Let's talk about what technical malfunctions can occur with the Lada Vesta during operation. Let's look at 15 faults that are factory faults. They can be repaired under warranty from an authorized dealer. Many of the faults under consideration are less common on new series than on early-release cars. This is natural, since the first batches of cars are always raw. They have a higher percentage of factory defects than the same model several years later. AvtoVAZ is working on bugs, improving the quality of components and the cars themselves.
Front suspension creaking
This is the most common known defect that almost all Lada Vesta owners have encountered. It manifests itself when driving over uneven roads or speed bumps. The stabilizer bushings are to blame.
Now this problem is gone, as it is completely resolved. New type stabilizers with vulcanized bushings are installed.
Engine mount knocking
The third malfunction that may make itself felt is the right engine mount. It may knock or squeak when moving. What could be wrong with her? When moving, the support dampens transverse vibrations transmitted to it from the engine. The central part has a degree of mobility.
The gap between the side walls and the central part should not exceed 2 mm. Otherwise, extraneous sound will be heard. At the first appearance of knocking, lubrication of the side walls of the support helps.
Oil getting into spark plug wells
As a result of work on the shortcomings, the VAZ 16-valve engine was made reliable. Now he doesn't cause any serious trouble. A plugless piston is installed, you can forget about the consequences of a broken timing belt.
But there was one fault remaining in the cylinder head. Owners periodically encounter it.
The head consists of 3 parts:
- Valve lid.
- Camshaft bearing housing.
- Main building.
All parts are joined together using sealant. Over time, the sealing layer is washed out, and oil begins to flow into the spark plug wells. This can be seen when replacing spark plugs if you remove the individual ignition coils. The problem is solved by disassembling the head and applying a new layer of sealant.
Hoses are cracking
The VAZ 127 engine differs from the 126 in another intake module. The new receiver has an additional volume of air and a pneumatic throttle valve, which changes the length of the intake. Increases engine torque at high speeds. This pneumatic system has hoses that, due to their composite composition, become cracked over time.
A characteristic whistle begins to appear in the engine compartment. At the moment, the problem has been solved by installing better hoses.
Decoding Lada Vesta error codes
When performing self-diagnosis of the instrument panel, fault codes appear on the BC display. The factory table and diagram for the device have only digital symbols. The serial numbers of errors are displayed here.
When diagnosing a car using third-party equipment, five-digit codes will be displayed on the scanner display. Its decoding looks something like this.
- The first letter indicates the area of the equipment where the breakdown is located.
- The second part indicates the factory markings.
- Next comes the fault circuit indicator.
- The last two digits show the error itself.

A breakdown indicates a malfunction of the suspension.
Lada Vesta: ESP error
The ESP module is not working correctly. The system requires careful diagnostics and maintenance.
Engine error on Vesta
In cold weather or extreme heat, the vehicle's diagnostic system may display a number of errors. They are connected to the cooling or lubrication system of the power plant in the form of a gear or a corresponding lamp on the dashboard.
Troubles may be caused by other systems. If a defect occurs, contact a service station.
ABS error
Most module failures are associated with malfunctioning wheel sensors and their wiring. Sensors are located in dangerous places and are subject to constant contamination and mechanical damage, which affects their service life.
ECU errors
If damage occurs on the screen, you should immediately seek help from specialists. This is where the module's wiring or internal parts may be damaged.
Oxygen sensor error
When there are lambda breakdowns, the essence is often hidden in a malfunction of the catalyst or fuel mixture former. Problems are often found in the wiring of the sensors and their operating area.
Vesta airbag error
When the light comes on, check the corresponding fuse, squib wiring and related relays.
Transmission error
The module transmits faults to the display of the diagnostic equipment using a five-digit index with the first letter U. If the TB is damaged, the car may move jerkily, lose gears or lose dynamics.
AMT clutch slip error
The indication of this phenomenon works similarly. The cause is a breakdown of the sensor or wear of the friction element.
Knock sensor error
The DD of the car is located in a place especially susceptible to physical influences and vibration. For this reason, the sensor often fails or is damaged. If a knock sensor error occurs, diagnose it. If a damage to the sensor is detected, the entire sensor must be replaced.
Vesta robot error
The manual transmission control module works in a similar way and car breakdowns are detected in the same way. The system is sensitive to mechanical influences and has several capricious sensors. If such problems occur, it is not recommended to fix the problem yourself.
Transmission error
The most common transmission failure is code P080a, indicating that the vehicle requires inspection and maintenance of the system.
Oil pressure sensor malfunction
The most common cause of a breakdown is a lack of fluid in the crankcase of the power plant. After adding oil the problem goes away. If the system does not update and the code is displayed again, check the sensor and lubrication system.
Catalyst malfunction
If a breakdown of the catalytic converter is determined, the entire module is replaced or the configuration of the exhaust system is seriously changed. If replacement is not possible, the catalyst is cut out and a special sleeve or pipe section is installed in its place. It is necessary to reflash the BC and lower the system level according to the EURO standard.
Throttle valve malfunction
They consist of contamination of the drive or internal channels of the module. After cleaning the system, the errors disappear.
Incorrect temperature readings
You start the engine and start moving. After a couple of minutes, you notice that the antifreeze temperature gauge needle is already starting to enter the red zone. Although a little time passed, and the engine had to warm up only to operating temperature.
The cause of the malfunction is the water pump, namely its impeller, which is destroyed. Due to the lack of coolant circulation, rapid heating occurs. As a result, the system overheats. In recent releases of the Lada Vesta car this happens rarely, but still occurs.
Disadvantages of the interior
The new Lada Vesta at first does not raise any questions about the interior, but over time some assembly problems may appear. Most often, these are crickets and creaking parts - a clear sign that the manufacturer has saved on seals. The steering wheel cover also leaves much to be desired - the paint wears off very quickly.
The disadvantages of the Lada Vesta's interior are complemented by the low quality of plastic: the parts are hard and look cheap. Although the owners say that such material is more convenient to wipe off dust.
Putting aside complaints about materials, you need to pay attention to the weak points of the dashboard: poor data readability, some additional indicators are too small, and the view of the upper part of the instruments is partially obscured by the edge of the “well” and the steering wheel.
Dashboard
But the comfort of the Lada Vesta can be classified more as an “advantage”, but this is if you close your eyes to the awkward driver’s armrest and the lack of it for the front passenger.
Unreliable outdoor antenna
Vesta is equipped with 2 types of antennas for the standard multimedia system:
- Regular.
- In the form of a shark fin (on the “cross” and “sport” versions).
The first type is characterized by a defect - during operation, the body disassembles itself. The upper part flies off while moving. On the latest releases, only fin antennas are installed.
Renault-Nissan HR16DE-H4M
The production of this power unit began in 2006. In general, the engine, which still remains the most powerful in the Vesta line (the output of the 1.8-liter unit is questionable), is considered very reliable and is capable of driving about 250,000 km to the capital.
The Renault-Nissan HR16DE-H4M engine is the most powerful in the Vesta line.
Focused on AI-95, but easily “digests” the 92nd. In addition, its timing system uses a chain that is reliable, so Vesta owners should not worry about its stretching too early.
The timing chain in the Renault-Nissan HR16DE-H4M engine is more reliable than the belt.
Transmission noise
A noise is heard from the gearbox, a small knock that disappears when you press the clutch pedal.
There are 2 misconceptions:
- The release bearing hummed. But it shows itself only at the moment the pedal is pressed, when the load on the clutch bearings begins.
- The input shaft bearing is humming. This is also incorrect, since SKF bearings have been installed on VAZ boxes for many years. There is practically no marriage on them.
In fact, the culprit of the knock is the clutch driven disc, namely its central bushing.
It has play in the seat. During torsional vibrations at idle, a fractional knock appears. The problem is solved by installing new clutch discs.
But you are probably more interested in something else - how does the most beautiful version of Cross drive?
Already in the base there are 17-inch wheels, large by the standards of the class, 203 mm ground clearance and other springs and shock absorbers. You could have waited for anything, but the people from AvtoVAZ took the medical “do no harm” as a basis and did everything to ensure that the driving character of the Vesta did not deteriorate. And they succeeded in this!
The approach angle of the Lada Vesta SW Cross is 18.1 degrees, and the departure angle is 17.7 degrees.
Moreover, the Lada Vesta SW Cross feels even more lively and interesting than the base sedan! Feedback on the steering wheel is more transparent, the chassis is still tenacious and collected, and the suspension, despite the additional load in the form of 17-inch wheels, still perfectly handles bumps and road surface defects of almost any scale.
These beautiful two-color discs covered joints of concrete slabs, giant asphalt patches, gravel, large stones with sharp edges, and sewer manholes. And nothing! On small things, peace and comfort reign in the car, and on more serious defects, the body may shudder, but without hard impacts, unnecessary noise and frightening consequences.
Of course, Vesta SW Cross is not a car without flaws. The 1.8 engine is still just as sluggish, and the hard plastic on the door armrests will still rub the elbows resting on them. But “Cross” masterfully knows how to hide all this behind an excellent design, high ground clearance, which some crossovers would envy, and an excellent chassis. And in Russia, as a rule, they ask for something like a million or more.
But rules are meant to be broken, right? Therefore, prices for a regular station wagon start at a reasonable 639,900 rubles for a car with a 106-horsepower 1.6 and a manual transmission. For 25,000 rubles on top, the car will be equipped with a robot. A modification with a 1.8 engine costs at least 697,900 rubles, and with a 1.8 and two pedals – from 722,900 rubles.
The cross version is naturally more expensive. For the minimum configuration they will charge 755,900 rubles. It will be a car with 1.6 and mechanics, but with front and side airbags, an alarm system, an on-board computer, remote control central locking, electric windows all around, climate control, heated front seats, light and rain sensors, electric drive and heated mirrors, cruise -control and 17-inch wheels.
The most expensive Lada Vesta SW Cross costs 847,900 rubles. That is, AvtoVAZ made a B-segment car, which even at the top did not reach 900,000 rubles. In our time this is an achievement.
The interior architecture of Vesta SW and SW Cross is the same as that of the sedan. But there are new decorative inserts (on the Cross version), which look much better and more organic than those of the sedan
There are orange accents on the dashboard as well. It has become brighter, but I still want the shield to be simpler. Too many unnecessary design elements
Bright interior trim is available only in the Cross version. But if someone wants a station wagon with a higher ground clearance, but with a slightly less cheerful interior, then they will be offered gray upholstery
Turn signals fog up
The malfunction is typical for the first editions of the Lada Vesta. Today such a defect is rare. We are talking about turn signal indicators built into the exterior rear view mirrors. It happens that a lot of moisture and condensation accumulates inside the repeater housing. This indicates insufficient sealing of the housing.
Previously, the mirror assembly was replaced under warranty, but now a new turn signal is installed separately.

Problems with the Lada Vesta robot
As for the transmission, the most problematic and at the same time discussed component of the sedan was the robotic gearbox. Mechanical enthusiasts haven’t even considered the version of the car with a “robot,” but fans of automatic transmissions have already managed to actually try out the innovative unit. The disadvantages and disadvantages of the Lada Vesta are twitching, long gear shifts and incomprehensible algorithms for the operation of the gearbox. By the way, ordinary car enthusiasts, along with critics, disliked AMT from the very first days. This gearbox requires a special approach and care. In addition, it takes time to adjust and get a feel for the “robot”, and to adapt your driving style to it. However, many AMT errors can be eliminated by “reflashing” them from the officials.

The well-known manual transmission made it clear from the first days that it retained the title of the most reliable, stable type of gearbox. Only a few reviews from car owners indicate early mechanical failure: the bearings can “howl” and the first three gears begin to engage with difficulty. Usually the first serious difficulties appeared after 20-25 thousand kilometers.
