STAINLESS AUDI 100 under the nickname

"For cars with rust in 1985 has no role, of course, if in front of you," Audi-100 "!" - This can be found in German magazines when it comes to used cars. In fact, the only thing that can disturb the owner of a well-worn "Audi-100", it traces of pebbles on the front end, but they are easy to paint. In general, the body, "Audi-100" is worthy of praise. He, as already mentioned, comfortable and capacious. Trunk volume 570 l agree, is impressive, and the machine load - 550 kg - often exceeds even the "universals" of other models. Salon is spacious: driver and passenger of a large growth will not abut the head in the ceiling. Provided a lot of pockets for all sorts of little things, but adds to their large Russian-style "glove." Construction of interior comfort and harmony, except, perhaps, a light switch, perched to the steering column. Slischkom not "cool", but nice. The car with the steering servo is easy to manage. But if you offer a model without the need to work hard in the parking lot. Lights adjusted in height are very good in the dark. It is true that the airbag in an old "hundred" You will not find - it installed just for the next model in December 1990, but the ABS is there on any modification of the "Audi-100", and on models of the same "turbo" and "Quattro" it is in standard equipment. "Weaving" is different about the legendary stability control and performs well in the corners. Driving comfort for passengers and the driver - at the level of European middle-class cars. "Palette" engine is quite rich: 70 to 220 liters. with. but already 90-strong four-surprisingly in harmony with the body "Audi-100" and is very reliable, not to mention the 136-strong five-cylinder, which makes the car quite a serious and powerful, suitable for travel on motorways for long distances. Diesel engines - this is a separate page in the history of the "Audi-100". In May 1990, on such a machine set a record for economy: 1800 km from Moscow's Red Square to the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, "weaving" broke "on a single tank", with an average fuel consumption was 3.75 liters per 100 kilometers. Later on a special track of the same length of the car showed an average speed above 210 km / h. This was seen as a stunning combination of efficiency and high-speed performance for diesel engines! Equally impressive performance diesel cars first gained a firm "Audi", using direct fuel injection. And now the other. Those who buy a used one hundredth model, it is important to know how reliable the engine. What to say here? Very reliable. Still, something you should know. By burnout head gasket, as is known, is overheating. This may be due to water pump failure, the fan TH, broken pump drive belt. So the interest of the state of these parts. It happens that the engine is covered with a layer of oil. This suggests defects valve cover gaskets. Although its design and material steadily improved, oil leak rule rather than the exception. As with any front-drive car, drive joints, or rather their protective sleeves, - an object worthy of attention of the owner. If the time to notice the gap, the joint can still be saved, quickly putting a new liner and fill with fresh oil. Otherwise, the need to replace the entire site, and he, if proprietary, very expensive: for example, the service station "Audi" in Moscow, one drive is worth about 3.5 million rubles. No one will prevent the drive to buy a used, but where is the guarantee that he will be fit for further service, if you do not know his path? Another trouble may lie in wait in connection with the rear hub bearings. Therefore, special attention - play the rear wheels! Replace defective bearing on time, do not wait until it collapses and grabbing tightly to the shaft. And another thing. On the domestic gasoline electric gasoline pumps can start to make noise with the start of operation - as a result of contact with them, dirt and water out of our fuel. Experience has shown that noise can travel for very long, but when the pump "talk" with obvious faults, changing the tone, it must be replaced. Suitable way, and the "Mercedes", and from other machines of German manufacture. The only thing that the "Audi-100" subject to rust - a reflector headlamps. In Germany, no vehicle since the beginning thicken reflectors - not to mention the rust - will not pass inspection. Self-respecting driver will replace the last time, since they are inexpensive and easy to handle rukastomu motorist with the case itself. Almost all the German cars 80s lights collapsible - housing, glass and reflectors. In the collection is quite expensive, but often require replacement of parts, especially the glass. If it is damaged, as a temporary measure it may be advisable to seal the crack (in the lamp body, too), colorless silicone mastic, it will prevent the interior lights securely against moisture. Speaking about the exploitation of old cars, usually result in a long list of "sore points" - failure. For the "Audi-100" The list is extremely brief. By the above, it is difficult to add anything. "Audi" modestly prosperous in the shadow of such authorities as the "Mercedes" and BMW has proven their cars back in the 80s, that 90 can stand on par with the best manufacturers in the world. Brief technical description of the "Audi-100" (1982-1989 edition.) Engine - Petrol with fuel injection, the number of cylinders and cubic capacity - 5, 1970 SMZ; power - 115 hp. with. Transmission - Manual ("automatic" option). Drive - front. Trunk volume - 570 liters. Payload - 550 kg. Time to 100 km / h - 10,7 sec. Maximum speed - 190 km / h. Average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers - 8.9 liters (diesel super A-98). Russian wits dubbed the "Audi-100" "herring" is probably a characteristic "smooth" side of the body. In fact, not having own Russian vehicle of this class, why not vilify others! Finally a few tips to those who "laid eyes" on this model and decided to buy a used "weave." It is better to stay on vehicles manufactured after 1986. For comfort, quality finish and sliding properties are practically not inferior to the most modern. A copy of a servo amplifier is preferable. As for the engine, the experts of a Moscow car repair stations, "Audi" strongly encouraged to take "four", referring to the fact that the five-cylinder engines is sometimes unpredictable, and eliminating them usually results in a tidy sum. Here, 570 liters of space. The firm "Audi" - one of the pioneers of four-wheel drive passenger car registration. If you can afford, "Audi-Quattro", then you should know: more tenacious and steady on slippery surfaces the car should still look for it! But regular, front-drive version is very good "holds" the road - thanks largely to the optimal load the front axle (layout - the engine in front of the front axle). For those who buy the car at the car, the ad or in showrooms in the CIS, to determine the year is not easy. Sellers often guilty that subtracts a few years, and it is difficult to check - sometimes in the data sheets instead of release will read a concise "uninstalled year." In this case, help to some extent the data on month and year of occurrence of various innovations in firms. Now: 9 / 82 - beginning of production, "Audi-100" 7 / 83 - new body, "Awan" (wagon type) 11/83 - start of production of the 200 series with a five-cylinder engine "turbo", 11/84 - the emergence of models " Quattro ", 9 / 85 - fully galvanized body for all models, 3 / 86 - new turbodiesel capacity of 100 liters. with., 1 / 88 - upgrading the appearance of the range, 6 / 89 - a new model with a V-6 engine of 2.8 liters. The cost model in Germany in 1989 is about 10 250 marks (the price of a new car in 1989 amounted to 34,465 marks to the then exchange rate).
