Hello! Hello everyone, I am the car inspector Xiao Linzi, a nonsense more than the culture of retired auto mechanic active inspector, now fully engaged in the second-hand car industry, to help customers solve all problems is my service tenet, used to say good! Welcome to this issue of used car testing fun facts,
Today may bring you Volkswagen's most popular car - golf, once heard such a paragraph, "Volkswagen only has one car called golf, plus an ass is Sagittarius, the shrinking point is POLO, pat flat is cool, elongated is Passat." Indeed, the Golf is arguably the most iconic model of the Volkswagen brand, and it has gone through 43 years since its birth in 1974, with seven generations of models and cumulative sales of more than 33 million units, and it is recognized as one of the "world's best-selling models".
This is golf 2017 280TSI automatic R-Line million commemorative edition, the factory date is April 2017, in May of the same year on the card, the current table mileage is 58132 kilometers, the new car guidance price of 171,900, the seller offers 113,000, just say that this price is still reasonable after all, not too expensive, not cheap, in the end this car is not worth the price, we continue to look down.
Old rules, let's first look at a situation of the appearance of this car, as can be seen from the above figure, the appearance of the body part of the scratch is more, more than 50,000 kilometers of the car, there are these small flaws are also normal, the car driving on the road will inevitably not be splashed by small stones to hit the paint, as long as it is not a large area of scratches can be accepted, and then start the front part of the vehicle to detect.
Everyone pays attention to the direction of my finger in the picture above, you can clearly see that there are signs of flying paint in these places, which can prove that the front bar part of the car has been painted, the water tank frame screws have not found disassembly marks at both ends, and the anti-collision beam screws have not been disassembled, which also proves that the front has not suffered relatively large damage, because once damaged, the anti-collision beam must be disassembled.
The headlights on both sides were produced normally, both before the vehicle's production date, and there were no signs of disassembly. The two side fin plate screws also do not have any screw marks, the paint value is also normal, the cover screws do not have any screw marks, and the cover paint value is also within the normal range, all of which shows that the front of the vehicle is normal and there has been no accident.
The glass date of the whole car is around March 17, indicating that it is the original car glass, as for how to see the production date of vehicle glass, there are many tutorials on the Internet, and here I will no longer show you.
The remaining paint surface of the vehicle in addition to the left rear leaf sheet metal, is the original paint surface, see here I have to admire the original owner's driving skills, such a long time, can also retain the original paint, it is really possible.
As can be seen from the above figure, the car's water tank production date is March 17, and the fan frame production date is February 2017, both before the vehicle production date, indicating that these parts have not been replaced.
Next we look at the engine compartment, this engine can be described as an old friend of the Chinese people, if volkswagen's EA888 is its popular fried chicken, then this EA211 is the hero of the expansion of the territory for the public, and even can be said that without this engine, there is no Volkswagen today! Pull a little far, continue to look at the car, this engine valve chamber cover screws without any oil leakage disassembly marks, intake manifold without any disassembly traces, exhaust manifold without any disassembly traces, turbocharger without any oil seepage disassembly traces, oil cover without emulsification traces, these have shown that the engine has not been overhauled, compared to EA888, or this engine is more resistant ~
Transmission bracket screws do not have any screw marks, the insurance box also has no traces of repair and replacement, here to give everyone a little knowledge of science, in the detection of volkswagen EA211 model engine must be unplugged in the cabin plug to see, this engine has a problem is not a problem, we can often see the oil pressure sensor plug of this engine in the repair shop, because the seal is not tight caused by the oil string out along the harness flowing to the computer version, and finally led to the burning of the computer version, there is a friend of this car can check it by themselves, See if there is this problem, from the above picture you can see that the plug inside is very clean, so this car has such a problem.
Next we look at the situation inside the car, to be honest, I personally feel that in the family car, to say who is the most cattle design may argue for half a day without results, but to say whose interior is the most durable, volkswagen must still not let it. I have the impression that the Volkswagen set of interiors has been used for many years, has been a small change, the overall or T-shaped structure, but also strange, so many years, look is not outdated, presumably this is a good design to bring the charm of it.
Entering the car is mainly to check whether there are signs of disassembly and rust in the seat skeleton and steering tube column and cigarette lighter, and then check whether there is sediment in the safety box and safety buckle, which can be seen from the above picture that these conditions do not exist in this car.
By the date of the seat belt, it can be determined that there is no replacement of the seat belt, and it can be seen that the seat belt date is between February and March 2017, so the car is original and has no post-replacement.
The various functional buttons in the car have been tested to work normally, and you don't have to say that I think this steering wheel is the best in all Volkswagen cars, there is no one, the size is moderate, a circle of chrome trim is just right to highlight the sense of sport, holding it is like driving a go-kart.
The last test in the car is the OBD test, which is inserted into the OBD plug using our dedicated OBD diagnostic instrument to read the computer data of the diagnostic vehicle. First of all, a test of the whole vehicle, the test result is that all the system functions are normal, there is no fault code, and then we enter the gearbox system, from which we can read the transmission mileage and other data, which is also a good way to detect whether the vehicle is adjusted.
Just when I secretly caught a good car, reality gave me a hard slap! According to the vehicle transmission OBD data, it can be seen that the total driving time of the Q002 shows 128241 kilometers, which can be inferred that the vehicle has a meter adjustment behavior, and I am also shocked to drop my jaw, which is basically half-tone. Good guys, I thought the price was ok, but if it was a 130,000-kilometer golf, it's not worth the price anyway.
I immediately informed the customer of the situation of the vehicle, the customer immediately found the seller after hearing about it, asked what kind of situation it was, originally thought that the seller would rip it off, but did not expect the seller to be generous to admit it. The customer asked: "You adjust the meter, even if you look at the car condition is not a big problem, then you are so expensive, at least give me a few tens of thousands of cheaper, otherwise I will definitely not buy ah", "Brother, I have been doing used cars for so many years, I have really not seen a few used cars that have not been adjusted, you go to the market to ask, how many used cars do not adjust the meter? expensive? Are you too expensive or am I too expensive? Which used car in these two years is not expensive? If you want to blame it, blame the old United States, this trade war is fought, a car is difficult to find! ”
Good guys, it's a pity that this seller doesn't go to be a lawyer, and the tune-up makes him say a sense of justice! There is no way, this test has to go here, the customer feels that the number of kilometers is too big in the heart of a bit of diaphragm. Indeed, the watch car also has some harm to the car, which will mislead the later owner's judgment on the maintenance of the vehicle, such as not maintaining the vehicle in time to cause mechanical failure, and the meter car will be sold at a higher price that does not meet the actual price of the car, that is, it deceives the consumer. When many people sell second-hand cars, in order to sell more prices, they will find ways to reduce the mileage, so that buyers mistakenly think that the wear and tear of the car is not high, so they buy the second-hand car at a high price.
Well, today's test sharing is over, I am a used car inspector in the car inspector. Like it, spray if you don't like it. I repair more cars, read less, and write badly, please bear more responsibility. Car inspector, willing to be your friend who knows the most about cars!
