Lada Vesta

The modern saloon and estate, and the first Lada developed with Renault-Nissan involvement — the alliance's electronics and some of its gearboxes appear here, so Renault information is occasionally the closer match. The 1.8 VAZ-21179 is the engine worth naming: it had a documented oil-consumption and piston history in early cars that produced misfire and catalyst codes on engines with no ignition fault at all.

Information, not instruction

CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.

Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:

  • The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
  • What you measured, not only what you replaced.
  • What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
