Types of wipers on Lada Largus and methods for troubleshooting them

Lada Largus is a family car with a high level of capacity and modern design. The car is the first joint project of AvtoVAZ and Renault. This model comes standard with frame windshield wipers. Which are an important spare part for any car. Let's look at the types and sizes of wipers.

Front right windshield wiper on LADA Largus.

The windshield wiper is an indispensable driver's assistant. They do an excellent job of removing any kind of dirt on the front and rear windows of the car. All configurations of the Lada Largus include two sets of wipers: front and rear, except for cars with a van body. If you are not satisfied with the performance of the factory wipers, you can always replace them with more suitable ones.

Types of wipers on Lada Largus and methods for troubleshooting them

Today we will talk about Largus windshield wipers.
Let's try to figure out what size windshield wiper blades to buy so that there is no “snot effect”. As well as personal experience of using various wipers to eliminate this phenomenon. Greetings to all largus guides who have visited our blog at this moment.

The stock frame windshield wipers on Largus are far from being of the best quality. In the sense that they have certain functional disadvantages. You understand this when you travel with them for a while. Here they are, native inhabitants of Larik’s windshield, each 500 mm long:

The main disadvantage is that after the wipers have passed over the windshield, a sharp tooth remains on it, where the so-called “snot” occurs. This is clearly demonstrated by the highly acute-angled layer of dirt in the bottom photo.

But the dirt is not so bad. During rain, wet snow or snow melting on the roof, water begins to flow down the glass in this very place. There is a desire to turn on the wipers more often in order to clean up the drips. But alas, this cannot be done due to the same length of the wipers. This is the main reason for the formation of snot.

To remove the snot or at least reduce it to a minimum, you will still need to choose the correct length of the wipers. The rule is this: wipers should be of different lengths. Moreover, the left one should be longer than the right one. In this way, we ensure that the angle formed in the area where the wipers intersect becomes obtuse. And this is what we need.

Dimensions of wipers for Largus

Size of windshield wipers on the Lada Vesta: choosing the best
The standard manual provides information regarding the lengths of the brushes. For the windshield, the manufacturer has provided a wiper 500 mm long. This applies not only to the driver's side, but also to the so-called passenger area. The glass of the cargo compartment door must be cleaned with a brush; the size of the wipers in this case reaches 350 mm.

To make it easier to find the required brushes in order to replace them, the manufacturer provides a catalog code. It looks like this: "288901158R".

If we touch upon the maximum permissible size of wipers, then for the front of the car they are equal to:

• 650 mm is the size of the driver's side window blades;
• 550 mm is the direct size of the passenger side cleaning brushes.

The stern glass wipers can have a maximum possible length of 380 mm.

So, remove the tip from the candle and before we begin to remove it, use a pump or a rag to clean the area around the candle. This is necessary to ensure that no dirt or grains of dust get into the well.

Using a 16mm spark plug wrench or a similar head, unscrew the spark plug and screw in a new one.

Then we put on the tip and replace it on the remaining cylinders.

The tightening torque of the spark plugs is 25–30 Nm.

If you remove all the tips from the candles at once, then remember how they stood, or carefully look at the order in which they were installed. Each wire is installed on a specific cylinder; the number can be found on the module (ignition coil).

Brush sizes

• according to the technical manual, the size of the driver's wiper is 600 mm;
• The size of the passenger cleaner is 410 mm.

Windshield wiper blades and the size of the wipers on the Lada Kalina: we describe the essence

Alternatively, you can use longer windshield wipers:

1. On the passenger side, you can install a longer wiper, its size should be no more than 450 mm, this will allow it to engage a larger amount of surface.
2. As for the driver's brush, it is better not to experiment here. For example, if you install a 610 mm wiper, this will cause it to touch the car body during operation, and accordingly, a knock will appear (video author - TheLadaKalina 2).

*prices are as of September 17, 2018.

The given prices are for budget components; when purchasing products from famous brands, the cost increases.

The standard size of the Lada-Grant windshield wipers on the windshield, which is indicated in the instruction manual, is 60 cm on the driver’s side and 41 cm on the passenger’s side. At the same time, on the left (driver's side) the maximum size of the brushes is indicated. If you set it even 1 cm more, the wipers will knock and fail faster. On the right passenger side it is possible to increase the length of the brushes. The maximum length in this case will be 45 cm.

Most often, when replacing, drivers prefer to choose a longer wiper on the passenger side as it cleans the windshield better. The price in this case differs slightly.

Motorists approach the issue of selecting wipers for Lada individually. Some people don’t like blades that are too long, while others, on the contrary, are sure that the more area the windshield is cleaned, the better.

Most often, frameless wipers “Lada-Grants” are offered with a size of 60 x 45 cm. They are easy to use and have a longer service life.

The cheapest option is the frame brushes that come with a new car, but they don’t last long.

How to understand that the length of the wipers is chosen incorrectly:

• The glass is difficult to clean even after prolonged operation of the wipers. Ideally, the brush should clean the windshield in an average of three passes over it. The quality of cleaning decreases when the wiper is not pressed tightly against the glass.
• During operation, the brush touches the rubber seal on the windshield and cleans in stripes.
• During operation, the wipers (right and left) touch each other and slow down movement, and accordingly affect the driver’s viewing angle. This indicates that the wiper blades are too long. Sometimes long brushes can even touch the driver's door, which is accompanied by a knock.
• Wipers that are too small clean a small area of ​​the windshield, reducing visibility through it, especially on the driver's side.

The length of the driver's windshield wiper is 600 mm. The length of the passenger wiper is 410 mm. The type of fastening is “hook” (hook in English).

Foreign manufacturers indicate the length of the windshield wiper in inches, so the suitable length for a passenger blade is 16″. Sixteen inches - 406 mm, probably because of this, brushes with lengths of both 40 and 41 cm can be installed on the right side of the Granta. If desired, you can install a passenger windshield wiper up to 45 cm, but I would recommend staying in the range of 400...410 mm.

I have added brush article numbers to the selection: they will help you find specific products in stores that sell auto parts (this is faster and, most likely, cheaper). Also, the articles will allow you to avoid compromises in the form of several centimeters in the length of the brushes - choose only what is made specifically for your car.

Who services your Lada Largus?

Lada.Online

Lada (“Lada”) is a brand of cars produced by JSC AVTOVAZ. Previously, it was used only for export cars, and for the domestic market, cars were produced under the Zhiguli brand. In 2004, the management of AVTOVAZ announced the transition to the Latin alphabet for the official spelling of the names of all cars produced by the plant: Lada - instead of "VAZ" and "Lada".

Lada.Online is the largest Russian-language automotive resource with a daily audience of thousands, which is dedicated primarily to cars of this brand, the domestic automotive industry and the automotive world in general.

Types of windshield wiper malfunctions

Rubber band for car wipers: types and features of choosing brushes

The wipers on the Lada Largus are available in three modes - intermittent, low and high speed. If the system is installed correctly and wipers from a reliable manufacturer are installed, then malfunctions rarely occur, mainly due to wear. Most malfunctions are associated with mechanical and electrical problems. The most common breakdowns:

• gradual decrease or disappearance of the lubricant on the fingers and moving elements. This problem leads to a decrease in resistance. Even the engine's efforts cannot overcome it;
• moisture entering the plastic casing through the gap due to lack of tight fixation or breakage of fasteners. Over time, rust forms on the electric motor rotor commutator and deposits on the terminal with a minus sign due to the oxidation reaction under the influence of moisture.
• the receipt of the signal to the engine is delayed, since the command comes not from the steering column switch, but from the relay that controls it;
• the electrical circuit is protected by a fuse located on the mounting block. Due to a circuit break in one of the sections or a short circuit, the wipers do not carry out the command. The fuse insert burns out;
• difficulties with the tank or insufficient amount of working fluid;
• damage to the connecting hose, squeezing of tubes, clogged nozzles;
• pump failure, etc.

Recommendations regarding replacement

It is clear that the procedure itself for replacing the useful products of the security complex we are considering is simple to the point of indecentness. However, it still makes sense to highlight a couple of points. Firstly, resort to purchasing and installing only high-quality brushes on your LADA Largus, which will allow you to avoid unexpected surprises on the road (breaking of the working rubber in the rain, etc.), as well as maintain cleaning efficiency throughout the declared service life (about 30 thousand km. ).

Secondly, when performing the replacement process, it is recommended to cover the surface of the Lada Largus windshield with a thick blanket. If the bent holder, after removing the brush, unexpectedly and spontaneously falls onto the glass under the action of the spring insert, then such protection will protect the surface from damage.

“Non-native” sizes of wipers on Largus

Many Largus owners are not satisfied with the glass area that can be cleaned with standard size brushes. That's why they install longer windshield wipers. The most common installation options:

If you want to experiment with the length of your windshield wipers, I recommend wipers at this length.

• frameless Bosch Aerotwin Retrofit AR 21 U (3397008536),
• frameless Champion Easyvision Retrofit (ER53/B01),
• hybrid Denso (DUR-053L),
• frame Bosch Eco 53C (3397004671).

• frameless Bosch Aerotwin Retrofit AR 22 U (3397008537);

Frame products and their worthy offers

For lovers of frame glass cleaners for LADA Largus, manufacturers offer an extensive list of options. Among the many offers, the following products have become enviably popular:

1. Classic options for frame accessories “Bosch Twin 500” (product catalog code – “3397118560”). Sold as a set.
2. The eternal competitors of the above-mentioned brushes are “Champion Aerovantage A51” (their article number is “A51/B01”). Likewise, they are offered as a kit.
3. Next, let's move on to the piece versions of cleaners:

• “Denso Standard” (code – “DM-550”);
• “Bosch Eco 50C” (with article number “3397004670”); of the cohort of premium products are the most affordable.

What to choose: framed or frameless?

Before choosing, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the operating features of each type of purifier.

Frameless products adhere more tightly to the glass surface, providing high-quality cleaning. These accessories are not noisy at high engine speeds and are able to resist freezing well.

There is an opinion among owners about an increase in the rate of glass wear due to the close contact of the cleaners with the surface. However, this does not stop many owners of the Lada Largus, because stylish-looking and efficient windshield wiper blades negate these concerns.

What to do with a curved windshield? After all, it is known that frameless options on such a surface will be insufficiently effective, leaving dirty streaks along the edges of the cleaning zone. This is where frame accessories for LADA Largus come to the rescue, as their processing area on such a surface is somewhat larger. In addition, these options are much cheaper than frameless competitors. Disadvantages include susceptibility to corrosion and short service life.

Largus standard wipers

According to the car's operating manual, the dimensions of the windshield wipers are as follows: the length of both front blades is 500 mm, the brushes for the tailgate glass are 350 mm. Catalog number for brush set 288901158R.

The maximum size of the wipers cannot exceed 650 and 550 mm for the left and right sides respectively. This length allows you not to go beyond the windshield onto the body while working, and the cleaning area becomes optimal. For the rear window, the wiper size cannot exceed 38 cm.

The standard Largus windshield wiper blade has a frame type design.

What to choose for the back door?

All of the brush options we reviewed related to their applicability to the windshield. What should a Lada Largus owner do if he needs to replace the cleaner on the rear doors? Which option to choose and not make a mistake?

As a very advantageous offer for such an accessory, many owners see the frame-type brush “Bosch Rear H 353” (code – “3397004631”). This 350 mm product is equipped with a special mount.

Types of wipers

Three types of brushes are installed on Largus: frame, frameless and hybrid.

Frame wipers

These are the most popular brushes. They consist of a metal frame, rubber tape and fasteners. The frame is driven by rocker arms, which ensure that the rubber cleaning strip rests firmly on the windshield. When the wipers start working, the rocker arms rotate to follow the curves of the glass. The force of pressing the brushes against the glass does not change throughout the entire stroke of the wipers - cleaning from moisture and dirt becomes as effective as possible.

Over time, the rubber cleaning element wears out. The attractiveness of frame brushes is that they can be removed and replaced without difficulty. To do this, the wiper is removed from the leash, the old rubber is removed, and a new one is installed in its place. First, the new element must be trimmed to length using a suitable tool - scissors or a stationery knife. At the same time, you can check the mobility of the rocker arm and, if necessary, lubricate it with WD-40 fluid or replace it.

This type of brushes has many advantages that make them stand out from others:

1. The cleaning element is inexpensive.
2. Replacing the rubber band is a simple procedure that even beginners can handle.
3. The metal frame of the wipers is strong and durable. On more expensive models, it is additionally protected by a plastic casing, which prevents the entry of dust, moisture and other contaminants.
4. Frame brushes are practical and easy to use.

The moving part of the metal frame with articulated rocker arms is both an advantage and a disadvantage of this type of windshield wiper. In winter, water, snow and dirt get into the skeleton. Freezing, they paralyze the moving part.

The same effect is observed when corrosion occurs. This leads to the fact that the cleaning element does not fit tightly onto the windshield, which means it cannot effectively remove dirt and moisture. Another disadvantage is the appearance of the wipers - over time, the paintwork fades and becomes rusty.

Frameless wipers

Such brushes first appeared in the mid-eighties. These unusual products could be recognized by the special bend of the cleaning element. They do not have a metal frame, and visually it is one continuous rubber band. An evodium plate supports the structure and gives it the necessary rigidity, thanks to which a characteristic bend is created. When the wiper is lowered onto the glass under the action of a rigid plate, a spring effect occurs. The rubber cleaning strip adheres tightly to the windshield, maintaining an even force along its entire length.

Frameless brushes look attractive; over time, no corrosion spots appear on them and, regardless of operating conditions, their color does not fade. The cleaning element is evenly pressed against the surface along its entire length and follows the curves of the glass without leaving streaks. The design of the blades is such that the car does not lose its aerodynamic properties - while driving, the oncoming air flow presses the wipers even more against the glass. Such wipers are almost not susceptible to the negative effects of snow and ice - they do not have moving elements that are sensitive to dirt.

Frameless windshield wiper blades on the Lada Largus have a lower profile, which means they do not interfere with visibility.

The main disadvantage of this type of windshield wipers is their high cost. It is impossible to replace a worn rubber band. When trying to save money, the driver risks purchasing a fake that will not effectively cope with its task. Also, the disadvantages include the need to select a product for a specific car.

Hybrid brushes

These are wipers that combine a metal frame with movable rocker arms and a spoiler (plastic body). The frame is hidden under a casing and is protected from snow and ice getting inside. When the car is moving, the spoiler provides additional downforce due to its aerodynamic characteristics, and the frame ensures uniform pressure of the rubber band over the entire surface.

The advantages include:

• good pressing to glass of any curvature;
• low profile;
• attractive appearance.

The main disadvantage is the high price, although among Chinese models you can choose a good option at a lower cost. The casing cannot 100% protect the frame from snow, and as a result, the quality of cleaning is reduced.

Windshield wiper malfunctions

On Lada Largus cars, wipers operate in three modes: intermittent, at low and high speed. Malfunctions associated with the operation of wipers can be mechanical or electrical.

The most common mechanical problem is the gradual decrease and complete disappearance of lubricants on the pins for mounting on leads and on the moving parts of the trapezoid. Over time, considerable resistance is created on all moving elements, which cannot be overcome by the force of the electric motor.

To remove the leashes, it is best to use a special puller, since the latches on the trapezoid are made of plastic and are very fragile - they can break if pressed hard. To facilitate dismantling, you can use WD-40 liquid. After applying it you need to wait 15-20 minutes.

Electrical type problems arise due to mechanical influence. The assembly with gearbox parts and electric motor elements is covered with a plastic casing, which is secured to the body with latches. There are often situations when, due to a loose connection between the cover and the body, a gap appears and moisture begins to enter it. Over time, this leads to the appearance of rust on the rotor commutator of the electric motor, and a coating of oxidation products begins to form on the “negative” terminal. The ground terminal oxidizes because two different metals come into contact at this point, and under the influence of moisture, oxidation develops even faster.

The signal to the electric motor does not come directly from the steering column switch, but through a relay controlled by it, which is located in the CEBKS (central electronic switching unit in the cabin). This electrical circuit is protected by a 20 A fuse F1; it is located in the mounting block, in the passenger compartment on the left side of the driver, hidden by a decorative cover.

For what reasons might difficulties arise?

Carrying out the process itself is not difficult, but sometimes you still have to face problems and solve them:

1. If a repair kit is not provided, the bushings are selected separately, but may not fit. In this case, they can be drilled out, making sure that the drill does not heat up too much and does not deform the plastic part.
2. It is advisable to clean the surface of aluminum products, as there are often unevenness and roughness on it - this interferes with the installation of the part.
3. The most common question that arises is how to remove the windshield wiper trapezium. The fact is that fasteners tend to “sour” without giving in to the key. In this case, you will have to resort to using a grinder or drill. At home, craftsmen often resort to using a hammer and chisel to cut off a tightly fixed bolt.
4. Before installing a new trapezoid, its elements are inspected for lubrication. If it is missing, it is recommended to apply lithol or other lubricant to the mechanism components.
5. When replacing the bushing with an aluminum one, it must also be lubricated.
6. When purchasing an aluminum spare part, you should purchase four fastening elements (bolts, nuts) for it.

What are the best wipers to install on Lada Largus

Frame brushes are the most popular option. They are easy to dismantle if necessary, and they are reasonably priced. The part consists of elements such as a metal frame, rubber band, and fasteners. Through the rocker arms the frame begins to move. In this case, the tape is pressed tightly against the glass. Brushes precisely follow the curves of the surface, cleaning it from dirt and moisture. The metal frame is characterized by a high degree of strength and durability. The only nuance, according to driver reviews, is the design of the articulated rocker arms. In winter, liquid gets under them, which, when frozen, paralyzes the system.

Frameless brushes are distinguished by a special bend and the absence of a metal base. Externally, the structure looks like a solid rubber band. The system includes an evodium plate, which gives the part the required level of rigidity. The brush lowers onto the surface to be cleaned under the influence of this plate. Thanks to these design features, the car retains its aerodynamic properties while driving. The advantages of such models are an attractive appearance, resistance to corrosion, and resistance to the negative effects of snow and ice. Due to the low profile, visibility is not lost. The main disadvantage is the high price. But it is fully justified by the abundance of advantages.

Hybrid brushes are a system that includes a metal frame, a plastic body and movable rocker arms. The frame is located under the casing. This provides reliable protection against the influence of snow and ice. The presence of a plastic part provides additional downforce. These models have an attractive appearance and a low profile. The construction cost is high.

Frameless options

Such products have enviable reliability and durability. Lada Largus owners prefer the following manufacturers and their products:

1. “Bosch Aerotwin AR 500 S” (catalog code – “3397009081”), accessories have a spoiler and are characterized by the absence of unpleasant sound during operation.
2. "Kamoka" (their article number is "27E17"). Such products are a worthy opponent to the above product. The brushes are fastened using the hook principle. Reliability and excellent efficiency are the key to the popularity of this option.
3. "SWF VisioNext" (code - "119850"). These wiper blades are manufactured by the Valeo brand division. Please note that the products are sold individually, so at the time of purchase you will need to acquire a couple of products.

The principle of operation and malfunctions of the windshield washer

The windshield washer on the Lada Largus is a fairly simple device with a minimal set of components. It consists of a tank, pump, nozzles and connecting pipes. When the driver moves the steering column switch to the appropriate position, the command is transmitted from the ECU to the washer pump. It begins to pump water or a special liquid from the tank to the nozzles located on the hood. They spray the liquid onto the windshield, where the wipers wipe it off along with the dirt.

The most complex element of this system is the pump. Its main element is a small motor consisting of an oil seal, a wheel and graphite brushes. Windshield washer malfunctions can be mechanical or electrical.

Mechanical problems

Usually these are faults related to the tank or working fluid. Motorists often forget to monitor the water level in the tank and top it up on time. If, when you press the steering column switch, the nozzles do not spray liquid onto the glass, you need to check if there is any.

If the liquid does not enter the nozzles, the reason may be damage to the connecting hose - the tubes may break or be compressed. Sometimes the washer does not work due to clogged nozzles. The cause of this problem is tap water. It contains many impurities that clog the injector channels. This problem can be recognized by an uneven and weak stream. To check, you need to disconnect the tubes from the injectors and test the functionality of the system. If the fluid flows normally from the pump, the nozzles will have to be replaced or cleaned. Mechanical faults include cracks in the washer reservoir and motor breakdown caused by wear and tear of its parts.

Electrical problems

All electrical washer system malfunctions are related to the pump. If there is no electricity supplied to it, it will not be able to pump liquid. Among all the problems, several of the most common ones can be identified:

1. The fuse is faulty. To verify this, you need to find the mounting block in the cabin and remove fuse F1, which is responsible for the operation of the washer. The problem can be identified visually - if the fuse link is damaged, the fuse must be replaced.
2. Problem with signal transmission from the steering column switch. If the switch responsible for the washer operation is broken, the signal will not reach the pump. You need to check the entire circuit for breaks. First, determine whether there is voltage at the pump terminals - turn on the device and use a multimeter to measure the voltage. If it is missing, look for a break in the wiring.
3. The pump is faulty. The pump is supplied with power through terminals, which over time oxidize and fail, causing the device to stop working. If there are traces of oxidation on the terminals, they need to be cleaned.

Even a beginner can fix many problems with his own hands. The exception is a break in the electrical circuit - here you cannot do without the appropriate knowledge, so it is better to contact specialists.

What are the causes of breakdowns?

The most likely factor causing the wipers to stop is the blown working element in the fuse. Eliminating this malfunction involves performing the simplest action - replacing the fuse link. It is located in the corresponding mounting block, located on the left side of the steering column. It will be useful to stock up on a fuse diagram, which will help you easily find the insert we need.

When the purifiers stopped functioning intermittently, the control relay most likely became unusable. This component is also located in the previously designated block. When a relay fails, it is replaced with a new analogue. However, we note that according to numerous reviews from owners of domestic small cars, certain statistics have been formed indicating the small number of cases of breakdowns of this kind.

The most common cause is the destruction of bushings. They are made of plastic, so they do not boast a long service life, which reaches a maximum of three years. The process of destruction of elements is primarily influenced by the quality indicator of the material. Here, the only effective measure is replacement, and to carry it out you should acquire a repair kit, which is available at a specialized retailer. In this case, the trapezoid is replaced.

Types of windshield wiper malfunctions

The wipers on the Lada Largus are available in three modes - intermittent, low and high speed. If the system is installed correctly and wipers from a reliable manufacturer are installed, then malfunctions rarely occur, mainly due to wear. Most malfunctions are associated with mechanical and electrical problems. The most common breakdowns:

• gradual decrease or disappearance of the lubricant on the fingers and moving elements. This problem leads to a decrease in resistance. Even the engine's efforts cannot overcome it;
• moisture entering the plastic casing through the gap due to lack of tight fixation or breakage of fasteners. Over time, rust forms on the electric motor rotor commutator and deposits on the terminal with a minus sign due to the oxidation reaction under the influence of moisture.
• the receipt of the signal to the engine is delayed, since the command comes not from the steering column switch, but from the relay that controls it;
• the electrical circuit is protected by a fuse located on the mounting block. Due to a circuit break in one of the sections or a short circuit, the wipers do not carry out the command. The fuse insert burns out;
• difficulties with the tank or insufficient amount of working fluid;
• damage to the connecting hose, squeezing of tubes, clogged nozzles;
• pump failure, etc.

Do-it-yourself replacement of the Lada Granta windshield wiper drive - step-by-step instructions

1. First of all, remove the wipers. This is done in the following way: it is necessary to remove two decorative plugs, under which there are mounting nuts with a key size of “13”, they must be unscrewed, and the windshield wipers must be removed from the slots along with the brushes and leads.

2. Next, you need to remove the frill (decorative plastic trim), for this you will need an “asterisk” - TORX T20.

3. Using a “10” key, you need to unscrew the nut (on the right), as well as 2 bolts (on the left) securing the trapezoid.

4. Now you can turn off the power; to do this, disconnect the wire from the battery and disconnect the connector. Now you can safely remove the entire trapezoid assembly.

5. Next, everyone can do their own depending on the need, some will have to replace everything, and for others it will be enough to wash everything and lubricate it properly.
