I closed the window, and cut off as the spring. Twittering birds remained outside, thick glass door Audi A6. A riot of smells ceased improved climate control - a signal of additional air quality sensor electronics certainly included recirculation mode, to protect me from allergenic flowers pyltsy.Bolee thick door glass and improved climate control - this is innovation, which got upgraded cars Audi A6. What else distinguishes the vehicle model year 2002? OUTSIDE distinguish "postrestaylingovy" Audi A6 cars from previous releases is very difficult. Changes at least! However, the new Mercedes E-Class is also possible to identify except by the modified front end, the exterior mirrors to "turn signals" yes on taillights. A "five" BMW - and at all only on "points" in lighting lamps rims included marker lights. What do you want from the Audi A6? Four years ago these machines with their unusual way monolithic look of the aliens near future. Now the future has come, and A6 model perfectly fit into the current aesthetics. It is up to date - and therefore not in need of serious obnovlenii.Ogorchaet one. Now that a design with two front end edged shiny frame falshradiatornoy bars - top and bottom, integrated into the bumper - it became the standard for the entire range of Audi, I finally lost his bearings in the exterior ingolshtadtskih machines. If the earlier of "sixes" looked so only the most powerful version of the V-shaped "eights" of 4.2 liters, it is now seen from the front to distinguish Audi A4, A6 and A8 is almost impossible! Only in the profile ... But instead of the right mirror - a small and uncomfortable, almost uniform with all models of VW, - the Audi A6 is finally mirror "adult." With a large body and large optical element. But at the same aerodynamic noise down! On this work and referred thick door glass, and new wiper blades. According to experts ingolshtadtskie, at 140 km / h the noise level inside the Audi A6 upgraded to 2 dB lower than the previous machines vypuskov.Vprochem, special charges of excessive noise, "six" and had not deserved. We are reproached for the machines more. For example, for the fact that the A6 model does not deliver the same driving pleasure as the BMW fifth series. Or not very accurate work of "automatic" Tiptronic ... Now I had a chance to check out and this and much more. At my disposal was almost the entire range of sedans and station wagons Audi A6 2002 model year, which includes no fewer than 48 different versions! Seven gasoline engines, two turbo-diesel, four different transmissions - five-and six-speed "engineer", "automatic" Tiptronic and unique klinotsepnoy CVT Multitronic. Finally, front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive transmission quattro.Ya managed to ride only on the seven vehicles. But the information in those few hours nemalo.Vo learned first, then update changed the behavior of some car-sixth of the series. Machines have become slightly stiffer solid collected - now the model in the A6 is more like a new "four." It seemed that in the fast corners Audi A6 behaves more interesting. So, no wonder the engineers increased the body rigidity A6 and revised spring and damper characteristics. A pair of test vehicles was equipped with a Servotronic power steering further elaborated with a variable reactive action - such mechanisms the Audi A6 can be ordered for a fee. Earlier work "Servotronic" feel in the Audi was very difficult. But now everything is fine - up to 70-80 km / h effort on the steering wheel is small, and then poured a nice bagel noticeable weight, which helps to just drive the car on the freeway. And even when the speed drops to 60 km / h, bagel continues to resist when cornering. And only at speeds below 50 km / h modified Servotronis "dissolve" the wheel, and returns him to "parking" legkost.A on machines with conventional hydraulic steering-wheel in the parking mode heavy, that does not fit with the image of a large and reputable avtomobilya.Gamma engine has undergone minor changes . Since the 125-strong naturally aspirated engine of 1.8 liters as the power argegata "entry level" buyers Audi A6 popularity is not used, then lower the bar a little bit of power lifted - under the hood Audi A6 appeared two-liter 130-strong "Quartet" of the Audi A4. Is there enough power for a car weighing 1400 kg? For a leisurely ride - quite! Tyagovity and flexible, the new two-liter engine is quite satisfied with the driver without ambition. Of course, the start must be careful and have to switch to overtake on the two programs down. But the engine pulls hard without complaining the car in fifth gear even at 50 km / h. In addition, in conjunction with a two-liter engine available CVT Multitronic. Promise that the average fuel consumption of such a machine would be the lowest among all petrol versions of Audi A6 - even lower than that of two-liter car with the "mechanics"! But 150 horsepower fit "six" is still more than 130. So what version of Audi A6 1.8T turbo engine with low pressure is likely to remain among the most popular low-cost versions of the gasoline cars. Then the "ascending" should be a well-known V6 engine of 2.4 liters, which now develops 170 hp But the role of the former V-shaped "six" 2.8-liter will now perform a more powerful three-liter engine, which has already debuted on the Audi A4. Excellent motor! Its 220 hp make the Audi A6 in a fast, dynamic car. Excellent traction at the "bottoms". Of excitement after the 2000 r / min when the system variable valve timing valve overlap increases to the maximum. Then, after 4000 r / min, followed by another pickup - when the intake manifold with variable length is switched to "short" way of the intake air. And a powerful smooth acceleration up to maximum of 7000 / min...Pravda at high revs the engine roar. In addition, such positive emotions I felt at the wheel only front wheel drive car with a five-speed manual transmission. When I moved after him for four-wheel drive Audi A6 3.0 quattro, engine replaced though! And acceleration is not as playful, and control rod not udobno.Pochemu? First, the yoke-wheel drive transmission heavier car to 110 kg and deprives it of monoprivodnoy ease. And secondly, Audi A6 with a three-liter engine in the version of quattro is equipped with six "mechanics". And it works obviously worse conventional five-speed gearbox on monoprivodnyh versions. Of lever greater clarity inclusions below. And most importantly - the selection of gear ratios appeared not so successful. And it is very annoying. After all, Russia is pressing wheel drive version the three-liter car! Maybe, Tiptronic remove all the problems? Updated "machine" was tested on a more powerful version of Audi A6 2.7T quattro. On machines in 2002 model year, finally have a "sports" mode adaptive electronics, which provides an additional, lower position selector lever. It became a little brighter, but not much. Unfortunately, Tiptronic Audi A6 at all as inferior to the adequacy of responses to the movement of the gas pedal "automatic" Steptronic on cars BMW. Although for Audi, and BMW "machine" produces the same firm ZF.Vozmozhno, precisely because of the "machine" 250-hp turbo version of Audi A6 2.7T much of an impression on me, not made. I would prefer it to expensive and complex unit with two turbochargers conventional three-liter "six" without charge. And cheaper, and gambling ... As for the "automatic" Audi, their distinct advantage - the ability to shift gears manually using the very handy buttons on the steering wheel. And such "steering" control may be not only the usual "automatic", but variable speed Multitronic, for which the memory of control electronics incorporated six fixed "stages". However, this variator we talked in detail and a half years ago at the debut of this version of the continuously variable transmissions for Audi A6 2.8 multitronic. Since then migrated to klinotsepnoy CVT Audi A4, and up to date on "Six" Multitronic available on front-drive versions, with five different engines. For example, I rode on the two "Variable speed" machines - a 150-horsepower 1.8T and from 155-horsepower turbodiesel 2.5 TDI. All is good, but when you start from the place of the current Multitronic too long, "thinks" - noticeably longer than the usual "automatic". Also, I distinctly remember the very first Variable speed sedan Audi A6 2.8 multitronic. He has such delays were not! Maybe ingolshtadtskie engineers just relaxed, resting on its laurels? Indeed, in Europe, such CVTs for engines with a torque of 300 Nm to no vypuskaet.Naposledok I could not resist the temptation and just a few minutes took the Audi A6 1.9 TDI with turbo-diesel equipped with individual pump-injector for each cylinder. Fantastic engine! Single-shaft, vosmiklapanny (all other diesel engines in the Audi range has four valves per cylinder, and gasoline engines - and at five valves). But while his power-liter higher than that of two-liter 130-horsepower gasoline engine! A draft just crazy - turbovzryv after 1500 r / min and a strong promotion of up to 5000 rev / min. True, the noise and vibrations are strong. But to estimate the average fuel consumption - up to 1,200 miles on one filling! It is interesting that, according to the original statistics, almost half of all sold in 2000, Audi A6 car was equipped with a turbodiesel. In addition, with the advent of the variator Multitronic buyers have become more ordered "six" with automatic transmissions - the share of such machines has increased from 37% to 53%. And on the quattro versions had 46% of all sales. In Germany, for instance, it was Audi A6 quattro all-wheel drive is the leader among all passenger mashin.V Russia relationship a bit different - we bought turbodiesels rare. But four-wheel drive and the "machine" we love even more than in Europe. By the way, the range for the Russian market is limited - we will be officially delivered 19 upgraded versions of sedans and station wagons Audi A6, 9 ??of which can be equipped with all-wheel drive transmission. And the most popular engines, most likely two petrol "Six" - the old 2.4 liter and a new three-liter.
