Having appeared on the domestic market about 3 years ago, the Lada Largus model immediately began to attract increased interest from practical owners to its person. For this car, the manufacturer has provided two options for equipping power units: 1.6-liter with eight and 16 valves.
The air path filter supplied from the factory has its own code - "8200431051". In some versions of Lada Largus, the standard equipment provides for the presence of an element from Renault, which has a different code - "8201153808".
Replacing the air filter in the air supply circuit is not difficult, so the vast majority of owners easily cope with this task. Before purchasing a new filter, it is recommended to first remove the old component and measure its geometric parameters.
General Aspects: When to Change
The instruction that is attached to the Lada Largus assumes the need to replace the filter every 20 thousand kilometers. Here we recommend making an adjustment for this scheduled maintenance period and reducing the designated period. This need is caused by the peculiarities of operating a car in an environment of increased pollution and gas contamination, which is important for modern megacities and dusty soil "directions".
If you neglect the replacement of this important component, then the consequences for the motor can be very sad. The engine will begin to experience air "starvation", which will negatively affect not only fuel consumption, but also provoke an overestimated oil consumption. And this already “smells” of an early overhaul of the unit, because the components of the piston group will not take long to wait.
A practical difference between modern elements is the possibility of cleaning them by washing. Thus, the service life of these components is about twice as long as that of traditional filters.
The need to replace the air filter on Largus
It has long been undeniable that the air filter in the air path is endowed with a significant role, because along with its fuel "colleague" it ensures the purity of the mixture sent to the combustion chambers. The power characteristic of the LADA Largus engine directly depends on this factor. The operation of a car provides for an uncontested and gradual clogging of the component we are considering. You should not wait for the moment of complete cessation of the filtering function, because the operation of the motor will be impossible, and the harm to it cannot be overestimated.
Lada Largus with a dirty air filter will be prone to increased fuel consumption and unjustified power reduction. The manufacturer deliberately placed the air filter in the most convenient place. So that the owner is not too lazy to look into it and evaluate the degree of clogging. If the fact of contamination is on the face, then resort to replacement as soon as possible. This work will become feasible even for the owner, who has just embarked on the path of a motorist.
How to replace the air filter correctly?
The procedure on the 8 valve unit has some minor differences from the algorithm on the 16 valve version. This prompts us to describe the sequence of actions for each of the types of motors separately.
Note the general requirement: it is recommended to carry out the replacement when the LADA Largus car is located on a flat area, where there is a sufficient level of illumination. Prepare a container (bag) in advance in which you can dispose of the old filter.
We operate on the 8-valve version
- We take out the used filter component on version 8 valves.
- Install a new filter in its place.
- Close the lid of the box.
- We tighten the bolts.
How to proceed on 16-valve units?
- We are looking for the place of "deployment" of the element. It is located in the central part of the compartment directly behind the motor.
- Here you have to unscrew a couple of bolts holding the filter box.
- Having loosened the clamps of the air duct, and having removed the protection, it opens the halves of the filter box.
- For convenience, the body of the element should be taken to the side.
- We extract the component that has spent its resource to the outside.
- We install the new component in its original place.
- Now the body is to be returned to the "legitimate" position.
- Do not forget about installing the previously removed plastic protection.
- We tighten the body bolts.
- We clamp the clamps of the air line and, after checking the tightness of the assembly, we start the engine and enjoy its “free breathing”.
Air filter replacement is complete.
Summing up
As we stated, changing the air filter is so simple that it is not capable of raising any questions. The solution of such issues in the conditions of service stations is a waste of the financial component. Despite the simplicity of execution, this procedure is very important to ensure the correct functioning of the Lada Largus engine. The excellent condition of the element contributes to the “demonstration” by the engine of its declared characteristics, which can only please owner of LADA Largus.
Many drivers do not consider the air filter an important element, so sometimes they do not pay attention to it, forgetting to replace it on time. The efficiency of the engine depends on the condition of the filter element. Therefore, you need to monitor its cleanliness and change it in a timely manner. The replacement procedure is very simple and can be carried out in garage conditions. On Lada Largus, it is only slightly different for engines with 8 and 16 valves.

Why and when to change the air filter
In order for the fuel to burn completely, it is necessary that fuel mixture contained 15-20 times more air than fuel. If the air that enters the car from the surrounding space is not cleaned of solid suspensions, then they will enter the engine. Over time, the motor will work worse and worse, which may eventually lead to the need for its overhaul.
Cleans the intake air air filter. Additionally, it dampens the noise that occurs in the intake tract. On engines running on gasoline, it acts as a temperature regulator for fuel assemblies. During operation, the filter gradually becomes clogged, its resistance to the incoming air flow increases and in power unit insufficient air supply. This leads to incomplete combustion of the fuel mixture. As a result, the content of toxic substances in the exhaust gases increases, the engine power decreases, and fuel consumption increases. In order for the power unit to last longer and have high power characteristics, it is necessary to change the air filter in a timely manner.
The manufacturer recommends changing the air filter to Lada Largus after 15-30 thousand kilometers, the exact dates are indicated in the car's operating instructions. The need to replace the air filter can be judged by its condition during a visual inspection. To do this, it is necessary to remove the filter element from the air filter housing and assess the degree of contamination. Replacement is necessary if the filter is very dirty or there are traces of oil on it.
The terms of replacement are greatly influenced by the conditions in which the car is operated. On dusty roads and in megacities where the ambient air is too polluted, the replacement has to be done more often. Turbocharged engines have increased requirements for air purification, so the time is reduced to 10-15 thousand kilometers.
It is better to perform a visual inspection to decide on a replacement. In order not to forget about replacing the filter element, experts recommend changing it along with the replacement engine oil. This routine procedure is performed after 15 thousand kilometers.
Replacement procedure on an 8-valve engine
There are two types of air filters used on Lada Largus. On models manufactured before 2012, the filter was installed "round". It was placed in a box with a lid, which was fixed with latches.
The replacement procedure is as follows:
- We unhook four clamps around the perimeter.
- Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew all the screws.
- We dismantle the cover under which the filter element is located.
- We pull out the old filter material. Inside the box, we close the hole in the throttle assembly with a rag and clean it from dust and debris inside with a clean rag or blow it with air under pressure.
- We insert a new consumable.
- We return the cover to its original place. We fix it with latches. We screw in the screws.
Replacing the air filter on the 8th Lada Largus.
On Largus, released after 2012, under the hood there will be an air filter with a ribbed cover surface. The lid has no inscriptions.
We perform step by step actions:
- We find the cover fastenings: two front screws and two self-tapping screws. With the key on “8”, we unscrew the screws, the self-tapping screws are unscrewed with a Torx T20 screwdriver.
- From below, the filter housing is fixed by two plastic latches in the form of a tongue. We bend them from below and remove the box, bringing it to ourselves.
- The filter element holds nothing.
- We take out the old rectangular consumable, clean the seat from dirt.
- Insert a new filter element.
- We return the air filter to its place, snap the tabs and screw the fasteners.
Replacement procedure on a 16-valve engine
We carry out work according to the following algorithm:
- We remove the rubber clamp from the formation protrusion that holds the air path resonator.
- We disconnect the air duct from the air filter and take it to the side so that it does not interfere.
- Remove the intake silencer.
- We turn off the VUT tube. She is marked in the photo.
- Next, using the hexagon on the "25" unscrew the two fixing screws.
- We dismantle the filter. Remove the dirty filter element. We clean the box inside from debris, wipe it with a clean cloth from dust and insert a new filter.
- We carry out the further steps in the reverse order: we fix the body with screws, install the muffler, attach the pipes and connect the VUT pipe.
Replacing the air filter with Lada Largus 16 valves.
On the K4M engine with 16 valves, instead of the filter element of the standard air filter, you can install a zero filter. Such filters can be reusable.
reusable, you need to regularly clean and wash the filter cloth and impregnate it special composition. True, the cost of impregnation is quite high.
There is another alternative option - to install a chandelier filter. There are two installation methods:
- Completely dismantle the intake silencer (2) and connect a chandelier instead.
- Do not touch the muffler, install the filter chandelier instead of the air duct (1).
The figure shows schematically the details of the assembly.
Results:
- In the first variant, an increase in torque is noticeable over the entire frequency range, although it is insignificant;
- The muffler is harmful in that there will be no gain at low frequencies. Otherwise, he does not interfere.
Replacing the air filter will not cause any difficulties either on the 8 or on the 16-valve Largus engine. If you monitor the condition of the filter element and change it in time, this will enable the engine to work at full strength.
If the timing does not contain 16 valves, but 8, replacing the air filter on the Lada Largus looks trite. It will be enough to unscrew a few bolts and screws, and then the plastic cover is removed - the filter element can be changed immediately. You don't even need to disconnect the battery! The problem is that the 8-valve Renault in question came in two different versions. For each of them, the instruction will be “own”.
We change the air filter in the "new" version of Lada Largus
Let's say the car was produced after 2012. Under the hood there should be a plastic cover with ribs. There are no inscriptions on the lid.
Air filter housing (2013-2016)
Find four fasteners: two self-tapping screws on top (Torx T20), two screws on the front (key “8”). To unscrew the screws you need a "round" wrench.
Two plastic tabs hold the filter housing from below. Feel them with your hand.
Dismantling procedure:
Installation is carried out in the reverse order: they “snap” the case, screw the screws, etc.
The rectangular filter element allows two mounting options. None of them will be wrong.
Replacing the air filter on Lada Largus new version- the task is very simple. And such a replacement must be carried out every 15 thousand km. This is a regulation.
How to change the air filter on a car of the first years of production
If the van or station wagon was made before 2013, most likely the filter will be "round". The filter element itself is closed on top with a lid, which is fixed with latches.
Air filter housing in the "old" version
Having unfastened all the latches, it will not be possible to remove the cover.It will be necessary to unscrew 5 screws.
Procedure:
As you can see, the filter element allows two installation options. And both will be correct!
Installing a "round" filter
When replacing the air filter with a Lada Largus or a Renault Logan, it is impossible to make a mistake.
An error from the category "filter installed upside down" refers to cabin filters, and only to them.
As for the replacement period, it is equal to 15 thousand km, regardless of the engine version. This interval is sometimes halved.
Filter Items
The rectangular filter is marked with one article - 165469466R. There will be more articles for the rim filter: 7701070525, 7701047655, 7701069365.

As for air filters, when choosing them, you need to know the following:
- The products of HENGST and MANN Filter perform best, followed by the brands BOSCH, BIG, MAHLE and KNECHT;
- The lowest quality will be for SCT, FRAM and CHAMPION filters;
- Everything else is somewhere in between.
Products of two domestic brands- an option for a "budget replacement", no more. But such a replacement looks better than the options from point 2.
Video example: how to replace the filter on a "new" engine
Filters, which are completed with 8 cells. and 16-cl. Largus motors differ from each other in appearance.
Air filter on 8-valve Largus
At the factory, an original renault filter with catalog number 165469466R. Country of manufacture - Romania. The filter element has a rectangular shape. There is definitely felt on the back side.
Air filter on a 16-valve Largus
But on the 16-valve there is a filter with a number 8200431051 . It has an irregular external shape. The length of the filter is 175 mm, the width of the larger/smaller sides is 136/100 mm, respectively. There is also felt on the back side.
Replacing the filter on 8-cl Largus
The process of replacing the filter is quite simple and will take you no more than 10 minutes. We briefly describe the main steps.
First you need to disassemble the air filter housing, which consists of two parts.
To do this, you need to disconnect the two latches from the bottom of the case. Left and right.
Unscrew the two screws on the top of the case. You will need a 25mm Torx screwdriver.
Disconnect the housing and remove the old air filter.
Carefully install the new filter into the grooves of the housing in the same position as the old one - with the marking up.
Tighten the screws and fasten the fasteners.
How not to buy a fake
Due to the fact that fakes are very common in the auto parts market, here are a few simple tips to help you buy the original filter:
- Buy only from trusted stores
- The product must be in original, not torn and tight plastic packaging
- The presence of a hologram on the sticker
- If possible, check on site, comparing with the original installed in the machine at the factory
- On the filter itself, the manufacturer and original number in two lines
- Necessarily must be felt. If instead of felt there is a black sponge, most likely it is a fake!

That's all. All profitable and useful purchases!
According to technical regulations maintenance of the Lada Largus car, the engine air filter must be changed every 15 thousand kilometers for 16 valve engine K4M and every 20 thousand km. mileage for the 8-valve K7M engine. If the car is operated in difficult climatic conditions or on dusty dirt roads, then the replacement period is recommended to be halved.
Replacing the air cleaning element with a sixteen-valve motor and an eight-valve motor is slightly different. The filters are different in design, but the replacement procedure is the same. Due to the simple design of the filter housing and the accessible location, you can replace it yourself. To change it, you do not need any special knowledge, and you do not need to dismantle any additional systems and components. To work, you need a standard set of car enthusiast tools and a set of TORX keys.
