Bedienungsanleitung Audi A4 B5 Roof
Avant (pre-facelift)The first generation Audi A4 (known internally as the Typ 8D) debuted in October 1994, with production starting November 1994 and European sales commencing in January 1995 for the 1995 model year. North American sales later began in September 1995 for the 1996 model year. It was built on the, which it shared with the fourth generation. Many variations of the A4 were also available with Audi's system. The A4 was initially introduced as a four-door; the Avant was introduced in November 1995 and went on sale in February 1996.Development began in 1988, with the first design sketches being created later that year. By 1991, an exterior design by Imre Hasanic was chosen and frozen for November 1994 production by 1992. The interior design was later finalized in 1992, with pilot production commencing in the first half of 1994.
Development concluded in the third quarter of 1994, preceding November 1994 start of production.A wide range of engines were available in European markets, between 1.6 and 2.8 litres for; and a 1.9-litre available with 's VE technology, capable of achieving a 90 PS (66 kW; 89 bhp) or 110 PS (81 kW; 108 bhp). The 2.6 and 2.8-litre which had been carried over from the old proved popular, although in North America, the 2.8-litre engine was the only V6 that was available there until 1997.The Audi A4 was the first model in the Volkswagen Group to feature the new 1.8-litre 20v engine with, based on the unit had developed for their race car. A 1.8T version produced 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) and 210 (155 ) torque. Moreover, a special edition of the B5 1.8T was later available in Germany and Europe, for which the engine's power output was raised to 178 PS (131 kW; 176 bhp) and 235 N⋅m (173 lb⋅ft). Five-valve technology was also added to a reengineered V6 family of engines in 1997, starting with the 2.8-litre V6 30v, which now produced 193 PS (142 kW; 190 bhp), followed by a 2.4-litre V6 which was a downsize from the previous 2.6 litre, 150 hp engine, but with a power increase to 165 PS (121 kW; 163 bhp).Audi also debuted their new automatic transmission on the B5 platform, based on the unit developed for their -generation. The transmission is a conventional gearbox with a torque converter offering the driver fully automatic operation or manual selection of the gear ratios.The B5 marked Audi's continued move into the midsize luxury car segment, having started this trajectory notably with later model years of the preceding.
Despite initial mechanical problems, overall build and assembly quality were lauded both by the automotive press and within Audi and Volkswagen, and at the time, parent company Volkswagen declared the B5 the company-wide build quality benchmark for all its other models.Facelift (1999.5–2001.5). Avant (facelift)The Audi A4 B5 saw nearly constant minor changes and alterations throughout its seven-year run. Moreover, a significant was introduced for the 1998 B5 model year at the 1997, with sales beginning in Europe in early 1998. The 2.8-litre 30-valve replaced the 2.8-litre 12-valve. A 2.5-litre V6 (TDI) with 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) was standard on the quattro.
A six-speed manual gearbox was available, as well as the new high-performance, now part of the A4 lineup (the previous S4 had been an ). Cosmetic updates included new rear lights, headlights, door handles, and other minor exterior/interior changes.In mid-1998, the 1.8 20vT engine available outside Europe had its power output raised to 170 PS (125 kW; 168 bhp).
The previous K03, although fundamentally unchanged, received revisions on the turbine side to prevent cracking due to heat. The 12-valve V6 was replaced by the 30-valve unit which had been available in Europe for two years.A further facelift took place across the A4 and S4 platform in February 1999 as a 1999.5 model; changes were largely cosmetic, but affected many components, such as both front and rear bumpers, the front and rear lights, the center console, and door handles. This facelift was known at Audi as a Grosse Produktaufwertung ( Major Product Upgrade), as was also signified by facelift cars now carrying the denomination '8D 2'.In 1999 Audi also debuted an even higher performance Renn Sport model (rennsport literally translates as racing sport), the, like its predecessor, available only in the Avant bodystyle.Engines The following were available:typemax. CabrioletThe next A4, internally designated Typ 8E, debuted on 10 October 2000, now riding on the. The car's new styling was developed under Peter Schreyer between 1996–1998, inspired by the Bauhaus design language of the C5 (second-generation) introduced in 1997. The 1.6-litre base model powerplant remained unchanged, but most other received either displacement increases, or power upgrades. The 1.8-litre 20-valve was now available in two additional versions, with 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) or 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp), this one with a standard six-speed, while the naturally aspirated 1.6-litre and 2.8-litre were replaced by 2.0-litre, and all- 3.0-litre units, still with five valves per cylinder, the most powerful of which was capable of 220 PS (162 kW; 217 bhp) and 300 N⋅m (221 lb⋅ft) of torque.
The 1.9 (TDI) engine was upgraded to 130 PS (96 kW; 128 bhp), with (PD) technology, and was now available with permanent, while the 2.5 TDI high-end model was introduced with 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp) and standard quattro. This generation of quattro consisted of default of 50:50 front to rear dynamic torque distribution. A ESP 5.7 (ESP) system, with (ABS), and (EBD) were standard across the range.The Avant was introduced in June 2001 and arrived in European showrooms in September 2001. For 2002, Audi increased power in the 1.8 Turbo engines to 183 PS (135 kW; 180 bhp) and 190 PS (140 kW; 187 bhp) – the 190 PS variant designated by a red 'T' on the boot lid. Available with four wheel drive and in the 2.5 TDI intermediate version to 163 PS (120 kW; 161 bhp). A 2.0 engine with (FSI) was also available.
Audi A4 B5
A year later, Audi reintroduced the S4, now powered by a 344 PS (253 kW; 339 bhp) 4.2 L, as well as an A4 Cabriolet variant ( Typ 8H), finally replacing the -based Audi Cabriolet which had been discontinued in 2000. It included an electro-hydraulic operated roof, which lowered in under 30 seconds and incorporated some styling changes, such as body-coloured lower bumper and sill panels, which later found their way to the saloon version.Audi introduced a developed by, named, which replaced the dated conventional automatic transmission on models. The transmission won considerable praise from the automotive press, and is generally regarded as being the best of its type in the world, due to its light weight and promptness in response. This high strength chain driven CVT was made from highly durable metals and used a very high grade, purpose-designed fully synthetic lubricant. However, there have been widespread complaints from consumers around the world that the transmission box is prone to electronic glitches as well as mechanical problems.Borrowing from the, the boot was redesigned to remove the extension of the top edge with a smoother fold line.
The rear light assemblies now formed part of the top line, these styling cues were eventually borrowed by other European as well as Asian manufacturers.A sport package named 'Ultra Sport' was introduced in the North American market shortly before the B6 was replaced by the B7. It included aluminium interior trim and door sills, steering wheel, front and rear spoilers, side skirts, and designed 18-inch RS4 alloy wheels.Engines The following engines were available:typecyl.max. InteriorAudi introduced a revised A4 in late 2004, with the internal designation of.
Although given a new platform designation, the B7 was essentially a heavily facelifted and revised version of the B6, with revised steering settings, suspension geometrynew ranges, navigation systems and chassis electronics (including a new advanced ESP 8.0 (ESP) system). The front grille assembly changed to a tall trapezoidal shape in the same manner as the C6 (third-generation); however, the dashboard and interior were virtually unchanged from the B6 aside from minor detailing.Audi's internal platform nomenclature uses PL46 ( passenger car longitudinal platform, size 4, generation 6) for both B6 and B7 chassis. The Typ 8E and Typ 8H internal designations are also carried over from the B6 A4 range, but now have an additional identifying suffix – 8EC for the saloon, 8ED for the Avant, and 8HE for the Cabriolet.The engine lineup received many additions. The 2005 introduction of (FSI) on the 2.0 TFSI and 3.2 FSI, as well as other refinements, increased power output to 200 PS (147 kW; 197 bhp) and 255 PS (188 kW; 252 bhp), respectively. These engines both use a four-valve per cylinder configuration. The prior 5-valve design was incompatible with the FSI direct injection system (due to the siting of the fuel injector, now discharging directly into the combustion chamber).
The 2.0 (TDI) now combined (PD) technology with 16 valves, while the larger 2.5 TDI V6 diesel was superseded by a 3.0 V6 TDI, offering a 204 PS (150 kW; 201 bhp) model during the year 2005 which was upgraded to a 233 PS (171 kW; 230 bhp) model in 2006. A 2.7 V6 TDI was added later.T-2 based permanent remained as an option on most A4 models. Audi retired its 5-speed in favour of a new 6-speed. As before, (CVT), now with selectable 'seven-speeds', was an option on front-wheel drive models, whilst a conventional was an option on the quattro models.In addition to the, which carried over the from the B6 S4 – Audi reintroduced the developed ( RS for Renn Sport) to the lineup, for the first time on the and body, and with a naturally aspirated, but high-revving 4.2-litre FSI engine. Another notable inclusion on the RS4 is the latest generation T-3 quattro 4wd system, which uses a 'default' asymmetric 40:60 front-rear dynamic torque distribution bias.
This new asymmetric centre differential was initially only available on the RS4, but was added a year later on the S4. The remainder of the B7 A4 range still used the T-2 50:50 default dynamic split centre diff. Audi A4 DTM EditionA variant, developed by, was first introduced in May 2005, named 'Audi A4 DTM '. It was inspired from Audi's race cars of the 2004, and was reintroduced in 2006 as a regular option. The 2.0T FSI engine received revised software mapping to the ECU, which increased the output to 220 PS (162 kW; 217 bhp) and 300 N⋅m (221 lb⋅ft) of torque.
It was available with front-wheel drive, or quattro four-wheel drive.The B7 Cabriolet model arrived later than the other two body variants, with sales beginning in February 2006. Main article:When the successor B8 A4 range was introduced, the B7 series A4 was restyled and as the in 2008 with changes to the front and rear plus interior trim from the A4 Cabriolet. The entire Audi B7 A4 production line from Audi's was dismantled and sent to 's related factory in, Spain. Engines The following engines were available:engine type/ drivemax. ^ TFSI combines. The badge simply states 2.0 T though.
^ In 2005 only available as DTM Edition. From summer 2006 on available for all saloon and Avant. There were two different versions – one had an 8 valve cylinder head the other had 16 valves. They had the same power and torque output and performed equally. Customers could not choose directly between those two engines. They got the 16-valve version when they ordered the otherwise they got the 8-valve version. In many countries the DPF became standard equipment for all B7 diesel engines from model year 2006 on and the 8-valve engine was no more.
Only available for model year 2005. No available for this engine. In 2006 replaced by the 2.7 V6 TDI engine. ^ Not available before model year 2006. Only available for model year 2005. In 2006 replaced by a stronger version of the same engine.Safety The Audi A4 offers many standard safety features, including ESP 8.0 (ESP) with (ABS), side in the seats, 'sideguard' curtain airbags, and its optional four-wheel drive system.
It also received the (IIHS) 'Top Safety Pick For 2007'. EuroNCAP crash test results from the B6 apply to the B7 model. InteriorAudi released the first official pictures of the series A4 in August 2007, and unveiled the car to the public at the September 2007. And Avant models are offered. The Avant was unveiled to the public at the March 2008.
For North America destined models, the B8 continued in production for the 2016 model year, while Europe began deliveries on the 2016 B9 model.The B8 A4 is built on a variant of the, a platform which is also used in the. While prior A4 chassis were limited in due to the relationship between the engine, transmission and front axle, the MLP allows for a reduced front overhang, resulting in a greater wheelbase length without the same increase in overall length.
This effectively redistributes the centre of gravity slightly rearwards, improving handling by better balancing vehicle mass between the front and rear axles. The estimated static front:rear weight ratio of the B8 A4 is approximately 55:45, depending on body style and engine. The relocation of the steering rack in front of the axle also improves handling over previous A4 platforms. Key to the implementation of MLB is the novel mounting of the in front of the clutch. This is achieved by driving the flywheel/clutch remotely by means of a 'top hat' shaped drive plate, between which the differential lay shaft passes, whilst power transmission to the final drive is via an inclined transfer shaft which runs the length of the transmission unit. Whilst the platform retains Audi's 'overhung' engine mounting position, the front axle is now 152mm further forward than the previous B6/B7 generation platform.
The transfer shaft, however, has the effect of creating a large 'bulge' on one side of the transmission tunnel, which on right-hand drive versions forces the pedals to be badly offset, which has attracted criticism from the British motoring press in particular.The B8 A4 has increased in wheelbase by 160 millimetres (6.3 in) and in length by 117 millimetres (4.6 in) over the prior B7, which has allowed for increased rear seating legroom. Although the overall dimensions have increased, the kerb weight has dropped some 10%. The boot (trunk) has also increased to 480 litres (17.0 cu ft) for the saloon (sedan) version. The A4 Avant will have a maximum capacity of 1,430 L (50.5 cu ft) with the rear seats folded down.Reception has been mixed, with praise for the Audi A4's increased size, giving it best-in-class rear legroom and trunk space in the compact executive car segment. Its inline-4 2.0 TFSI engine, while efficient providing plenty of torque, was considered lacking and less refined compared to 6-cylinder engines of lighter rivals who posted faster acceleration times.
However, the has been well-received for its V6 3.0 TFSI engine's power and efficiency.The B8 A4 was facelifted in early 2012.During a model cycle changes are made to integrate new technologies and to keep the model competitive. These changes are referenced based on the model year (MY) of the car.In Australia, the B8 has undergone 2 revisions leading to three variants, the B8, B8 MY10 and B8 MY11.Body types. A4L (pre-facelift) Sedan Audi released the first official pictures of the series A4 in August 2007, and unveiled the car to the public at the September 2007. And Avant models are offered.Avant The Avant station wagon / estate was presented at the March 2008.A4L The A4L is a long-wheelbase version for the Chinese market, with a 60 mm (2.4 in) longer wheelbase and length.
