Test Drive Audi Allroad Since 2012 Universal
Selecting heart
Concept-car of pre-seed Audi Allroad Quattro was introduced in 1998 and immediately interested the public not so much appearance as the technical side. And although Quattro's four-wheel drive was in most concern cars, Audi offered something more than a all-wheel drive station wagon. The car was to compete in a new class, where the Swedish and Japanese models were settled at that time. The Audi Allroad of the first generation is a seriously recycled A6 AVANT. Outside the car received extended wheeled arches, plastic protection was installed in a circle. The serial equipment included active pneumatic suspension with the possibility of regulating the road lumen. Engineers Audi managed to combine, it would seem incompatible: the comfort of the sedan, the dynamics and chairs of a sports car, and the possibilities for off-road can envy some crossovers.
Thanks to the Audi body galvanizing, gives a twelve-year-old warranty from end-to-end corrosion. The appearance of rust most likely suggests that the car visited the accident and was poorly restored.
The interior of the car is made in strict tones. All management bodies are clearly grouped and cause instant addiction, and it is not difficult to get a comfortable chair. The level of acoustic comfort is quite high. Screensions in the cabin do not annoy the saddle even on the earliest copies.
The car is equipped with complex electronics, but it is quite reliable and in most cases does not present unpleasant surprises. Often throws the wiper trapeze ($ 160 with work) the disease is almost all cars of the concern. The body position sensors ($ 130 per piece) do not like dirt and often fail. Sometimes the fuel level sensor can be boring ($ 200). There are defects of displays on the dashboard.
Many cars fell into Russia from the USA. First of all, it is caused by a slightly lower initial price of cars from behind the ocean. As a rule, gasoline versions were imported to the maximum configuration on the machine. Often, their condition turns out to be worse than European versions due to the specifics of the mentality of American drivers. Yes, and some parts of the Americans have their own, original. Europeans are often equipped with diesel and have a higher cost. At the same time, find a car from Europe in good condition is more common. Cars with Russian registration, on the one hand, have a transparent service story, which can be checked if desired, and with the other, our operating conditions are strongly affected by the state of vehicles. In any case, before purchasing a machine with mileage, a thorough examination of its state is simply necessary.
Under the hood of the Audi Allroad installed only three engines. Line of gasoline engines opens the V6 Biturbo with a volume of 2.7 liters (250 hp). This unit is distinguished by outstanding elasticity in almost the entire turn range due to the presence of two turbines. Thanks to this solution, the motor has practically no so-called turboyama. As a result, the acceleration of the projectile weighing the two tons occurs in less than 8 seconds to hundreds.
The aggregate itself is quite reliable, but it is very demanding for competent and timely maintenance. The complexity of the design and the mass of attachments requiring at large runs of the service and repair may be unpleasant to surprise even a fairly wealthy owner. Thus, it is necessary to constantly monitor the level and condition of the oil and immediately do not join the motor after an active ride, but it is better to install a turbo-timer. Otherwise, you can get on the replacement of turbines, the cost of which is simply an astronomical about $ 5,000 per pair in the original performance (it is recommended to change both). When using non-original items of good quality, spending can be reduced more than twice. More about $ 700 must be given for work. After all, to replace turbines you need to remove the motor. With the competent operation, they go, as a rule, more than 200,000 km.
Every 90,000 km it is necessary to change the timing belt with rollers and tensioners. Since when replacing it has to perform a large amount of work, the masters are recommended to replace at the same time and the pump. As a result, the sum follows $ 1000. Candles withstand on our gasoline about 30,000 km and empty the wallet for another $ 180.
Motor V8 with a volume of 4.2 liters and a capacity of 300 hp It may seem more loyal to his owner's wallet. After all, there are no expensive turbines here, and the GDM drive is carried out using a chain. If you do not overheat the unit and change the oil in a timely manner, it is able to retire more than 500,000 km. However, such copies stand in the secondary market much more expensive. It is also necessary to take into account that the consumption of gasoline with active ride can calmly reach up to 30 liters. Yes, and oil consumption of about 500 grams per thousand is considered the norm. If you ride with a reduced oil level, you can get on the replacement of hydrocompensators (40 pieces) of about $ 1000.
Diesel TDI V6 volume of 2.5 liters may have under the hood of 180 or 163 hp Depending on the settings and year of release. The unit has excellent traction characteristics, especially on the bottoms, and the consumption of diesel fuel is almost two times less than that of gasoline versions. It is this motor that makes the content of the car rather economical in Europe. In Russia, its resource falls several times due to poor-quality dielary. If the TNVD will take, then you will have to upload about $ 5,000 for a new item! The oil replacement is recommended to do approximately every 7000 km of run. In the event of a turbine failure, you will have to fork out $ 2500 for the original part.
On ALROAD of the first generation, a six-speed manual transmission and a five-speed automatic transmission were installed. The V8 motor was completed only with a machine gun. All boxes are quite reliable. Options with mechanics have a reduced transmission in their arsenal, which greatly facilitates the fight against off-road. So, with the correct operation, the replacement of the clutch on the mechanics is required closer to 150,000 km ($ 1000). Machines require replacement of oil every 60,000 km, and when hard it is recommended to reduce this interval. If you do not change the oil in time, then you can get to repair the box. It will pull out of a minimum of $ 2000 from the wallet.
Does not deliver the trouble and legendary four-wheel drive Quattro. The mechanical intersectoral differential Torsen, equipped with an electronic blocking system, under normal conditions transmits a torque in the proportion of 50:50, and in the case of slipping, it turns up to 2/3 times on the bridge, requiring support. The main rule of operation does not put different rubber, otherwise the differential will perceive it as slipping and quickly fails.
Active pneumatic suspension with the ability to regulate the road lumen allowed Audi to put many crossovers on the blades. Indeed, in the maximum possible upper position, the clearance reaches 208 mm (used to overcome obstacles at minimum speed). The remaining three positions depend on speed: up to 80 km / h 192 mm, from 80 to 120 km / h 167 mm, and at 120 km / h, the car is lowered to 142 mm. Thanks to the presence of pneumatics, engineers managed to achieve excellent smoothness, which had a positive effect on comfort. However, with all the advantages of the suspension with a large spoon, the value of its elements is the cost of its elements. This is especially true of the pneumatic part. So, if you often ride outside asphalt, then pneumo-ballons suffer the first ($ 650 per piece front, $ 500 rear). Crashing mud, they over time lose hermetics. So that the elements do not fail prematurely, it is recommended to constantly remove dirt from them during washing. In winter, the ice, which wipes the balloon is often the cause of depressurization, which is sooner or late. Riding with pneumatic cylinders will disable a pneumatic suspension compressor, the cost of which is about $ 2000.
Do not forget about the mechanical part. Here, too, will not be expensive. Naturally, the function of four-dimensional aluminum suspension directly depends on the operating conditions. The front suspension levers change on average through 60,000 km (the upper $ 120 per lever, the lower $ 250). Shock absorbers ($ 410 front, $ 500 rear) may die closer to 100,000 km. The tips of the steering is wear out about every 50,000 km ($ 150 with work). The rear suspension was stronger than the front. There are approximately 80,000 km, silent blocks of levers change (about $ 600). The brake system is quite reliable and effective. The front pads are withstanding about 20,000 km ($ 230), and the discs up to 60,000 km ($ 240). More abrupt rear brakes. The pads are wearing closer to 40,000 km ($ 70), and the discs to 80,000 km ($ 140). When using a high-quality unoriginal, the cost of spare parts, as a rule, is reduced by one and a half times, which makes it easier to the car content. The steering rack does not deliver trouble even with large runs.

Unlike new Audi Allroad, instances with mileage are not in great demand due to the high cost of maintenance and spare parts. Hence the rather attractive price tag of used options. The price range for ALLOD begins from 450,000 rubles for the car of the first years of release and ends closer to 850,000 rubles per car 2005.
EXCURSION
Audi Allroad Quattro went to the series in 1999. The first attempt of the concern to conquer the market for high passability of premium-class was crowned with success. The car was eagerly disassembled, despite the clearly overstated price tag. Initially, AllROD was put on a 2.7 BITURBO gasoline engine (250 hp) and 2,5-liter turbodiesel (180 hp). In addition to the machine, a manual box with a downstream transmission was available. In 2002, the Motor V8 of 4.2 liters was debuted, aggregated only with a five-speed automatic machine. From mid-2003, the diesel engine could have a capacity of 163 hp
In 2006, a second generation of model appeared. Significantly expanded gamma engines. Three gasoline engines were offered to choose from (3.2 FSI 255 hp, 3.0 TFSI 290 hp and 4.2 FSI 350 hp) and two diesel engines (2.7 TDI 180 hp and 3.0 TDI 233 hp).
Since 2009, the younger model A4 Allroad has become available. Gamma Motors opens gasoline 2.0 TFSI (211 hp). Following Diesels 2.0 TDI (170 hp) and 3.0 TDI (240 hp).
Audi Allroad Machine image, emphasizing the owner's status. Its main element is still not dusty primer, but even autobahn. Many forget this and use it as a jeep, and the car later takes possess the owners of insane cars for repairs. But with proper operation, the maintenance of this car is not more expensive than the sedan of the business class.
FITTING
Submitted on the Audi Allroad 2,7 Biturbo illustrations of the 2002 release with a mileage of 130,000 km was originally acquired in Russia. During this time, the car changed two owners. The last owner of the car is about a year. Immediately after the purchase, the tightness of the rear pneumobalon was restored. During this time, Allroad showed himself as a fairly reliable car. Soon, it will be necessary to replace something in the front suspension.
The average price range on similar specimens in a decent state is now about 550,000 rubles. The owner is pleased with the car and in the near future is not going to sell it.
