Maintenance of Lada Granta 8 valve

Features of maintenance

Based on the official maintenance regulations for Lada Granta cars, the owner can change the necessary components in a timely manner, keep the car in good condition and avoid sudden serious breakdowns, the elimination of which is sometimes very expensive.

An important role is played by the fact whether you have a 16- or 8-valve engine under the hood.

There is a basic list of what should be included in the set of mandatory measures as part of the first and all subsequent technical services of the Lada Granta.

Among the mandatory control and inspection work are the following:

check the brake fluid level;
the activation of the signal about the low level of this liquid is checked;
the condition of the hoses and pipes of the braking system is assessed;
the paintwork is checked;
possible noises are heard in the clutch, gearbox, engine, steering wheel, and wheels;
the accuracy of operation of all gears is determined;
the condition of the handbrake is assessed.

Among the preventive work that is relevant for each maintenance for the Lada Granta, the following activities are carried out:

the tightening torque of fasteners on the engine and chassis is checked;
changing engine oil;
a new oil filter is installed;
the timing belt is checked;
check the condition of the bolted connections on the air conditioner.

Work is also carried out within the framework of diagnostics and adjustment.

Here we are talking about checking and adjusting the following components and systems:

steering angle on the front wheels;
brake light switch;
VUT;
brake force distributor;
handbrake;
brake system;
headlights;
dimensions;
turn signals;
exhaust gas emission level;
ECU;
errors in the on-board computer;
power steering.

If any malfunctions are found, they will need to be corrected. To the disappointment of motorists, they will have to pay for this separately, on top of the cost of the maintenance itself.

Maintenance frequency

Motorists should also be aware of the maintenance schedule for the Lada Grant, since it is during these periods of time, according to the automaker, that the service life of some consumables begins. Plus, it is necessary to adjust some systems, correct components, check the serviceability of mechanisms, etc.

For Lada Granta cars, the frequency of maintenance is determined by the mileage or age of the vehicle. This allows you to divide the procedure into several main maintenance procedures. Usually the frequency of maintenance is indicated from the zero (first) to the eighth (seventh) maintenance.

The current frequency specified in the AvtoVAZ company regulations in relation to Lada Granta models is as follows:

2000-3000 km;
14500-15000 km or 1 year of operation;
29500-30500 or 2 years;
44500-45500 or 3 years;
59500-60500 or 4 years;
74500-75500 or 5 years;
89500-90500 or 6 years;
104500-105500 or 7 years.

The frequency of maintenance for 8 procedures for visiting certified service centers is accordingly prescribed here.

Required spare parts

When maintenance is carried out on Lada Granta cars from a domestic manufacturer, certain elements are replaced, which is prescribed in the regulations.

Based on the technical regulations, the following mandatory parts and consumables are identified that must be replaced at certain intervals:

The air filter is changed at 30, 60 and 90 thousand kilometers.
The cabin filter needs to be changed every 15 thousand, that is, within the framework of TO1, TO2, etc.
Engine oil, like the oil filter, is changed every maintenance, starting with the so-called zero. Although there are some nuances here. Not all versions of the Lada Granta must undergo zero maintenance.
The brake fluid is changed for the first time after 45 thousand km, and then at 90 thousand kilometers.
Spark plugs are changed after one maintenance, that is, at a mileage of 30, 60, 90 thousand km.
According to the regulations, the timing belt will have to be changed for the first time at 75 thousand km.
Drive belts must be replaced at 30, 60 and 90 thousand.
The oil in a manual transmission lasts up to 90 thousand km.
The fuel filter is changed in the same way as the drive belt and spark plugs.
The lambda probe or oxygen sensor needs to be changed for the first time after a mileage of 75,000 km.

Timely maintenance is a guarantee of long-term and safe use of the car

The benefits are obvious to me personally

Firstly, no one is immune from manufacturing defects (even if it’s a cool foreign car, the human factor is always present), if it’s not a significant breakdown (as they say), then God bless it, but if it’s a serious breakdown of the chassis or engine, then it’s not very good anymore. You can detect this breakdown at an early stage.

Secondly, you will have all the vehicle's fluids checked. That is, it is possible to identify a problem with hidden defects, for example, the gasket between the “head” and the block itself is faulty, then the liquid will go either into the cylinders or into the manifold.

Maintenance schedule and work performed

Having studied the basic information about maintenance for cars of the Lada Granta line, it is worth taking a separate look at when the first maintenance of the car is carried out, how the 8-valve version differs from the 16-valve version, and what list of works is relevant for this or that maintenance.

Zero maintenance

Although this is considered the first maintenance, in fact it is zero, since it is not relevant for all versions of the Lada Grant.

The so-called TO-0 has its own characteristics, provided for by the instructions of the domestic automaker dated March 20, 2013.

According to this directive, for 8-valve engines installed on Lada Granta, only valve adjustment is required as part of zero maintenance. This is done in the period from 2 to 3 thousand kilometers.

If there is a 16-valve engine under the hood, TO-0 is not required, nor is it necessary to make any entries in the service book.

Therefore, it is often important to study the list of necessary work on Lada Granta cars within the framework of 1, 2, 3 and all subsequent regulated maintenance. By following the established schedule and completing the required list of work, it is possible to maintain the machine in optimal technical condition.

It is carried out one year from the start of operation, or after 15 thousand kilometers.

This includes the following checks and work:

a complete list of work prescribed for all maintenance;
replacing the cabin filter;
checking belt tension and adjusting valves (for 8-valve versions);
cooling system and antifreeze level;
electrical equipment;
gearbox oil level and signs of leaks;
suspension;
steering mechanisms;
electrolyte in the battery;
brake pads, cylinders and boots;
clearances on the steering rack;
steering rack play;
air conditioner.

All work, except the first 3 points, belongs to the category of additional.

Valid after 2 years or after 30 thousand km.

Mandatory work includes:

all activities for TO-1;
changing the air filter;
fuel filter;
alternator belt;
spark plugs.

Additionally, you need to check the brake pads and the condition of the brake assembly.

Required after a mileage of 45 thousand kilometers or after 3 years from the start of operation of the vehicle.

It is necessary to perform the following work:

operations within all maintenance;
replace the cabin filter;
fill in new brake fluid;
adjust the valve clearances and check the tension of the alternator belt (8-valve engines);
change the coolant.

Additional checks include the work prescribed in TO-1.

As part of the 4th scheduled maintenance, the list of work is similar to that carried out at TO-2. The exception is replacing spark plugs.

It is carried out when the mileage reaches 60,000 km.

Valid for 75,000 km. mileage or 5 years from the start of operation of the Lada Granta.

As part of this service you will need:

perform work and inspection in accordance with TO-3;
change antifreeze (coolant);
install a new oxygen sensor;
pour new oil into the manual box;
change the timing belt if it is an 8-valve internal combustion engine.

As you can see, the work is repeated periodically, and the routine procedures do not differ much from previous maintenance.

This is already an impressive 90 thousand kilometers. However, within the framework of this maintenance, the same operations are carried out as in the case of TO-2. But you will also need to replace the brake fluid.

As part of the conditionally final maintenance at around 105 thousand kilometers, the work is similar to that performed at maintenance-1.

How long does it take to adjust valves on an 8 valve grant?

Can you tell me what gaps there should be?

Intake valves 0.20mm

Exhaust valves 0.35mm

I bought washers for the man and in the conversation it turned out that he selected all the washers for release so that it became 0.30mm. Is this very critical? He says it will be better. Below are photos of his calculations and a list of the necessary washers. I work in an Automotive Shop at a service station, this is our repairman at our repair shop.

Hi Andrey! We did my car. The engine has a heavy ShPG. That's why I asked. For myself and my car.

Can you tell me how much air consumption is for a stock viburnum with a heavy ShPG at 5000-6000 rpm in 2nd and 3rd gears? Or, in general, what is the maximum air consumption when accelerating to the floor?

The engine runs quieter, the torque level has become more even, before the car didn’t move much before 3000, after 3000 it was like a kick. The 10.42 full-base shaft is worth it. Well, there are many more improvements.

Another mechanic from our service station at the store says that after 1000 km you need to remove the valve cover and measure the gaps again. He does it for free, I only get washers. There’s no point in him deceiving me, I get him clients from my old job (at my old job they closed the auto shop after going bankrupt , and I was fired)

Briefly about my Kalina:

approximate cost

It is impossible to name the exact cost of maintenance, since everything depends on the specific situation and the list of work performed, in addition to the regulated ones. And they will definitely be there.

According to the official AvtoVAZ website, the approximate prices are as follows:

For TO-0 1600 rubles for an 8-valve internal combustion engine. Other versions of TO-0 do not pass;
TO-1 will cost 5-6.5 thousand rubles;
TO-2 costs about 6-7.2 thousand rubles;
TO-3 from 5 to 6.5 thousand rubles;
TO-4 from 6 to 7.3 thousand;
TO-5 about 5-6.5 thousand;
TO-6 will cost 11.5-12.5 thousand rubles.

The exact cost can be found out after the diagnosis. The craftsmen will draw up a list of necessary work.

Compared to many other cars, maintenance for the Lada Granta is cheap. But even for such a car you have to pay money if the owner is interested in maintaining its technical condition at the proper level.

lada granta

Maintenance in compliance with the regulations established by the car manufacturer is the key to long-term trouble-free service of your car. Many of us completely entrust this work to a car service center, where the cost of some simple operations can significantly exceed the cost of the parts being replaced. Meanwhile, many car maintenance jobs are technically simple and do not require much physical strength.

For the Lada Granta, the manufacturer has adopted the maintenance frequency as a multiple of 15 thousand kilometers. For carrying out the set of works prescribed by the regulations to replace consumables and check the systems, components and assemblies of the car at the service station, they can issue an invoice in the amount of up to 7,400 rubles . And this does not take into account the cost of the consumables themselves!

We do not suggest that you become repair specialists, the kind of “jack-of-all-trades” that every yard or every garage cooperative was once famous for. We are simply suggesting that you save time and money.
