Replacing the fuel filter (VAZ-2115)

The replacement of the fine fuel filter is regulated - every 30,000 km of run. However, its condition depends on the quality of gasoline: the dirtier the gasoline, the faster the filter gets clogged. Jerks when driving a car, first at high speeds, and then at low speeds, most likely indicate a clogged filter.

You will need keys "10", "17" and "19".

1. Disconnect the wire from the "–" terminal of the battery.

2. Reduce the pressure in the fuel system (see "Reducing pressure in the fuel system" in the subsection "Power supply system").

3. Loosen the nuts securing the hose ends to the fuel filter.



4. Unscrew the filter mounting clamp tightening bolt.



5. Finally, unscrew the hose end nuts and disconnect the hose ends from the filter. Note that a small amount of fuel will leak from the filter and hoses.





6. Remove the fuel filter.



7. Remove the sealing rings from the hose tips. Check their condition. Replace any rings that have lost their elasticity or are torn.



8. Install the new filter in the reverse order of removal. The arrow on the fuel filter housing should point in the direction of fuel flow.
