Hi Ari
It is a 29 MHZ 2 way radio. I had 3 of them and that is the only one I have left. As I was not using them I gave the rest away.
Regards
Ronnie

Hi Ari
Due to luck the small plastic removable cover above the rear washer bottle is perfect to have access to manually trigger the rear door ;D.

Ronnie

Hi All
I have noticed Jan uses an AG380 air filter. If you are using one please note it DOES NOT seal properly all the way around as it is slightly too large in diameter. It is fine on the lid side but not on the base as it cannot sit in the recess properly. I see on the forum, an AG715 is mentioned I will check one the next time I am in Scotburgh. Any one using an AG380 please check it closely especially where the connection is for the hose to the crank case.
Regards
Ronnie

Hi Ronnie
I've been using the AG380 and also the FRAM equivalent for years and I have not noticed that. I just fitted a new filter and it seems to fit Ok - but I'll have a closer look thanks!

Hi Ronnie.
When I bought the Lada it had a AG715 air filter in. Since then when I do a service, I replace the air filter with a Ag715 filter and had no problems. The other Lada's I serviced also had AG715 air filters in.
The GUD filter Cataloque also give the AG715 filter as the air filter for the Lada.
Regards.
Hercules.

Hi Marius
Please check carefully as it is a very poor fit in the base. I will have a close look at the AG715 this week.
Regards
Ronnie

Hi Hercules
I can find no reference to the AG380 on the forum. If the catalog states AG715 I would assume that is the correct filter. I would also assume any one who has serviced at Jan`s will have the incorrect filter.
Regards
Ronnie

HI Ronnie I checked this morning and the A380 seems to fit just fine in the base - unless I'm missing something? Check the sample pic - maybe there is a difference in the design somewhere? Anyway let us know when you get the AG715 Regards Marius

Hi
I have the FRAM CA 4354 air filter in. Not sure of the GUD equivalent.

Hi Ari
I used FRAM a few times - I think it was the CA643. Best to ask Midas etc for the equivalent.

Hi Marius
If you look at the top right hand side you will see a polished piece where the filter has been siting up high and not down in the base. It has got to sit high at one point as it to big in diameter to fit into the recess in the base. I will definitely change mine as I am not happy at all the way it is. I will let you know my thoughts after I see the AG715.
Regards
Ronnie

Hi Ronnie,Ari,Marius.
Fram CA4354 is the equivalent of the GUD AG715 and Fram CA643 is the equivalent of the GUD AG380.
The difference between the two filters is as follows:
AG380; ID = 178mm OD = 238mm H = 57mm
And AG715; ID = 187mm OD = 248mm H = 63mm
Regards.
Hercules.

Hi Hercules
Thanks for that, do you know which is the correct one for the niva?

Hi Hercules Thanks for the info - I was actually going to ask Ronnie for the measurements AG380; ID = 178mm OD = 238mm H = 57mm And AG715; ID = 187mm OD = 248mm H = 63mm The OD of the AG715 would make Ronnie's problem even worse. The A380 seems to fit nicely on my Niva and will definitely not be able to move around. Which one do you recommend? Regards Marius

Hi
In case no-one noticed there is a 6mm difference in height and if you have the wrong one you may as well not have one at all , for all the good its doing.

Hi All.
The AG715 is the correct filter and fit totally on the bottom and got a slight pressure on the lit to seal of perfectly. If one look at the photo's of Marius, you can see that the AG 350 actually sit on the inside dome at the breather side whitch seams that the filter ID is a bit small.
Regards
Hercules

Hi Hercules
The AG715's height would seem a better option - but I'm a bit worried about the OD. The original Russian part was slightly higher than the A380 but the rest was the same. Best to fit and see.

Hi Marius / Ari / Hercules I have taken the filter housing off and measured what the dimensions should be within. ID 178 OD 230 H 61 With the AG380 assembled in the housing it RATTLES . With the Filter in and top off, at the point where there is 2 recesses( you can see them in Marius`s photo) if you shine a torch between the filter and the side of the housing you can see the light under the filter. Mind you with the filter rattling this does not really matter!!!!. The AG715 must be worse as its OD will hold it even further above the recess. Does anyone have an original Russian filter to give us the measurements?. Regards Ronnie

Hi Ronnie
I see your point. I just had a look and the FRAM CA 4354 does sit high at the 2 recesses.
We need to find out the original russian size and also inform FRAM/GUD that their size for the lada is incorrect.
Those sizes may be for the 1600 because I've seen their filter housing looks different???

Hi Ari It is always difficult to describe things so that some one else can understand what you mean. In a nutshell the filter should fit in the recess in the housing IE ID 178 OD 230 This is the minimum ID and the maximum OD. I have never seen a 1600 so cannot comment. It worries me that you can get unfiltered air into the motor. I have cut a 3mm gasket in the meantime to make sure I am OK. I have fitted it into the recess in the base. Regards Ronnie

Hi Ronnie I kept most of the original Russian parts I replaced - unfortunately they had to go when we moved. The one thing I'm really sorry about is the shocks - they can be rebuild if you can get the parts The height difference was very marginal - probably no more than a mm. The rest was the same. The original oil filter was much smaller than the GUD/FRAM replacement though That can apparently influence oil pressure - but it seems fine. The gasket you made is a very good idea - rubber? Regards Marius

Hi Marius
I made the gasket out of red rubber which is used to make gaskets for the flanges in large water pipes. I bought it for gaskets at Maputo Harbour many years ago and never used it and could not return it for credit so took it home. ;D It seems to seal the filter nicely.
Regards
Ronnie

Hi Marius
Just remembered I was going to give you the oil filter part no`s.
Z95 is long
Z87 is very short. This is what is on mine.
License holder samples look good. I still like the Hammer and Sickle

Ronnie

Hi guys
Thanks for all the info on the various oil filters. I'll have a closer look when I have to change filters next time.

Hi All
I prefer the longer type filters - bought my Lada with a short filter, but changed to Z95 at the first oil change.
To my mind the longer filters should take longer to get blocked by dirt in the oil- due to the bigger filter area.
I could be wrong, but I believe that oils should be changed more regularly if the shorter type filters are used - due to the smaller filter area. (If both filters types have to filter the exact quantity of dirt , the smaller filter could get blocked sooner.)
The Z95's never caused any problems on my Lada.
Regards
Danie

Hi Danie
I seem to remember reading that the short filter helps oil pressure but surely this would be due to the short filter causing a restriction due to the smaller filter area. Like you I would say the longer filter with the bigger area would be better. I must say the small filter is very small!!!! Perhaps it is better to play safe and at least use the Z123 as mentioned by Hercules.
Regards
Ronnie
