So, "zero maintenance" had to be covered somewhere for 2 ~ 3 thousand kilometers, but I decided to pass it earlier. There were several reasons for this:

So, I arrived at this very "zero maintenance", stood in line for a while (for washing and registration) and immediately got on the lift.

Then they greased me the locks (CL), checked the light bulbs, looked at the electrician (pretended to have adjusted the signaling - more on that later), changed the oil (for the universal semi-synthetics Shell Helix Plus 10W-40).

Then they rolled it to the stand to adjust the steering and camber / toe-in - where, in fact, they performed these actions.

In addition, I was amused that they first offered to "change" my Priora to 92nd gasoline (I agreed), then they whispered something and said that their firmware / diagnostic device was broken.
I ask (I have already decided that I need to reflash to 92nd): when will it be possible to "reflash"? They: maybe in a month.
It was me later (when I decided to reflash from local specialists on the recommendation from the forum of priorovodov) I learned (from these very specialists) that my car was produced in 2009 and for it had not yet "figured out how to reflash" the computer imitates the flashing process, but nothing is flashed) ... so I changed my mind while reflashing it.

Well, about the "buggy standard signaling" - yes, they pretended to tweak something, but (again, running ahead) I will say right away - it continued to fail no less. As it turned out later, the point was that when installing additional. equipment, when I ordered to install a "shock sensor" - it's just in it. This vague shock sensor (because I did not succeed in getting a response from it to a blow), in conjunction with the "standard signaling of priors", for some reason reacted to some other alarms (to the signal from their key fob). It was eliminated only by turning off this sensor ... well, it's not the point - I put the StarLine Twage C9 signaling by the winter (but more on that later).

Well, somehow I went through (or rather my Lada Priora) my first (zero) TO. Which, by the way, cost me almost 3 thousand rubles (without twenty).

Maintenance in compliance with the work schedule established by the car manufacturer is a guarantee of long-term trouble-free service of your car. Many of us completely entrust this work to a car service. Meanwhile, many car maintenance operations are technically simple and do not require large physical strength. At the same time, the cost of some simple operations at the service can significantly exceed the cost of replaced parts.

So, for Lada Priora, the frequency of maintenance is taken by the manufacturer to be a multiple of 15 thousand kilometers. For the performance of the set of works prescribed by the regulations on replacing consumables and checking systems, components and assemblies of the car, the service station can issue an invoice for up to 7500 rubles... And this is without taking into account the cost of the consumables themselves!

We do not suggest that you become a repair specialist, a kind of "all-rounder" that every yard or every garage cooperative was once famous for. We just suggest you save a little time and money.

How much does the Lada Priora cost

The cost of basic diagnostics for the next maintenance is about 3000 r ($ 45.4). Checking the condition and levels of liquids up to 1000 rubles. (~ 15 $). Add the cost of the oil (at least $ 7.11 for 4 liters), the filter on average $ 1 and the replacement cost from $ 7, we get ~ $ 60. At the third MOT, fuel filters, air filters and candles in the amount of about $ 16 (along with the cost of their replacement) are added to the sum of the first. The amount of the third is already about $ 66. The fourth MOT can cost $ 57. And the most expensive is the sixth MOT, plus ~ $ 100 to the cost of the first MOT.

The Lada motor requires careful handling

Each power unit has a certain period of its operation without significant interference in its design, this is the so-called engine resource. This concept applies to all power units, including.

The resource of the engine depends on many factors. Any motor, even without partial intervention, will work for a short time. To extend its life, periodic replacement of working fluids and elements is required, which, due to their load, wear out very quickly. In the people, operations to replace fluids and wear items are called "replacement of consumables."

Engines that are installed on Priora are considered a new generation of power units mounted on domestic cars. A feature of the first units installed on the Priora, in contrast to subsequent generations, was that they had 2 valves for each cylinder. Subsequent engines were already equipped with 4 valves per cylinder. Each of these engines has specific operating and maintenance conditions.

Operating rules

Problem areas of the engine

During the operation, Priora owners have identified several weak points in the engine:

Weakness	Description
Liquid	Often this element fails. And if the driver did not pay attention to the readings of the temperature sensor in time, the breakdown of the pump will lead to serious consequences. The power plant will quickly overheat and jam. To then bring it into a working condition, you will have to grind the cylinders and replace the piston group.
Radiator	Often, leaks appear in the places of adhesions, they should be eliminated immediately.
Timing Belt Tensioner	If, with the engine running on the Priora, a hum appears under the hood in the area of \u200b\u200bthe timing belt cover, you should immediately take action. If a hum appears during a long trip, you can restore the performance of the roller with abundant lubrication. But this will not help for a long time, the video will still have to be changed.

If you ignore the hum, then this will lead to the fact that, due to the increased load, the timing belt will fly off or break. This will result in bent valves and engine overhaul.

Often, Priora owners complain about oil leakage from under the valve cover. This problem is corrected by replacing the cover gasket.

Powertrain maintenance

The frequency of maintenance of the Priora engine by the manufacturer is 15 thousand km. The first service is recommended to be carried out after 3 thousand km. The main attention should be paid to checking all attachment points of the attachment. During the same service, the first oil and oil filter change is carried out. If the engine is 8-valve, check the valve clearances. For a 16-valve engine, this measure is not needed, since hydraulic compensators are installed on this power unit. Similar work is carried out after 15 thousand km.

After reaching a value of 30 thousand km on the odometer, in addition to changing the oil and oil filter, the spark plugs and filters of the power system need to be replaced. Often at this value of the mileage, the timing tension roller gradually begins to fail. If the Priore has an 8-valve engine, it will not be superfluous to replace the valve cover gasket.

When crossing the value of 45 thousand km, the oil changes again. It is worth paying attention to the tension of the timing belt, and this applies to any engine, both 8-valve and 16-valve.

Motor testing

The next service is carried out after 60 thousand km. This time it is advisable to replace the candles as well. It may also be necessary to flush the power system, especially the throttle pipe. It is advisable to replace the idle sensor as well.

At 75 thousand km, the timing belt and the oxygen sensor are replaced on an 8-valve engine. By this time, the coolant will partially lose its properties, so it is also replaced.

Further maintenance work on Priors is repeated. Thus, it turns out that the minimum engine resource is more than 100 thousand km. In some cases, with proper and timely maintenance, the mileage on the Priora without major repairs can be over 200 thousand km. At the same time, any intervention in the engine design, the so-called tuning, of course, can increase the engine power, but this also reduces the resource of the power unit.

But even with all the observance of the rules for carrying out maintenance, over time it will be necessary to carry out major repairs, and compliance with these rules will only slightly delay the time before it.
