In October last year, Brother K received a 13-year-old sixth-generation golf R -
In the blink of an eye, it was almost five months, the mind was almost calm, and the hot love period was almost over.
Today, I will share a stage car experience with the riders, hoping to give a reference to the riders who want to buy used cars (especially used performance cars).
Without further ado, let's just open the whole thing.
Repair the car
This 6R, Brother K, has been preparing piecemeal for at least two months; some small problems have not been completely solved until years ago.
On the one hand, it is because of the lazy daily running of the modification shop; on the other hand, it is true that compared to the big problems, some small problems are more like difficult diseases...
Therefore, when buying a second-hand performance car, there must be a trustworthy or technically reliable car repair shop around.
The seemingly neat engine compartment has many problems
After Brother K got the car, he threw it directly into his friend's repair shop, and solved some of the most obvious problems that could be seen and felt first - some small scratches on the body to repair the paint, the replacement of the whole car's wearing parts (volume buttons, window buttons...
After all, it is already an 80,000-kilometer old car, and the fur of the steering wheel is about to grind bald skin - re-package!
The interior also smells of the previous owner – the whole car is washed!
Such a set of operations took almost a week, and I was very satisfied when I delivered the car:
"Like the new car, it's so cool!"
I remember the first thing I said when I got in the car.
Then I opened it for a while and found a problem -
During the braking process, the brake pedal will shake slightly.
After researching with the garage owner and ruling out the most common option of brake disc shaking, we turned our attention to the engine compartment .
Shake well, you have to have a source of vibration well, isn't it.
Where is the whole car shaking the most? It's not an engine yet.
Checked it, found that the engine's foot pads have been top to the bottom, this has to be changed!
Incidental inspection also found antifreeze leakage...
Drainage
Change, change! Money, lose!
For your own driving experience, this money must be spent!
So I waited for a week for the original parts, during which I also changed a set of high-performance spark plugs, and Brother K ushered in the second delivery.
Rainy night delivery
Get in the car and light the fire.
Hey, the jitter is a lot less, but as soon as the foot is put on the brake... That subtle pedal vibration is still there!
Colleagues and Brother K said that it was normal shaking, it didn't matter, and it was used to opening.
Fart!
Finally, after a week of hard testing, we found that the culprit of the brake pedal shaking was actually -
This modified intake pipe.
This tube is hard attached to the engine compartment, so all the jitter will be transmitted to the tube, and the tube will amplify this jitter because it is hard connected... Then the jitter was passed on to the brake pedal for some reason.
Finally, the owner of the repair shop solved the problem with a cable tie and a sponge pad... It's really not shaking at all...
Wheel
Almost all wheel modifications can run into a problem – the steering wheel shakes after driving at a certain speed.
This problem can be solved 90% of the time by dynamic balancing and four-wheel positioning.
Brother K said that the reason for this was to tell the rider that he had to find a reliable place to do these two things.
Brother K went on the highway for the first time after changing the BBS, and found that the steering wheel would shake when the speed reached 120 a little higher, so he found a nearby car repair shop to do the downward balancing.
At that time, I felt that the car repair brother was very perfunctory and very impatient (I did not give money).
Sure enough, after doing it, I was still shaking on the highway.
I had no choice but to drive a long way to a friend's shop to do it again... And then it didn't shake at all...
In addition, in principle, after all the operations of removing the tire, we must re-do the down-motion balance, but most of the time it is just a trouble.
Tire pressure
Advanced no? The 2011 car has accurate four-tire pressure monitoring!
Of course, this thing is K brother rear loading, 1500 oceans, PQ35 platform original factory second-generation tire pressure, installation cost 400, the need for ventilation nozzle.
If it is the original tire of the 6R, I think there should be no problem.
But Brother K's BBS hub has a thicker inner diameter, which causes the nozzle to be slightly shorter...
After the short, the nozzle is not tight, and only when it is stuck at an angle, it will not leak...
At that time, I thought, isn't it easy to leak air just like this? The installation master patted his chest and said to me:
"Rest assured, it'll be all right!"
I half-believed and half-opened for half a month, eh, really did not leak!
In the New Year, I drove back to my hometown.
Then, on the highway back to Hangzhou on the second day of the new year, Brother K suddenly found that after the speed of the car went up, he always deflected to the right.
One look at the tire pressure - it's over! Right rear tire 1.8 up!
Immediately double flash down the speed change lane.
After evaluating, Brother K decided to drive 80 yards to the Xiaoshan service area to see the situation first.
Luckily it's still open
Before the car repair master checked, I said that there is a high probability that it is not a tire, it should be a valve mouth leaking...
Later, the tire was removed and inspected, and sure enough, no place for the tire was found.
Yes, let the master beat the gas to 2.5, sneak home first, and then say... There is no place to go around the Big New Year.
Then the riders guessed what, this right rear tire from the second day of the New Year to complete the gas to now, has not missed at all!
It's really evil, dare to love is a time bomb.
Therefore, for riders who do not lack air to maintain tires, it is recommended that the car always have an emergency inflatable treasure, millet or what brand, in case it is used can really save the emergency.
Some happy moments
On the way back to his hometown, Brother K and his girlfriend said that the whole hometown could not find a 6R.
As a result, the highway hit one at a red road light.
I turned left, he was waiting for the red light on the opposite side, Marlboro painted, Zhejiang G brand, very noisy.
I saw him and he saw me.
The next second we both started frantically flashing lights on each other...
This feeling of meeting a rider in an unexpected place is difficult to express in words, and it is too beautiful.
The public gathering downstairs of the company, this Marlboro paint is 6GTi
Up to now, in addition to a pair of xenon headlights, the rest are almost ready (changed), and it is much more comfortable than the small Mercedes-Benz of Brother K before.
I also met a lot of new people -
The frontless garage clocks in regularly
A lot of people say that when you change a car, that's when you want to sell her.
Brother K doesn't feel that way at the moment.
This 6R, I think I'll keep driving.
Here's the car that Brother K has picked up
Whether it's spit or recommendation
We all gave our thoughts frankly
New attention to the car friends can look at it again!
