New auto warranty, audi warranty

 Is it true that after 300,000km spoils audi?

At first glance, it would appear that everything is clear . When buying any complex electronic device that we get him a guarantee , provided that we keep the device operating rules . It would seem that the car should be as well, but here begins the debate. Suppose the car to change tires or faulty bulb holder may himself , but to change the oil or coolant is forced to go to a corporate dealer service center and pay for it is definitely more than just service. Why is this comment by UAB autoreviu.lt Sostena professionals.
UAB Sostena sold cars for three categories of guarantees paint warranty , anti-corrosion warranty and a manufacturer's warranty . Guarantees the first two things clear : Use the booklet during the period covered by the manufacturer or its representative takes care of free paint compliance and the vehicle body condition. Truth , anti-corrosion warranty applies when time when the owner checks the body of the car and the bottom of the situation.
Most questions raise " the manufacturer's warranty ." In this case, the seller ensures that customers free disposal of its own motion in accordance with all the requirements for materials and installation problems , as well as compensated for these defects cause loss of ... " .
The guarantee does not apply if : 1. the car has been used for conditions that do not meet the rules , the user's manual or the vehicle's maintenance booklet.
Second Failure is the consequence of the fact that the client failed to supervise or vehicle to the manufacturer's instructions .
Again , it seems everything is clear - have a new car , keeping instructions and warranty valid. Unfortunately, this case raises several questions . For instance, neither shock nor the brake pads are not a warranty details , they may have to change the car's warranty has finished, but the change is only Ebay seller because the warranty expires . Same is the case with the car's fluids (except for window washer ) . They need to be changed , depending on the model, every 15,000 to 30,000 miles . , But the seller insists that it be carried out outside somewhere , and in particular its service. In this case, the " Car Care " it comes down to visiting the dealer service. Alternatives to the owner as is left .
UAB Sostena representatives explained the situation as follows: they sell the car, give him 2-3 years . (Depending on model ) a guarantee that , if needed , can be extended , ready to help the car owner 24 hours . During the day, so they must be sure that the car is properly maintained and managed . changing oil headed workshop and they and the driver will know that oil will be replaced by a new high-quality oil, oil filter will be replaced with all the information entered into the car's computer , and the old grease extracted safely recovered . changing oil garažiniame workshop such guarantees have ceased to exist , and the old grease , and often discarded somewhere nearby. Moreover , any layman intervention in a modern engine may have other negative consequences and the responsibility for such a car salesman no longer . same goes for the pads or shock absorbers . changed when they headed workshop , re-examined and verified , and other car parts . having only the necessary hardware service personnel can identify and remove invisible to the naked eye failure. these all work for the guarantee and warranty Troubleshooting car owner does not always have to pay .
You should also be aware that some new car owner the freedom still remain . Car owner, in consultation with the dealer technicians can install extra car antenna , spoiler , or audio equipment. If this issue will be coordinated with the vendors , guarantees the validity of the additional equipment will not be affected . In this case the only important thing is the use of certified and supporting documentation available facilities.
UAB Sostena experts said , the questions on the mandatory warranty visits garages still arise because Lithuania is not formed " new car culture ." The fact is that Western Europe, bought a new car in person knows that as long as the warranty (and sometimes longer) , he will have to visit the dealer on eBay. Lithuania , where 90 percent . the country's fleet consists of approximately 10 m . old cars, such a perception is not yet . Since Soviet times, people have become accustomed to cars to handle it yourself or use garažinių repair, so the need to visit the workshop headed still looks intimidating.
According to the company Sostena professionals because they provide vehicle warranty , they have to know what is the warranty period of the car has been done , what has been changed or repaired , it is necessary that all repair or replacement car would atvaromas namely the corporate service.
Anyway echoed and Spain, currently residing in our compatriot Mike who drives a Honda Civic . " Said Vytas , you bought a car , he knew that all mandatory inspections will have to go to a corporate service. On the other hand , the corporate service center he can go and not only observed fault, but the suspicion that something the car can not be so. According valid warranty for the car will be checked , and found to be a fault , the fault is removed for free , so go for repair to any other service center it just does not pay.
Unfortunately, experience shows that sometimes branded services are becoming a source of problems ( with the difficulties drivers face official showrooms ), so autoreviu.lt turned to a lawyer Vaidotas Sviderskas with a request to clarify whether the official sellers subject to " lock-in " to their authorized workshops are legitimate. For this case, the buyer unilaterally crafted contract in which the buyer undertakes to deal with, not as comfortable for him, but as a convenient car salesman.
According to the lawyer , the driver before purchasing a car is necessary to analyze in detail and after sales car service conditions and prices , which are often low-cost car and are higher than brangesniųjų . Especially need to pay attention to it or the car dealer declared warranty service is included in the price of parts and materials used in the price . Usually it is the latter are not advertised , so it should be made clear how the respective authorized service costs per liter of the oil , brake pads , light bulbs , etc. ( and the price even compared to others, even negaražiniais garage or shops can vary by several times). Need to pay attention to the fact that the buyer will not be able headed salon buy cheaper ' detail of the uncertified analogue, so buying a new machine must come to terms with the more expensive the relevant service. Basically branded service- and new car dealers can be justified - if the customer wants to keep guarantee - be nice, and use the corporate repair services. Currently , the user can choose - to save a guarantee or car repairs cheaper, but will void the warranty .
Įžvelgčiau abuse dealer refusing warranty repairs only when the car has been maintained at this workshop and what was purchased , but the next , as well as certified and the same car was trafficking cabin workshop , just like in another city (eg , the car was bought in Vilnius but the same agent Recycling Machines are Panevėžy that and oversaw the car, and its services is cheaper) .
I think the seller may refuse the guarantee scheme to repair the car after failure of detail that is irrelevant to the workshop to the amended nefirminiame (eg the man himself changed the oil , and the warranty period is broken shock absorbers ), but not the abuse , because most likely branded service , even in this case, the warranty procedures neremontuos and discussion, and perhaps even litigation can cost several SYK expensive than performing repair workshop headed .The user should keep in mind that he has the right to make its observations, the proposed vendor to sign the proposed contract, this time it is especially good for the consumer to negotiate , but the warranty time recommend to use only the services of a corporate service , and if the seller is not flexible at all - look at other cars.

Audi A4 why not A6? A6 vs A4

Audi A4. Why not A6 ?
Test Drive
Where two fights - the third win. Dog barks , but the caravan passes . These two sayings are best illustrated by the three most prestigious car manufacturers in March titled "What - what."
There is mainly an indication that the third or caravan in proverbs - Audi AG. While BMW AG and Daimler AG are racing each other bragging even small achievements Ingolstadt Concern quietly but surely go ahead.
One of the last steps , such as the sporty beast " Audi R8 or the world's most powerful station wagon Audi RS6 Avant, you deserve it. And in January Lithuanian market by further evidence - the new sedan Audi A4 generation .
Both bulbs are LED lights in each blockAs a senior "brothers "
Need to confess - find this model criticism is tantamount to trying to look for Lithuanian goods in the Chinese market .
Here is a glance and MMI (Multi Media Interface) , the car features management system , it seems like a complex of higher mathematics for the Humanities , but if you look closely there things simple and logical - as well as the Nokia mobile phone management.
For the first time debut limousine A8 MMI easy to operate - from the notes on the keys and the display is clear where and what to click. A little playing with the knobs will soon establish and insignificant parameters such as the front " parking " sensor alarm sound or frequency.
It's easy to understand why the Audi A4 , rather than any SUV or minivan this year elected to the Lithuanian family car - all it feels like home.
The driver and front passenger seats, adjustable back so that the back to fit his ideal , in the back - a lot of space for adults and children. Alone in their dimensions " Lada " was similar to the A6 .
Functional management system is only at first sight Clyde forest. In fact, it is very simple to operateEquipment, machinery ...
The above- mentioned " Audi " step by step "approach is valid not only for the overall group policy, but the exact nature of the models. This also applies to the new A4 .
Thorough work and investment in new technologies - this model. Starting with precise timing leather seat stitching and finishing with a light -emitting diode ( LED) headlights with daytime running lights feature DLR (which , by the way , the standard equipment) , or lines crossing tracking system Audi side assist .
Audi drive select - another piece of corporate Ingolstadt , allowing the driver to change a few clicks of the button , and power management, and shock position (from comfort to sport ) and the
accelerator mode , and automatic transmission shift torque.
There is a few
As the sky - as well as on the ground. As for the " Audi A4" - as it seems , so the ride. Compared to the previous model , the front axle moved 15 cm forward, which allowed optimal distribution of load on the axles . Now this ratio - 55:45 front and rear .
And because of this, and a new rear axle design car is a dynamic and stable. Moved closer to the steering wheel turns the wheels allows to feel the contact with the road - if it is not slick, seems to obey your wishes.
2.7 TDI V6 engine - as well. Ability to press the accelerator , and it seems that the maximum speed - 226 km / h - a snap . It is. Only at this speed not funny , no matter how much innovation is nested in the machine . And I do not want to try to ensure that the producer claims about high-strength body is the truth ...
So, advice to prospective owners - do not exaggerate , because the Audi A4 is made ​​easy. All other machinery in the engineering piece will do for you.
