Audi A4 B6 where. Second generation Audi A4
In the fall of the 2000th, the German automaker "Audi" officially presented the "A4" model of the second generation with the internal designation "B6", which at the beginning of next year reached the conveyor. The car did not just become larger than the predecessor, but also got an appearance in the key of a more status "six". In 2004, the next generation of Audi A4 came to replace, but the serial production of the second generation of this model continued until 2006 - for all this time, the light saw more than 1.2. Million copies.
The "second" Audi A4 is a typical representative of the European D-segment, and to be more accurate, then its premium group. The car was available in three types of body - sedan, five-door wagon and a two-door convertible with a soft folded roof.
Depending on the solution, the "four" stretched in length at 4544-4573 mm, its width does not exceed 1766-1777 mm, and the height fits in 1391-1428 mm. Between the axes, the car has a distance of 2650-2654 mm, and the road clearance is 110-130 mm.
The 2nd generation machine was equipped with eight gasoline units to choose from - atmospheric and turbocharged "four" by 1.6-1.8 liters, developing from 102 to 190 horsepower and from 148 to 2140 nm of rotating traction. There were six-cylinder V-shaped "atmospheric" volume 2.0-2.4 liters, which reaches from 130 to 170 "horses" and from 195 to 230 nm. The diesel part is no less diverse - turbo units with a volume of 1.9-2.5 liters producing from 130 to 180 forces and from 310 to 370 nm peak thrust.
The gearboxes are four - 5- or 6-speed MCP, 5- or 6-range ABP. Drive - front or permanent full.
The Base for Audi A4 second generation is the front-wheel drive architecture PL46. An independent four-dimensional suspension is installed in front, trapezoidal levers, made of aluminum. The car is equipped with a rush steering mechanism with a hydraulic agent. The brake system is expressed by disk brakes, supplemented with ventilation on the front wheels, with ABS and EBV.
The advantages of this model are excellent sound insulation, comfortable suspension, productive engines, reliable design, high-quality execution and a rich level of equipment.
Cons - High cost of original spare parts, not the most spacious rear row of seats and modest road clearance.
The second generation Audi A4 debuted in 2000, and the mass production model began in 2001. "Four" divided the platform with Volkswagen Passat B5. In total, more than a million copies of Audi A4 B6 were released in the world. Even despite the relatively honorable age, there are no serious problems.
Audi A4 (B6, 8E) (2000 - 2004)
Engines
Audi A4 B6 was offered with a large number of engines with a working volume of 1.6 liters (100 hp) to 3 liters (220 hp) "charged" s-version. Three units received the greatest distribution: gasoline 2.0 l Alt (130 hp), gasoline with turbocharging 1.8 l (150 hp - avj, 163 hp - bfb, 170 hp - AMB (USA) and 190 hp - bex) and diesel 1.9 TDI (100 and 130 hp).
The 2-liter Alt is famous for its exorbitant oil appetite coming after 100 thousand km. Soothes only one thing - the increasing oil consumption is usually no longer growing and on average is 2-3 liters per 10 thousand km.
When running more than 200 - 250 thousand km, the pixels are often started to "swim" on the side of the onboard computer. The new display costs about 2.5 - 4 thousand rubles, it will take another 1.5 - 2 thousand rubles for its installation. Over time, when running more than 200 thousand km, shrinks and the buzzer of the dashboard. The reason is the dynamics failure.

Comfort
The air conditioner compressor of constant rotation (continuous action) is in dire need of lubrication of the inner parts. It does not tolerate small amounts, and even more so lack of freon and oil in the system. When leakage is detected, it is necessary to immediately find the cause and eliminate it, avoiding the operation of the car. The compressor itself is not maintained, and the need for its replacement occurs when there is more than 160 - 220 thousand km. The new compressor costs about 18-25 thousand rubles, and work on its replacement is 7-8 thousand rubles.
Diesel Audi A4 is possible damage to the damper pulley due to increased vibration. The new pulley will cost 6-7 thousand rubles. Over time, it will take a replacement or flushing of the heater radiator. The need for this will come when in the cold time with a fully heated engine in the salon will stop the warm air.
Electrician
Due to the cliff of the wires in the protective corrugation of the electrical wiring between the door and the body ceases to work the electrician of the rear door, and the backlight is constantly lit in the cabin. According to a similar reason (the cluster in the corrugation) ceases to work the hint of the trunk. In addition, the backlight of the license plate can go out. With a serviceable electrical wiring, the reason for the malfunction of the electric motors of the lock. New costs about 700 - 800 rubles.

The regular security system can stop perceiving the keys to the car due to the oxidation of the contacts on the comfort unit or the block processor failure.
Conclusion
Audi A4 B6 is the last of the Mogican. This is a car that was created to serve its owners dozens of years. Despite a decent age, almost no serious problems arise. Engines serve as faithful and truth, and the body holds "salt baths". A multitronic variator, suspension and air conditioner compressor look like this background.
Good day to all!

Review Audi A4 2.0 5V (Audi A4) 2004
Hello!
I would like to share my opinion about my car. I will start with the selection. So the budget was more than modest (and it consisted of 400,000-450 000 ° C.), the new car dropped immediately, since for such money you can only take a bucket with bolts of Russian production (namely, the flagship of Lada-Tomato), What I especially did not want to). As a result, the choice fell naturally to the secondary of yellow production, namely Mitsubu Lancer 10, Mazda 3, Honda Civic and Hyundai Elantra.
The first Elantra disappeared, because of the presence of a carcass (for me it is stupid to have 2 cars of one production), so it did not even go to watch.
Then Mazda dropped. There were several reasons here.
1. One beating (apparently in Saratov, some Stritsrakhera ride them).
Strengths:
Tandem engine box
Safety
The quality of the German
Prices for hardware
Weak sides:
NOT BMW (just a fan of this brand)
Feedback Audi A4 1.8 5V Turbo (Audi A4) 2003
So, I decided to write a review about my Lyalka! The experience of the operation of foreign cars is a bit, for the first car was a new prior, and next to her immediately Audi, if not counting the beetle (1999), who serves I, and rides a spouse :)
I will start in order. The choice for Audi fell as a result of the painful doubt, chose from Honda chord 2005-2007. In. (I really liked her), some crossover type Suzuki Grand Vitara and Honda Sivique Hatch. To explain for which reasons they dropped out other options, not worth it, because It will take a long time.
In the city found four A4 in the Body B6 (2 on the handle, one Amerikos and 1 on the variator), looked in one day and so I could not buy a car that the next day had already given my blood to the previous owner. Of all the cars in a normal state, the one turned out to be that on the variator (I did not know then what was worked). I liked the kvaock, but it was all broken and terribly done, both on the handle were in the "killed" condition on the salon, and mine turned out to be the most well maintained :) Somewhat scratches, painted hood and small corrosion on the front wings in the Arch area, as well as chips on the rear Wings. After careful diagnosis and measurements on the geometry of the body, as well as the defects of the chassis, it was decided to take. From the jambs - immediately replacing the rear racks and silent blocks, the valve cover, crack on the windshield and one key.
Strengths:
- Dynamics
- Sustainability on the road
- Aesthetics
- Comfort
Weak sides:
- Rather not a lack, and the quality fee is the cost of spare parts
- Voraciousness, as for me a motor 1.8t, and even on the variator, could have been smaller
- Low for our roads clearance
- Front-wheel drive. Just now want full
- On runs more than 200t.km. A very expensive aggregates fly, type box, fuel pump

Hello to the respected community!
Your attention history of buying and semi-annual operation Audi A4 B6 2002
In the spring of this year, in Belarus to sell the car was easier than to slam in your hands. For applause on the streets, people in civilian clothes were distributed by a star, and to sell cars, it was not even necessary to advertise. Buyers were on well-groomed cars themselves, told the phone under the wipers, even tried to bargain on the go, through the windows, seeing the desired car on the road. If you need to sell the car urgently - do not be lazy and email your phone on the dusty machine. You will call when you add a number.

Having arrived at the destination, we were met by a person, we went to local roads, in order to find something worthy to not return to the same transport. So, the search for the car began immediately after the road and ended somewhere closer to the end of the working day ... I looked around ... Honestly, not lying, cars are 500 ... maybe more. Watched everything ... so. Sometimes you approach - they looked around, they are approaching the goal, come, and Sanya says that the curve. I would have heard such answers, I would have taken them and would take them, but I trust Sanka more, he is carefully coming to the choice of the body of the car, well, and very arrogant to the quality of the LCP, so ... After watching cars for this 200, we went to another, Not less than the size of the site, it was already from anything from anything ... By making the first approach, the machines were chosen so 10, then a more detailed inspection began. Disselected that when you find a car - well, right a girl, ask you to start ...

First about buying, so that others have been more attentive when buying. We went to the autobazar, they wanted to buy VW Passat B5 +. Long watched, instances of 10-12. Inclose towards one car, but with a more detailed examination, they refused, as the bottom was all in oil. Nearby stated this beauty. Since I always wanted to do this, we decided to see. The price was quite acceptable, but there were some problems: a crack in the windshield, a few scratches, the front bumper and the hood were painted, it was necessary to change the tensioner of the leaf belt and burned Check (the seller said that due to poor gasoline, the catalyst was forgotten). Threw off the price of $ 500 and decided to take on their risk and fear. Car from America, almost in full complete set. Namely: Motor 1.8 turbo, four-wheel drive, 5ACPP Testrine, two-zone climate, 6 airbags, ABS, ESP, heated all seats, factory audio system Bose with CD changer on 6 discs, leather interior, wheels R17 with tires 235/45/17 , sport suspension and a lot of other.

Review Audi 1.8 Turbo Quattro 170 H.P (Audi A4) 2004
In December, he became the happy owner of A4 8e from America, bought with a mileage of 100,000 km, now Mileage is 107,000 ... The machine came from the States two years ago ...
So, after a thorough diagnosis, I finally bought my dream, before that was A4 in the previous body, on the handle with the front-wheel drive. Now the car with a turbo engine, on a machine and with a full drive. I clarify that since 2004 G.V. Machines with the bottom parts of the bumper (skirts) in the body color were produced, so the car began to look very impressive, boring gray plastics somehow spoiled. Externally, the machine looks very nice, and despite the old years and already 2 younger generation, it looks worthy. The paintwork is very good, for all the time the hood mileage and the rest of the body did not paint, and there are practically no chips on them, although even if it appears, then you can not be afraid, because The car is completely galvanized ...
I want to dispel the myths about the flowability, the cloudiness of American cars ... Audi is produced at the plant in Germany in high performance for the United States, so that the cars there are almost all with full minced meat, that for European cars is a big rarity ... Myth second - American cars are crooked with mineral oil ... fools enough And in Russia, I know some acquaintances who do not regret the engines and pour there a rare g ... In principle, good diagnosis will save you from unexpected costs ...
Strengths:

- Best choice in its class and price
Weak sides:
- Quite expensive service
- Very little place behind
- Noisy engine
- Turbine and SCG system require increased attention

So, in the past 2008, after 3 weeks of searching on the Internet and calls to the United States found the one that satisfied all my needs: Audi A4 1.8T Quattro, 170 hp, color - jeans), automatic, salon black leather, in the ad It was one of the year 2004, 2004 also made a guilt, but subsequently, 2003 was kept on our customs. This is due to the fact that the car was released at the end of 2003, but registered and sold it in the US officially in 2004. After watching ads, this Audi was released among other unusual discs, it seems like BBS resembling a web) (at least it seemed to me). Also included in the configuration: Audi Simphony 2, 11 columns, radio tape recorder with CD-changer on 6 disks, lighting sensors, cruise control, automatic transmission with typintric mode.
At that time, one of my friends was engaged in a distant car from the USA. We phoned with his "companion" in the United States, who helped acquire, drive and immerse the ferry. In general, somewhere after a month and a half Audi was in Kotka. After 3 days - I have in Voronezh! Here she is! At last! But we will ubat emotions, stamps the facts))

Prigann from Germany in 2007 with mileage of 47,000. I chose it yourself via the Internet. Drive and evaluated options familiar. As a result, a car was chosen by the official commissioned in Trade. The price at that time was high for the average price, but for this car is absolutely adequate. Insecuring believed that the car was new and very surprised when they found out that it was not. Color light blue. In real life awesome color. I was afraid that I would not like it. It turned out in vain. Salon, you can say exclusive. Sport seats combined. White. It is white. Ceiling and bottom black. Aluminum. In short, 5+ salon. When I changed the oil in the box at the official, then the managers said that such options were not officially supplied to us. So at least an exclusive interior. S-line equipment. But outside not complete. Bumper skirts in body color and discs + low sports suspension.
Bought was in June 07 years. And immediately there was a comedy case. Literally in a couple of days we went with a friend in the capital. The route at Belgorod to Moscow is 350 km. With us was his father. And I just caught a neck on the eve. Do not turn your head, and an awkward movement delivered a lot of discomfort. In short, we are going. The fact that the car is harsh understood immediately. Rubber 225/45/17. The fact that the sports suspension learned later through the forum where I threw off my package. At the same time struck a real state. Everything was confirmed completely. So here. We enter the Tula concrete and began. I repeat that the neck is sharply and before the concrete already suffered, and then I thought stupidly dull. Already tears on the eyes came up. Immediately thoughts on her bought it. It is necessary to get rid of. The car shakes the whole soul. Friend with his father, too, I feel that it is not ice. In short, as I went and how I knew I can't really remember. Thought as I talked about the sale arose. But the neck quickly passed and accustomed to the suspension in a few days. And after a couple of weeks fell in love.
The turn could be included at any speeds. The controllability is certainly not a boomer, but for the man in the man, which is, there is enough of the head and still remains above the roof. Yes, by the way, Dvigun 1.8 (163 hp) cartoon, and naturally the front-wheel drive. Many people had a lot about the cartoon, but since the mid-2003, Fritz renewed him and the complaints went just mostly for cars until the middle of 03 years old. By the way, when I chose, I wanted an avant and just fed to such a 1.8 engine but already with 190 horses and handle. The triggers were dissolved just due to the presence of sports suspension (ridiculous), well, and a small body repair, but made qualitatively. So mainly because of the sports suspension. Although, as already said, I received it, but I found out it much later.
Strengths:
- Beautiful outside
- Beautiful inside
- Bunch
- As it turned out, excellent reliability
Weak sides:
- Sports suspension harsh
- For me it became missing power
- Reputation of cartoon

Review Audi A4 1.8 5V TURBO Quattro (Audi A4) 2004
I will not be original, but the love of this car came to this car did not come on the basis of reviews of auditors of Audi (although I definitely read and listen to a lot, because I respect the opinion of anyone who giving advice or reviews about the car himself passed, and not with strangers Words says), and himself traveled on different brands of cars. A-4 is satisfied with almost everyone, although I confess that I wanted 6-ku, but when I sat down and rolled on 4-ke, it was unexpectedly pleasantly surprised. There is enough space in the cabin, and I'm not small, all controls at hand, the head of the ceiling does not cling, although I don't like to sit low, lifting the seat, the seats themselves are comfortable (sports option), the front panel is perfect, the review is good, in one word "fused "I decided to leave, and until today I did not regret it for a minute.
The car behaves on the road wonderful, had the opportunity to make sure that not only when driving on a good road, but also being in an extreme situation, when at night at speed about 140 in the rain flew into a huge puddle on the track and, believe me, be on another car - where it would have been, I don't even want to think, and this baby was clearly kept on the road (notice, I didn't keep it, I just kept the steering wheel, because everything happened unexpectedly, on our roads this is a normal phenomenon - nothing and suddenly you have a gift, I am sure that it is familiar to many).
As for the weak suspension and other "weak" places in this car, I can only say one thing: it all depends on us, as we treat our car - that it pays for us, and everything will be broken, because Eternal not yet invented. For two years in daily exploitation, it's true that I do not live in it, changed 2 bearing front hub, one coil, candles, planned something - all. Mileage 182000 km. Even the notorious levers has not changed yet. Yes, I may be a sports fan, but the car is wonderful and it does not take it away. Someone will say that there is a cooler, better, hardening (although I have almost all the options), the newer ultimately, I agree, but if I really love my audi, she is the best for me and meets the same, I will collect change and also Only audi.

Feedback Audi A4 1.9 TDI (Audi A4) 2002
For the past 12 years I go only on diesels. Because It is possible to take a diesel fuel cheaper lemonade. The first my diesel was Mercedes 190 1985. Exceptionally reliable Machine, only positive impressions remained. If it were not for corrosion of the body, it would be possible to ride so far. After him was Audi 100 Avant, 2.5 TDI 1992, which was safely sold on December 25, 2007. Bought comrade satisfied until now.
Searches for the next car coincided with the celebrations of the New Year. The options for purchasing a Mercedes E-class, BMW 5 series, Audi A6 diesel engine with mechanics were considered. Because There are no meaning in small cities in the machine, and the mechanics are much more reliable. Until January 3, I managed to see several copies, but almost all the dead. Watched himself, because I work in a car service, and I have some experience. Quite accidentally looked at the announcements on Audi A4, although it did not prevent the purchase A4. But the New Year's week without the "wheels" pushed to the fastest purchase of the car.
Strengths:
- Economy
- Reliability
- Comfort
- Body warranty 12 years from corrosion
- High residual value
Weak sides:
- Sport Line suspension (well, it's someone like)
- Shorty seat cushion (if your height for 180)
Inside Made everything qualitatively and kindly. Although the combined upholstery did not like the seats. And the Russified Display can only be obtained by order as an option. The Mercedes in the cabin in the last body was clearly saved. But would not say that in the A-4 is better better. There is no way. And on comfort and moved qualities, concluded that Mercedes is clearly better. When driving on New A-4, a diesel engine is quite clearly listened. Especially with sharp acceleration. The engine pickup is good, takes from the bottom, accelerates well.
The steering wheel seemed somewhat empty. The manager says that he has a lot of speed, but there was no place to experience. The suspension is balanced, but unnecessar than tough. On irregularities and Ughab little shook. The machine is managed easily, the machine works adequately, the devices are read normally. In general, the car is good. But still objectively and impartially estimating these 2 brands would prefer Mercedes. The price of machines is comparable in these grades (about 1.5 million p). And from buying a new A-4, despite all the efforts of the manager, refused.
Audi A4 1.8 2003 was intended for himself a loved one. Bought in 2007 in the summer, departure for almost a year, so I have something to tell. I just fell in love with this car, which consisted of some of the advantages, already written about it very much, so I will not repeat. Rounded for about 20000 km, the car traveled every day in winter and summer. In order not to say, but the design is just cool, even the new model loses.
The running quality is excellent, Audi is not just a car, you enjoy the driving itself, and on weekends I went to Audyukh just ride a pleasure. ESP, ABS, Brakes, Klima, Music, Soundproofing salon, Devices - everything is greatly thought out, beautiful, modern, which is worth the device backlight is just a class. On the road than speed - the better, the car is like inserted.
I went to her in Ukraine and just got when they disbanded Dii, the Kiev-Odessa route is just a class, so all the way drove at a speed of 170-180km / h, the car behaved simply superbly, the Germans know that. Places behind a little, but quite enough for people until 190cm. growth. Motor is very economical, even in the city cycle.
Strengths:
- For the year nothing serious with the car was not at all despite the fact that she was already 5 years old
- Of course, the correlation to the premium segment of the middle class allows the majority of road participants to take into account this fact. Although we are objective, it is only a younger model in the Audi family
- In general, the quality of the salon, the quality of the assembly, the quality of the elastic, but not a hard chassis - all this creates a sense of a certain protectedness. As if you are on the road and okay the costume burned
Weak sides:
- However, about some minuses. And he is one - clearance. Road clearance does not allow you to confidently feel outside the rolled asphalt in the city center. On the outskirts, outside the city outside the track are already trying to be very neat and how that deer on the Volga is trying to look back in front of the hood on the road fabric. It is impossible to say that annoying
B6 is a powerful and interesting car. According to many specialists, this machine is a real reduced copy of another version, which is known as "Audi A6 C5". Externally, of course, there is similarities, and in technical terms they can be seen, however, the differences are fully. Well, about it and should talk.
About body
So, the first thing I would like to tell about the Body Audi A4 B6. It is entirely galvanized, which is quite practical. If there are no accidents, then the problems with corrosion can be forgotten forever. The only problem that may occur is plastic panels - they decided to strip the bottom of the machine. It was also committed in order to improve corrosion resistance and noise insulation.
By the way, if a person decided to acquire Audi A4 B6, then he will have to often clean the drain, located under the battery. Otherwise, due to moisture, the vacuum brake amplifier can easily fail. And, of course, once a few years should be cleaned the mechanism of the front wipers, as well as lubricate it. They just often zakuat, because of which they begin to cope poorly with their function.
About Salon
Speaking about Audi A4 B6, it is impossible not to note the design of the interior of this car. Inside, everything is accomplished gorgeous. This car is really a premium representative. Comfort, coin and quality - this is what three words you can characterize its salon. Materials The developers used only high quality. In addition, they are durable and strong, they also look very beautiful and expensive. The assembly is just great. In the salon of this "Audi" reigns true German order. All devices are located in those places where they should. Plus to everything - everything is performed in the right, convenient sizes. A comfortable landing can be found easily, and some time after driving (as a maximum of an hour), the driver begins to feel as if he owns this car for several years.
Electronics
Another topic should be touched upon, telling about Audi A4 B6 Quattro. And it is its electronic and technical equipment. Well, in this car there are almost everything that can be needed. This is a machine with a full electric car. Plus, there is alarm system here, ESP with ABS, stacking system, climatic control, heated front seats and six airbags.
By the way, the car slightly "grown" - by 7 centimeters in length and 13 millimeters in height. The average trunk, whose volume is 445 liters, of course, will not help in moving to a new place, but still several bags will fit easily into it. And in this car folded the rear seat. In general, being inside this "Audi" - solid pleasure. Moreover, both the driver and the passenger.
Engines and their diversity
There is one point that is much more important than the exterior or the appearance of the AUDI A4 B6 car. Engine characteristics - this is what we are talking about. The most popular in Russia is gasoline, by 1.8 liters. They exist in three versions - at 190 hp (the most powerful), as well as on 163 and 150 "horses". Also in demand and two-liter, at 131 hp And, of course, diesel. It is the weakest, power of 1.9 liter motor is 110 hp
So, in particular attention, I would like to affect the most popular. And this is AVG 1.8T by 150 hp This engine with a turbine, at the expense of which another 25 "horses" is given. Such a motor, despite the fact that it is not included in the list of the most powerful, can last long enough. The main thing is to follow the rules of operation of the turbocharged engine. It is very important to change the oil on time (and to use high-quality), to clean or replace the oil pipe in time or replaced the oil pipe, and the engine is not immediately, but after a minute or two after the stop. Another option - you can put a turbo-timer. Care small, but "Life" engine can be extended for a long time.
On switching speeds
Of course, the most popular Audi cars are those on which or five or six-speed mechanics is installed. She does not give your owner absolutely no problems. But then, the clutch can leave major costs - in the event that a person takes the car from someone from the hands. It is necessary to pre-inform about whether the previous owner loved to stop or quickly start. If so, it is probably a two-hour flywheel for this no longer withstands. Replacement can do 500 dollars. And this is without the cost of clutch. So do not buy a car, which is heard some strange sounds when switching. Otherwise, it may not be necessary to replace.
Audi A4 B6 is in the variation with the automatic box. But they are considered less reliable, because after some time there may be delays or shocks when switching. Of course, it will take place for one year, but if a person decided to buy a car from hand, it is better to still make his choice in favor of mechanics.
About the running part
Audi A4 B6 1.8 T suspension has become much more reliable, unlike its predecessor. So, for example, if the model of the B5-Oh suspension was called gold, then in this case it is silver. 600 dollars - here is the price of the set of all the front suspension. And it is enough for a decent kilometer - at least 70,000 km of run. You can not acquire the whole set, but simply change the levers (again, in the event that a person buys already a drunken car). Well, a new car is excellent with such a suspension. Only after a few hundred kilometers, probably you will have to replace silent blocks. And this applies to the rear suspension.
In general, the driving qualities of such "Audi" is great. Management, dynamics, comfort level during ride - just chic. Yes, and the full drive system is extremely reliable and does not cause problems. I don't even want to get up because of the steering wheel of such a car.
About brake system
The "Audi" of this model is a good braking system. What can I say about her? Basic, hydraulic, double-circuit, has a dual amplification and diagonal separation. Excellent anti-blocking system of brakes, endowed with electronic separation of brake forces. Plus to everything - a vacuum amplifier. About brake mechanisms can be said that they are ordinary - disc. The only nuance is ventilated on the front wheels, which is positively reflected in the softness of braking.
It should also be noted that this car is simply amazing aerodynamics that managed to achieve with the use of lightweight materials. Due to the same, actually, fuel consumption decreased. And due to the use of high-strength steel, as well as other additional elements, the function of which is protection, managed to provide even higher level of security than before. Yes, and, we must admit, the developers have worked on the creation of large deformation zones, which is also a plus.
Outcome
Finally, I would like to say that Audi A4 B6 gets receiving, mainly positive. It is an optimal urban car that behaves perfectly on the road, does not ask for a lot of gasoline, and it looks stylish, presentable - what to talk about comfort inside. Perhaps he may feel free to compete with some modern foreign cars. From the main advantages - comfortable movement, high-quality, expensive finish materials and, of course, the magnificent assembly of the galvanized body. And the motors are not bad. Of the minuses owners, there is a slightly weak suspension (if we talk about our roads) and high prices for original spare parts. Otherwise - everything is fine. No wonder this car is popular and today, even despite the fact that there are already other models.
In the nineties, Audi has not yet released small machines, except for a very strange Audi A2, and the A4 series was younger in the family. But since Mark decided to firmly take its place in the premium segment, then in its class the car looked very well - in any case, if it was about the numbers on paper. In reality, the car also looked quite worthy competitors for the third BMW series, for the C-class of Mercedes, although it is put on the heart - they performed mainly rivals of the "new premium" in Lexus, Volvo, Saab, Cadillac and Infiniti.
Spacious salons, good trim, rich selection of additional equipment and, of course, powerful motors and four-wheel drive. Plus to everything - the tradition of the use of turbocharged engines and the high quality of performance and relatively inexpensive service. In short, Audi is, for what to love.
Generation History from 2001 to 2013
The AUDI A4 series in the B6 / 8E body replaced the outdated first A4 in the BO5 body on the conveyor in 2001. Technically, the B5 series was very progressive - its multi-dimensional front and rear suspensions and a series of motors with minimal changes moved to a new body. The new series also got the main engines of the old - 1.8 turbo, 1.6 and turbodiesels 1.9.
In the photo: Audi A4 in the body B5 andAudi A4 in B6 / 8E Body
But the design of the new body, made by Peter Schreyer (which is working in KIA now), has become completely different, at the same time the car has become noticeably spacious. In accordance with new trends, cheap options were removed and almost all weak engines except the smallest 1.6. As an automatic transmission on a new series for gasoline engines, a joint development variator with LUK was offered. Unfortunately, the main drawbacks of the first A4 moved to a new car. The complex multi-dimensional suspension was still not impressed with the resource, the electric part and the interior decoration were also inclined to create problems in a far even old age - three-year cars could already be "delight" owners. There was a very popular problem and a very popular variator - it is quite raw (at that time) the design created many problems to those who chose an automatic transmission. Over time, transmission problems solved, but relatively trouble-free, it became only for the exit of the next A4 in the body of 8c / B7 in 2005.
After a serious processing of electronics and a small alteration of appearance, the car was already produced as a generation of 8C / B7 until 2007. In fact, the next generation is only a deep restyling 8e, while retaining the overall architecture of the body, suspension and gamut engines. But the story does not end up, after folding the release of Audi A4 B7, production was completely transferred to Spain to the Seat plant, and there the car was produced in a somewhat simplified form as Seat EXEO until 2013.
Wealth of choice
The choice of machine components is quite premium: seventeen engine options, full or front-wheel drive, automatic gearboxes for almost any of them, rich equipment selection. In addition, in addition to the usual for A4 bodies, a sedan and a station wagon appeared in the new series and a convertible, who has replaced the long-out of the Audi 80 series, produced until 2000.
Breakdowns and problems in operation
Engines
Classical for Audi layout with a motor in front of the front axle has the same flaws as on. Attempts to make a motor compartment as short as possible, they did not affect the convenience of servicing engines. And for many operations, complete removal of the front panel is required along with the bumper, headlights and radiators. Fortunately, on A4, the V6 motors are rarely found, for which these operations are required, and for row "fours" there are various "workarounds" to fulfill the majority of regulatory work. If you have a motor 2.4 or 3.0, then the cost of service will noticeably increase due to increasing the complexity of any work. Machine holders with V8 are unlikely to take care of the cost of service, but it must be said that this big motor is not much more difficult to maintain than V6. Undoubtedly, the most successful engine for the machine in the secondary market is 1,800 in all its numerous versions - AWT, APU, etc. Weak places from these motors EA113 series. The complexity of the twenty-glove GBC is compensated by good quality of execution, a successful camshaft-chain-chain drive (camshafts bind the chain about which they are often forgotten, and the camshafts themselves are driven by a belt). Piston group with a good safety margin and is not prone to coking. There is a reserve for forcing, and there are many parts and for every taste.
The main thing with this motor is not to forget to change the timing belt every 60,000 kilometers - the regulatory 90 can not go out. Also, do not forget to check the condition of the chain and tensioner. It is important to monitor the turbine - KKK K03-005, K03-029 / 073 or even Series K04-015 / 022/023 are used on more powerful and tuned versions for power up to 225 forces. On older engines, the main problems are the failures of the control system, leaks of oil, unsuccessful ventilation of crankcase gases (VKG), rapid pollution of throttle and "floating" revolutions. Inurbated 1.6 and 2 liter options and 101 and 130 hp. Accordingly, they may like someone who is not used to rush. And those who would like to get the most reliable engine. These motors deservedly keep the cheap service championship, and the dual-liter motor resource deserves praise, many copies during runs for 300 thousand kilometers do not even require replacement of piston rings and inserts. Only one should not confuse it with a newer engine 2.0FSI - he has a direct injection, but a slightly higher power in 150 hp Does not make it a competitor turbocharged motor. According to the cost of maintenance, this option is a little inferior to the turbocharged, there is no complicated supercharge system, but the injection system is extremely troublesome, and also does not like frost, in general, not for Russia.
Motors V6 volume 2.4 are constructively similar to the 1,800 series of EA113, here the same "generic features" are visible in the form of the camshaft belt drive, an additional chain in their drive, five valves per cylinder, etc. And the main problems are similar - some reservedness, leaks of oil, a low resource of the timing belt. However, problems that do not stand in an in-line "four" 1.8, on V6, tightly inscribed in the engine compartment, becomes critical. Especially a lot of hassle can deliver inconspicuous flow of oils from under the cap covers, leading to fires in the engine compartment. Unless the specific problems of turbocharged engines are not here with similar dynamics. You do not need to take care of the tightness of the intake, the package of radiators is less, less "tubes", and in the motor it is easier to figure out the unqualified mechanics. 3.0 V6 with a capacity of 218 hp - Already completely different, this is a newer BBJ series. Of the advantages - except for a little more power and the best traction on low revs. Otherwise - Spare parts are more expensive, there are notable phaserators, leaks are stronger, access to nodes is hardly better. It is slightly less noisy and more economical, but cars with it are not so faster than with a turbocharged 1.8, how much is more expensive. Here is the engine V8 series ASG / AQJ / ANK on 300/340 hp For S4, it is quite reliable, as far as possible for a passenger V8 on a sports modification of the model. Timing - also with a belt and chain at the same time. From specific problems - the same leaks, and the leaks of oil is much more. Such machines at the age of "please" with frequent overheats and scattered rotational wiring harnesses. Motors 1.9 and 2,5TD are exactly the same here, but they are very rare and are unlikely to deserve a separate story.
Transmissions
Immediately make a reservation that you do not need all-wheel drive options. This is not only more traction in winter and better permeability, but also high reliability. The all-wheel drive nodes themselves are very reliable, and a classic hydromechanical transmission is installed in addition on all-wheel drive versions, and not a Multitronic variator. On all-wheel drive machines with motors of 1.8-3.0, the ZF 5HP24A box was installed, or 01L in the designation VW, very reliable. This automatic transmission automatic transmission is already familiar with BMW machines and other manufacturers. It causes early problems with oil pollution and hydraulicone, but with timely maintenance it is not a problem. The main thing is to replace GDT when running 200 thousand kilometers and change the oil every 60 thousand kilometers. Then the box can reach up to three hundred thousand, by the time the oil pump cover is replaced when other work on restoring performance is required. Slightly smaller than the classic "creeper", the resource is rewarded an order of magnitude better than the best dynamics - no worse than that of mechanics.
The front-wheel drive machines with motors 1.8, 2.0, 2.4 and 3.0 have a slightly affected by the above multitronic. At first, this transmission was presented as an ideal replacement for conventional automata, with an extended dynamic range, simple and resource. In practice, she "delighted" at first a multitude of failures and glitches and a small chain resource. In addition, it turned out that the possibility of towing the machine is not provided - the chain has joined the leading cones. Over time, most of the problems have decided, and the Late Machines with all the revocricted companies have even been even reliable. Except one detail. The chain resource remained about 80-100 thousand kilometers, sharp accelerations are reduced strongly, and towing causes damage to the cones and a strong box. And the cost of repair is reduced. Despite the simplicity of the design, the average repair on it includes the replacement of the chain and cones - the price of one hundred thousand rubles. And only with very neat operation and on time a replaced belt, the box will pass its 250-300 thousand kilometers of the mileage without serious intervention, without irritating failures and glitches. By the way, on the go, the car with her is very pleasant.
Chassis
The choice of Audi multi-dimensional aluminum suspensions in the middle of the nineties as the basics for the entire range of cars allowed to reduce the lag on controllability and comfort from the rear-wheel drive "Grand" in the face of BMW and Mercedes. The same choice made Audi suspension much more expensive in maintenance in comparison with competitors. Find a car with a completely "lively" suspension difficult. The cost of full repair is too large, and usually the repair is made "situational", as the elements are complete, the resource of the suspension from repair to repair and each node separately decreases at times relative to the new one. The point here is not even that neoriginal materials are used. Just one half-worker. The suspension is constructively similar to the suspensions of the "older brother" - A6 in the body of C5, and the problems here are exactly the same, except being expressed less, because the machine itself is easier. Behind it is unless the lower transverse lever, but in front of both balls and all four levers are a consumption. If you make repairs in time, then the costs will be moderate, but you need to buy 25-35 thousand rubles at least once and do absolutely everything, then there is a chance that the suspension resource to the first serious replacement will be thousands of 100-150 kilometers.
