Lada Vesta is the first one. How much does it cost and how did you do it?

When operating your vehicle, whether it's a car or a truck, whether it's new or a used model, be prepared to undergo regular maintenance. In addition, it is the responsibility of the motorist to complete the vehicle maintenance procedure, otherwise the vehicle will be void of warranty. For older models, the maintenance procedure is also necessary, because it guarantees your safety and the longevity of the vehicle.

What kind of work does TO-1 Lada Vesta include?

Oil change First of all, the engine oil, oil filter and cabin heater filter are replaced.
If necessary, add working fluids and change the front brake pads. The cost of spare parts, working fluids and work on their replacement (refueling) is paid additionally.

TO-1 Lada Vesta and the list of works imply diagnostics of the following parts:

• suspension;
• steering;
• brake system;
• gearbox operation;
• operation of electrical equipment, including assessment of the condition of wiring (reliability of clamps and connections);
• integrity of hoses and pipelines, as well as their connections;
• fastening the chassis to the body;
• condition of disks, tires and their pressure;
• checking for extraneous noise and knocking in the engine, components and transmission;
• accumulator battery;
• body surface for cracks and corrosion;
• locks.

The service must eliminate any detected faults, and the car owner can receive recommendations for servicing the car. The maintenance regulations also provide for cleaning the drainage holes of thresholds and doors.

Frequency of maintenance of used VAZ cars

Maintenance deadlines for new cars and old ones are different. For old maintenance, it should be carried out as follows:

By seasons of the year:

• The cabin air filter is being replaced. Thus, in large cities, the cabin filter of a passenger car must be replaced twice a year: in spring and autumn.

After 15 thousand kilometers of motor rally:

• Changing engine oil;
• Changing the oil filter;
• Changing spark plugs;
• Changing the cabin filter;

After 60 thousand kilometers:

• Changing the cooling system fluid (antifreeze);
• Changing gearbox oil. Note the exception: changing the oil in extremely old cars may well be harmful.

• play in the lower ball joints;
• rubbing of the cooling system pipes;
• failure of the heated windshield;
• knocking of rear stabilizer struts;
• problems with the multimedia system;

You may well demand that special attention be paid to checking for the presence of these problems or the prerequisites for their occurrence.

Timely maintenance and the use of high-quality consumables significantly reduce the risk of machine breakdown.

Timing and list of maintenance works for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Lada Vesta

AvtoVAZ provides a guarantee for products provided that drivers comply with maintenance deadlines. That is why the owners of the flagships of the Russian automobile industry - LADA Vesta and LADA Granta - are interested in the regulations for warranty maintenance, the list of works, and the price list.

Regulations of the Lada Vesta service center: features

Considering that cars cover a different number of kilometers per year, AvtoVAZ has determined the following service periods.

• after 15,000 km on the speedometer;
• 1 year after the last service.

You need to focus on the event that will happen faster.

What is “zero” maintenance and why undergo it?

In the recent past, “zero” maintenance was done immediately after running-in: AvtoVAZ determined the mileage to be no more than 3,000 km. In 2013, the plant retained the obligation to perform zero maintenance only for the Lada Kalina, Granta, Priora and all-wheel drive vehicles.

“Vesta” is not included in the list of “zero” vehicles, which means that it will have its first mandatory inspection after 15,000 km on the speedometer or after 12 months of operation (which happens faster).

However, some car owners would like to undergo diagnostics at a dealer and change the engine oil immediately after break-in, and not after a year. The “officials” do not object, but issue the owner of the car an invoice for the activities carried out.

What can you expect for your money at 0-TO:

• dealers change oil and filter;
• check the sound of the engine and gearbox in motion.
• look for leaks of technical fluids in seals, gaskets, connections;
• diagnose the suspension;
• regulate wheel alignment, handbrake and brake operation;
• tighten belts and fasteners;
• check the optics.

As a rule, dealership specialists detect manufacturing defects and fix them free of charge at this stage, making a corresponding note in the documents for the car.

There is no fixed price for optional “zero” maintenance. The approximate price tag is as follows:

• Oil change with filter – 1 thousand rubles.
• Chassis diagnostics – RUB 1,500.
• Consumables – 1500 rub.

The list of works performed by dealers does not change during subsequent inspections.

“Zero” maintenance yourself

Wanting to save money, many drivers change the oil themselves after break-in. A rash decision: a “zero-TO” may reveal a manufacturing defect, which would be fixed free of charge by official dealers. In case of unauthorized intervention in the design of the car, the owner of such a privilege is deprived.

Maintenance performed after break-in is not documented, since it is not provided for by the manufacturer’s regulations.

Maintenance terms

Before the warranty expires, the Lada Vesta must undergo technical inspection 6 times with an entry in the service book.

The basis for determining maintenance dates is mileage and calendar:

This is a summary of information placed in a table.

Without a mark on passing the technical inspection within the specified time frame, the Lada Vesta will be removed from the warranty.

List of works for maintenance 1 “Lada Vesta”

The following systems and mechanisms are subject to diagnostics:

• timing belt;
• cooling system;
• fuel pipes;
• muffler;
• steering;
• brake pads;
• seals and fasteners;
• Gearbox and suspension;
• transmission oil level;
• electrical equipment;
• generator and battery;
• door locks.

All work in the service is done free of charge, but you need to buy consumables from dealers or buy consumables yourself. Important condition: the article numbers of spare parts and operating fluids must correspond to the standard ones.

TO 2

Added to the TO-1 list:

• wheel balancing;
• replacing the air filter;
• battery maintenance;
• lubrication of rubbing parts.

The work done is reflected in the service book. The condition for choosing consumables remains: if they are not consistent with those recommended by AvtoVAZ, the car will be deprived of warranty benefits.

TO 3

The list of works for the third technical inspection (44,500-45,500 km) includes replacing the brake fluid and servicing the Vesta hood lock cable. The remaining activities correspond to TO-1.

TO 4

The list of procedures completely coincides with the first technical inspection, the price tag remains virtually unchanged.

TO 5

At this point, the car has covered 74,500-75,500 km on the speedometer, so diagnostics and repairs coincide with TO-2. Plus - replacing the transmission fluid in the gearbox.

TO 6

The latest technical inspection at official dealers takes place according to maintenance schedule numbers 1 and 2. Only the replacement of the coolant and maintenance of the air conditioner belt drive with the replacement of the tensioner roller are added.

Having completed a “circle” (100 thousand km), the Lada Vesta loses the right to warranty service. At the same time, you can continue to cooperate with the dealer, but at your own expense.

What problems are most often identified on the Lada Vesta?

The owners consider Vesta’s weak points:

• pipes in the cooling system;
• electric heated windshield;
• fragility of glazing;
• multimedia;
• unreliable ball joints and rear stabilizers;
• exhaust tract casing;
• LCP - paint fades.

Many of the listed shortcomings are also inherent in the Lada Granta, which entails a series of malfunctions, and therefore repairs. Report any defects you notice yourself to the service specialists.

Maintenance cost for Lada Vesta in 2022

The price for routine maintenance depends on the Vesta body and configuration and may differ in different regions.

Vesta 2020 maintenance cost table (in rubles):

The price is relevant in the city of Moscow and the region.

What does TO-2 and subsequent maintenance include?

The next maintenance should be carried out every 15,000 km or a year after the previous maintenance - whichever comes first. Thus, TO-2 is 30,000 km or 2 years of driving, TO-3 is 45,000 km or 3 years of driving, etc.

The second maintenance of Lada Vesta, in addition to all routine maintenance of TO-1, includes the following procedures:

• replacing the air filter and spark plugs;
• lubrication of door hinges, rubbing areas of door opening limiters, hinges and springs of the fuel tank hatch, door keyholes and trunk lid;
• cleaning and lubricating battery terminals and clamps.

Types of maintenance

Do not forget to conduct a light inspection of your iron horse on the eve of each departure, i.e. visually assess its complete serviceability.

Thus, the car enthusiast will have to check:

• Tire pressure;
• Serviceability of the lighting system, turn signals;
• Serviceability of the sound signal;
• Engine oil;
• Coolant;
• Brake fluid;
• Hydraulic booster fluid (if equipped);
• Fluid in the windshield washer reservoir.

Monitoring the above listed elements is mandatory to maintain the functionality of the main vehicle systems and preserve your health and life on the road. Be sure to evaluate all of the above systems, especially when traveling long distances.

Other maintenance of vehicle technical systems must be carried out by specialists with a certain level of qualifications on the basis of equipped dealership and automotive services. The necessary standards and scope of maintenance work, as well as mileage for each car model are established by the car plant independently. Maintenance services are as follows:

TO "0" . This type of maintenance is called “break-in” or “zero” maintenance. Mandatory to carry out after the initial mileage of the car is 1 or 1.5 thousand kilometers. During such maintenance, the engine oil and the oil filter must be replaced.

Maintenance No. 1. Mandatory after 15 thousand kilometers, or after one year. Usually depends on whichever comes first. And it doesn’t matter at all whether you were traveling at that time or not.

Maintenance No. 2 must be completed every 15 thousand kilometers / one year from the date of previous maintenance. Depends on what comes sooner.

Maintenance No. 3 must be completed every 15 thousand kilometers / one year from the date of previous maintenance (whichever comes sooner).

Maintenance No. 4 must be completed every 15 thousand kilometers / one year from the date of previous maintenance (whichever comes sooner).

And so on…

What is “zero maintenance”

Zero maintenance is a type of maintenance that is carried out after 2500-3000 km. For some cars of the Lada TO-0 line, this is a mandatory measure, but Vesta is not included in their list. However, for her such a check would be quite appropriate.

TO-0 Lada Vesta usually includes:

• changing oil and filter;
• checking for extraneous noises and sounds;
• checking the smoothness of gear shifting;
• checking wheel alignment angles;
• checking the main systems;
• checking the operation of the headlights and adjusting them (if necessary).

The total cost including consumables can reach RUB 3,000. The car dealership should not make a note in the service book, because there is not even a column for this type of service.

Ways to save on maintenance

In order to maintain the manufacturer's warranty on the machine, you are required to come for maintenance to dealers authorized by the manufacturer. Under such conditions, the dealer often offers you to buy his own more expensive consumables. You are not encouraged to carry out maintenance with your own supplies, and many simply do not know about this option.

We offer you to save up to 3 thousand rubles by purchasing consumables yourself. Please be aware that the operator of the technical center does not have the right to refuse to undergo technical maintenance with his own consumables.

To search and purchase consumables for technical maintenance, you can go to numerous specialized Internet portals. Here you can easily select the necessary parts for your vehicle model.
