Characteristics of Audi A4.

Audi A4 2012.

Audi A4 2012 release has a bright, more aggressive personality both in the exterior and interior. As before, a full-wheel drive version is available. Body modifications Two: sedan and universal. In the manufacture of the interior, materials are used extremely high quality. Species deserve special attention - the speakers are so high-quality that even true music lovers are not considered the option of replacing standard speakers. The specialists are noted - the Quattro drive system significantly improves the stability of A4 in turns, compared with the versions with the front-wheel drive. Professional riders, still choose In this class, BMW 3-Series is due to a more successful weight distribution, and most of the usual buyers choose A4 due to harmony in design, manageability. Possible attention deserves fuel efficiency of the turbocharged two liter engine: it is almost the best in class (if not to take in Hybrid score). According to sophisticated reviewers, Audi A4 does not reach the power of the six-cylinder engine. What is special in the 2012 model year? A distinctive feature of the model is the interior, which uses only the most luxurious materials.

Opinion about Audi A4 2001-2004

New cars of this model are very expensive. However, the used fours are unfairly losing in price. Therefore, it is more profitable to buy them in the secondary market. Family car, very reliable and durable. Models produced since 2000, have a better quality compared to their senior brothers suspension.

After some time after the sedan appeared, the light saw the wagon avant, which was widespread in Europe, and a very attractive convertible. By configuration, the Four wins in many classmates. At all A4, climate control is installed, which is a plus in the conditions of our harsh weather conditions, 4 airbags, 2 curtains, power windows on the front glass, heated mirrors, heating front armchairs, fog lights, ABS, anti-offensive systems and anti-chassing, stereo system . Optionally, you can also put the headlights xenon, GPS, TV, rain and light sensor, sunroile with solar panels !!! Plastic in the cabin is just a standard. However, the compactness of the cabin should not be overlooked. Behind three passengers will be uncomfortable.

Body

The body is galvanized, which means that our harsh conditions are not afraid. Therefore, the manufacturer may afford to give a warranty for a period of 12 years! Corrosion occurs only on batted cars after some time after an accident. Therefore, be careful when buying a car after an accident and poor quality overhaul. LCP reliable. Scratches from stones are subsequently not oxidized. On the fourth model, not plastic, but durable extruded fenders. Change them will cost only 40 cu for a unit.

Details made of metal are also not afraid of rust. Some at the factory were closed with plastic covers. The bottom of the four is also under the protection of plastics, which performs an additional function of sound insulation. The drainage under the battery must be brushing in the fall so that the fluid does not fail the brake amplifier.

Motor

A wide variety, everyone will find a motor in the soul. Petrol 1.6 l (102 hp), 2 l (131 power), turbo-benzine 1.8 l (150, 163, 190 forces), V 6: 2.4 L (170 forces), 3 l (220 Forces). Turbodiesel 1.9 (100, 130 forces), V 6 2.5 L (163,180 forces).

Engine oil recommend pouring through 18,000 km. Gasoline motors are durable. Ignition coils may be disturbed (burned due to fluid intimidated). Often, without the cause of the junk, the oil level controller. In general, it is necessary to be attentive here, as an average of 1000 km takes 0.7 liters of oil. The record holder for the use of oil is the engine with a volume of 2 l (131 hp). The reason in the error assembly of some cars: the average rings of compression are in the overturned position. Also rings fold it, if sulfur and resin fall into them. Of all, a 2-liter motor with 20 valves is distinguished: the dimensional operation of the engine during any revolutions. What is a consequence of the operation of the injection system with a changing length of the intake manifold. If you notice the reduction in power, make sure that the system works correctly.

Extremely popular in our country Turbobenzine 1.8 liters. However, he arrogantly to the oil. Therefore, 0 (5) W-40 is recommended for it. To cool the turbo-entertainment after arriving at the destination before the motor, you should wait a bit. Also for this purpose you can put a timer. So the turbine will serve much longer. In this model, the problem may occur with the phase control mechanism. The cover of the cover is depicted, and the EGN is already at 130,000 km fail.

The most trouble-free gasoline engines with 6 cylinders. However, their repair in turn is twice as expensive than the repair of other motors. A belt of the gas distribution mechanism and rollers will have to be changed after 110,000 km.

From diesel engines the most adequate 1.9 liter. More powerful, respectively, arrogant. Their most frequent diseases are: problems with compressions in new cars, depressurization of the valve cover, knee shaft, crankcase, and so on. By the way, in Moscow, this model is exceptional is popular, including among cars for rent. And even possible rent in Moscow car with driver

Control, Transmission

The version of Coatro with a full drive is the most prestigious. No complaints for differential Torsen. The anti-test system and the ESP copy the blocking of differentials. However, a used front-wheel drive due to lower cost is greater popularity.

The most reliable are the MCPP-5 and MCPP-6. The replacement of oil in them is not required, but experts advise refreshing the oil in 120,000 km. The standard automatic transmission of the Titonik is offered only with the V6 engine. Multitronic is put on the front drive with a motor in 130 forces. Transfer switches smoothly, however, there is no sound noise at high speed. On the first such switching models were carried out by jerks - a set of devices for transmitting the rotational motion from one shaft to another came into disrepair. On cars since 2003 These devices made from other raw materials are installed, their number is increased. Therefore, switching is carried out smoothly, unless, of course, no fluffle of electronics. This problem is solved in the cabin. The transmission control unit fails for almost every car, whose year is over 2005. The new unit costs about 40,000 rubles.

Boots when driving road irregularities indicate that the drive tree came into disrepair. Change with steering column. Traction durable.

Chassis

Replacing the front running and intersecting levers of the rear chassis will cost expensive, as in order to reduce the mass, they are made of aluminum. After 80,000 km can disturb the ball. Replacement with aluminum levers. However, the second-generation pendant fours is still more reliable. Racks and stabilizer bushings withstand 90,000 km. Rear levers require replacement after 140,000 km. Shock absorbers live to 110,000 km.

The replacement of the pads is made approximately in 25,000 km.

Electronics

Despite the stuffing of the auto electronics, the problems with it arise in rare cases. The troubles can deliver the ECP blocks on the first generation car. In new models, the devices of janitors are oxidized, the contacts of Earbegs are departed. These problems are solved easily.

Used car no older than 5 years will cost a minimum of 500,000 rubles.

Thus, the advantages of Audi include brand authority, good complete set, high-quality performance, excellent steering, comfort. And the disadvantage of this brand is expensive service. All-wheel drive versions of the fourth model with a bulk engine will cost a little cheaper than the sixth model with a less powerful engine.
