no problem. You do not even need to take it with you to the store or the market. It is enough to inform the seller of the car model and engine type (carburetor or injection), and he will offer you a choice of several products from different manufacturers.
Immediately we denote that the best option would beThe original filter element made by AvtoVAZ, but you can also purchase and install worthy counterparts, such as Bosch, Mann or Filtron.
Air filter VAZ-2110: dimensions
In case you find an incompetent salesman, it will not be superfluous to know the sizes of filters for different types of engines.
For carburetor engine (round):
- height - 62 mm;
- outer diameter - 232 mm;
- internal diameter - 182 mm.
For injection engine (rectangular):
- width - 213 mm;
- length - 213 mm;
- height - 58-60 mm.
Filter element with zero resistance
There is another type of filter element forinjector motors - filter with zero air resistance. This is a kind of tuning element designed to improve the air intake. The material of the filter element here has practically no resistance to the incoming air. This significantly increases the power and acceleration of the engine. But this tuning has three drawbacks:
- the price of “nulevik” is significantly higher than that of a conventional filter;
- high fuel consumption;
- need to be replaced after every 5-7 thousand mileage.
Installation of the filter VAZ-2110 (injection engine)
Now let's see how to install the air filter yourself, what is required for this.
Instruments:
- cross bit screwdriver;
- key for 10;
- wet cloth or sponge to remove dust;
- new filter.
We install the car on a flat surface, open the hood, disconnect the negative terminal from the battery, find in the engine compartment the body of the filter element and the corrugation going to the engine.
Behind the case is the air pipefilter VAZ-2110, which is worn corrugation. It houses the mass air flow sensor (DFID) connector. Disconnect this connector. Weaken the clamp on the pipe and disconnect the corrugation.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the 4 screws that secure the filter housing cover, remove it and set it aside. We retrieve the fulfilled filtering element.
Влажной тряпкой или губкой протираем внутреннюю the surface of the case and cover, removing dirt and dust. We put in place a new filter. Install the housing cover, tighten the screws, connect the corrugation, connect the sensor connector. We throw the weight terminal on the battery, start the engine, check its operation.
Installing the air filter VAZ-2110 (carburetor)
In vehicles with a carburetor engine, the procedure for replacing the filter element is much easier. Of the tools and tools here will only need a wrench for 10 and a rag.
We install the car on a flat surface,raise the hood, find the filter housing. It has several spring clips securing the cover. Snap them off and unscrew them with a key for 10 nuts on the central pin of the cover. Raise the lid, remove the old filter element, throw it away. Remove dirt and dust from the inside of the housing with a rag.
Installing a new filter. Close the housing cover, tighten the nut, fix the snaps.
Installation of filter zero resistance do it yourself
The installation process of “nulevik” is also quite simple and can be performed independently. This will require a set of keys and a Phillips screwdriver.
Under the hood we find the case of the air filter VAZ-2110. Disconnect the ground terminal on the battery. Disconnect the connector DFID. Using a screwdriver, release the screw of the clamp and remove the corrugation going to the engine.
The key to 10 (better butt) unscrew the nuts that fasten the DMRV to the filter housing. Dismantle the filter housing and remove it.
Phillips screwdriver unscrew the fastening screwweight wires to the cylinder head. Under this screw install bracket mounting the air flow sensor that comes with the filter. Mount the sensor to the bracket with a bolt on the 10. The connection must be sufficiently rigid, otherwise the DFID will fail due to vibration.
We attach a corrugation to the back of the sensor and fix it by clamping the clamp. On the front of the DFID put on the filter itself and press its pipe with a clamp. Connect the sensor connector, connect the terminal.
Some useful tips
- Change the air filter in time, because the engine stability and fuel consumption depend on its condition.
- Inspect the filter element for its condition at least twice a month.
- In cars with carburetor enginePay attention to the cleanliness of the filter housing. If an oil or whitish emulsion appeared in it, then it is time to clean the breather or change the oil scraper rings. In this case, the filter must be replaced.
- Do not buy cheap filter elements.of dubious origin. It is better to contact a specialized store, where you will not only pick up the right model, but also advise on its proper installation.
- You should not install "nulevik" just like that. If you are not a racer and not a street racing car, limit yourself to simple models of filter elements.
