Audi A4 B5 Ownership Reviews

Audi A4 B5, 1996

Buying my "swallow" otherwise how you can not name miracle. The choice was left on the second-hand A4. I decided to buy in Moscow, but, having arrived, fell into ugly, because On the amount lying in our skinny wallet, it was possible to buy only Used "Hyndai", "Kia" and "Nissan". Riding on all these cars, my "blonde" mind refused to take the fact that I would have to ride some of them (I do not want to offend the owners of similar cars). And suddenly, by chance, my eyes stopped on familiar "rings." But to give 280 000 r. It was unreal. I vaguely remember how we persuaded the owner to give in price: I let go into the move all my scarce knowledge about the car. And he agreed. And now, finally, we tried on the road. But, only having left for the gate "ooo", we saw that the fuel sensor was caught fire. We have long chased the search for refueling (not knowing the city), confused in the exit from the 3rd transport (I'm just a year behind the wheel, and there is no such movement in our city, as in Moscow), but what was my surprise that gasoline was enough Till saving gas station. With air conditioning, the car eats 8 liters per 100 km on the highway. They drove quickly, hitting several times under the strongest shower. A week later, on this car, we went to the south (1,700 km there and back) on the Audi A4 B5 highway is just super. ABS works "Iron."

Currently, I have great pleasure from driving Audi A4 B5. Machine on Russian roads since 2000. Changed the oil in Gura (1000 p.), motor oil Plus filter (1100 r. + 250 p.), He was broken oil Prope (Original 400 p.). It starts well. Rides without jerks, pedals are soft, comfortable even on heels. It is good for me that the steering wheel is regulated in all planes (regulated the child). But the right mirror is small. Gasnobac for 60 liters. The trunk is at least a lie lie. The salon is spacious enough. The car is not small, but it goes easily, you can park without problems. Although low landing, we went on it even into the forest. Only through the holes it is necessary to go slowly and neatly.

Dignity : Reliability, good handling, accessibility of spare parts, good noise insulation.

disadvantages : Little right mirror, low landing.

Audi A4 B5, 1998

Let's start with a pleasant: the salon and the internal level of the comfort of the "Germans" remains the standard. The level of native noise insulation Audi A4 B5 will shock all friends riding on the "Japanese". In the car, quietly up to 80 km / h, the engine is starting to notice after 4 thousand revolutions, the road makes itself to the salon 100-110 km / h and does not change its noise up to 160-180 km / h. In regular audi configuration A4 B5 has 6 front pillows (2 additional side in each seat). The front torpedo and the overall salon are made of very good soft plastic, pulled by "leatherette", the steering wheel - leather, handle gear - leather, armrest - leather. And it's all from the factory. Pleasant little things in the form of folding cup holders at the lever of the checkpoint, plus two more in the glove compartment.

The road holds Audi A4 B5 very confident in any weather - so when traveling to St. Petersburg halfway was held in a serious rain, while the speed did not fall below 120-140 km / h on the rubber, which was already resolved. No hints for swimming, etched or throws; In contact with water did not cause any supernatural and fatal things - everything is very predictable and smoothly. On the dry road, the effect of buoyancy was showed at speeds for 170, moderate was wet - up to 140 simply do not notice changes in stability and obedience. My engine (ADR) begins to wake up after 3.5 thousand revolutions and confidently holds pickup up to 5-5.2 thousand.

Dignity : Salon. Comfort. Controllability.

disadvantages : Minor.

Audi A4 B5, 1996

Audi A4 B5 1996, engine 1.8,125 hp, mechanics, climate control, front windows, heated electrox, fabric salon, and other charms. Color according to the technical equipment goes like gray metallic, but in reality it depends very much on lighting. In the shade gray, the sun drops blue. In short, beauty. His home immediately received the assessment of the spouse. The words were such: "This is our car, not that the blue bucket." Blue was Mitsubishi. After the joy of acquisition, weekdays began. Every day in the morning to work, all day for business and evening in the park. The machine lives under the open sky. It is a pity, of course, but there is no garage. But I have not yet presented special surprises in the winter, in any frost it started on my own.

Immediately after the purchase, all oils, filters, belts and other "consumables" were replaced. This is the tradition of me. So reliable and calmer. By the way, the timing belt was replaced very much on time. There were no longer two teeth, the rest were admored. I imagine a replacement of 20 valves, or another cool "head" assembly. But in general, the machine is quite interesting. The city is "smart", the track is stable. Noise isolation at the level, the engine is almost not heard, only after 3000 begins to break through the rockness. The suspension is a bit harsh, but large pits swallowed imperceptibly.

Dignity : unpretentious engine, easily "eats" 92 gasoline. Spacious front. With spare parts no problems. Good speaker with moderate appetite.

disadvantages : Some spare parts are quite expensive.

Audi A4 B5, 1998

I would like to write a review about the Audi A4 B5 1998 release of 1.6 Motor AHL, manual transmission, gasoline. The car rode all these years in Germany, was operated before me. The machine is well preserved. All the details are original, nothing in service has changed except consumables. Unfortunately, I can make a comparison only with Lanos 1.6 Motor, 2007. Of course, it would be nice to compare with his class, for example, Passat and Octavia. I personally wound 20 thousand exploited on our roads and in Europe. Changed all filters, timing belt, tensioning roller timber belt, water Pompe, generator belt. Of course, I wanted to change the tensioning roller, but it didn't work out, the old one was still normal, one top lever, and the rear left bearing. What is written, the suspension breaks, is broken down, etc. But, depending on where to ride and how. You can also break the "cruiser" on our roads. If rush on checkers under 90, etc. Definitely, AUDI A4 B5 suspension is not weak, not particularly broken, but weak of course. Why? Because with aluminum and multi-type. Very carefully with nor need to contact. Checkers, pit, sleeping cop, riding borders This is all very careful. Because the levers are bend, and can be embarrassed. About the engine - 1.6 AHL old, reliable and simple engine, but a loud motor, very loud and weak, of course. If you do not like to drive, you like to ride calmly, then you are enough. On the track I traveled Max. With this car 160 sat 4 adults in the cabin, and there was a trash in the trunk. Of course, the AUDI A4 B5 highway is weak. The speaker is weak very. Last time began tightly oil, especially in forced mode. Approximately 300 gr. per 1000 km. I would like to change the glands and rings. In general, the engine overhaul must be done. But it is interesting, the car does not smoke, but the oil goes away. Especially after trips on the highway at large distances. Pulleys, rollers noisy. Who are unwinding. I also have a catalyst that will also need to change, it also affects the dynamics of the car, stifles the car. No good quality nozzles, nothing dripping, does not suit, antifreeze does not leave. In Lanos, there were constantly problems with nozzles, buy new, 3 months. And that's it. Dripping, shovel, etc. What torments me, dripping the oscillator gearbox, the oil once half a year should be pouring. Change expensive. The box works well. No problem.

Dignity : especially not capricious. High-quality assembly. On his age there is everything you need in it. Large trunk compared to the size of the machine. Quite reliable.

disadvantages : not the most soft suspension. Weak Engine 1.6 l. Close rear passengers.

Audi A4 B5, 1999

Machine Audi A4 B5 1998 in the maximum for that period of configuration with a 2.4 liter engine. In general, the device is magnificent and more than many new ones in any respect. Of the advantages, probably, a wonderful dynamics at any speed, however, after 180 it disappears (the maximum accelerated until somewhere 215-225 - it was not to the speedometer). Handling is excellent, at least 100 are riding, at least 200, especially on summer tires. Noise insulation average, not a standard, but very decent. Salon overall comfortable, except rear seats - Well, very little place place. Of the minuses: it breaks something constantly, although it is necessary to pay tribute to the Audi A4 B5 service, except for the tribal of the crankcase or the engine or the box, and there was three times (2 times the box is particularly expensive). Clearance of centimeters 10, probably. During operation, about 60 thousand runs invested 250 thousand rubles. And this I understand not the end. For those whom the amount surprised, a list of what I remembered: the pallet of the box is 2 times (with all the resulting), high-voltage wires, flow meter 2 times, timing, suspension 2 times, drive (stones in Karelia), headlight glasses time 7 viscous and much more. Put everything original, put and forgot. In many ways, it is probably to blame the driving manner. And so the machine is pleased, only here you want something higher.

Dignity : Dynamics. Noise isolation.

disadvantages : Many small breakdowns.

Audi A4 B5, 1995

I own Audi A4 B5 for almost a year, I go a lot, mostly in the city, 100 km a day is the norm. The car never failed me - so that somewhere stalled, or broke to failure. In small things, of course, requires care. The engine is reliable, or rather the block itself. With hinged there will be problems - choke, chain tensioners, and so on. This engine was put on some old Porsche models - so if it is in your working condition, it must be sufficient enough. There is no questions on the MCPP, the truth of the 6th transmission is very lacking, the car is easily gaining 200, but for a long time to go to such high revolutions Sorry. Comfortable chassis, the car holds the track well (17 discs) but be prepared every six months to change the front suspension levers set, the benefit of duplicates are not expensive and in principle it doesn't hit this. Body in Audi A4 B5 Common, "Oldskul german quality - This is not a Korean cans, which is going to the harmonica at the slightest collision. Ahead (exactly 1.8) under the bumper installed a powerful amplifier, if you do not give God to someone in the ass, then your radiator does not kiss the gearbox, and you will go away with your own place. In general, the car has quite a lot of "diseases" - GUR, Rake, TNND, TNND, chatting seats, kept loops, and so on, but sorry, the car is more than 20 years old, but these problems are decided not for very much money. If you compare with the problems of new cars. Good luck to all.

Dignity : Balanced car. Good brakes. Dynamics. Accessibility of spare parts and low price.

disadvantages : Cons in trifles.

Igor, Moscow

Audi A4 B5, 1996

Soft I. comfortable car, with a spacious and pleasant salon, worked at all as a watch in any weather and time of day. From large substitutions: on the 4th year, the front suspension levers, all 8 pieces wholesale, after I realized that the replacement of them alone as the balloons were out of order, the business is troublesome and not profitable. And I replaced one top lever, then the bottom. Here "covered" the top "freshly changed". In general, I did not wait for the third. Shock absorbers changed twice. But the first time the truth was confirmed: "I pay twice the miser" - produced in Eastern Europe, died in a couple of years. For the entire period of operation, Audi A4 B5 never failed. Once they dotted 7 km to the house in the tug - turned out to be (ridiculous) the control fuse burned down. The second time is annual. She did not start at the fifth at 15 degrees of frost. Rather, at times started, but there is a bar. Diagnosis: crack in the contact group housing.

Dignity : Soft. Comfortable. Spacious.

disadvantages : Small breakdowns.

Sergey, Moscow

The Audi A4 of the first generation debuted in 1994. Like his predecessor - Audi 80 B4, it has a longitudinally located engine and drive to the front wheels. More expensive versions were equipped with a constant full-wheel drive Quattro.

In 1998, A4 was subjected to a small restyling. After the update, a chrome edging of windows appeared, the door handles were painted into the body color, and the front headlights were solid. Technically, the car practically did not change.

Audi A4 B5 was distinguished by exemplary anti-corrosion protection and high performance. Pointers on the instrument panel are easily read, and the front panel looks quite attractive, even today. It is made of high quality plastic. But the durability of materials, alas, not sensational.

Engines

Petrol:

• R4 1.6 (101 hp), R4 1.8 (125 hp), R4 1,8T (150-180 hp);
• V6 2.4 (165 hp), V6 2.6 (139-150 hp), V6 2.8 (174-193 hp);
• V6 2.7bit (265 hp) - version S4, V6 2,7bit (380 hp) - RS4 version.

Diesel:

• R4 1.9 TDI (75, 90, 110-115 hp);
• V6 2.5 TDI (150 hp).

The range of force aggregates is very wide. Almost all of them deserve recommendations, with the exception of V-shaped six. Among the advantages: simple design, high strength and availability of spare parts. However, much depends on the maintenance and real Mileage. Therefore, never believe the assurances of the seller that the engine works like a clock.

In gasoline engines, often refuses the throttle unit worth from 10,000 rubles. Beware of Chinese fakes - they work for a short time.

Turbocharged engines are impressive with elasticity and reliability. When purchasing it is necessary to check the compression and tightness of the valves.

Most copies with 1.9 TDI have giant runs that are also twisted. Nevertheless, even in the case of "hitting" on a deliberately defective unit, the actuation in the working condition will not require large financial costs. True, it should be borne in mind that after 300-400 thousand km of a high probability of wear of the distribution pump (from 13 000 rubles) and camshaft camshafts (from 10,000 rubles). Benefits 1.9 TDI: durability, low flow Fuel and the ability to increase power - tuning.

V-shaped motors are already seriously worn. The 2.8-liter gasoline unit suffers from problems with the Maslonasos. 2.5 TDI is very cunning. With big runs wear out distributional shafts. In addition, it is not economical and roads in maintenance and repair.

Even worse, if an automatic transmission will be installed in a pair of turbodiel. It should be borne in mind that there will be about 60,000 rubles for the repair of the machine. Fortunately, it did not use a very problematic Multitronic (variator).

Chassis

Despite the general positive reputation, Audi A4 B5 has one weak place - a multi-dimensional front suspension. It is made of light-alloy metals and therefore bears sometimes already after several tens of thousands of kilometers. In addition, the front suspension is expensive in repair. The cost of the set of new levers is from 10 to 20 thousand rubles. For work will have to additionally give approximately half.

The owners of all-wheel drive modifications are also provided. There is also used behind multi-dimensional suspension. In the front-wheel drive versions, a fairly enduring torsion beam is installed.

Typical problems and malfunctions

In a 20-year-old car it is difficult to determine typical malfunctions. Given the age, everything can break through. Especially in experienced copies. Fortunately, well-groomed A4 B5 rarely break, and in the event of problems, special knowledge and special services do not require.

Over time, it is often beginning to noise the pump of the hydraulic agent. In the cooling system, leaks appear through the pump, radiator and rubber hoses. An old age becomes the main cause of the denial of the central lock, the generator, the starter and illumination of the air conditioning control system.

From time to time the airbag fault indicator lights up. The reason is the disconnection of the contact under the seat or the loss of contact in the steering wheel. The problems with the wiper mechanism are widespread. To restore performance, it suffices to replace bushings and pins. In old copies, pixels will be fused on the display of the side computer.

Situation in the market

The Audi A4 of the first generation is a rather popular car in our market. At one of the leading ad portals, about 1,000 offers for sale are posted. Prices are very diverse: from 100,000 rubles per copy on the course of up to 400,000 rubles per well-kept car.

The difference is colossal. More dear carsAs a rule, there are no traces of corrosion and boasts a good interior. Rust, if it is detected, then only on the elements of the suspension and exhaust system.

Copies from the lower price range often have a shabby interior and body, "overflowing" various colors or shades (consequences of inexpensive repairs). In addition, the owners of old A4 B5 are often refused to repair a decent cost. Such an instance is soon turning into a closed wagon. Then on the shoulders of the next host lay: overhaul of the engine and boxes, latling of holes and the renewal of the suspension. If the car requires all these works, then the cost will be comparable to the cost of the car itself.

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 viewAlthough it was produced until 2001.

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

Before you make a conscious choice of one of the copies this carIt should be taken into account that the model has been produced since 1994, and at the moment, has a decent age. Therefore, you should not expect from a car with a mileage of an ideal state, even the youngest copy has already overcame the mark of 15 years. Agree, this is worthy of respect for the age for modern cars.

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 paintwork - on good levelAlthough the 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 audi status A4, and put 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 rear of the car is a niche under spare wheel, and two lateral instrumental niches. By the way, the availability of humidity in luggage compartment - This 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, on secondary market Restored specimens come across, which are welded from two or more cars.

Quality Audi A4 B5

According to the cabin, it can be concluded that at the time of the production of the model - it was made from high-quality materials, but time takes its time. Therefore, the future owners will have to encounter some "age" problems.

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

The car has been produced since 1994, as already mentioned, which implies simplicity in the wiring and electronic filling of the car in comparison with modern models. Therefore, even age diseases will not deliver special troubles. But it will be necessary to take into account some nuances.

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

Many readers who studied the information about AUDI A4 B5 in detail may have a false understanding of the complexity and high cost of maintenance of the front suspension. This fact We do not taste, a complex multi-dimensional suspension, was difficult to maintain, and the cost of parts reached unthinkable prices, but it happened at the time of the production of the model. At the moment, everything has changed, and today full replacement All levers will cost 3,000 to 12,000 rubles. It depends on how the owner decides to repair the levers, replacing them to a new high-quality kit, or acquire recovered, which are moving less than new components.

It also concerns relatively weak springs that quickly "tired". To date, you can buy new and inexpensive springs. 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.

And here steering rack will have to be replaced by 200,000 km, but most often, cars in the secondary market have large mileageAnd 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

Given that the car was produced from the middle of the nineties, then all the motors who have completed this model - outdated, but reliable design. Therefore, there are no special and expensive problems with them.

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 belong to a 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. Not rare cases with a leakage of heat-exchanger, cooling system nozzles and checking the ventilation system carter gases.

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

Also, separately it can be noted about good opportunities Engine boostering. 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 reverse sidebecause of 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 horse power 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, diesel modification Audi A4 B5 with a motor for 150 horsepower, had best speakerthan 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 open spacewhich 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

As with all the elements of this model, there are no special complaints if you consider the car as a new one. But everything changes, if take into account the age of the car and its mileage.

Mechanical box The gear is quite reliable, but there is a constant risk of breakage of the two-stage flywheel, which were installed on vehicles with V-shaped six and 1.8 liters turbocharged motors. 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 reliable and able to work for a long time. BUT cardan Val. Quietly experiences 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.

On cars S. petrol engines 1.6 - 1.8 liters and a 1.9 liter diesel unit, installed a four-stage Volkswagen development transmission. This box has gained real popularity among automakers because of its reliability and unpretentiousness. But it is worth clarifying that transmission on restyling and dorestayling modifications is seriously different electronic system Control.

The turbocharged motors are 1.8 liters and V-shaped six, installed more modern automata for five steps. This box is different good resource and 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

Despite the age of Audi A4 B5, it looks quite attractive for purchase. But still, it is better to purchase a restyled version that got rid of many childhood diseases, and the galvanized body will allow you to look like a car in good condition for a long time. It should be borne in mind that simple and reliable, but outdated power units They have a good appetite for fuel, but their unpretentiousness and maintainability - can compensate for these disadvantages.

Again, given that the youngest copy at the moment at the moment is at least 16 years, before buying, necessarily, it is necessary to carry out complete and comprehensive diagnosis All nodes of the car.

Audi A4, 2000

Audi A4 2000 is a great car, a trap and dynamic engine. The diesel engine forgives errors with the choice of gear, and the turbine allows you to accelerate very quickly - up to one hundred in 11 seconds. At the same time, fuel consumption never went out more than 8 liters per hundred. It is a pity to part. For three years they did not give any problems and surprises, and then loyally waited for me in the garage. Advantages: Reliability. Disadvantages: small body defects. Next car - Only Audi.

Audi A4, 2000

Comfortable, reliable car. Handling is excellent, responsive pickup engine. On the drive merge with him to one whole, in general, an excellent German. All 5 points. A little expensive at that. Pros: always stylish, respected on the roads, comfort, handling, motor - 5 points. Cons: excellent soft suspension, but does not like rude roads - you have to pay attention to it more often than I would like. Rear little places.

Audi A4, 2000

I have this no longer the first car of the famous concern. Before it were: Audi 4000 (American), 80-ka B3, 80-ka B4, A4 before and after restyling. There were no special problems with this machine. There were some problems with the front suspension, but it is probably in all with our quality roads. Replaced the brake discs, there were small painting works. Engine 1, 8 Sometimes it seems not enough, it is moderate in the area of \u200b\u200b11 liters, it depends on the style of ride and season. In severe frosts started without problems.

The first generation of the Ingolstad "Four" received the B5 index. AUDI A4 B5 was developed for five years, serial Audi in the body of the sedan was presented in 1994. Based on the year of production, it is possible to conclude that the "four" is the peer of the representative, but the direct competitors of the model were other elite representatives of the class - "D": and. B5 is built on the same platform as Passat. The model turned out to be quite popular, only for 1995 290,000 cars were implemented, despite the fact that the plan for the year was 250,000. In 1998, a million car was sold. A4 production was completed in 2001.

External Overview Audi A4 B5

In 1994, only a sedan was represented, but a year later, a wagon was published on the market, with his own name - Avant. The universal features of the latter complemented religions on the roof, they are not completely unnecessary, since the volume of the luggage compartment of the Ingolstad car can not be called a record. The premiere of the station wagon took place in Bologna. Audi door handles in both types of body are made under the lower grip - this is the trend of the old years. The body itself is galvanized and if the car did not tolerate not high quality body repair, even on the body of copies of the first years of rust you will not see. The car is extended to the tires with dimension 195/65 R15.

Salon and equipment

The dashboard is made in a traditional style for grade - white instrument scales and red arrows. There are no deep "wells" as in newer cars, but it does not harm readability. In the basic equipment of the cheapest car, front electric windows, central locking, front airbags were included. The front armchairs can adjust in height. Optional heated seats has six modes. On the central console, a triangular emergency button is occupied by the place, the triangular button of the accident is to the right of it is the retractable cupboard. The climate system unit is located below. The rear sofa is capable of comforting for two passengers, but high people can lean their knees into the back of the chair, and three will be too crowded in the shoulders. As it was written above, the wagon trunk is not too spacious - only 390 liters, it is clearly not enough for the station wagon, even a sedan accommodates more - 440 liters. Our motorists will probably like the availability of full-size spare tires, not the sink.

Technical part and characteristics of AUDI A5 B5

The least powerful gasoline unit with a volume of 1.6 liters has an eight-glove GBC and gives 101 horse. Next Power - 1.8l 20V (five valves on the cylinder) - 125 forces, the turbated version 1.8T issues 150l.s. Six-cylinder units have a greater power: 2.4 - 165l.s, 2.8 - 193 forces. It is worth remembering that the six-cylinder Audi aggregates approach the oil and should control its level, because during oil starvation there may appear, and the oil pressure lamp may not catch fire.

Diesel Motor 1.9T gives 90 and 110 forces (depending on the modification), such a motor was installed on the Volkswagen Passat of those years. The most powerful diesel - 2.5T V6 gives 150 forces and allows you to develop on the highway 220 kilometers per hour.

IN petrol aggregates The oil should be changed at least once every 15,000, and the 2.5t diesel engine is particularly demanding about the quality of the oil, it should be replaced once in 7 000km.

The timing belt replacement should be carried out through 60 000km, although the manufacturer also indicates - 120,000, but there are cases of belt cliff after 70,000 km.

Already in basic equipment There is ABS and power steering.

Unlike most representatives of "D" - class, in front of the A4, a multi-dimensional suspension is installed, and not McPherson. It is the front multi-dimension, with four levers for each wheel ensures the machine canceled handling and stability. That's just this design is not too reliable, the upper levers go longer than the lower, the lower at the German permanent operation is desirable to change each year. Some owners decided to syringe ball supports, skipping the needle through the boot - this allows you to increase the life of the lower levers by 7,000 - 10 000km. The ball supports themselves are pressed into the lever and change together. Fortunately for the owners, in 1998, new lower levers began to be installed, which are capable of going to 40,000. Almost all Audi A4 B5 that today ride on the roads are already equipped with such levers, even if they were released before 1998.

At the beginning of the production of B5, ball hinges were installed in the stabilizer racks, they were calculated on mileage at 20,000. In order to increase the reliability of the node, Audi's engineers have introduced new racks with Silent blocks as an "eight-dimension", advanced racks go to 40,000 - 60 000.

The front bearings of the hubs and steering tips live in 50 - 70 thousand.

The rear suspension of the front-wheel versions is generally more worn than the front, but the wheeled hubs behind the back live less: 30,000 - 40,000. Service rear suspension Quattro will cost three times more expensive.

Shock absorbers serve 70,000 - 100,000.

ABS sensors are not too reliable, usually they ask for replacements once a year.

Spark plugs should be changed once in 30 - 40 thousand, and not 60,000 - as the manufacturer specifies.

As a gearbox, a five-speed mechanics and a machine for four and five steps are offered. In the automatic Audi, the oil replacement should be carried out at 50 - 60 thousand. It is very important to fill the ATF (recommended by the manufacturer), and not dextron - it is poured by many. The grip on the MCP serves 130,000 - 150,000.

The six-speed mechanics occurs only on sports S4 and RS4. RS4 has been released since 1999 and only in the body wagon. Under the hood of the RS4, a turbocharged 2.7 V6, which gave out 380l.s and allowed to gain 200km for 17.7c, to acceleration until the first hundred leaves 4.9c. S4 has the same motor, but it gives out less impressive 265l.s.
