that this for the separately valuable machines, which do hide under the mask of the decent and solid models of business- class, but do stand considerably more expensive than its "okol'tsovannykh" kinsmen?

Index "S" designates "sport". Under the cowlings of "esok" are located the "charged" benzine power units, and well matched with their high power completely of pererabotany are intensified brake system and suspension. In order to contain bevel gears, are extended the arches of front it is wing. Machines were intended for the well-off automobile enthusiasts, who prefer the active style of ride and the same style of life, which representative transportation means it was necessary to support the appropriate image. In the distant journeys on high-speed avtobanam the high-powered engine is irreplaceable as, however, and with the hauling to the place of leisure on the trailer of launches and yachts - on many "eskakh" there is detachable farkop!

Confusion with indices

despite the fact that Audi S4 (1991 - 95 g. v.), S6 and S6 Plus (1995 - 97 g. in.) they are created on the base of "hundredths" and A6 first generation (В), "eski" they are the separate model number, which consists of two automobiles - 4- door sedan S4 and the 5- door specialist S4 Avant.

V 1994 company from Ingol'shtadta introduced new classification for its models, after which the "charged" versions S4 were renamed in S6, and index S4 switched over to the sport automobiles, created on base Audi Aya.

S6 (В) is differed from S4 (В) exactly as, as "hundredth" from "six" - in terms of bumpers and lateral moldingami, completely painted in the color of body, changed with the form of cowling, with the small right mirror of rear form and with another boot-lid. Front optics remained before. Such block- headlights with built-in "protivotumankami" for the first time appeared on S4. the fact is that in the front bumper to "protivotumankam" did not be located the places, as in usual "hundredths", in "esok" after the wide air duct were located interkuler and oil cooler.

In order to arrange all points above "і", let us say several words, also, about version S6 Plus. This is the most powerful modification S6 with that forced to 326 l. s. by motor V8 with a volume of 4,2 l. these properly exclusive machines are released by subdivision Audi - Quattro GmbH by the limited print run - came into being only of 97 sedans and 855 specialists.

Conveniently to sit you will not forbid!

Traditionally for models Audi of the body of all "esok" are zinc-coated, and 10-year guarantee from the through corrosion was given on them. For the protection of crew in the case of road incidents is used the integrated system of the passive restraint Procon- pentrite, with the collisions which displaces to the side control and pulling the belts of safety. Takeing into account the sport "temperament" of machines, it is possible that they could be in DTP; therefore looked around body should be especially attentively.

Salon of "esok" comfortable and spacious - on the rear seat if necessary will be placed four passengers. Base equipment included central lock, complete electro-packet, conditioner, convenient sport seats Recaro with the leather or sateen finishing and many different adjustments (it is possible "to drive on" under itself even popliteal support). There are no claims to the quality of plastic details and surfacing materials - even on the automobiles of the first are annual release they they appear well. But here the field of view a little limit rear head rests.

Hot "hearts"

as become to sport automobiles, the rule of the power units of "esok" consisted only of gasoline engines - one 5- drum, equipped with turbine supercharger (AAN), and two atmospheric 8- drum - (ABH), borrowed in the former flag officer Audi V8 and his forced version - (AHK). These "monsters" provided to almost two-ton automobiles hurricane dynamics. For example, sedan with the 230- strong motor was accelerated to "hundred" for 6,8 s, with the 280- the strong - for 6,2 s, and with the 326- the strong - in all for 5 s! Maximum speed "is restrained" by electronics on the mark 250 km/h.

According to the specialists, engines are capable of serving more than 500 thousand. km the multi-liter aggregates V8 are more problematic - on the German standards, they do not be subject to overhaul. Their aluminum cylinder blocks are poured as single whole together with the thin-walled cases, covered with special wear-resistant spraying, because of what case it cannot be drilled under the repair dimension. Domestic masters nevertheless learned to make "kapitalku", perepressovyvaya block with new cases. In the machines with the path of more than 250 thousand km are possible the leaks of oil from under the padding of valve cover, stuffing boxes of distributive and elbow-shaped it is gross. Failures of lambda- probes were noted, in consequence of which significantly increases even without that the big enough fuel consumption.

The turbirovannogo motor AAN it is possible not to fear: the workers of firm ONE HUNDRED noted that the turbine of this aggregate serves very for long - the cases of its repair they recollect could not. Then were noted the cracks of inlet manifolds and plastic housing of the additional "pump" with the electric drive, intended for the best engine cooling.

Coast pedals!

"eski" were equipped 5 and with 6- stepped "mechanics" and 4- stepped "automaton".

V mechanical transmissions go out of order the synchronizer of low gear KPP and clutch pedal. Takeing into account the high power of engines, springs on the basket of cohesion made considerably harder; therefore substantially grew pedal force of cohesion. The metal did not maintain and broke in the course of time.

Automatic KPP is sufficiently reliable. The unit of its control was equipped with program DSP (Dynamische Schalt Program - the Ger. program of dynamic switching), which can "be adapted" to different styles of ride and optimize gearshift. Servicing "automaton" consists in the replacement of oil, filter and padding of the oil tray of every 60 thousand km.

Vo of all KPP in the course of time were noted the cases of the leak of oil from under the stuffing boxes of semiaxes.

For the best realization of the high torque and confident motion at the high speeds all "eski" were equipped with the firm all-wheel-drive transmission quattro with the mechanical differential Torsen, which ensures a constant redistribution of torque between the front and rear wheels. Moreover, in the machines, released up to 1994, transmission is equipped with the forced blocking of rear interwheel differential. Later a function of blocking began to achieve electronic assistant - protivobuksovochnaya system. As specialists certified, quattro was reliable and serves for long.

It is rigid, but

v favor of high dynamic characteristics suspension confidently made more powerful and more rigid; therefore in the smoothness of the motion of "eski" they noticeably be inferior to "hundredths" and A'. At the same time machines with the complete drive are characterized by high stability. Front and rear suspensions - independent variables.

More frequent (through 40 thousand km) with the ride along the Ukrainian roads it is necessary to change the bushings of the stabilizer of lateral stability. The silent blocks of front forged it is lever "leave" 70 - 80 thousand km they change separately, and here spherical bearings are delivered only together with the lever. Although, on the assertion of specialists, "ball" serve for long.

Rear suspension it is necessary to attend on the average of every 70 thousand km - are so many capable "of nursing the" silent blocks of rear it is lever and the thrusts of the adjustment of the camber of rear wheels.

Rack steering control is equipped to g/u, that changes the degree of strengthening in the dependence on the speed of motion. In the course of time the high-pressure hose of the system of hydraulic amplifier can give leak. Because of the break of the anther of lath and entry of sand and mud the stuffing boxes of lath pass working fluid. The tips of steering rods serve about 60 thousand km.

For the confident retarding from the high speeds was used the more powerful brake system, borrowed in the then flag officer V8. all mechanisms disk, front - double-piston, and on version S6 Plus - four-piston! Brake system is equipped with that disconnected ABS, by powerful hydraulic amplifier and with storage battery, which accumulates and is maintained the pressure, necessary for the normal functioning of system. In the old machines the pressure accumulators go out of order. Because of the corrosion they can shim the guides of supports (most frequently rear); therefore during the replacement of boot-trees specialists recommend cleaning and the lubricating of guides.

Dish for epicures

purchase of "those charged" Audi S4, S6 and S6 Plus is recommended to automobile enthusiasts, who know sense in these machines, which he does not astonish, that for this "hundredth" request so many money, and they are prepared to lay out big enough sum not only for the purchase of "eski", but also to be expended on its expensive content - indeed those details, which are not standardized with the "hundredth" and A', they cost the time in one-and-a-half or two more expensive. Will approach "eski" and to the family automobile enthusiasts, who need spacious and comfortable transportation means, whom not away, after pressing accelerator pedal, with lightning speed to leave behind the neighbors along the flow.

Aleksey, 47 years
exploits machine 1 yr, Audi S4 4,2 l (280 l. s.), path - 268 thousand km, age - 10 years

machine I selected osoznanno - in me this is already second "eska". The first was equipped shityu the turbirovannym 2,2- liter engine, and present - by more powerful 4,2- liter. This version porezveye turbirovannoy, yes even multi-liter motor poelastichneye - makes it possible infrequently to be switched. In the urban cycle the fuel consumption reaches to 17-18 l on 100 km I experience enormous pleasure from the ride on this automobile.

Machine is sufficiently reliable. In the time of operation it was necessary to sort out the rear brakes (it managed about $300), to replace the back rests ("beushnye" - $50). One additional observation - the poor start of low gear and the increased rumble during the motion on it.

Soon "esku" sell not I will be - already very it me pleases itself.

Nikolai, 47 years
exploits the machine of 3 years, Audi S4 2,2 l Turbo (230 hp), path - 240 thousand km, age - 12 years

4 large worshipper of automobiles Audi. "esku" it very for long searched for, and as soon as found, it immediately purchased. It was a little worn - it was necessary to sort out entire suspension and to replace the flow meter of air (about $1500).

Because of the complete drive the stability of machine at the high speeds is simply remarkable as, however, and the passability - in winter I pass in those places, where many "mono-drivingcIki" helplessly skid. Blocking rear differential greatly helps with the snowy, sandy or mud trap. But "automaton" me does not greatly please itself, better there would be "mechanics". Salon very spacious and convenient - in it can be placed even 6 people. Is good large baggage carrier; however, with the transportation of lengthy it is cargo they appear complexity - in the back of rear sofa there is only small inspection hole.

Machine does not draw attention - by sight of usual "hundredth", but when it is necessary sharply to be accelerated, then behind remain many "athletes". In the urban cycle the fuel consumption - about 15 l, and on the route - about 11 l on 100 km.

By predecessor of "those charged" S4 was Audi 200, created on the base of "hundredths" with the body of series 44. Outwardly "two-hundredth" was differed from "hundredth" in terms of other front and rear optics, radiator lattice and bumpers. Its salon is completed considerably richer, but the key advantage was located under the cowling - these machines were equipped with the powerful 5- drum turbirovannymi engines with a volume of 2,2 l (165 hp), of 2,2 l (182 l. s.) and 2,2 l 20V (220 hp).

Second generation of "esok" (series of yaV) outwardly more noticeably is differed from the usual A' - them decorate front bumpers with the large air ducts, large 17- one inch light-alloy disks on S6 18- one inch to R (standard - 16), and also chrome-plated mirrors of rear form.

Technical characteristics of power units impress: V8 4,2 l 40V (340 l. s.) accelerates S6 to "hundred" for 6,8 s, and V8 4,2 l 40V Biturbo (450 l. s.) R - in all for 4,9 s. To the Ukraine these modifications were supplied only under the order.

In spite of the appearance of sequential, third generation Audi A', model S6 and R continue to be let out with the body of yaV.
