Without fuel, as you understand, you can not leave on your car anywhere. Well, except that you will push him from behind or tiddle on a towing cable to another car.
But the fuel is different, plus it can and has all sorts of impurities, resins, condensate, dust, dirt. To protect fuel from all this, a fuel filter is needed for VAZ 2110. Over time, the filter loses its former efficacy, it does not cope with the tasks set before him. Consequently, the fuel enters the low-quality engine that provokes the growth of fuel consumption, accelerating the failure of consumables and reduce the engine resource.
Why make a replacement
As we noted, the filter serves to purify the fuel from all sorts of impurities. If they do not get rid of them, it can lead to sad consequences:
- The presence of impurities resins negatively affects the power supply of the motor;
- If condensate falls into the fuel, the process of corrosion inside the motor and its elements will begin, in the winter period of time with the launch of the power unit, there may be problems, since the altitude of water is formed in the fuel line;
- The impurities in the fuel are reflected in power, which is capable of falling noticeably with a contaminated filter.
When replacing this element in a timely manner, you can avoid a variety of problems and breakdowns. The fuel filter service life depends on the load on the engine and the car, as well as on the quality of the fuel plugged.
According to the operating manual, on the VAZ 2110 change the fuel filter every 20 thousand mileage kilometers. Although if the operating conditions of the machine are extreme, and the quality of the fuel used leaves much to be desired, the cleaning element will have much more often.
When you want to change the element
You will definitely notice if the car does not start. Plus, during trips, the engine can trot. This suggests that the fuel filter was most likely clogged. Consequently, it is required to replace it.
In the car VAZ 2110, it is directly behind the gas tank. The special pump serves fuel to the power unit, and the filter delays all sorts of impurities, preventing them from entering the fuel line and fuel-air mixture.
Preparatory activities
There is no time to spend on replacing the fuel filter. The process is easy and does not require connecting to the work of experienced specialists. In addition, the services of masters from maintenance stations are expensive. You can do everything yourself and no less qualitatively than experienced specialists.
To begin arise the set of tools and auxiliary materials, which includes:
- A set of keys at 17 and 19 millimeters;
- Lubricant Almighty preparation WD40;
- Capacity for the drain of excess fuel and non-recycled fuel on the filter;
- Dry rag without a pile;
- Gloves and closed shoes.
Immediately let's say if you don't want or are not ready to perform such work with your own hands, it's not too late to stop. You can instruct your VAZ 2110 and replacing the fuel filter on it to masters. It will cost money, but you guarantee yourself a qualitatively completed task.
If you still do not scare you, then proceed.
There are several tips from experienced professionals who allow you to more competently and correctly perform an operation to replace fuel purifier on your car.
- Reduced fuel pressure. With it, it is quite convenient to change the filter. It is done before starting the element replacement. Remove the fuse from the fuel pump, and run the motor. He must work for a while, after which he will stall. Alas, not all car owners know about the need to fulfill such a procedure. Nevertheless, it helps significantly.
- Replace on the lift, with which the car is raised above the floor level. Many are engaged in work using the observation pit, which is also quite acceptable. But in terms of comfort, it is better to have a lift. The most important thing is to find the filter. It is represented as a cylinder and is located in the immediate vicinity of the beam on the bottom of the car. Its fastening to the car is carried out by clamps. It is easy enough to find it, because two tubes come to the filter - a hose supplying fuel.
- If there is a gasoline residue in the system, be sure to prepare the container for their drain. Remember that the system has a certain pressure that will provoke the supply of a rather strong jet of fuel when dismantling hoses.
- In the process of replacing the fuel filter, it is recommended to pay attention to the fuel pressure regulator. Often it fails, plus, if he serves on a car long enough, it will not be superfluous to change it simultaneously with the change of the fuel cleaner.
Security measures
Remember, you work with fuel. Consequently, you need to protect yourself and everything around you. For this you need:
- Do not smoke during repair. Even a small fire can lead to a large-scale fire that can spread far beyond your garage. Especially if you are in the garage cooperative;
- Have a working fire extinguisher in the immediate vicinity of the workplace;
- To ensure the ventilation of the working area. It is best to work on the street, but since the observation pit may not be there, but it is practically impossible to organize the lift, open the car's door or even turn on the fan so that it drives out the fuel pair from the garage to the street;
- If you have a fuel on the skin, be sure to flush the plot using soap.
We change the filter
Now go directly to the procedure for replacing the fuel system element. Remember, as you move to the filter, you should inspect the rest of the aggregates, nodes and parts, check them for integrity. If damage noted, be sure to change new ones.
From the tools you will need:
- Set of keys at 10, 17 and 19;
- New high-quality filter;
- Pliers;
- Screwdrivers.
The following sequence is as follows:
- Disconnect the wires from the battery.
- With a key of 17 millimeters, unscrew the fitting, and keep the fuel filter itself with the key to 19.
- Prepare the container where the residues of fuel will be merged.
- In the same way, unscrew another fitting, located on another part of the filtering device.
- Using the key to 10, weaken the fastening of the clamp. At a certain point, the filter will be free and you can easily extract it.
- Remove the filter from a special holder.
- On the tip there are sealing rings. Be sure to remove them and check for integrity. If there are damage, be sure to place new, whole seal rings.
- Change the old filter by installing a new unit in its place.
- Do not forget about the importance of compliance with polarity. Look at the arrow, which is applied to the housing of the filtering device. One must coincide with the fuel strokes on the benzing.
- Follow the reverse sequence of dismantling to assemble the system with a new fuel filter.
- If the clamp, the locks or fasteners are damaged, worn, replace them with new ones.
- 12, if you have a new VAZ 2110 modification, the fuel filter can be installed using a latch. Look at how firmly these latches hold. Over time, they weaken, which is why the quality of the filter element is disturbed to the benzing.
By completing the procedure for replacing such an important element of the fuel system, the service life of your car will increase significantly, the fuel will be processed more efficiently, the power will remain at a high level, and fuel consumption will be pleasant for your pocket.
Periodically check the filter state, and also pay attention to the behavior of the car itself. He can talk a lot about malfunctions. And to learn how to determine them, simply explore the instruction manual for your "dozens". There is a large amount of very useful information that will be useful to you during the repair or simple prevention of the machine.
