One of audi q5's car owners, "screech."
Zhang opened his odiq5 and had already travelled 120,000 kilometres to pax romana. In the last six months, he found himself in a vehicle that was becoming increasingly fuel-consuming and less than 2,000 kilometres away from maintenance, when the dashboard was activated. Two barrels of oil were kept in the trunk on a permanent basis, making it his q5 “exclusive rations”。
The offer from 4s gave him a cooler gas - a major engine repair at a price of 38,000 for a week. Zhang hesitated, and the car was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and spent nearly 40,000 on the engine. Later, after being introduced by his friends, he went to a special course in odi, the cosmopolitan, where the programme offered him was completely destroyed。
"you don't have to fix it. You don't have to tear it down." following the examination by the technical staff of the crown, a completely different programme was offered — free of charge for the treatment of burner oil — at a cost of only one third of the price quoted in the 4s store, with quality assurance of two years or 60,000 kilometres. The old letter was suspicious, but the solution was finally chosen。
Three days later, the truck was lifted, and more than 10,000 kilometres have been driven so far, with no movement of oil。
I've been in the field of audi oil maintenance for years and i've seen so many drivers like chang. In yamato, the water in the audi oil maintenance market is much deeper than you think. The following are some of the main points of the pit, which are the experience of tens of thousands of car owners in exchange for real money and silver。
One, 4s's "big fixer" is not the only way out
Almost all of the audi vehicles carrying the ea 888 motors show varying degrees of engine oil after 8 150,000 kilometres. This is the structural characteristic of the engine, which is induced by the piston ring card delay, the failure of the oil and gas separator and the ageing of the gas-gate seal。
The standard process for 4s is “large fixer + total replacement medium tank” and offers generally range between 28,000 and 45,000. Major overhauls mean that the engine is fully mounted and completely dismantled, which is costly and very demanding for assembly processes. Once the configuration is not sufficiently accurate, subsequent acoustic and vibrating problems can cause further breakdown。
In practice, a clean-up treatment programme is fully feasible as long as the tatter walls are worn to the extent permitted. The root causes of the problem can be addressed through the injection of solvents into the cylinders by specialized equipment, the release of stuck piston rings and the replacement of vulnerable items such as oil and gas separators. In the crown, the success rate of this technology is fairly reliable, and thousands of fuel-burning vehicles have been cumulatively repaired and the recovery rate is extremely low。
I'm not sure if i'm going to be able to do this. Start with a cask pressure test and an endoscope check to confirm the condition of the wall. As long as the walls of the casks are not clearly scarred, priority is given to non-dismantling, with real and silver savings。
The roadside shop's "savings" is the biggest hidden consumption
Some of the owners were deterred by offers from 4s and transferred to the roadside complex. And? Without odie's special inspection equipment, using a generic decoding device, the engine was destroyed when the oil was burned. Today the gas-gate seal is changed, tomorrow the turbine seal is changed for 45,000, three times the problem remains, the money is spent, the car gets worse。
Even worse, the plant is imposted as the original plant. An original plant with more than 400 oil and gas separators and a sub-plant with a price of less than 50, could not be found in the short term, running thousands of kilometres, burning the same oil, and had to be re-checked。
In pax romana, all spare parts are sourced retroactively and the construction process is transparent. More importantly, the technicians here are all from 4s, specializing in audi for seven years, and they're familiar with all sorts of diseases. This accumulation of technology is not available at integrated repair plants。
(b) whether the maintenance shop is focused on the single brand of odie, whether it is equipped with the zioti inspection equipment, and whether the fittings are formally accessible. These three are key indicators, and if one is missing, it is decided to move。
Iii. Prices without process, after all
Many of the car owners are superstitious about what they call “the know-how shop” and feel that a low price is appropriate. The reality is that engine oil management is extremely demanding for the construction process. The temperature of the medicine, the hours of immersion and the extent to which it is properly washed affect the end effect。
Some shops use poor-quality detergents, which are too corrosive and damage the internal oil seals of the engines, treat the symptoms, run 3,000 kilometres and burn again. Such cases are too common in common。
I have said more than once that the management of engine oil is more important in the design than in the construction itself. The practice is to create a special archive for each vehicle, to conduct a full range of tests, to itemize the specific causes of the burner oil, and to develop a targeted governance programme. It is precisely because of the pre-vocation that the efficacy is guaranteed。
(b) ask about the specific governance process of the other party, whether it is a pharmacological, static or dynamic. The more ambiguous the process is, the less informed it is. The contract must be signed in black and white, indicating the duration of the warranty and the scope of the warranty。
Iv. Quality assurance commitments are ambiguous and follow-up advocacy is difficult okay
It is not a one-off sale of cooking oil that the quality clause is the real test of conscience. Most of the shops in the market gave only “verbal assurance” and were in trouble. On the other hand, it is reassuring that all governance projects will have formal quality assurance contracts in place, specifying that there will be a recurrence of engine oil and free return to work during the quality assurance period。
Then chang brought this up and said, "this money is worth it, it's mostly guaranteed and solid." now he runs more than 10,000 kilometres in this q5 and has been in a stable state of oil, and he has become a regular customer of the crown, where he keeps and changes his tires。
(c) practical recommendations: before payment is made, a written quality assurance commitment is required, specifying the duration of the quality assurance, the scope of the quality assurance, and the conditions for return to work. When you meet someone who beat tai chi, don't get lucky and change。
There are a number of specialized shops at the audi, but there are not many that are really skilled, equipped and expensive. The masters of the car have been able to take root for seven years at the same time, on the basis of a lack of routines, a lack of misrepresentation of projects, a lack of spare parts, and the use of solid technology。
The oil in the audi is not terrible, but it is a terrible thing to go to the hospital in such a way that it will not be possible to solve the problem at the expense of innocent money. Find the right store, do it right, save it。
