In comparison with "classmates" of such formidable competitors as the "Mercedes" and BMW, the price of this car is not too high. Hence the steady demand. For example, a car in 1988 in the following configuration: full power accessories, power steering, ABS, radio, Mul-T-Lock, Auto, etc. can be purchased for 9000 dollars. And the average price of cars of different years of release are as follows: 1985 - 5, 5 thousand $, 1987 - $ 7 thousand, 1989 - $ 9.5 thousand. What is the secret of success "Audi-100" in our market? This model combines the excellent dynamic performance and acute administration, economy, comfort, a large amount of interior and luggage compartment (570 liters!). At the same time the car is reliable and undemanding. In addition, spare parts for "Audi" (relatively cheap) to get much easier than the BMW or the "Alfa Romeo". The history of "Audi-100" began with a concept car "Audi Forshungauto" contours of which were almost completely transferred to the 44th body, resulting in a drag coefficient was - Sh = 0.3. Truly outstanding figures for August 1982, when the car was off the production line. Thanks to an ingenious form of aerodynamic car still looks modern and young. The silhouette of this car, unlike many of today's "remnants", is remembered for all time. In July 1983, on the basis of "weave" comes with a wagon body "Avant." In September 1985 the body begin to galvanize. In January 1988, is reversed in part and Salon - body. In November 1990, replaced by the 44th comes the body of C4. It is believed that the 44th body on the car, even the first years of registration should not bother the owner. On most machines - strong anticorrosive, shields in the arches of the wheels, plastic door sills, etc. Many are galvanized. And yet the owners themselves prefer to make corrosion process again, and it seems to make sense, if you're going to operate a car in the winter. The plant itself gave a guarantee against rust perforation for 10 years. According to some studies used cars, "Audi-100" - the undisputed leader in durability. Of course, if the car was in an accident and improve body, corrosion immediately "take its toll." Despite the fact that below a "weave" is almost nothing to catch on - the bottom is flat, all the hoses and cables are well protected, ground clearance is large enough and the tires "shod" in the 14 - or 15-inch wheels, one should not forget that " Audi "still a car, rather than Land Rover. Let's look under the hood now. The layout of units is quite dense, and at first glance it seems that there simply can not stick your arm. On the one hand, the repair of such closeness creates problems (for example, if you want to take the oil filter), but on the other - the engine compartment is almost always clean. Engine range consists of 25 items, including diesel, which, however, it is best to ignore. Russian winter, the quality of diesel fuel and number of refills with diesel fuel even in a metropolis like Moscow, negate all the advantages of reliable and sverhekonomichnyh diesels. Gasoline engine - in-line, four-or five-cylinder, is longitudinally in front of the front axle. This somewhat unusual decision (including the front-construction) is usually to provide better weight distribution on the axles. Five-cylinder engine are considered less reliable than the four-cylinder, but these motors with the correct operation "go" several hundred thousand kilometers. At KU series engines installed hydraulic lifters valves, so when the engine is not warmed up, let's tap. By the way, do not be alarmed if you hear "work" of the engine after the engine has stopped and you're out of cars: small electrical Bosch automatically, and the noise from air movement, which drives the impeller, very similar to the sound of the engine. The scope and power of engines varies from 1800 to 2300 cm 3 and from 75 to 137 hp respectively. Motors good "pull" both at low and at high speeds without interfering with the driver to choose a familiar mode of motion, and forgiving psevdosportivnuyu "Zhigulevskoe" ride with maximum "promotion" to high speed for each gear. "Weaving" allows the driver to start with temperamental lights to the front wheels slip. There are a carburetor (carburetor Pierburg 1B3, Pierburg 2E2, Keihin), and injection engines (fuel injection system of mechanical Bosch K-Jetronic and KE-Jetronic). Of course, neither one nor the other system is not immune from damage, but if happens to fail in the power system, carburetor adjust easier than the injector. Despite the fact that the engines "Audi" forgiving application of fuel with a lower than that provided instruction octane, "gourmet" technique does not tolerate dirt, water and lead in gasoline, so the 76th are requested not to worry. If your machine is installed ignition system TSZ-H or VEZ, you can use the 95 th and 92 th gasoline. Tank with a capacity of 80 liters of fuel, obviously intended for the German autobahns and other foreign Highway. If you protect yourself from harmful contaminants in the fuel did not succeed, many owners prefer to cut cars 'baked' catalyst. Dismantle the catalyst is much easier and cheaper than a new place. But even without the catalyst normally adjusted engine, these machines are free to check on JI. When idling is working exhaust system produces a soft sound like a hiss, and almost transparent smoke comes out smooth and powerful flow. To ensure that the engine worked like a clock, it is recommended to use motor oil API SF, APISG with a viscosity of SAE 15 or SAE 20W40 W40 for the summer and SAE10W30 or SAE 10W40 for winter. Frequency of oil changes - every 15 thousand miles. Successful technical decisions grip (dry single plate with a central diaphragm spring) is long, up to 100 sq km. Drive - cable for vehicles with four-cylinder engines and hydraulic - with five-cylinder. Apply firm drives Sachs. On many machines, falling to us from Europe, the clutch has been replaced, as the mileage of these cars are usually more than one hundred thousand. Transmission, both mechanical four-or five-speed and automatic, which were set to order, not led up any of the owners of respondents' acres. " PPC machines, even with very high mileage features quiet operation, the clarity of the gear lever and short passages. You can start with the second transmission, driving without switching up to 100 km / h and acceleration at the fifth start from 60 km / h, and the car and in this case quickly and steadily picking up speed, leaving behind even the "Nine" and "tens". Switching scheme - "Zhiguli." Automatic Transmission just "thoughtful", but this is not the engine binds frisky. Although the factory manual specifies that the oil in a "machine" filled for life, on cars with high mileage mechanics recommend changing it about every 70 thousand miles. For manual transmissions used oil GL4 and API classification GL5 for automatic or ATF Dextron. The power steering, so the park, despite the large size machines (Length - 4790 mm, width - 1815 mm), is a pleasure. Incidentally, the parking lot makes small cars for a long turning radius of just 5.6 m. On a narrow street car can turn around at once. Wheels (if installed power) can be rotated on the spot with just one finger. Relationship with the wheels, especially at high speeds is not lost. Of course, this is not "sharp" wheel, as in "eight" and "nine", but not as "cotton", as "Americans." It is always possible to determine in what position are the wheels. To not leaking liquid from the mechanism hydrostrengthening, owners of "hectare" is recommended to check before traveling long distances tightness and oil level Liquide ATF fluid or G002. Brakes with ABS allows the driver, even a beginner to feel confident in any situation. The ABS, which, however, you can disable the button on the console, it is felt by a short, quick shocks to the brake pedal. Dual system, all brakes are disc, unventilated on the early models with four-cylinder engines, and vented (front) on machines with five-cylinder. In winter, after parking in the garages, some machines jammed piston rear brake cylinders, and while driving feels worsening dynamics, reduced brake performance, increased fuel consumption. When driving at low speed as the outside of the car heard a soft sound from the friction of metal parts. Lubricating the piston means such as WD-40 and mechanically swinging them, you will easily cope with this malfunction. It is recommended that also "bleed" braking system, brake fluid DOT3 or DOT4. To recover from a manual brake to adjust the length of the cable or replace it. The suspension is very simple. Front - such as "McPherson". Rear - independent, flexible connective linkage with a cross-bar, hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers and double-acting Boge screw coil springs. On some machines, installed a system of regulation of body height. This site is also quite reliable. Electrical equipment usually does not cause any complaints. On one of the machines under strong shaking twice turned down the rear position lamp. The owner of the "weave" was amazed how easy it was to solve the problem. He just opened the trunk, hit a pair of plastic latches on the back of the lamp, took out the bulb and put a new one. Everything! "Audi-100" in general well suited for repair. For example, the front wings are mounted on the bolt, and a mechanic of any skill level can take them off and put in place for several minutes. Doors must be separated into two halves. Separately removable headlights, bumper, front panel, shields and arches etc. Examining the structure machine, you can get behind the wheel. Triggered central locking. "Thick" the door opens easily and widely, as if inviting the driver in the spacious interior. By the way, stores the most recent models of "Audi" is very similar to their predecessors, since "Audi-100" with "44th" body: the same materials of excellent quality, the same flowing lines, the same space. Inside - weight of shelves and pockets for small items, a large glove box, the lid is opened downwards, which does not allow things to fall out. And in the pocket on the driver's door can be, for example, a bottle of water - not even open, it does not shed, smoothness, stability and ability to take turns at high speed at the "Audi-100" is simply exemplary. Among the Russian motorists there is the phrase "German seat." Judging from the seats, "Audi-100", the Germans really know in this sense. To the best of hard back and suitable cushion height and width of any driver. The back also has a well-pronounced lateral support. In such a seat can be performed without fatigue for many hours. The driver's seat is adjustable in length, angle and height of the seat back cushion (2 positions). In the urban bustle, when the seat is transferred to the upper position, the driver of growth of about 180 cm long seen the edge of bonnet. In this case over his head is a decent margin for adjustment, which may in part be "eat" built-in metal door (optional). Note that some owners of "Audi-100" say about the various failures of the mechanical opening - closing the hatch. Sometimes teeth grinding plastic gears, misalignment of the hatch seal leakage. But all these little things are removed or adjusted by replacing inexpensive parts. In the back seat and not closely together. For two there is a wide folding armrest. All seats in a car fitted with inertia seat belts for driver and front passenger - with height adjustment. The instrument panel is wide, with built-in speakers, made of elastic material travmobezopasnoy excellent quality. On the "acres" of the first issues she angular, in the fashion of the early Eighties, in cars manufactured after 1988 - an oval. The central place occupied in the instrument cluster speedometer, tachometer and a few arrow signs and warning lights. The traditional "audievsky" visor allows you to read, even in very bright sun. The steering wheel is located conveniently, made of an elastic-slip material. The rim of sports lovers "bagels." Handle checkpoint is located just near at hand, wrapped in a bag and comes with a massive comfortable grip. Do not let us down and pedals. Themselves pedals are designed for little effort and therefore quite sensitive - the car immediately executes all the commands the driver. The clutch pedal a little too big, but easy to get used to it. Even when slightly pushed back seat driver of average height can be almost fully extend the left leg for the rest. All switches are conveniently located in front of the driver, are readily available, the symbols on them large and clear. A car with an engine capacity of 2.3 L accelerated to "hundreds" for 10 seconds and top speed is beyond 200 km / h. At the same build quality cars, comfort suspension, engine power, ease of operation and excellent aerodynamics conceal the sense of speed. For example, at a speed of 150 km / h inside the car windows closed you can talk without raising his voice. It is this quality car and carries the risk of major and minor accidents. Therefore I would like to conclude our story with the words: "Despite the great potential," Audi-100 "still a family car, so if you want to" chase "all of the above - is not for you, look yourself something posportivnee and speed and the "acceleration" "Audi" is not needed in order to get into an accident, but in order to be happily avoided. This is a serious machine for serious people. "
