Test drive Audi A6 2005 - 2008 sedan

silver bullet

Since the newly purchased Kommersant Audi A6 appeared in the parking lot in front of the autopilot, we have the opportunity to make a really long test, because we have a long life together with this car ahead. And all her ups and downs can be tracked from the very beginning. True, I would not want to write ... and until the very end.
The first month. November 2004
The equipment, as it should be for the state apparatus, Spartan - 2.4 liters of a gasoline engine, 177 horsepower, front drive. Weight - 2105 kg, box - multitronics. Color is gray metallic. Climate control, CD changer. The navigation system is not installed, the phone too. But we will deal with this.
The issued car has 210 km on a speedometer. Half of them are trips of the head of the garage in instances. The fact of registration at the military registration and enlistment office was especially struck. It turns out that in this country the military is trying to put their paw even on other people's cars, and not just on other people's sons. (Do not forget to roll out Bottle to the head of the garage, he works all the time with representatives of the state - that's where sadness is where sadness comes from.)
The average volume of the engine immediately gives two positive effects - a calm ride around the city, where there is still nowhere to accelerate, and the modest fuel consumption. If only a house-office ride and in the evening to a restaurant (option is a pool), then you can refuel only two times a week. In the city, she eats up to 14.3 liters per hundred. The Multi Media Interface information system occupies traffic jams. It's nice and convenient to communicate with her. Almost like with backwear. Sometimes a computer shows what exactly plays on CD, with a signs of songs. Sometimes - no. This does not depend on the degree of piracy of the disk at all - all our discs are branded.
The multitronic system allows you to feel that it is still a fast machine. Management of the pseudo-mechanical box-multitronics-under the wheel in the form of clicking ears. More practical than on Allroad. With a small kilometer on the appliances, the ride brings pure uncomplicated pleasure. The only thing is that it’s time to change the rubber soon.
Suddenly the trouble came from where they did not wait. At the 840th km, the icon of the exhaust gases (ICE) caught fire on the speedometer. This happened 40 km after refueling on the street. Obruchev. It could be anything. We go to the service. On an authorized service on the street. Maksimov was nourished and said that these were problems with gasoline (service for free). I would like to believe that things are just like that. Indeed, on the same alload, such questions did not arise at the same gas stations.
Conclusion: Not all gas stations are equally harmful to your car. Some are much more harmful.
