Check the headlight settings, as well as the brightness of the headlights and the frequency of the turn signals;
Check the CO value;
Check the engine management system and recorded error codes;
Check the electromechanical power steering.

All faults found must be corrected (for an additional fee).

Why is the service better?

Of course, much of what concerns the first maintenance work can be done in your garage, but your car will receive truly high-quality service only in the service center, because that is where any necessary devices and tools are always available. It's hard to work without a ramp or lift. And if you rely only on your own garage, you can only make things worse for your new car.

In addition, when buying a car, you entered into an agreement with the dealer, and this is a document whose provisions you must strictly comply with. Even in a new car, something can break down, some kind of assembly defect can be discovered, which you cannot fix on your own. And so you dismantled half the car and went to the dealer, but the dealer cannot help because the car owner violated the terms. By performing preventive maintenance correctly and on time, you will have peace of mind when the warranty ends.

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.

List of works during the third maintenance (29500-30500 km or two years of operation)

Work and checks during maintenance 2 (except for adjusting valve clearances).
Replace the air filter. Number 21120-1109080-06, cost $3.39 - $3.42.
Replace the heater filter.
Replace the fuel filter. Code 21230-1117010-02, prices $4.65 - $6.31.
Replace the alternator belt, 11180-1041020-07, cost from $6.89.
Replace spark plugs. The eight-valve engine uses A17DVRM spark plugs at a price of $0.69 per piece, and the sixteen-valve engine uses AU17DVRM at a price of $3.13 - $4.23 per set (4 pieces).

Additional checks of the third maintenance

Check the condition of all brake pads and the integrity of the brake system.

The cost of work on all engines is $84.04.

Fourth scheduled vehicle maintenance

The fourth maintenance is the most important in the life of the car and the car owner. For those cars that are operated in difficult conditions, the gearbox oil is changed. At the same time, change the spark plugs. The filter device is replaced along with the oil.

The gearbox is completely inspected visually by mechanics. Usually at this time the valve body of the Lada Grant fails, so it is either repaired or a new one is installed if the car owner has an automatic transmission. All parts are removed from the box, thoroughly washed, replaced with new ones that have failed, and put back.

If in the second maintenance, the spark plugs were simply checked and one or two were replaced. Then, in the fourth maintenance, all spark plugs are completely changed.

Inspect the timing belt for chips and cracks. Experienced mechanics advise replacing it sooner if necessary rather than waiting until it breaks. Because along with a broken timing chain, the valves become bent. This is fraught with replacing the cylinder block, or installing a new engine on the Lada Granta. At the same time, the coolant is replaced. The high-voltage wires of an eight-valve engine are checked.

The fourth maintenance is carried out after a mileage of 60,000 kilometers.

List of works during the fourth maintenance (44500-45500 km or three years of operation)

Work and checks during all maintenance.
Replace the cabin filter.
Replace brake fluid. Super DOT-4 is used. From $4.54 for 1l. Required quantity 0.45 l.
For eight-valve engines, adjust the valve clearances and check the timing belt tension.
Coolant replacement (or three years, for “OZH-40 TOSOL-TS” - 2 years or 40,000 km). Price from $5.41 for 5 l. Required volume 7.84 l.

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.

What problems does Lada Granta have?

The Lada Granta car is recognized as reliable, unpretentious and perfectly adapted to Russian operating conditions. But, despite this, some of its owners encounter certain problems even during the period of the factory warranty. Typically, these include the following problems:

Broken timing belt at low mileage;
Failure of the ignition coil;
Thermostat failure;
Manual transmission howl;
Oil leakage through gearbox seals;
Damage to shock absorbers;
Malfunctions of ball joints;
Unreliable wheel bearings;
Formation of scratches on glass;
Low generator bearing life;
Chips and scratches on the paintwork.

Many of these deficiencies can often be corrected by the dealer under warranty if it is determined that they were not the owner's fault. In all other cases, repairs are possible only at your own expense. To prevent such problems, experts advise following the car manufacturer’s recommendations for car maintenance and operation, performing scheduled maintenance in a timely manner and contacting dealer service stations at the slightest sign of breakdown. This will help avoid problems during short mileage and costly major repairs in the future.

The official dealer of the brand in Moscow, the TECHINKOM car dealership, offers regular maintenance and repairs of any complexity for the Lada Granta at prices and technologies recommended by the manufacturers. You can make an appointment with us for diagnostics and maintenance or find out the cost of the work by calling the phone number indicated on the website. You can also leave a request for a call back on the website. Our employees will contact you as soon as possible!

How much does it cost and can you do it yourself?

The cost will always be different, of course depending on the brand, model and class. But this is approximately 60 - 70% of the cost of the first maintenance. Personally, for my KIA OPTIMA it’s about 4,500 rubles, for example, for a new Solaris it seems to be about 3,000 - 3,500 rubles. But on AUDI, an “intermediate” one will cost about 12,000 rubles. NOT CHEAP!

However, many people ask the question - why don’t I do it myself, say, in my garage with my own hands? What a great idea, however, you need to choose exactly the right filter and oil (don’t be deceived). Otherwise, if the dealer notices, you risk voiding your warranty! Which is simply not acceptable for expensive cars. Therefore, it makes sense to overpay 1000 rubles. but go through the “officials”.

Now we are watching a short video on the topic

I’ll finish here, the information is useful, so we tell our friends and add it to our bookmarks. Sincerely yours, AUTOBLOGGER
