Audi 80 B4. Car for practical people.

WHAT YOU LIKE IT VERY ... Trump card "Audi" in the fight against competitors is galvanized body, perfectly protected from corrosion. Incidentally, the famous ZZZ nothing to do with the triple (!) Are not galvanized. It's just three empty seats in the VIN-number that the manufacturer fills the letters Z, apparently, the word zero (zero). So, gentlemen, buyers, read the instruction manual is written there. The second advantage - the relative simplicity of design and, consequently, high maintainability. Despite the fact that "Audi" and "Volkswagen" - "twins", the quality of finishing and assembly of interior in "Audi" is much higher, and if the previous owner treated the car more or less accurately, a salon, and after many years of operation remains excellent condition. Many appreciate the "vosmidesyatku" for the low-key but solid appearance. At the same time the body has high torsional stiffness: a jack posted on the car door opened and closed as easily as those standing on all four wheels. The rear seat backs fold in the ratio 40:60, which increases the possibility of transportation of goods. WHAT DO YOU LIKE IT IS NOT VERY ... Old disease "Audi" - leaking power steering. It should be used to top up the system recommended by the manufacturer only liquid. The same can be found in the package FEBI. The use of other fluids, for example, LHM, can only exacerbate the situation. Due to the nature of the body aerodynamics at speeds above 120 km / h the car stays a bit worse on the road, and be careful, because understeer "vosmidesyatki" and so close to redundant. Rear of the strongly curved side windows a little space at the level of the head. YOU did not like ... QUALITY AND RELIABILITY Gasoline Engines. The two-liter gasoline engine, replacing the "vsefolksvagenovskomu" 1.8 liter engine, has two versions - 90 and 115 liters. with. Preferable to the second engine, not only because of the power, but also because it is equipped with multiple injection-octane as a proofreader, it is easier adaptable to the unstable fuel quality. 90-strong modification has the same central injection Monojetronic, at the mention of which all the mechanics dissatisfied frown. The increase of up to two liters a negative impact on the ability of the engine to operate at high speed - "screw" them to the limiter is not: likely break the rod, after which the motor turns into a flour. However, increased time on the "lower classes", which is more convenient with a quiet city driving. Cost-effectiveness of these engines is good, despite vosmiklapannuyu scheme. "Five" in volume of 2.3 liters has proved a long time very well, and with it the size of a small "barrel" into a "bullet". The motor pulls very moderate fuel from the tank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the purchase "Audi 80" with 2.3 engine should be careful. These machines are buying fans go fast, so engines are often good worn out. V-shaped "six" in volume of 2.6 liters in the early release of these modifications caused a lot of rave reviews in the press. With her "vosmidesyatka" is really a fast machine. But in fact it turned out that all is not well. Poor quality material valve sleeve makes it necessary to repair heads within a block of 150 000 kilometers, and a bad design of the piston, which quickly "break" the ring groove - to the increased consumption of oils and again - to expensive repairs. Diesel. Engines of 1.9 liters have a common flaw - a small stiffness of the block. Due to the fact that the unit "walks", burnout are frequent cases of head gasket. When repairing - increased demands for quality parts. Of the whole range of diesel engines is to provide only 1,9 TDI. One of the first engine with direct injection, despite the fact that works pretty hard and has high vibronagruzhennost differs phenomenal fuel economy. True, about the quality of diesel fuel. Yes, and fuel injection equipment more difficult and expensive to repair. Transmission Transmission is highly reliable, and ruggedness. The manufacturer claims that the transmissions do not need to change the oil during its life. There is no reason not to trust it, but after buying a used car oil is still replaced - who knows what was there before you. CV joints "walk" a hundred thousand or more, if you monitor the condition of the anthers and not break the drive intentionally. The exception is all-wheel drive versions. More complex transmission is more expensive and requires greater attention, so no need to purchase four-wheel drive versions is hardly justified. Suspension The front suspension shock absorbers wear out bearings. They need to change the time, otherwise the trace would have to change the shock absorbers. The benefit of support are inexpensive, about 9.8 "green" rubles apiece. Shock absorbers with previous generation machines are the same size, but do not want to put them because they have different characteristics. Replacement ball and silent blocks require about 50-60 thousand kilometers, a significant gap in the budget is not a punch. The rear suspension on front-wheel drive vehicles do not create problems, the only thing to watch for - a state silentblock rear beam. They are pretty flimsy, and their failure creates an undesirable load on the rear shocks and their leads to premature failure. Our preference for "Audi 80" two-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 115 liters. with. - This is the easiest and best option. Of the diesels may - ambient 1.9, and then only with reservations. TDI is a used, in case of failure can destroy the owner, and therefore refrain from recommending.
