Hello, everyone! I'm a car inspector who wins! Once an auto repairman, I didn't want to be arranged for a lifetime, what I wanted in my heart was the stars and the sea poetry and the distance, so after a lot of training and assessment, I became a professional second-hand car inspector in the car inspector. Today I will share the latest issue of the testing fun facts.
Unconsciously, it is almost the end of the year, and older single men and women will have to face the marriage law of their fathers and fellow villagers again. Today's customer brother is less than thirty years old, although he feels that he is still young, there is no strong willingness to enter marriage, exaggerated to say that supporting himself is a problem, not to mention the cost of starting a family! But the little brother can't stand the bitter pressure of his girlfriend, so he first consults with his parents and then discusses things later.
When you see your future parents-in-law, you must prepare well, what clothes to wear, what to send, etc., and a key is to drive a car that can grow a face. The brother consulted with his girlfriend, took out his small savings, and let the family support a part, and raised a second-hand Audi A4L. Although the car has been nine years old, the exterior interior is still good, and it did not cost a total of 100,000 yuan to buy a car and prepare it.
As a result, only a few days after buying it, the engine was broken, it could not start normally, and there was a smell inside the car, a damp and moldy smell. The car dealership said at the time that the car wash spilled some water into it, and in a few days it would be fine, and the little brother did not pay attention to it. The little brother searched for the content of the second-hand car on the Internet, saw our water soaking car inspection post, similar to his situation, the little brother's heart sank, it would not be to buy a water soaking car, right? After thinking about it again, he decided to ask us to take a look, and if there was a real problem, he would go to the car dealership to solve it.
Customer service sister sent this task to Dasheng, Dasheng set off early in the morning to the customer brother's place, because can not start, can only move bricks in the open outside, to be honest these days the weather is really cold, today is still raining, but for life, dry on the end!
Model: 2012 2.0 TFSI Automatic Comfort
Factory Date: 2012-05
Meter mileage: 113303KM
Manufacturer guidance: 329,900
Transaction price: 88,000
The appearance of the whole car does look relatively new, because the car has been painted and changed color by the whole car, the original car is red, and some of the parts inside can be seen from the engine compartment in a while. In the picture, there is residual fly paint in the combined position of the headlight and the bumper, indicating that the front bumper has been painted.
The paint thickness of the entire surface of the front cover is relatively uniform, all about 320μm, considering the situation of spray paint color change, inference that the front cover does not have sheet metal scraping putty repair, we can also use other faces to compare the thickness data of the reference front cover.
The left front fender and the left front door are linear sheet metal, but the data is not very large, considering that the age of the car is not small, bumps and scratches in the daily use process are inevitable, don't mind too much.
Line of sight to the left A column, the thickness of the paint surface suddenly increased, extending to the upper beam, even the roof is more than 1000μm, immediately check the paint surface and solder joints on the inside of the A column, fortunately it is normal, there is no obvious cutting point, then the A column is only the outer sheet metal, but the sheet metal length is greater than 8 cm, which already belongs to the national calibration accident car.
Look at the front windshield is not abnormal, or the original parts, indicating that the scraping of the A-pillar is not very serious, did not hurt the front windshield, it is estimated that it is caused by a high-altitude falling object, or has a half-pushed and half-touch with the large truck carriage.
From the door hinge can also be seen that the original car is red paint, because the color spray paint, so the four doors and door trim have been disassembled, although the spray is very complete, even the inside is also sprayed, but the spraying process is not particularly meticulous.
Turning to the right side of the body, the paint thickness of the right front fender is obviously low, the same paint, why are you so different? According to the experience of Dasheng, this fender is likely to be replaced, the specific reason of Dasheng has been said many times, and the parts that are replaced after the replacement do not have the original electrophoresis layer attachment process, so the paint thickness will be lower.
The angle of the engine compartment, the red color of the two shock absorbing tower seats has not changed.
The cover screws are screwed, or the reason for the color change, including the inside of the cover are sprayed, the glue line is only a thin layer, and then look in from the collapse hole, the inside is black paint, the big victory decisively determines that the front cover is replaced, but also the replacement of the disassembly parts.
Daily wiping and hanging will not cause the front cover to be replaced, so the front part of the front should have a collision accident, and then find out where the collision point is. The right headlight screw is screwed, and the back of the headlight also has a sub-factory mark, so the right headlight has been replaced, including the water tank frame in front of it. Thinking about the replacement of the right front fender, it is speculated that the collision site is mainly in the right front of the body.
Here is the right front fender beam, it is estimated that the sheet metal spray paint time is not short, the surface of the putty has been cracked, including the solder joint has been clearly seen.
Measured with a paint film instrument, the thickness of the paint surface of the fender beam is far greater than the normal standard, but it becomes more normal, indicating that the fender beam was directly scraped after being deformed and sprayed with putty, and there was no cutting and replacement. It should be noted that the fender beam also belongs to the structural parts of the car body, and the accident car has added a clear proof.
The accident did not affect the right front longitudinal beam, which was fine! The customer brother may see the big victory here for a long time to study, just come over and ask what the situation is! Dasheng told him the truth. The little brother said that you don't need to look at the engine, just look at whether the interior has water! Hey, okay you guys!
Open the car door, you can indeed smell a very heavy musty smell on the car, there is an inner smell! Looking back at the little brother, said that there may be more things to dismantle, the little brother said that it is okay, as long as you can find the problem.
The seat fixing screw has obvious screw removal marks, and there are obvious rust spots on the slide rail and seat skeleton, but its rust area is not large, and we can only say that it is suspected of soaking water, and more evidence is needed to support it.
There are mildew spots on the carpet, and there is obvious rust at the upper end of the steering machine pipe column, but the lower end and other accessories around it are all problems, and Dasheng can't help but wonder where the water comes from?
There are no traces of disassembly and disassembly of the steering machine tube column screws and surrounding accessories, the fuse box has not moved, and there are no sediment and water marks in some of the places where the corners are wide open, which can roughly determine that the water level line does not reach the seat height.
Coming to the trunk, the spare tire slot did not have obvious rust and mold, but there was a lot of dust inside, which at most proved that his car environment was relatively harsh, but it could not prove that it was soaked in water.
The interior is almost finished, there is not enough evidence to prove that it is a water soaking car, and for the time being, I have not found where the water came from! Until I saw that the roof handle had been disassembled and disassembled, my heart lit up the last glimmer of light.
The corners of the inside of the roof are mildew and discolored, and the sponge inside is yellow and hard.
Then we find the point of entry, and the water comes from heaven!
The sunroof glass has no traces of disassembly and replacement, and it is known to be the original factory by looking at the date of manufacture. Then the possibility of water inlet into the interior is that the sunroof glass is not closed or the sunroof drainage hole is blocked, and the interior water has not been treated until it is boiled dry, and the interior carpet also produces a musty musty smell.
The car can not start, so the next chassis, function, OBD these can not continue, Dasheng to the customer brother said, the brother also got the desired results, he asked me to report as soon as possible, and then go to the car dealership to deal with.
Dasheng estimates that this car is not only the problem of accident and wading, but also the problems of engine failure maintenance, chassis oil leakage, kilometer meter adjustment, etc., and the wear inside the car is not small. But it was just speculation, there was no actual testing, and Dasheng did not tell these to the little brother, after all, the current situation has made him chagrin! You can't put salt on someone else's wounds!
Like the little brother to buy a car on the problem, and then look for our testing cases are not a few, most of the test results are not optimistic. Dasheng is not to blame the little brother did not detect in advance, after all, the detection industry is not well known to the public, since such a thing has happened, what to do in the follow-up, Dasheng is just a reminder to friends who want to buy second-hand cars in the future, the second-hand car industry as a whole tends to be good, but it is not excluded that a small part of the black-hearted merchants still pit deception Xiaobai, so before buying a car, you must protect your wallet, please a friend who understands the car to help you take a look, to avoid being deceived.
Well, today's test sharing is here, I am a used car inspection technician in the car inspector. Like it, spray it 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!
