Some boldly call it "SUV", the other is referred to the class of so-called "SUV." It looks like tinkering in the Audi A6 Avant Allroad, the designers initially wanted to take the path of least resistance. Well, just to increase ground clearance, give short weight Avant plastic - and that's that. But the work goes well, and turned the soul - we are on air suspension Allroad and sometimes - in the transmission downshifts. It seems to be off-roader, but not quite ... Let us dwell on the more popular in recent years the definition of "wagon-road." ROYAL PODVESKISamye first 2000 model year, the machines require a careful analysis of the pneumatic suspension and Troubleshooting condition levers. After some improvements the situation has improved, but the "second" owners of the first cars are expected options such investments. To replace the front suspension arms will go ($ 568 - the lower, $ 1600 - kit), body position sensor ($ 120-140 each) and the sealing membrane pnevmoelementov (at $ 327). In neat owners can leverage out and more than 100 thousand miles, participants also "rally-raid" on rough terrain, "killing" them (especially the lower) for 15-20 thousand. Sensors of the body early machines are afraid of dirt, water and salt. Two or three or more severe winter fords to them can be fatal. Servismenov strong recommendation to all current and potential owners: at negative air temperatures can break right off the bat. Start driving slowly to suspension "warmed up" and went to the operating temperature. A well-known problem in many SUVs - the front brake discs. New for the Allroad will cost $ 200. With them - how lucky lottery. If you win you change it only at the turn of 100 thousand km. In case of loss or unreasonable driving through deep puddles of autumn, after a series of intense inhibitions - after 10 thousand miles will get acquainted with a strong vibration in the pedal. The front brake pads ($ 300 + $ 66 paper) in the normal driving style work 35-50 thousand miles, rear ($ 100 + $ 42) - more. ABS sensors ($ 179) are 2-3 winters also fail. "All Terrain" does not mean "anything goes". Another item of expenditure "Easy Rider" - tires and wheels. "Roll out" drives so owners Allroad has occasionally, and "native" tires (Goodyear and Pirelli) rarely nursed for more than 30 thousand km. 225/55/17 set of tires will cost $ 1,200, alloy wheels - $ 3200. Another "rubber" issue - adjusting camber and toe ($ 126). This operation should be performed only on the company's service, so as to adjust the car to a competent not only to raise a certain height, but also perform a number of specific service requirements. REACTIVE DVIGATELMotorov early Allroad two. Petrol 2.7-liter twin-turbo and turbo 2,5 V6. Gasoline 250-horsepower engine was debuted this modification, together with Allroad, and for three years, his love is not just ambitious users, but also the master chip-tuning, which is said to have "readily removed" from a few dozen extra engine power. Acceleration to 100 km / h allegedly reduced to 5 seconds. Conclusive evidence of such achievements so far, and no statistics on failures and reduced service life after such an "unauthorized" intervention. Petrol 2.7 "biturbo" is not easy and very demanding. Digests only high quality gasoline, recognizes only the correct and timely service, prefer a neat ride. Like "only" typed a lot, and keep them - a problem for many owners tedious. Therefore, they have a broken turbine ($ 1,700 apiece), the engine control unit ($ 1011), then something else happens. A simple example: lack of timely replacement of filters, and maintenance of road conditions lead to failures in the transmission of information from the sensor air flow. The computer provides is not quite adequate command not only the engine but also an automatic gearbox. As a result - and jerking jerking during acceleration. On proven and very successful in the lineup Audi 2,5-liter turbodiesel should pay attention. He and reasonable fuel consumption (10-12 liters instead of 15-20 as a brother), and the vagaries of a lot less. It is worth remembering a few simple rules, including not only the textbook, "not to go to the last drop of fuel", but the frequency of oil change - at least every 10 thousand miles. DEAR REZINKATransmissii Allroad - six "mechanics" and "automatic" - reliable and issues usually do not cause. However, oil in the "machine" ($ 17 per liter) is better to be changed every 60 thousand miles. When operating in harsh conditions - even more often. Anthers SHRUS honestly stand two to three years. But if you compete in a cross with a tractor, you have to change them twice a year. In this duster is $ 45, and CV joints - $ 470. Costs are incomparable. If we go by "little things" that sometimes "strike" servo ventilation dampers conditioning system. To get to some of them are not so easy, and repairs could cost up to $ 150. Periodically need cleaning mechanisms windows. If not, the new mechanism will cost $ 120. Fuel gauge - an old song, familiar yet at A6. "Bring a sense of" electronic arrow on the dashboard, if you are already over warranty costs about $ 200. BOOK DZHUNGLEYV new car for yourself is always useful to study the instructions. In an unobtrusive form will tell you that your machine - not the SUV. Do you remember the design of the machine: a multi-link aluminum suspension, motors, turbo-charged, often and automatic transmissions, the abundance of electronic systems. A protection front and rear - the usual plastic. Among other things, to use the rear tow hook, you need to remove that same plastic imitation. On land, it's easy to make, in the mud, the process becomes more complicated. Stories about the extreme unreliability of the Allroad proceed from the lips of those owners who have not read the manual. Reckless assaults off-road vehicle can not simply can not withstand suspension, bursting at the seams transmission overheats the engine refuses to electronics ... In the first place goes to the front bumper. In most cases, severe "mud" pokatushki end repair, and then his replacement ($ 500 with the work). And when reversing bumper likened bulldozer blade. And sometimes left in the dirt. Therefore, we suggest that in the first place to look for "three-year" in Germany - where people and conscious, and less dirt. The owner usually tells you about the planned TO - these are limited to "claims" Allroad. In Russia, quite futile to look for the cheapest official "standard-hour" - Audi at the stations on all types of work are rules of time up to seconds and prices up to cents. But "try their luck" in search of spare parts it makes sense - even from authorized dealers price dispersion is sometimes as high as 30 percent.
