Maintenance schedule for Lada Xray Cross

Maintenance of the LADA XRAY car guarantees a longer service life of the car. This procedure allows you to identify and eliminate minor faults at an early stage.

It is recommended to carry out maintenance every 15,000 km. The work is carried out in the car service center of an official dealer, who makes the appropriate adjustments to the service book.

The XRay car line includes versions:

• 1.6 liter petrol engine with 106 hp;
• 1.6 liter petrol engine with a power of 110 hp;
• 1.8 liter petrol engine with 110 hp;
• Cross;
• Cross AT.

Changing the candles

Replacing spark plugs is not a complicated operation, but you will need a set of sockets (including a 16 spark plug) with extensions and knobs. The spark plugs are located between the plastic pipes of the intake manifold and are easy to reach.

The technology for replacing spark plugs is as follows:

1. Disconnect the ignition coil wiring chips;

1. Unscrew the coil mounting bolts;
2. We remove the coils;

1. Using a spark plug head with an extension, unscrew the spark plug;
2. Screw in a new candle;

Then all that remains is to put the coil in place, secure it and connect the connector with the wiring.

Routine maintenance and replacement of various components

Spark plugs in versions with Renault-Nissan H4m and HR16 engines are replaced during maintenance 2 and after a mileage of 90,000 km. Zero maintenance of the Lada XRay is optional.

Brake system

The XRAY brake system is given special attention to ensure driver safety and an accident-free warranty period. If you follow the maintenance requirements and carry out timely repairs, a car on the Renault platform is guaranteed to last a long time.

During maintenance 2, the following work is carried out to check the brake system:

• the hydraulic drive is checked for brake fluid leakage (all pipes and hoses);
• control adjustment of the position of the sensor for turning on the brake indicator is carried out;
• the serviceability of the handbrake is checked;
• brakes and their effectiveness are tested;
• check the level and change the brake fluid if necessary;
• the operation of a vacuum brake booster is tested;
• operational damage to the brake pads (front and rear) is monitored; the rear pads are visually inspected using an inspection window.

Replacement of parts at the end of their service life

It is worth mentioning that every three years the Lada XRay requires installing a new backup battery for the ERA-GLONASS system control unit, as well as replacing the coolant and brake fluid.

Below are the manufacturer's recommendations regarding fluid replacement.

Maintenance of Lada X-RAY

Like any car, the new crossover from AvtoVAZ called Lada X-Ray requires periodic maintenance. These measures are aimed at maintaining the car in working condition and eliminating minor faults.

The automaker has drawn up a schedule for maintenance and repair of the Lada X-Ray, which includes all types of work to maintain the car in good condition. The first maintenance of the Lada X-Ray should take place after 15 thousand km, all subsequent ones – after the same mileage.

Body

Lada XRAY body maintenance work includes the following list of services:

• doors and functional elements - hinges and stops - are lubricated;
• the operation of the glass cleaners and washers is checked;
• the operation of the heated front (optional) and rear windows is checked;
• window regulators and external mirrors are inspected;
• the locks on the doors and hood are checked;
• The door drainage and thresholds are cleaned.
• The hood lock drive cable is lubricated.

Salon

At the XRAY salon during the third maintenance they check:

• heated seats;
• working condition of climate control and air conditioning.

As you can see, in TO45 only three additional processes are carried out: replacing the brake fluid, checking the brake system drum and lubricating the lock drive cable. The rest of the list concerns TO15. It is also obvious that if there is serious damage, the official dealer will not provide free warranty repairs. This note especially applies to people who have an extreme driving style - the warranty will not help, you will have to pay for the restoration of the Lada XRAY.

Probably, the manufacturer is counting on providing preventive service, rather than carrying out actual repair work within the warranty period, since the technical regulations mainly concern the inspection and testing of the functionality of individual machine systems. Accordingly, if problems arise after a decent mileage, it is worth additionally contacting the service with specific complaints, without expecting them to be resolved during maintenance.

We counted and shed tears: the whole truth about the cost of Lada Xray maintenance

Were you going to buy a hatchback based on the penny Zhiguli cost of maintenance? We have to disappoint - the difference between the expected and actual price of routine maintenance turned out to be simply shocking.

Were you going to buy a Lada Xray with a Nissan engine, counting on the penny Zhiguli cost of maintenance? We understand, but we have to disappoint - the difference between the expected and actual price of routine maintenance turned out to be simply shocking.

All the efforts of the ex-director of AvtoVAZ, Bo Andersson, were aimed at distancing two Tolyatti new products - Lada Vesta and Xray (more about the hatchback here) - from everything that was previously produced at the plant, freeing the cars from the burden of a sad reputation. And we are talking not only about improving the quality of the product and production culture, but also about the overall feeling of the car. “Xray” and “Vesta” have become a pleasure to drive; they compete on an equal footing with bestsellers in the budget segment, and in some consumer properties they even surpass them.

In the new Ladas, nothing rattles, cracks or falls off anymore, although this was achieved largely through the widespread use of imported components. True, if Vesta was originally born with a Tolyatti engine under the hood, then the raised Xray hatchback began its market career with the foreign H4M engine, familiar from many models of the Renault-Nissan concern - starting with Sentra, Tiida and Juke and ending with Duster. In Tolyatti specification, a 1.6-liter engine with an aluminum block and timing chain drive develops 110 hp. (150 Nm), providing the Xray with manual acceleration to 100 km/h in 11.1 s and a top speed of 181 km/h.

Lada Xray with a 110-horsepower Renault-Nissan engine is now sold in a single configuration - with a 5-speed manual transmission in the TOP/Yubileinaya version.
Price 799 thousand rubles An AutoVesti correspondent uses this Lada Xray as a personal car, and there are no special complaints about the engine: the dynamics on the “handle” are sufficient, the average fuel consumption in Moscow traffic jams in winter does not exceed 8.6 liters, engine noise does not put pressure on the ears.

Here is what the manufacturer himself writes about the dynamics and comfort of the Lada Xray:

LADA XRAY is a comfortable and high seating position, especially convenient in the city and on light off-road conditions, a dynamic engine, sharp handling, good sound insulation. The car's suspension is tuned for active maneuvering: gas-filled shock absorbers and a front subframe provide excellent control over the road. High off-road ground clearance together with an energy-intensive, trouble-free chassis guarantee excellent cross-country ability.

Only today you can buy an Xray of that very “Bu-Andersson” era with a Renault-Nissan engine only in a single configuration - in order to reduce the cost, AvtoVAZ is gradually removing this unit from the list of hatchback engine range, replacing it with a Tolyatti 1.6-liter engine 106 hp with index 21129, which is installed on Vesta and is planned for Vesta Cross.
