A common mistake among car designers is the tight layout of the air conditioning system. As a result, the simplest operation in theory to replace the cabin filter can become many times more difficult than expected.
This problem is especially acute for compact cars, where the entire ventilation system should not take up space from an already small interior. When replacing the cabin filter on a Lada Xray yourself, you will have to choose one of two options. Either remove the glove compartment and insert the filter in an awkward position, or save time by not removing the glove compartment - the inconvenience will increase slightly.
All about the cabin filter and when it should be changed
Almost all modern cars have a cabin air filter, as it is very important and performs many important functions.
Some car enthusiasts have no idea where it is located and how often it requires replacement. With the help of an air filter, the air is purified, as a result of which clean air enters the car, and all dust, sand and soot, is retained in the filter along with other impurities and harmful substances that are in the air. Such a filter is simply irreplaceable for those people who suffer from allergies, because it is completely cleaned of foreign substances.
Stages of replacing the filter element Lada X-Ray
Compared to most other cars, replacing the cabin filter in the Lada X-Ray is relatively simple. Relatively, because the filter is not located in the most convenient place for replacement. Simple - because no special preparation is required for this operation. All you need is the new filter element itself.
It is pointless to dispute the benefits of salon tea, especially when it comes to coal ones. Therefore, it is not surprising that self-installation of filters on cars has become common. This is a routine and fairly simple procedure for periodic maintenance, there is nothing complicated about it
According to the regulations, replacement of the cabin filter is provided every 15,000 km, that is, every scheduled maintenance. However, depending on the operating conditions of the vehicle, the replacement period can be reduced to 8-10 t.km. mileage The more often you change the filter in the cabin, the cleaner the air will be and the better the air conditioner or heater will work.
Where is
Like most other cars, the cabin filter of the Lada X-Ray is located in the passenger compartment on the passenger side. The filter housing is located under the dashboard, so getting it out requires a little fiddling. At a car service center they will charge you about 700 rubles for a replacement, which is quite a lot for a 15-minute procedure.
The cabin filter makes the ride comfortable, so if a plug is installed, it is recommended to remove it and install a cleaning element. Much less dust will accumulate in the cabin. If you use carbon filtration, the air quality inside the car will become even noticeably better.
Removing and installing a new filter element
First, you need to make a reservation that you can use the official instructions for replacement by removing the glove compartment. But this makes no sense other than wasting time. This method is less convenient, but very fast.
Replacing the cabin filter of the Lada X-Ray is a routine and fairly simple periodic maintenance procedure. There is nothing complicated about it, so replacing it yourself is quite simple. To make the operation easier, you can move the front passenger seat all the way back.
The filter plug can be seen behind the center console when viewed from the glove compartment, and to remove the filter it is enough to:
- We get to the installation site (Fig. 1).
Fig.1 Installation location Access to the filter plug is open. To remove it, you need to squeeze the protrusions shown in the photo. The effort required for this is small, they give in easily. After this, simply pull the lid towards you (Fig. 2).
Fig.2 Squeezing the protrusions Pull the filter by the lower part, moving upward, so that the upper part of the filter disengages. The filter element itself is larger than the hole where it should be inserted. Therefore, it is pulled out according to the accordion principle (Fig. 3).
When to change, what interior to install
According to the technical maintenance regulations, the cabin filter on the Lada X-Ray is replaced at least once a year. Or during every scheduled maintenance, that is, every 15 thousand kilometers.
However, when used on Russian roads, within the period specified in the regulations, the cabin filter becomes quite clogged and ceases to perform its functions. Therefore, to ensure normal filtration, owners recommend cutting the time frame for replacing the cabin filter by half.
The ideal option is to change the Lada X-Ray cabin filter twice a year, once in the winter season, and once before the summer season. In the spring and summer, it is better to install coal, as it copes more effectively with various allergens and unpleasant odors. And in autumn and winter, ordinary dust is enough.
Although the service book indicates specific terms for replacing the filter element, it is often recommended to carry out the replacement earlier, that is, not according to regulations, but as needed. The basis for replacement are signs of filter contamination:
- When the car is used in the summer on dusty road sections, the filter element becomes much more clogged with fine dust, as a result of which replacement may be required earlier.
- With frequent idle time in traffic jams, the element becomes clogged with small particles of exhaust soot, as a result of which it may appear relatively clean in appearance, but at the same time the surface acquires a gray color, indicating severe contamination, and permeability is reduced to almost zero.
- In the fall, leaves can get into the air ducts - even a small amount can become a breeding ground for millions of bacteria that cause an unpleasant odor. It is quite difficult to get rid of it; you will need not only replacing the filter element, but also completely cleaning the box.
- Increased air humidity in the cabin (window fogging).
- Reduced ventilation and heating system power.
- Noise appears when ventilation is turned on to maximum.
Suitable sizes
When choosing a filter element, owners do not always use products recommended by the car manufacturer. Everyone has their own reasons for this, some say that the original is unreasonably expensive. Some people in the region sell only analogues, so there is a need to know the sizes by which you can subsequently make a selection:
- Height: 35 mm
- Width: 200 mm
- Length: 216 mm
As a rule, sometimes analogues for Lada Xray can be a few millimeters larger or smaller than the original, there is nothing wrong with that. And if the difference is measured in centimeters, then of course it’s worth looking for another option.
Selecting an original cabin filter
The manufacturer recommends using exclusively original consumables, which, in general, is not surprising. They themselves are of good quality and are widely available in car dealerships, but their price may seem overpriced to many car owners.
Regardless of the configuration, on all Lada X-Rays, the manufacturer recommends installing a cabin air filter with article number 272773016R (dust) or 272773151R (carbon). They are also known under other articles, there are no differences in them, and they are interchangeable:
- 272770567R
- 272777764R
- 272778214R
- 272779683R
- 272889739R
It is worth noting that sometimes consumables and other spare parts may be supplied to dealerships under different part numbers. Which can sometimes confuse those who want to purchase an original product.
When choosing between a dust and carbon product, car owners are advised to use a carbon filter element. This filter is more expensive, but it cleans the air much better.
It is easy to distinguish - the paper filter accordion is impregnated with a carbon composition, and therefore has a dark gray color. The filter cleans the air flow from dust, fine dirt, germs, bacteria and enhances the protection of your lungs.
Which analogues to choose
In addition to simple cabin filters, there are also carbon filters that filter the air more effectively, but they are more expensive. The advantage of coal SF is that it does not allow foreign odors coming from the road (street) to penetrate into the car interior.
But this filter element also has a drawback - air does not pass through it well. GodWill and Corteco carbon filters are of fairly high quality and are a good replacement for the original.
However, in some retail outlets the price of the original Lada X-Ray cabin filter may be greatly inflated. In this case, it makes sense to purchase a non-original consumable item. In particular, cabin filters are considered quite popular:
Conventional dust cabin filters
- MANN-FILTER CU22011 – high-tech consumables from a well-known manufacturer
- BIG FILTER GB-9978 – popular brand, good fine cleaning
- Nevsky filter NF6433 – Russian manufacturer with an affordable price
Carbon cabin filters
- MANN-FILTER CUK22011 – high-quality and thick carbon coating
- BIG FILTER GB-9978/C – activated carbon
- Nevsky filter NF6433C – normal quality, affordable price
It makes sense to take a closer look at the products of other companies - they also specialize in the production of high-quality consumables for passenger cars:
- Corteco
- Filtron
- SCT
- Sakura
- GoodWill
- Fram
- JS Asakashi
- Champion
- Zekkert
- Masuma
- Nipparts
- Purflux
- Knecht Mahle
It is quite possible that sellers may recommend replacing the Xray cabin filter with non-original cheap substitutes with a much smaller thickness. They are not worth buying, since their filtering characteristics are unlikely to be at the proper level.
Where is the cabin filter located?
To replace the filter in the cabin of the Lada X Ray 1 6, you must first remove the old element. It is located under the instrument panel. It is advisable to remove the glove compartment, although some craftsmen carry out work without touching it. There are usually no difficulties with performing the procedure.
At a service station, the replacement procedure costs from 700 rubles, you can do everything yourself in literally 20 minutes
Signs of a clogged cleaning element

Replacing the LADA XRAY cabin filter in St. Petersburg
Many motorists neglect the rule of replacing the air filter (hereinafter referred to as the air filter) in a timely manner, as a result of which fuel consumption increases and power decreases.
AvtoVAZ engineers recommend replacing the cleaning element (hereinafter referred to as the Element) every 45,000 km - every third service. If the owner drives less than the specified mileage, then two years from the date of installation of the purifier are considered as an alternative.
The process of replacing an element yourself is not at all difficult, but it requires care on the part of the repairman. Violation of the regulations is unacceptable. If difficulties arise during preventive maintenance, seek help from service station specialists.

Cabin filter Lada X-RAY
The Lada X-RAY cabin filter can be regular or carbon. The Lada X-RAY cabin filter is an additional vehicle equipment. Production quality is of paramount importance. Lada X-RAY cabin filters come in case and cartridge designs. Single-section and two-section (installed in pairs side by side). Available for vehicles with automatic air conditioning.
They are usually rectangular in shape with a corrugated or plate-shaped insert in the middle. The cabin filter is usually located either in the glove compartment area or in the engine compartment. The Lada XRAY cabin filter is part of the car's forced ventilation system.
In what cases is it necessary to replace the purifier?
- Obvious mechanical damage to the housing, purifier;
- Getting water, moisture, sand, dirt into the structure, which creates a threat of debris being sucked into the engine cylinders;
- The element is filled with motor or transmission oil, antifreeze, brake fluid;
- The purifier is heavily contaminated; blowing with a stream of compressed air will be ineffective.
Replacing the Lada Xray air filter (VAZ X-ray)
AVTOVAZ strongly recommends replacing the cabin air filter on the LADA XRAY every 30,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first.
During long-term operation of the Lada Xray in difficult conditions (heavy gas pollution, dust, etc.), the cabin air filter should be replaced 2-3 times more often.

- Remove the tunnel lining on the front passenger side by removing the screws;
- Remove the glove compartment lid (if necessary).
- Look under the panel. Remove the cabin filter cover (No. 2) by squeezing the clips (No. 3).

Replacing the cabin filter on Lada Vesta and XRAY
The cabin filter on the Lada Vesta is designed to purify the oxygen entering the interior of the car. Long-term operation without replacing the element leads to deterioration in throughput, clogging, and sedimentation of solid particles on the fibers. The first sign indicating a replacement is the appearance of a fetid odor in the cabin, something like dampness or foulness.
If you have experience in servicing equipment, you can change the cabin filter on a Lada Vesta yourself. If you don’t have the time or skills, contact a certified service center to order a service.
