Hello everyone! The old driver of the car inspector has met with everyone again, I am a used car inspector who has repaired the car, and it is my duty to help everyone clear mines. My writing is relatively concise, although it is not much, but the words are full of power!
Why people are reluctant to buy accident cars, in addition to the concerns about safety, there is actually an important reason, that is, they are afraid of people dying in the car and seeing blood! In the words of the fortune teller, this is called a "murder car", listening to it is uncomfortable, panicked, don't say open!
Some car dealers take this as a gimmick, although they do not respect the deceased, but from the effect point of view, the words "with their own soul ring" are really eye-catching, plus the yin and yang master, Taoist and other film and television entertainment elements, it is on fire! Some people say that used car dealers do two things very well, one is to wash the car, and the other is to make up stories. Old Gao is convinced of this, you see the copywriting! Send two hot girls to the souls! Is there a hint of anticipation at the same time?
From the consumer's point of view, the car dealer also confessed a part of the real car condition, no concealment, no fraud! And the price is clearly marked, consumers are not so disgusted! So this kind of car dealer with professional ethics, what if he encounters a black heart? Not only will it not tell you the real condition of the car, but it will also beautify it into a boutique without accidents and sell you a high price. And whether there are personal injuries or injuries in the car, that is something that can never be told, even if you know it in your heart, but you don't know it in your mouth.
Like an Audi A5 tested this time, the individual seller did not tell the customer who bought the car, the seller said that he had only been driving for a few months, and now he wanted to change the car and dispose of it. The customer came to us to do a test. After the results come out, it is quite helpless, it is likely to have its own soul ring, but there is no evidence to prove, you can look at the specific detection process, according to your logic to judge for yourself.
The shape of the coupe, coupled with this green body, looks handsome enough! In fact, this is the color change film posted, the original car is white paint, perhaps the former owner feels too ordinary, so it has to be a whole personality. But it is not excluded that it is to cover up the flaws, which the lady should understand better. Okay, let's get into the detection details.
Model year: 2014 Sportback 45 TFSI
Factory Date:2014-03
Meter mileage: 65318KM
Manufacturer guidance: 499,800
Owner quote: 158,000
Look at the front bumper is dismantled, replaced or not temporarily can not be determined, because the car film blocking, can not see the surface of the paint situation, plastic parts can not use the paint film instrument. Continue to look at the front cover, the thickness of the paint film instrument is not low, it must have been painted with putty spraying, the thickness of the original paint plus the car film is less than 300μm, which is already 455μm.
There are places to make paint before and after, but there is no sheet metal plastic scraping putty repair with a large thickness of the paint surface, and the customer brother does not care about these. However, the old high should keep a clear head, and it is also possible that the exterior parts have been directly replaced without sheet metal, so we must carefully check the interior.
The dust in the cabin is quite large, which is in line with the characteristics of the individual owner, which is better, and it is easier to check the problem of oil leakage in the original state that has not been prepared. The second-generation EA888 engine of 2.0T is very powerful, but there are many problems, and everyone understands.
First observe the cover hinge screws, you can see the obvious disassembly displacement phenomenon, associated with the above putty spray paint, you can infer that the front of the car has had a collision accident.
Down the left fender, suddenly found that the front end of the femp beam deformation paint, the position of the deformation is close to the left part of the tank frame, according to the degree of impact of this deformation, the water tank frame should also be more seriously damaged, the left headlights can not run off, let's take a look.
The fixing screws of the water tank frame have been removed, and the original screws have been removed, and I have found one to install it! The colors are different!
The right fender beam is also deformed and painted, more obvious than the left, the original wound, has not been treated! Then the tank frame must have been replaced! The fender beam is part of the body structure, and the damaged deformation can be judged as an accident car. However, for the time being, do not rush to conclusions, and it is more important to test whether there is a larger injury behind the test.
The fenders and headlights on both sides must have been changed, but fortunately the top of the shock absorption tower was saved, and there were no signs of deformation and cutting repairs.
Looking down, the front anti-collision beam is also disassembled and replaced without accidents, although it is called an anti-collision beam, but it does not belong to the body structure, but a removable part, so simply replacing the anti-collision beam is not an accident car. Also have to combine with other places, the most important thing is to see the situation of the longitudinal beam, because the space is limited, now the longitudinal beam can only see a small part, there is no abnormality in the visual inspection, and then pay attention to it when it is on the shelf for a while.
Then look at the engine, the valve chamber cover screws have no disassembly marks, there is a little oil leakage, but it does not affect the use. Although the year is not short, but the number of kilometers of 60,000 is indeed not much, if there is no meter adjustment, the valve room cover is not enough to need maintenance.
The engine bracket has been removed, the cause of wear and aging is estimated, and there are traces of leakage of antifreeze on the upper side of the bracket.
The amount of antifreeze is indeed a little small, and it is recommended to deal with the problem of leakage after treatment. The front part of the car is like this, the front mouth can not run off, let's see how the cockpit is.
The exterior is cool, the interior is very earthy, and many people have such an impression of the A5! The old high to the car, this interior really does not dare to compliment, this layout design, and the same era of A4 / A6 can not be said to be exactly the same, but it can also be said that there is no difference. This is also a low-end version, so there is no tall function, so it is not introduced!
The overall wear in the car is not much, but the steering wheel surface is a little shiny, and most Audis seem to be like this!
The whole dashboard looks new, but this is all a skinned repair done later, but why fix it? The answer is that the main and auxiliary airbags are all exploded!
Although the date of manufacture of the seat belt is no problem, but the screw below has been removed, it should have been locked when the accident occurred, the repairman pried open the locking mechanism inside and repaired it, and there was no replacement of the new seat belt assembly. This way of dealing with it depends on the responsibility of the repairman, if it is very casual, it is likely that the back will not be able to lock to ensure safety.
The situation of the airbag and seat belt is expected by the old high, and it is good to continue to check the button knobs of various functions, but the interior is more scratched and disassembled.
At present, the table is more than 60,000 kilometers, which is relatively small! Reading the OBD data stream, it is confirmed that the kilometer number is a real table, and the total driving time is multiplied by the average speed of 35 hours, and the figure obtained is generally consistent with the table.
Here's the highlight, see how the chassis is fooled!
Serious deformations can be seen at a glance, this place is the firewall of the vehicle, and the strength inside it is very high, because inside is the driver's leg. Now it is directly pushed into the left wheel hub, and it has not been processed. This is an important part directly related to the body safety structure, if you want to repair it is basically to change, raw pull hard to deal with the iron is OK, to deal with this high-strength steel is a joke.
Looking at the part of the wheel lining to cover the obstruction, the root of the left front longitudinal beam is twisted and deformed.
From this reserved hole, you can see the curved lines around the perimeter, which is the collision deformation!
Also here, the two layers of steel plate are already separated!
The right front longitudinal beam is directly cut, it is estimated that the deformation is serious, and if it cannot be repaired, it will be directly cut off and then welded! Major accident car, there is no room for negotiation!
The front wheel suspension does not have to be considered, all are rear replacement, and many of them are disassembly parts.
The engine body is not hit, but the screws that assemble the torque converter are missing, which should be removed and repaired, and the lack of one screw here has little impact. If it is a connection screw between the gearbox and the engine, then one can not be less, one less must be equipped with one.
Yuanbaoliang's screws can also be used as a gasket, which may be a bit incredible, but on the repairman's side, these are all things that can be done. Because you get what you pay for, the repair fee you give is only enough for it to move, then it can run and stop, but how fast can it run and how long can it run? That depends on your guts and luck!
There are too many places to dismantle and replace, the old high only combs a few key places, the two sides of the fender beam deformation, the left front longitudinal beam deformation, the right front longitudinal beam cutting, firewall intrusion, airbag bomb burst seat belt lock, the car condition is very bad, a major accident car. Any of these problems to other cars is not a small thing, but they are concentrated on this A5, can be completely reported to lose!
This A5 is an extreme case, and the people who want to buy it are unaware of it, which shows how much risk there is for used cars, fortunately, customers asked us to test, otherwise they would be pitted in the ditch! Finally, back to the beginning of the question, everyone said that this car with a soul ring?
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!
