It is difficult to overestimate the role of a fuel or gasoline filter on cars, and especially the VAZ-2110. The manufacturer recommends replacement every 30 thousand km. However, taking into account the quality of the fuel and the environment itself, it is better to do this more often, approximately every 20-25 thousand.
Replacing the VAZ-2110 fuel filter
The first step is to figure out where this filter is located. An important point is what model the device is. If it's an old issue, then it's on the nuts. It should be said right away that it is not recommended to work with cigarettes, matches and other sources of fire; a little later it will become clear why.
The first step is to remove the battery terminals (plus and minus), after which you need to remove the rear seat, as it makes direct access to the filter difficult. It's easy to do, you just need to put in a little effort. After this, use a 10 mm screwdriver to unscrew the fastenings of the decorative gasket.
But that's not all, since we need to reduce the pressure in the system, and for this we need to turn off the fuel pump. There should be no problems with this, since every motorist knows how to do it. Before the VAZ-2110 is completed, you need to unscrew the fuel hoses.
Important points during work
You should always remember that even when the fuel pump is turned off, there is still fuel in the system, which will flow out through these hoses. It is for this simple reason that you should not smoke while doing work or illuminate yourself with a candle or match. It is advisable to take a 0.5-1.0 liter jar with you to drain the remaining fuel.
If while driving you notice jerking at speed or weak engine thrust, then it is quite possible that it is time to change the filter. Before doing the work, you need to go to a car store and buy a new one for the VAZ-2110 model.
It is advisable to acquire keys for 10, 17, and also 19 and a head. All this will allow you to make the change more quickly and comfortably. Every driver must remember that there is a lot of pressure in the pipeline system, so you need to be extremely careful. Once again, it is worth noting that you need to purchase only a high-quality, original VAZ-2110 fuel filter. The price for it can be about 200 rubles.
Replacing fuel filter 2110: step-by-step instructions
Once the filter has been found, you need to disconnect it. This must be done in the following order:
It should be noted that the VAZ-2110-injector fuel filter has no distinctive features from the carburetor version, so replacement is carried out in the same way. Now all that remains is to install the new part, but there are several important points, without which installation should under no circumstances begin.
Installing a new filter
There are several features without which replacing the VAZ-2110 fuel filter will be done incorrectly, and you won’t get far with such a car. The point is that polarity must be observed. It is indicated by an arrow directly on the filter and indicates the direction of fuel movement through the pipeline. The new consumable element must be mounted in such a way that the indicator arrow on it is parallel to the movement of gasoline.
Of course, you can immediately see the condition of the clamp that holds the filter; if necessary, it can be replaced with a new one. The same applies to seals, which gradually lose their properties and therefore do not fulfill the task assigned to them. Therefore, if they have become unusable, then it is worth replacing them with more reliable new analogues. It is advisable to purchase only original spare parts, and not copies.
As a rule, replacing a VAZ-2110 fuel filter is carried out in just 20-30 minutes, only sometimes problems may arise in the form of stuck seals, rusty nuts, etc. All this can be treated with VD-40 penetrating liquid.
Assembly must be done in reverse order. Before starting work, it is advisable to have a fire extinguisher in front of you; of course, it most likely will not be useful, but you can still play it safe. It is advisable to avoid contact of fuel with your face, and if it gets into your eyes, you should immediately rinse them with plenty of water.
By observing a number of these simple requirements, replacing the VAZ-2110 fuel filter will not be a problem. There will be no need to visit a service station and pay several hundred rubles to have the old consumables removed and new consumables installed.
VAZ-2114 is one of the most popular and popular cars of the domestic auto giant. Over the 10 years of production, the car was equipped with four types of engines. They were of different designs and power, consumed different amounts of fuel, but they had one thing in common - all units were injection. As you know, injection places special demands on the quality of gasoline. And it directly depends on the fuel filter. A clogged element causes low pressure in the fuel system, which leads to loss of power. Its damage causes oil, water and dirt to enter the injectors, and this is a direct route to a car service center. To avoid this, you need to clearly understand when it is necessary to replace the VAZ 2114 fuel filter, and most importantly, know how to do it yourself.
It's time to change: when and how to change the fuel filter on a VAZ 2114
Like any malfunction, complete or partial clogging of the filter element has its own “symptoms”:
- Problems with starting the engine, which only get worse over time;
- The power unit does not operate stably at idle;
- “Failure” during intense acceleration;
- Loss of power under load;
- Fuel consumption increases noticeably.
Of course, a malfunction cannot be unambiguously determined by one of the signs.
But if it is reliably known that the car has traveled about 20,000 km since the last replacement and was refueled at different gas stations, the likelihood that the filter is to blame is high.
Moreover, even if you are not completely sure, it is still better to change it before assuming a more complex malfunction.
Sometimes it is advised to measure the pressure in the fuel line. There is a grain of wisdom in this, but this method is only suitable for experienced car enthusiasts who do not need advice. In addition, you will need a special pressure gauge, which the average driver certainly does not have in his arsenal. Therefore, it will be easier and cheaper to change the fuel filter, and then, if this does not fix the problem, look for the problem further. Moreover, doing this on a VAZ 2114 is not at all difficult. But first you need to purchase a new filter.
Filter selection
The problem of buying a new fuel filter for a VAZ 2114 is not as far-fetched as it might seem. In any case, for those who will change it for the first time. The point is the difference between fuel filters on cars with a volume of 1.6 liters and on cars with one and a half liter engines. And they differ neither more nor less - in the way they are mounted on the fuel line. In the first case, a spring fastening is used, in the second, an outdated threaded fastening is used. Therefore, you need to decide which fuel filter to buy before going to the store.
In all other respects, it is no different from other fuel injector filters: it must withstand pressure up to 5 atmospheres and filter out foreign particles larger than 7 microns.
A few words about the price. You need to find out in advance the average cost of a fuel filter for a VAZ 2114. The store will probably offer the most expensive copy. If its price differs greatly from the average, and this is explained by better filtering, you should be skeptical.
The quality of domestic gasoline rarely allows you to drive more than 20,000 km on one filter, and this is much less than what most manufacturers guarantee. Therefore, it is better to choose a product in the middle price range and more frequent replacement.
Replacing the fuel filter yourself
If you contact a car service center with this problem, the cost of the work will rarely be lower than the cost of the part.

All about differential locks on the Niva and a little more -.
Meanwhile, changing the fuel filter on a VAZ 2114 is not at all difficult with your own hands. No special skills or tools are required. All you need is desire and compliance with TB.
Basic safety requirements
Work involving flammable and corrosive liquids always involves a certain risk. Therefore, it would be useful to remind you of the safety rules:
- It is necessary to make it a rule that all work on the car related to a possible fuel leak should be carried out with the negative terminal of the battery removed. This will prevent an accidental spark and protect against fire;
- The room in which repairs will be carried out must be well ventilated;
- It is necessary to completely exclude sources of open fire, remove heating devices away and, of course, forget about cigarettes and matches for a while;
- To prevent gasoline from getting into your eyes, you need to protect them with construction glasses.
And of course, don’t forget the general requirements when working on pits and overpasses.
Preparatory work
Before you start replacing the fuel filter, there are some minor things you need to finish up. Namely:
- Agree on a pit or overpass if you don’t have your own;
- Prepare open-end wrenches for 10, 17 and 19;
- Have a container for draining gasoline.
A fuel filter must be purchased and its completeness checked, in particular the presence of new o-rings.
Replacement procedure
First of all, the VAZ 2114 must be driven into the pit and be sure to put the hand brake on. For those who are replacing it for the first time, it is necessary to explain where the fuel filter is located on the VAZ 2114. It is located in the rear of the car under its trunk, next to the exhaust pipe. You should immediately pay attention to the direction of the arrow on the filter housing; this will be useful when installing a new one. The further procedure is as follows:
- The pressure in the fuel system is relieved. To do this, you can use several methods, but the simplest is to remove fuse F. This will turn off the power to the fuel pump. Now all you have to do is start the car and wait until it stalls. The ignition is turned off, the fuse is put in place;
- The negative terminal is removed from the battery;
- If the filter has a threaded connection, it must be treated with WD-40 or any equivalent;
- Holding the filter with a 19mm wrench and a 17mm open end wrench, try to unscrew the fitting of the fuel supply hose from it. The main thing here is not to use much force, otherwise breakage of the fitting cannot be avoided.
- When the supply fitting is unscrewed, a little gasoline will pour out of this part of the fuel line; you need to have time to substitute the prepared container;
- The outlet hose is also unscrewed in the same way;
- The old sealing rings are removed from the fittings;
- Now you can remove the old filter using a 10mm wrench. Care must be taken because... Gasoline mixed with water will also remain in the filter.
- The filter is installed in the reverse order, but there is one caveat. It is necessary to prevent gasoline from getting on the sealing rings. If this happens, wipe them dry before installation. And of course, you need to remember the direction of the arrow on the new filter.
- After the filter is in place and the fittings are tightened tightly, the connections are checked for gasoline leaks. To do this, the car must be started, but gasoline is first pumped into the line. For this purpose, the ignition is turned on several times and, after the pump is running, the ignition is turned off. Only now can you start the engine and, taking precautions, check the tightness of the tightening.
- If everything is normal, replacing the fuel filter on a VAZ 2114 can be considered complete.
If the machine is equipped with a 1.6 liter engine, the sequence of work does not change, with the exception of the mounting itself. In this case, it is enough to simply release the clamps, after which the filter can be removed.

Bottom line
VAZ 2114 is a reliable and unpretentious car. But you shouldn't abuse it. Only timely maintenance will allow you to feel confident during your trip and visit a car service center less often.
Good day, owners of domestic cars. Many of you are wondering: "How to change the fuel filter of a VAZ 2114"? Therefore, in this article we will talk about replacing the fuel filter VAZ 2114. Replacing a VAZ 2114 fuel filter is a fairly simple procedure that even a novice car enthusiast can carry out. Before we talk in detail about replacing the VAZ 2114 fuel filter, let's look at a little theory.
What is a VAZ 2114 fuel filter?
The VAZ 2114 fuel purification system consists of two filters - a coarse fuel filter and a fine fuel filter. The coarse fuel filter is located in the fuel tank and is a mesh that prevents large particles of dirt, water, etc. from entering the fuel system. We will consider replacing the coarse fuel filter in more detail in another article.
The VAZ 2114 fine fuel filter is a metal glass with a filter element made of special paper. The VAZ 2114 fuel filter has an inlet and an outlet.
On VAZ 2114 cars of an earlier production year, filters with threaded fastening to the fuel line are installed. But newer VAZ 2114 cars are equipped with fuel filters with a fitting. This is the so-called Euro mount, which allows you to quickly replace the fuel filter.
A fuel filter with a threaded fastening and a fitting fitting is shown in the figure below:
What types of fuel filters are there for VAZ 2114?
Fuel filters for the VAZ 2114 are sold on the Russian market from more than a dozen manufacturers. This is the well-known original Salyut, and the German SCT, and Nevsky Filter (NF), and Bosch, and Spectrol. This is just a small part that came to mind. Practice shows that all fuel filters cope with their task and the most important argument when choosing a VAZ 2114 fuel filter is the price. Don't buy a terribly expensive fuel filter. You can get by with something cheaper. For example, instead of one fuel filter for 300 rubles, take two for 150 each and change them not after 30,000 km, but after 15,000 km. This will be much more correct.
Why do you need to change the VAZ 2114 fuel filter?
Due to a dirty VAZ 2114 fuel filter, the following malfunctions may occur:
1. Unstable idle speed (in other words, “floating” idle speed, or they also say that the engine “troubles”);
2. Difficulty starting the engine. If the VAZ 2114 fuel filter is clogged, then starting the car will be quite difficult due to a lack of gasoline;
3. The engine does not develop full power. This is another malfunction in which the first step is to replace the fuel filter;
4. Increased fuel consumption. No matter how paradoxical it may seem, it is precisely because of a clogged fuel filter in the VAZ 2114 that fuel consumption may increase.
What do you need to replace the fuel filter on a VAZ 2114 yourself?
1. A garage equipped with a pit or overpass. If this is not the case, then you can get by with a jack.
2. Open-end wrenches for 17 and 19, as well as for 10. If the fuel filter is a new type (i.e. with a fitting, then an open-end wrench for 10 will be sufficient).
3. New fuel filter VAZ 2114.
4. New O-rings. Here you need to be more careful. If the filter is threaded, then the kit may include copper O-rings. If they are not there, then no need to worry. New rubber rings will suffice. If the filter has a fitting, then copper rings are not required.
5. Capacity 200-300 ml for fuel.
6. A change of clothes that you don’t mind.
When and how often do you need to replace the VAZ 2114 fuel filter?
The recommended replacement interval for the VAZ 2114 fuel filter is 30,000 km. This is a rather arbitrary figure, since everything depends on the quality of the fuel the car is fueled with. This figure is calculated using good quality fuel. But in our country, the quality of fuel is very poor, so it is better to change the VAZ 2114 fuel filter after 20,000 km. This figure was obtained empirically. After a run of 20,000 km (and this is an average year of driving in my case), the VAZ 2114 fuel filter loses its properties and does not do its job well.
It is better to replace the VAZ 2114 fuel filter before winter, since a new fuel filter will make it easier to start the engine in cold weather. It is best to time the work to coincide with.
Where to replace the VAZ 2114 fuel filter?
It is better to change the VAZ 2114 fuel filter in a garage equipped with a pit or on an overpass. But if there are none, then you can do without it. If you wish, you can do without a garage at all.
How much does it cost to replace a VAZ 2114 fuel filter?
The cost of replacing a VAZ 2114 fuel filter at a specialized service will cost the car owner from 250 to 500 rubles. The cost of the VAZ 2114 fuel filter itself varies from 110 to 400 rubles. Thus, the cost of replacing a VAZ 2114 fuel filter can be several times more expensive than the cost of the fuel filter itself. Agree, if you can save this money, then why pay more? Moreover, the procedure for replacing the fuel filter itself will take only 10-20 minutes.
Instructions for replacing the VAZ 2114 fuel filter.
1. We stock up on desire, take all the necessary tools, and change into work clothes.
2. We drive the car into a pit or overpass. Or we simply lift the rear of the car as high as possible with a jack. Be sure to use the handbrake, speed and wheel chocks.
3. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery (make this a rule when working with gasoline).
4. Relieve pressure on the fuel rail under the hood:
This is necessary so that when removing the fuel filter, gasoline does not flow into your hands. At this point you will need a container to collect fuel. This completes the preparatory work for replacing the fuel filter. Let's move on to the procedure for replacing the VAZ 2114 fuel filter.
5. If the filter has a threaded fastening, then loosen the thread using open-end wrenches 17 and 19. If the filter has a fitting, then simply bend the lock and move it to the side. Be prepared for some more gasoline to leak out of the fuel filter. After the fuel hoses are unscrewed, use a 10 mm wrench to loosen the clamp that secures the fuel filter to the body. And pull the filter out to the side.
6. Install a new fuel filter in place of the old one. It is important to install the VAZ 2114 fuel filter correctly, since the inlet and outlet of the filter are different. On all filters, the direction of fuel supply is indicated by an arrow.
The fuel filter must be changed after the car has driven 20-30 thousand kilometers, provided that the fuel you use is of good quality. We, or rather our gas stations, to put it mildly, have problems with this, so replacing the VAZ 2110 fuel filter should be done much earlier than the regulated date.
Sometimes it is necessary to change the fine filter due to problems with the engine. Jerking while driving and unstable idle speed may indicate critical contamination of the fuel filter.
In order for the 2110 to work, you need several standard keys ("17", "19", WD-40 fluid, a small container for fuel that can spill out when the filter is turned off) and half an hour of free time.
How to replace the VAZ 2110 fuel filter with your own hands - step-by-step guide
1. Some motorists ignore or simply do not know about this item, but it allows you to more accurately replace the fuel filter. Before removing the fine filter, I strongly recommend that you reduce the pressure in the fuel line, this is done as follows. It is necessary to remove the fuse responsible for the fuel pump, then start the engine and let it run until it stalls.
2. The VAZ fuel filter is replaced using an inspection pit or a lift. First of all, you need to find a fine filter; it is a small cylinder and is located under the machine, in the beam area and is attached to the bottom using clamps. (see photo) There are two fuel line hoses connected to it, so you can easily find it.
3. Take the previously prepared container and place it under, in case there is fuel left in the system.
4. Now you need to get the filter, this is done using the keys “17” and “19”. Clean the connections from dirt and dust, treat them with a WD tool if necessary, then unscrew the fuel line fittings, as well as the bolt securing the filter clamp, and remove the old filter.
5. Once the old filter is unscrewed, it can be disposed of. When installing a new filter, pay attention to the arrows that are on the fine filter housing; they should be directed in the direction from the tank to the engine.
6. Tighten the nuts of the fittings and check the tightness of the connections.
7. Reinstall the fuel pump fuse and start the engine. While the engine is running, check for fuel leaks in the fuel line.
How to replace the fine filter of a VAZ 2110 video:
The fuel filter is the same consumable item as gasoline; the more fuel passes through it, the more clogged it becomes, and the sooner it needs to be replaced.
The arrow indicates the direction of fuel flow
How often should you change the fuel filter? The range is very different: on some cars it needs to be changed every 10-30,000 kilometers, on others it is designed for the entire period of operation of the car.
If you don't change it in time..
All fuel passes through the filter, bringing with it any debris - dirt from outside, corrosion products, etc. Over time, the filter element becomes clogged and stops passing the required amount of fuel through it. Since the throughput drops, less fuel passes through it, and the pump still operates at the same performance, where will the excess gasoline go? That's right, it will increase the pressure in front of the filter and thereby increase the load on the pump, which will lead to its rapid wear.
A clogged filter will affect the injector by a drop in pressure in the rail, which will result in poor acceleration during hard acceleration and the gas pedal will not be as responsive as the first noticeable sign of a clogged fuel filter. And all because the mixture turns out to be lean, there will be insufficient fuel. Most likely, the oxygen sensor will show this and the “check engine” light will light up on the dashboard, you’ll have to go find out what kind of error this is, handy technicians will dismantle half the car because they don’t know that they do computer diagnostics with new spark plugs, a new fuel filter and normal pressure. ramp and a charged battery. Therefore, change the fuel filter on time.
