Do not confuse the "Quattro" with off-road! "A4" is available in two types of transmissions. The vehicle may have front-or all-wheel drive. Version "4x4," called the "Quattro". All-wheel drive "A4 Quattro" found in the Russian market of used cars is very rare. If you want to buy just such a machine, there is a direct reason to order it from Europe. Rare "A4 Quattro" due to distrust of our customers for all-wheel drivetrain, which was common in the second half of the '90s. Like, is too complicated. And if you break ... In fact, the scheme all wheel drive with differential Thorsen (motor power is distributed between front and rear wheels equally) is quite reliable. As they say mechanics, transmission problems on four-wheel drive "A4" do not occur more often than the front wheel. One thing to mention - the high cost of maintenance. The content of "A4 Quattro" costs about 20% more than the usual "four". However, some motorists manage our own "organize" a problem in transmission, using the 'A4 Quattro "... as an SUV. Remember: all-wheel drive on this car is only for public roads! The cost of treating" injuries "which transmission" A4 Quattro "can get off the asphalt, set thinking about buying a new car. Now - about the transmissions. For the" A4 "to a three-person: 5-speed manual, 4-way" automatic "and 5-band automatic" Tiptronic "with manual switching. With a manual transmission is no problem at all. A very reliable mechanism is only one disease - at a run for 150,000 miles bumped the gearshift lever, and it is treated by replacing penny sleeves. Warning: If visits to the service beware of proposals for changing the oil in this box . The factory is designed for the entire lifetime of the car and the only change in the disassembly mechanism. Choosing "A4" with a 4-speed automatic, first of all pay attention to the dynamics of dispersal and the presence of extraneous noise that can be heard from under the floor. If the machine is "not going "then perhaps it is time to change the clutches. This operation will cost at least .500, which may give rise to a good bargain. Like all the" automatic ", the box does not like sudden starts and" torn "away. noises and sluggish acceleration - a sure sign of "race" of the last car. Repair of this box will result in considerable .000-2.500. Finally, a welcome by many Tiptronic ". When buying a car with a transmission, first thing to check availability of manual gear changes, especially if the checkpoint is equipped with any mechanical interlock. The fact is that when mounted sensors are often damaged identification manual operation of the transmission. In this case, instead of today's "Tiptronic" you get a machine with a trite "automatic". Generalists "Audi A4 Avant" found on the market is much less prevalent in the market sedans sedans "Audi A4" is available in two body styles - sedan and wagon, which is called "Avant". The latter often can be seen on the roads of Western Europe, but our customers are not favorably disposed to the "sheds", so the market "second-hand" they are quite rare. Nine out of ten are sold "A4" - sedans. If you look at the sedan "A4" on the outside, it can be assumed that its a very small trunk. In fact, it "visual illusion" of designers who tried to make the car podzharm. In reality, the size of the trunk with class machines. The car body is very durable - it is one of the skates "Audi". Thanks galvanizing he staunchly resists salt winters. Experience has shown that even small chips do not lead to the formation of corrosion. Of course, zinc is effective only on the condition that the car did not get in a serious accident. Therefore, when choosing a used "A4" even small rust spots should alert you - such a machine should be abandoned. Finally advice manual. Imported from Europe usually have no copies of the wing flaps and mud flaps. It is desirable to set them to the maximum to protect the body from the harmful effects of our winters. Salon-style "Advance" finished materials "natural" colors and accents of walnut parlor - the prestige is often the embodiment of "Audi A4" buzzword called "image-maker." Yes, it is designed for middle-class car is truly able to raise your image in the eyes of others. And respectability, "four" emphasizes not only the exterior (it's fairly restrained) as first-class interior. Even the cheapest complete salon conquers high-quality materials and precision finishing "fit" parts. And the most expensive version staffed better than other models. Standard, as such, does not exist. In Europe, when a man ordered a new "A4", after selecting the engine and body type it in its sole discretion, fed the machine a variety of equipment. No wonder the dealers call these cars, "the designer for the buyer." Therefore, equipment used car usually depends on the country where it was imported. For example, "A4" in Germany often have a sunroof, power accessories, air conditioning and a simple "music." Fitting of Switzerland often have all-wheel drive transmission, "Quattro" ... If, however, "A4" was once sold in Russia through the official dealer network, the machine is equipped with certain very well. Among other things, you can almost certainly count on the climate control and heated seats. Often there are cars with leather interior, "parking assistant", xenon lights and factory tinted windows. Salon "A4" can be in one of three brand styles. Execution of "Advance" means finishing materials and skin "natural" colors, as well as insertion of a nut tree. "Ambition" fills salon sporting spirit - images upholstery more energetic, and used in the finishing of artificial skin is lighter colors that blend well with inserts of aluminum. In the 'A4 Ambition "not uncommon to see three-spoke steering wheel and sporty, leather steering wheel. Finally, the most elegant execution of the elite" Ambiente ". Comfortable and luxurious salon different inserts wooden special vouchers and lots of skin. Sedan" A4 ", despite its modest size, is highly representative electrics are "glitches" ... In principle nothing wrong with the electrical equipment on the "A4" is not happening - and long drives work reliably, all wiring is isolated soundly. But there are strange and seemingly minor situations that , however, pay attention. Let's start with "e" of the engine. The worst thing that can happen - this is the failure of the sensor include a fan located at the bottom of the radiator. If you have noticed that the engine temperature gauge gets to the red zone even in cool weather, visit the technical center immediately, otherwise the inevitable overheating and, consequently, an expensive repair with replacement of the cylinder head, which will ease your pocket about .500-4.000. The engines' Audi "has two coolant temperature sensor - the first information is transmitted to the engine control unit and the second - on the dashboard. The failure of the first sensor is fraught with uncertain start the engine and its instability. Replacement cost. If you start to behave strangely temperature gauge Coolant - always worn from corner to corner - it's time to change and the second temperature sensor (). When purchasing be sure to check performance hatch and air conditioning. These control units are not the best, and often "swallow" the moisture. At best, the need to reconfigure the computer (about), and at worst - replacement units themselves. The new "brain" for sunroofs will cost 0, and air conditioning - to 0. If the electronics air conditioner is really hard to protect from moisture, then the problem can be prevented with the hatch itself - take it a rule in the spring and autumn treat rubber seals (not bad, if and to the entire machine as a whole) the special silicone grease, which restores the elasticity of rubber and protects it from harmful impacts, preserves tightness. Interior "RS4" different anatomical seats "Recaro", a small three-spoke steering wheel and the rich finish of the tribe of werewolves, "A4" Among the many "A4" has two "Werewolf." For respectable appearance "fours" hide the brutal sport utility vehicles. This model, "S4" and "RS4". In 1997 she made her debut Sports' Audi S4 ", which was equipped with a mandatory four-wheel drive transmission," Quattro ". Models are made with the sedan and wagon. In fact," S4 "is a product of factory tuning. Thus, in comparison with the conventional" four " the car has a lower and stiffer suspension and uprated to 265 power turbo engine V6 (2,7 l). Acceleration to 100 km / h in 5.6 sec. Aged in sports style salon offers a complete set of equipment up to climate control. In autumn 1999, the premiere of 'Audi RS4 ", who once won the title of the most powerful touring series in the world. Its 2.7-liter V6, equipped with a twin-turbocharged and develops 380 power! This silischa car accelerates to 100 km / h in just 4.9 sec. As befits exotic sports cars, these machines are rapidly becoming cheaper resale. For example, there are already private ads, where last year's "RS4" offers a bit more expensive .000 - two times cheaper than a new car. By purchasing a used sports car should be approached with extreme caution. After the first owner bought it not to comply with speed limits. So there can be many technical problems, despite the low mileage and "youth" of the car. Thus, high-speed driving on our roads can quickly lead to the improper condition suspension. Because of the sudden starts may have problems with the clutch and motor. Note the condition of the brakes, which are expensive as ou ... Of course, when you buy "S4" or "RS4" should be prepared for higher costs for repairs and maintenance. Tools - Only authorized. Non-original spare parts afternoon with fire you will not find, a brand is expensive. For example, if an authorized dealer store front disc brake for normal "A4" stands for a similar item "RS4" would cost 7. A similar trend is observed in the prices of other spare parts. In short, buying the "S4" or "RS4", you become the owner of the car is not so much as extreme "car", which is best reserved for summer weekends. "Audi RS4". A modest-looking station wagon has a temperament supercar engines to suit all tastes Gamma engines "A4" is rather broad. Everyone will be able to find a motor itself for the soul: and frugal man, and the "driver", and just a normal driver, whom most of us ... To begin with we recall the basic truth: buying a used car, do not be lazy just stop by the service and change the timing belt tensioner with, as well as oil and candles. After all, is not known when this was done for the last time and was done if at all. Otherwise, if the belt snaps, could be held "friendly meeting" the valves and pistons, which will lead to a complete engine bulkhead, which is between 0 and higher. A soot on the plugs may cause unstable operation of the motor. Their replacement costs around. Also do not forget to clean the engine radiators and air conditioning to avoid overheating and a sudden breakdown conditioning. It is desirable in general follow this operation on a regular basis - once a year. And now - for themselves motors in order ... Chetyrehtsilitsdrovye gasoline ... Overall, this is a simple and reliable engines that are in the normal, regular maintenance and oil change "go" 300.000-350.000 km. We note at once that the 4-cylinder engines to be considered optimal for the "A4". 1.6-liter. Engine fits phlegmatic or economical drivers. Still not enough power for 101 active driving around town and highway. After all, "A4" is not some lightweight compact car. Therefore, acceleration a bit faster, "zhigulevskogo" should be taken for granted. In winter there can be problems with a cold start, even at zero temperature. Do not worry, the car in any case be got, but not with the first and the third or fourth attempt. There is this defect after a year or two machines operating in our climate. Treatment of a disease - or reconfigure an electronic "brain" (about), or replacement of ECU (0). True, the service told us that even the latter measure does not always work and you have to put up with this problem. 1.8-liter. One of the most popular and reliable engines. 125 "horses" are easily dispersed in principle, a weighty machine. This engine already allows polihachit case. It has a central injection, which apparently looks like a carburetor. In this mechanism, just might be one of the few problems with this powertrain - sticking throttle. If the car starts to jerk in the movement, lost traction and increases gas mileage - it's time for service. Bad gasoline and dirty air filter did the trick. Axis, which rotates the throttle valve, clogged, and perhaps because of this faulty motor control it. Treatment consists of a block to be cleaned () or replace it entirely - this operation would cost to 0. And do not forget then to change the air filter every 10,000 miles. Even if it is clean in appearance. 1.8-liter turbo (factory index - 1.8T). Solid motor develops 150 forces. Due to the low pressure turbine, it is powerfully drawn to the low speed, creating the illusion of more power and a larger working volume. By construction, the engine is no different from the normal atmospheric 1.8-liter, except that supplied turbines. Its service life is usually a half times or two shorter than the motor. Replacement cost of .000. To extend the life of the turbine, usually change the engine oil (not less frequently than once every 10,000 miles) and never turn off your engine immediately after stopping the car - let it idle for half a minute. ... Weighty V6 ... Weighty literally and figuratively - V6 fairly heavy for a machine of this class. Therefore, the six-cylinder "A4" wears out faster, the front suspension repair required significantly more often. In addition, it is often "breaks" if the driver and gape at a good speed burst into the "good" potholes. In short, if the purchase vyreshilis "AL" with the V6 - be prepared for higher costs not only for petrol. 2.6-liter. Motor develops 150 forces. Like the little 1.6-liter engine, the "Six" after a half or two years of operation in Russia is having problems with a cold start. Eliminates the drawback, again, either migrating or replacing the engine control unit. However, for the six-cylinder engine new part costs more than the four-cylinder - about .000. If you refuse to wind up V6, do not click on the gas when the next attempt - this action will cause the engine finally fall into lethargy at least an hour. 2.8-liter. Among other V6 - sample in terms of longevity. The only common illness is the failure of the lambda probe (oxygen sensor). If the increased fuel consumption, and the machine that is not going - seems to be about 0 to prepare for repairs. This 193-horsepower V6 gives the "A4" truly sporting temperament. The car is accelerating at lightning speed from any speed. Thanks to the variable length intake manifold while the engine is flexible - he readily unwound from low speed, the dynamics of the machine is virtually independent of load. 2.4-liter. Modern engine capacity of 165 power, which has five valves per cylinder, and began to set to "A4" in 1997. The most common of his "whim" - problems in the ignition system. Servismeny recommend changing along with candles set all high-voltage wires. After all, even microscopic fracture conductive element causes the engine begins to "five" and jerky. Do not spare money for this operation. ... and turbo diesel For "AudiA4" There are two turbo-diesel. Both have direct fuel injection, intercooler and variable geometry air turbine for greater impact at low speeds. Such advanced design ensures noiseless and temperament at the petrol motor. Remember, these turbo diesel picky on quality diesel fuel and require a skilled service. 1.9-liter. The four-cylinder engine in a series of TDI with 110 power. Has a very moderate fuel consumption - its average value is 5.6 l/100 km. The 2.5-liter. 150-hp V6. An excellent choice for those who want to ride on diesel and go quickly. This engine is very harmonious with the body "sedan" as absolutely insensitive to the maximum load the machine. General Tips on use of diesel, "A4". There are no specific "disease" in turbo diesel has not been identified. According to the mechanics, problems usually arise from careless owners who disregard the rules of service. If you want to turbo served faithfully for a long time, we recommend you observe the following: - immediately after the purchase, replace the timing belt and then update it every 70,000 miles - after purchase, please require the mechanics Checking the correctness of the crankshaft pulley bolts, otherwise you can "bump" on the costly repairs. With mileage of 150,000 and 300,000 km of this bolt should be replaced. And better to do surgery on the company's service stations, where there is a special tool to observe the recommended manufacturer of replacement technology. - In winter, when the motor does not start, or just got the battery, do not try starting the car with a tow. It should also inject air into the intake manifold. Any of these actions lead to costly repairs - it is desirable to drain the water from WEEKLY fuel filter - this simple operation you will be taught for five minutes on any service. The filter varies with the air every 10,000 miles - do not believe the service book, MOT recommends a 15,000 km. In Russian conditions, to better serve the car every 10.000km. - Each year flush with the tank, and every 40,000 miles - to install the whole system of special injection. If you refer to the recommendations in a slipshod manner, the first signs of future problems is sure to become "dead" fuel pump. A new costs over .000! Replacing the injectors, which are often out of order in violation of the rules of operation of diesel costs about 0. And so on and so on ... "Audi S4" - a good balance between sportiness and practicality. Suitable for everyday driving service: choose a serious company! As the master stations, most of the work that they have to perform - is repair the front suspension. Still, it is too weak to drive on our roads. But no need to change any sites entirely. As a rule, all sorts of knocks and scratches in the wheels are removed by replacing individual parts, which significantly reduces the cost of repairs. The average range of most on the market, "A4" is equal to 100,000 km. For any car, this figure is like a point of transition to a state where every 20.000-25.000 km are to repair the suspension. Make it desirable for specialized service stations, particularly in servicing the vehicle with the transmission "Quattro". The reason is that the replacement of any part entails a number of other maintenance work (for example, adjusting the collapse of the rear wheels), which may be unaware, "the guys in service around the corner." Normo-hour from authorized dealers "Audi" is. Conventional repair shops, its price is on average -12. Plus spares. The following are terms of service and the estimated cost of repair parts for the chassis, which is primarily affected by our potholes: 30.000-40.000 km: - front suspension arms - from 0 to work. 60,000 miles: - front suspension strut - 0. 70.000-80.000 km: - tips steering rods - about 0 - rear strut - 0. 100,000 km: - silent-block rear suspension - 0. Front brake pads missing an average of 30,000 km. Replacement cost 0. Resource back - twice. Their update will withdraw from the order of your wallet. On the face of the trunk, "A4" may seem small, but this "optical illusion" How much? Although the model is out of production, prices are quite high: over used "Audi A4" vylomit have the equivalent price of a new Japanese subcompact-class golf. This is due, and prestige, and the relative "youth" of the proposed vehicles. Most of the market there are instances of the 1995-1996 edition. Prices for these machines are in the range .500-11.500 depending on engine type and configuration. Issued in 1997-1998, "A4" is more expensive. For example, for I have seen on the market well-kept copy of the 1997 climate-control, "music", full power and mileage of 70,000 km asking .000. I think at the bargaining could lose five percent of this amount. And prices for the young car-"three-year plan" that do not fall under the duties as the new cars, rolled over the mark of .000. Transmission "Quattro" increases the cost of the machine by an average of .000. In general, all-wheel drive "A4" on the market is extremely small, as well as vans, - body 'Avant "raises the cost of five hundred dollars around. The car taken off the market only last year, so that looks modern and prestigious material prepared by Sergei Ilyinsky photo of the author and the firm Editorial producer is grateful for the assistance in preparing the material of "Audi Center Moscow" audi-club.kiev.ua
