All motorists good day!

I decided to write a review about Audi A4, I really hooked me this machine ...

It all started with the fact that I had Toyota Surf, I decided to sell. Sale has dragged into the 6th month of sale, one peasant with Audi A4 was drawn on exchange. We looked, they spoke, I gave me winter tires, supplemented 500 bucks and we were separated)) The first impressions were positive! Salonchik Well-groomed, everything works, pleasant backlight, climate control, email, but for some reason "paddle" package instead of buttons ... on the panel and doors looks good gray plastic, consumption is small, quite frisky on the nizakh, drove to a hundred - hodovka In order, the levers are new, which is important, since the levers on this model are not cheap! In general, two days of joy was not limit!

Strengths:

• Economical in terms of gasoline

Weak sides:

• Lomochie

Review Audi A4 1.8 5V (Audi A4) 1996

Before Audi from the Germans traveled only on the Passat, the rest were the Japanese: an old Mazda 626,87 and Honda Accord 93.

I do not know what he jerked to buy Audi, probably the price, they took it through the stepfather, his client was needed money, it was her personal car, the main thing was working, that is, the car is almost an ideal.

At first everything was fine, the first month, and then the repair for repair, the levers were constantly changed, the balls separately from the lever do not change, the automatic box died on the track, drove in emergency mode for 3 speeds, we can say that it just looked like gasoline.

Strengths:

• Alarm that browsing the windows and hatch itself (if they are electrical)
• Quite big ground clearance
• Galvanized body
• Strong housing
• Good noise insulation

Weak sides:

• Weak suspension
• Unstable
• Weak automatic box (need to ride very calmly, or every month in repair)
• 1.8 engine absolutely does not pull this machine
• Unfinished (passengers with an increase of 1.8 meters are already inconvenient from behind)
• Hard seats + hard suspension \u003d zero comfort

Review Audi A4 1.8 5V TURBO (AUDI A4) 1995

Bought a car from dad.

Engine 1.8 turbo. It turned out to be a bit charged: understated harsh suspension, a motor with a turbine ... and a pleasant buzzing sound of the engine at a speed set - a metal cloak ... mmm ...

Machine from Belgium: Operated a bit, mileage ok. Apparently tuning for European roads, as stability is excellent on our Golim roads (Latvia).

Strengths:

Weak sides:

Feedback Audi A4 1.6 (Audi A4) 1998

Audi 1.6 gasoline. I do not want to say about all Audi, that they are bad, but the one on which I went, was just disgusting. Before that went to Toyota Camry. What I immediately did not like it - a rather tight steering wheel, it was not completely twisted into a neutral position after turning, the inclusion of the headlights with an additional handle next to the turn signals, and the red backlight of the instruments. But this is not all, the climate control was made very idiotic. On the go to customize it was inconvenient. Buttons that were there, for each press rearranged the temperature at half a degree.

I purchased your car accidentally. More precisely, I looked closely long enough. At the beginning, Mark II washed, the car is large, solid. But in our city there were very few of them, and there were no contacts to drag from Japan. It's now there are several outlets, you can drive anything! Next aspirations switched to German manufacturers, always liked the "barrel", Audi 80. Many acquaintances were, but did not come across a good option. And then a friend says that one person will sell his A4 98 years. On the market, such options 3 years ago cost from 350 to 380 t rubles. When I saw - fell in love! Before the acquisition of Audi 6 years has traveled 6 models on the Zhiguli. After the Soviet car industry is a spacecraft. Color - silver, engine 1.8, 125 horses, climate control, devices in red shine. He lost - take it! A couple of months went like a confession! Although before the acquisition heard that the chassis is weak, but about that later. Auto small size, in general, for a ride of one or two, the back of the place is not enough. Although if you need and threesomize, the device will pull out.
The old owner together with the car handed over and contacts where to be serviced and where the oil is changed. If earlier I tried to exercise this myself, now only through a proven and reliable car service, which in our city (Rostov-on-Don) is not so much. I never save on the oil, I change every 10,000 km, although it is necessary for a good one every 8,000 km. Thanks to good oil at the start, you can not fear for the engine of the machine arrow on the tachometer to put up to 6,000 revolutions and leave the next young major magazine behind the top ten, ninety-tree, ankvent or something else! I do not stop why, but they always try to trim or "make" on the traffic light. Oil lilled only the synthetic ESSO branded salon, although now switched to Castrol, advised one good phantha car, which sometimes engaged in my car.
The main problem of Audi A4, A6, Passat and all other cars with anterior multi-dimensional suspension lies in the fact that the levers are weak - aluminum, our roads they cannot withstand. With normal ride (not extreme) once a year, it is necessary to change all 8 levers, 4 lower and 4 top. If you stumbled and you are trying to replace one, you will change one by one, spend a bunch of time and the um of the nerves. Change all you will not regret at once, although they are not cheap, today the cost of the company takes up to 20-23 thousand only spare parts + work. But changed and forgot about their existence. Thanks to the multi-dimension machine, the machine is very soft, although turns in the turns are confident without unnecessary rolls. The friend has an Accord 2007 - the machine is different, but the chassis there is gesticine, but the car is more powerful and more. On previous models of Audi 80, Audi 100, Audi A6 transitional option was unsubstantiated (according to familiar) Yu. Watch out for brake pads, although the machine and small, but not light and cheerful! For three years I changed the rollers, belts, but these consumables. After the first time of exploitation, it became clear that the bat of the bat, not much, but the bit (began to burst into the paint, in two places), you will choose to blame all, not broken cars is practically no, but the blow is repeated. The consumption is also not a weak 12.5 liters for a small machine, but the peak of power develops after 4,000 revolutions, as if something turned on additionally (hidden turbine), but it's unfortunately or fortunately there is no!
After the purchase, I decided to decide the seats, the previous owner. Salon is not shore, although there is no complaints to the parprom, when a friend got the first time, said: "Luxury smells." Although now it seems that the interior is simple and old. I think about buying a new car. Outwardly in love with the IS 250 Lexus, but it was disappointed inside in the cabin, very closely, my back in the chair does not fit, nothing can be seen in the rearview mirror, and there are 210 horses, but it's even less than me and all this for 1200- 1500 thousand rubles, Mazda 6 inside also does not inspire, New Audi A4 2008 g Inside brilliance, but 1600 thousand rubles it is too long, while I stayed on the new Accorde 2.4 liters? VJLTKM 2008 U 200 horses 970 thousand rubles Machine Type S.

In fact, we can assume that Audi A4 B5 is 80 due to the fact that in 1994 the Audi company decided to take a deep restyling of the 80th and give it the name A4. She was produced in the body of the sedan, but later the body of the wagon appeared. For all its size, the model was almost the same as Audi 80, so in the cabin, there are also things that resemble the 80s.

The first body was considered the experiment and was built on the same platform as the Volkswagen Passat of the 5th generation. From the predecessor, as already mentioned, only the size remained, but also took the engine with a volume of 2.6 liters, it was a little finalized and began to use in a new model, but still after it also disappeared with the car.

A lot of different technologies were used, but the company did not include all these technologies in mass production, it was necessary to refuse them from a lot, for unknown reasons. Audi A4 is very similar to the Passat of those years, they differed only by the forms of the bodies and the salon, everything else was almost the same thing. As a result, this model received the status of buyers not as an ordinary car, but as a more solid car and because of this, he began to compete well with cars in the D-class.

Car in this body sold 1,690,000 pieces.

Exterior

The appearance of course outdated by modern standards, a smooth embossed hood, narrow halogen headlights and a small chrome grille of the radiator, all this looks far from modern. Massive bumper in front has plastic protection and air intakes, but still this model does not justify.

The most simple profile, slightly bloated wheeled arches, plastic protection at the bottom and in fact there is no more interesting here. Rearly applied small halogen headlamps, the embossed lid of the audi A4 B5 trunk, which visually forms a spoiler with its shape, but in fact it is not so. Massive rear bumper is equipped with a plastic insert and there is nothing more on it.

Body dimensions A4:

• length - 4479 mm;
• width - 1733 mm;
• height - 1415 mm;
• wheel base - 2617 mm;
• road clearance - 110 mm.

There was also an Avant universal body, which was distinguished by high capacity and slightly better permeability.

Salon Audi A4 B5

The interior, of course, too, will not surprise something. Here are leather good chairs, but the truth is in expensive versions that are rare enough. The seats are really comfortable, they will feel comfortable to feel the person of almost any complex. Spaces for both feet and for the head enough. The rear row has a sofa for three passengers with an armrest, there is also enough space, but unfortunately it is not so much.

The steering wheel of the car is like a 3-spoke and 4th spoke, it will trim the skin and is adjustable in height and departure. The instrument panel is a set of light bulbs in the event of a malfunction of something, as well as analog speedometer sensors, tachometer, fuel level and oil temperature.

The central console received the air deflectors of an oval form, below we can notice the light control buttons, and already under all of this we are met by a regular radio, which is no longer found. Below is a block of controlling a separate climate control, and it was in 1994. This is a couple of monitors and some buttons to control all this.

The tunnel has a small ashtray, a cigarette lighter, a rather big gear selector, a parking brake handle and a huge armrest. The trunk is very important in such cars, here is a fairly spacious luggage compartment with a volume of 440 liters, which can be increased to 720 liters, folding the seat of the seat.

Specifications Audi A4 B5

The model had a huge amount of power units, which are very reliable, as they go to this line. These aggregates on modern standards are not economical, since the basic already uses 11 liters. We will not tell you about everything, as the article will be just a huge, here is the table of gasoline engines.

But the table of diesel motors A4 TDI.

The car is built absolutely on a new platform, which has a completely independent suspension made of aluminum. The applied system is both in front and rear. The brakes are completely disc, but the ventilation is only at the front.

As you already understood, you definitely have a choice. In addition to engines, you can still choose a gearbox, since there were 5-speed manual transmissions, as well as 4 and 5-speed automatic transmission. The engine is certainly old, but they still live and are cheap.

Price

Of course, you can find a new such car except in the Audi Museum, but you will not be sold. You can purchase this model only in the secondary market, where the price is completely different due to the long years of production and a large number of motors, the state also plays a role. The cost varies from 150,000 rubles to 400,000 rubles, which is quite a serious scatter for the secondary.

This is a good car as a budget purchase, it is comfortable and in principle it can be called legendary. If you still decided to take Audi A4 B5 (1994-2001), then be prepared to repair it, he though reliable, but not eternal, years take their own.

Video

Why, who wants to buy a car with mileage, there may be a desire to acquire an old, but decently looking Audi A4 B5? On this question, we will respond in the details in our article. But it is worth clarifying that first of all, this car attracts its price and relatively, modern species, although produced until 2001.

Despite the fact that competitors from German producers, at the time of termination of the release of Audi A4, there were already more modern models, but their cost is higher, and the technical condition and equipment of Audi A4 are worthy and current time.

In addition, the car was equipped with a well-chosen line of power units, which covers numerous consumer tastes. Motors included simple aggregates with low power, cost-oriented units and high power engines. And optionally accessible to the branded actuator system and climate control, which will delight many owners.

Quality body Audi A4 B5

But even the first copies can boast of a relatively good body of the body, even though traps of corrosion will already be shown in many places. Due to the fact that the entire body of the car is made of galvanized metal, the rust is manifested and extended reluctantly. At the same time, the quality of the paint coating is at a good level, even though models before restyling in 1997 and have a weaker quality of painting.

Therefore, when inspecting the car and discovery, the repainting is not a reason for the confidence that the car visited a serious accident. It is possible that the owner conscientiously followed the state of the Audi A4, and led it in order for personal use.

Nevertheless, when examining the car, it is worth paying attention to the state of the main elements of the body playing an important role in the construction of the body and its rigidity. Also, it is necessary to inspect the thresholds, the roof racks, the junction of the engine shield and a niche under the windshield. Moreover, in the latter case, there were precedents for the complete clogging of the drain, and the niche turned into a real aquarium. It adversely affects the body, and water can fall on the electronic engine control unit, which does not have protection against moisture.

Also, it will not be superfluous to view the luggage compartment. The most vulnerable place in the back of the car is a niche for a spare wheel, and two side instrumental niches. By the way, the presence of humidity in the luggage compartment is a serious reason for concern about the reliability of some part of the electronics. There is a switching block of a regular anti-theft system, a parking bar control unit and other elements of the rear electrician.

Even well-groomed and fresh on kind of specimens can hide a lot of small and not very small problems with the body. All the same, it is necessary to take into account the age of the car and the desire of the sellers to present their car in a favorable light without spending large amounts for repairs. But it is worth paying proper designers and engineers who created this model, this car is adequately held and after 20 years of operation.

The last word about the condition of the body will be said that the future owner should carefully take on the inspection of the car and identify traces of serious repairs. Unfortunately, the secondary market come across restored specimens, which were welded from two or more cars.

Quality Audi A4 B5

First of all, this refers to the shaft state of seat covers and steering wheel. Also, traces of rubbing will be on the handles of the doors and buttons. But it is worth noting that this model is characterized by a high coefficient of maintainability, and the search for original, but used elements will not be difficult, and their cost will surprise relative low cost. In addition, at the disposal of the owner, there will be an extensive market of Chinese parts with quality and price for every taste.

Therefore, such frequent problems as a broken lock on the glove box, or a broken armrest - will not cause special problems. The only thing that causes inconvenience is a capricious automatic climate control system, with a regular failure of sensors, a motor deuctor and a control unit, but restyled versions are more reliable in this regard. By the way, airbags on this model are easily transmitted and easily accessible in the secondary market of spare parts.

Otherwise, I do not see the point of describing all the nuances of the car's salon, which, at best, will be 16 years old.

Quality Electricians and Electronics on Audi A4 B5

For example, laying wires under the hood, and especially in the door - not particularly successful. Therefore, given the age of the car, the owner will have to face with frequent wire fractures or outgoing contacts. Also, the owners mark the low quality of push-button blocks to control power windows, the trunk lock and the drive of the safety rack. Therefore, you can prepare in advance to buy data items.

Also, the wiring can have numerous traces of non-professional repair, which will complicate future service. In some cases, it is necessary to change the wiring to the original harness of the wires in the cabin and under the hood.

Also, in practice it is noted that in the fuse box there are shortcomings from the designers who have not enough powerful elements on some car nodes. Because of what, you have to have a pair of sets of different fuses. In addition, there may be problems with the central lock.

Chassis and suspension

It also concerns relatively weak springs that quickly "tired". To date, you can purchase new and inexpensive springs of domestic production or choose between Chinese and European brands. By the way, the rear suspension on the front-wheel drive modifications is made of a single beam (albeit a difficult design). Therefore, repair is to replace two silent blocks.

The rear suspension on cars with a full-drive QUTTRO system is more complicated. It is a double-handed construction that is distinguished by excellent maintainability and availability of all elements, including all bushings and silent blocks, the cost of which begins from 200 rubles for not original and comes up to 850 rubles for original elements.

But the steering rail will have to be replaced by 200,000 km, but most often, cars in the secondary market have a greater mileage, and probably with a new rail. But it is worth looking attentively, and diagnose, if there are doubts. The same applies to the hydraulic power steering pump, but its resource exceeds 250,000 km.

AUDI A4 B5 power units

Power units with a working volume of 1.6 liters and eight valves are characterized by a successful design. At the same time, having a power of 101 hp, they look adequate in urban mode. But, many car owners may not be enough power in country roads. The only minus can be the fact that constant exploitation at high revs - will lead to the clocking of the piston rings.

The simplicity and solid period of using these motors led to the fact that the maintenance of the power unit costs the modest amounts. But it is worth remembering that many proposals in the secondary market have already had to go through one or two major repairs. If you know that the first service takes place at the turn of 250,000 - 300,000 kilometers, and subsequently depend on the quality of the components used and the level of the master, then the future owner will become clear how many repairs were. But before buying, it is worth conducting detailed diagnostics to know in advance about future repair costs.

The motor itself, very unpretentious in service, and a large number of new and used spare parts, including more modern blocks of cylinders, will become excellent to repair and further exploitation.

Motors with a volume of 1.8 are more young and more complex, in technical plan, design. They differ in a more complex system of gas distribution mechanism with five valves per cylinder. And more powerful versions with a turbine, have an inlet phase control system, and have their own "weak" places.

The most frequent issues to motors 1.8 are strong wear. Therefore, it is often possible to meet engines with a noisy chain of timber due to stretching the links of the chain itself and the wear of the tensioner. There are no rare cases with a leakage of heat-exchanger, cooling system nozzles and croaking the ventilation system of crankcase gases.

Otherwise, the motor is equipped with a reliable piston group and assembled from high-quality materials. This allows you to exploit the power unit and more than 300,000 km without overhaul. Most often, repairing this motor is coming from behind attachment equipment and additional systems.

Also, separately, it can be noted about the good possibility of engine forcing. To date, there are many tuning parts from different manufacturers. Also, many masters have learned how to sort out the hydraulic chains, which reduces the cost of the work, and disappears the need to search for original parts.

Powerful modifications of models with V6 motors were completed with one of the most reliable models of aggregates in the rich line of Audi. These motors are distinguished by absolute unpretentiousness to the quality of fuel, tolerance to overheats, a large gap for the quality of oil and excellent repair possibilities. In addition, the assembly resource of the unit exceeds the mark of 400,000 km. But this property has the opposite direction, due to its reliability, the engine does not require attention to complete wear. Therefore, most cars offered in the market with six-cylinder engines require major maintenance.

From standard "sores", you can note the unsuccessful design of the ventilation system of crankcase gases. And a relatively small resource of the elements of the gas distribution mechanism. Although the engine and has a high fuel consumption (about 12 liters per 100 km), if it turns out to find an instance in good condition, it is worth it.

Also, more modern units with a head of the cylinder block at 30 valves do not bring special trouble to their owner. In addition, they have a smaller appetite for fuel. But the complicated design is more costly in service.

Diesel modifications are not very much, but they are present in the secondary market. For all the time, the model was completed with row four-cylinder engines and V-shaped by six cylinders. The first option was produced with a working volume of 1.9 liters. At the same time, there was atmospheric and turbocharged modifications with a capacity of 75 and 115 horsepower, respectively. It is believed that the most powerful modification of a turbocharged diesel engine for 115 horses was completed with low-sized pumps. But this statement is not entirely true, they are very demanding on the quality and purity of fuel. Otherwise, the motors are considered very reliable and resource-intensive.

V-shaped sixs turned out not completely successful if we consider them in comparison with previous diesel engines. Even despite the fact that the motors were completed with classic nozzles in a pair with reliable TNAD, they had their own problems. But there were advantages - according to drivers, the diesel modification of AUDI A4 B5 with a motor 150 horsepower was better than a gasoline modification with an engine for 193 horses.

In principle, most problems are manifested due to the age of the aggregates. Therefore, there are no discord cases with cooling system. Or rather, with a radiator of small square, leaks in the fusey nozzles and with breaks of the system pumps. In addition, most cars have serious electrical wiring problems in the boost space, which leads to regular malfunctions of various systems.

By car aged 15 years, you should not expect operating catalytic neutralizers. On most copies, they have been cut out for a long time or are in a completely cracked state. The same applies to most attachments. To a given period, all the auxiliary elements produce their resource, and completely replaced by analogs or "breathe on incense."

First of all, before buying this car, attention should be paid to the search for "collective farm" repair or tuning. Because of its reliability and small cost, the car has gained popularity among the younger generation drivers who try to transform the car and its power unit for greater dynamics, or reduce the costs of the necessary repairs.

Transmission on Audi A4 B5

The mechanical gearbox is quite reliable, but there is a permanent risk of breakage of the two-mask flywheel, which were installed on vehicles with V-shaped six and turbocharged motors of 1.8 liters. Most often, the flywheel changes to the used part and is forgotten until the next time. But there are masters who prefer to replace it with the usual. At the same time, you have to change many details, which can do in a penny. And tighten with repair when the first signs appear - is fraught with the destruction of the box of the box.

It is worth noting that all-wheel drive versions with QUTTRO's branded system are not distinguished by large operating costs. Rear gearbox is reliable and able to work for a long time. And the cardan shaft is calmly experiencing mileage of 250,000 km. But this statement is fair for cars operating in a calm mode. Therefore, when choosing a car, it is worth paying attention to the Cardana state, its recovery can cost much and take a lot of time to search for the necessary details.

But automatic transmissions are more diverse and more rare. The fact is that most cars with machine guns lost their boxes in the 90s. Simply, replacing a broken box on the mechanics - it was easier and cheaper. Therefore, to find Audi A4 B5 complied with automatic transmission - it's not a simple, especially, you need to look for an instance in good condition.

For cars with gasoline engines 1.6 - 1.8 liters and a diesel unit of 1.9 liters, installed a four-step transmission of the VOLKSWAGEN development. This box has gained real popularity among automakers because of its reliability and unpretentiousness. But it is necessary to clarify that the transmission on restyled and dorestayling modification is seriously different in the electronic control system.

The turbocharged motors are 1.8 liters and V-shaped six, installed more modern automata for five steps. This box is characterized by a good resource and a debugged repair or recovery mechanism.

In addition, it is necessary to clarify that the car was completed with numerous options and modifications of automata. Also, the front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions differ constructively. Therefore, spare parts will have to be carefully signed by catalogs.

The five-speed gearboxes have a good resource and a bit more preferable to four-step. Basically, the box suffers from worn out of the Locking Locks of GDT and the exhaust valves of the hydraulic unit. If you stop serving the gearbox, then massacre, the oil pressure in the box, the filter, and so on the first signs of the problems started, are jerks and shocks when switching between steps.

Although the five-speed automatic machine easily transfers overheating, but constant work in extreme modes affects the efficiency of the electronic filling, and reduces the resource to 150,000-200,000 km. But using the car in a calm mode, the machine can work up to 350,000 km.

Output

Again, given that the youngest instance at the moment at the moment is at least 16 years old, before buying, necessarily, it is necessary to carry out a complete and comprehensive diagnosis of all vehicles of the car.
