Chapter 0252: Volkswagen Maitway II

"Volkswagen Maitway? How is this car?" The square shape of the Maitway looks a bit like an ordinary Chinese van. Mu Qing was a little curious about its condition. Look at any car and see if Zhang Chen can tell its condition.

Zhang Chen is a man with a system. Of course, the situation of the Maitway came casually. He explained in detail that the Maitway and the Mercedes-Benz Viano, Toyota Senna, Chrysler Grand Rapids, etc. are a class of models.

Such a 5-door, 6-seat mpv doesn't sell well in China. On the contrary, like a pickup, it sells very well in the Bald Eagle country, because the Bald Eagle country people like to go out on weekends. There are many people who drive mpvs, load a lot of things, and the car is small. inconvenient.

The best-selling mpvs in Bald Eagle Country are Toyota Sienna, Chrysler Grand Vantage and Honda Odyssey. It is a pity that the top three do not have Mitway and Mercedes-Benz Viano.

This car is a 2008 3.2l Maitway with a length of 4890 mm, a width of 1904 mm, a height of 1970 mm and a wheelbase of 3000 mm.

The engine model is: cfl, 3.2vr6.

This engine must be very familiar to Defan, it is the one on the Golf R32.

Like the engine of the Volkswagen r36, it belongs to the engine of the vr6.

In addition to the Golf R32, there are also imported Magotan 3.2 and early Cayenne versions using this engine.

The data of 235 hp and 315 Nm can only be considered ok. For such a heavy and big car, the maximum speed can reach 200, and the acceleration of zero to 100 is ten seconds. It is even stronger than Sagitar and Corolla, and it is quite powerful to drive. of.

The vr6 engine is matched with a 6-speed manual transmission. In 2008.09, dual-clutch was not so popular, and it was still a front-wheel drive two-wheel drive. It was not until the 12th model that there was four-wheel drive.

At that time, the new car landed nearly 620,000, and now the mileage of 190,000 and the age of the car are 11 years old. The market price of used cars is around 110,000.

Of course, used cars pay attention to one car and one condition, and one condition and one price. The price will fluctuate up and down with the age and condition of the car.

Zhang Chen explained to Mu Qing while taking her to check the situation of Volkswagen Metro. The two walked to the side of the car from the front, pointed to the open car and said, "In China, Volkswagen Metro is attractive to government agencies and enterprises. The biggest factor for business units to buy this car is that the space is large, the interior of the car is very high, and the air volume of the air conditioner can be adjusted under each seat.

Because it is a six-seat model, its middle aisle is very wide, allowing people to walk freely, and it can also play the role of cargo at critical moments, which is more practical than Toyota Alphard and Mercedes-Benz V-class.

This six-seat Mitvey is the same as Toyota Alpha, and the second-row seats can be rotated 360 degrees for oil.

Even the third-row seats are individually adjustable, and there are drawers under the third-row seats.

If there is an urgent matter, everyone gets in the car, turns the second row of seats to the back, and puts a small table from the original factory in the middle, which can completely replace the conference room, which is convenient for passengers to meet and discuss, thus saving time. "

Large space is the first advantage of Volkswagen Metway, and the second advantage is the good quality of the three pieces.

The chassis of German cars is generally tight and neat, and it is very stable when running at high speed.

And just now, Zhang Chen introduced to Mu Qing that this Maitway uses the same engine model and is matched with a six-speed manual gearbox that is not dsg. Even if you can't experience the ultimate speed and perfect control, it is better than stability. And durable, except for the common problems of burning oil and shaking, as long as the engine is properly maintained and not made indiscriminately, there is almost no mechanical failure.

It will not leave the leader on the road, let alone the embarrassment of the driver lying under the car repairing the car in the wilderness, and letting the boss hand the wrench to the embarrassment.

However, after 12 models, Volkswagen Maitway cancelled the 3.2 engine and replaced it with a 2.0t second-generation ea888 engine. With Volkswagen's 7-speed dual-clutch, the problems began to become more and more.

Whether it is the first generation or the second generation of ea888, there are many problems, burning oil is almost commonplace, and some models almost drink oil because of adjustment.

In addition to burning oil, it is easy to deposit carbon, the spark plug is easy to break, and the timing chain will jump teeth after a long time, resulting in cylinder explosion.

Therefore, after the mileage and age of the car increase, the models equipped with the second-generation ea888 engine must be regularly inspected and maintained. If the engine is neglected, it can put you on the road in minutes. It is not a joke.

In Zhang Chen's view, the dual-clutch gearbox of the new Maitway is even more of a pit.

Like all Volkswagen dry dual-clutches, it has the advantage of fast shifting and smooth mid-to-high gear shifts.

The disadvantage is that there will be relatively obvious shaking when starting, and there will be relatively obvious setbacks when switching low-speed gears.

It was not so obvious when I first bought the car, and it will become more and more shaking as the mileage increases.

It will be much better to drive the car to the 4s shop to initialize the gearbox.

Because the big fool dsg gearbox has been initialized, it can make the worn clutch plate find the proper clearance again.

But at present, many 4S stores do not take the initiative to do it. As for the reason, Zhang Chen didn't say it clearly, and Mu Qing's wisdom can accurately guess it.

If the gearbox is still shaking after initialization, basically you can only replace the clutch plate.

Therefore, the dual-clutch equipped with the 12-year-old Maitway is still relatively squeamish, far less durable than the at gearbox equipped with the 2008 Maitway.

After driving the 12-model Maitway, try to avoid frequent stop-and-go when traffic jams in the city, otherwise even a new car will dare to throw all the people on the road.

So, if you buy a Maitway, you need the 08 model, even if there is no four-wheel drive, no turbocharger, long car age, and more mileage, but it is stable and the price is still cheap.

"Oh, so it is." Mu Qing is a good listener. Even if he had doubts, he did not interrupt Zhang Chen casually. After he paused, he continued to ask, "Don't the 2008 Mitway have no Are there any other shortcomings? You see that these leather seats are aging. The 3.2l engine is also quite high in fuel consumption, right?"

"It's been ten years, and it's normal for the seats to wrinkle and age. Its fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is more than 15 in the urban area, and it runs at a high speed of about 11. It's not too much for a 3.2 engine." Qing's identity echoed her, telling the truth, "These situations are not important, its fault lies in the poor sound insulation and low configuration.

At that time, the new car cost 600,000 yuan. Although there were electric sliding doors, the headlights turned out to be halogen, and the brightness was not enough. At night, it was basically equal to a few hundred degrees of myopia.

In addition, it can be tolerated without a sunroof, and there are no practical functions such as navigation, multi-function steering wheel, tire pressure monitoring, and one-button lift of the windows, so I can only install it myself. "

"Don't even have a multi-function steering wheel?" Mu Qing exclaimed, hurriedly approached the front seat and looked in the direction of the main driver, as expected, as Zhang Chen said, the steering wheel was bare, "Really. "

"Of course, Maitway is actually the fifth generation of the previous Volkswagen t-series. Although it was used as the torch relay car for the 2008 DìDū Olympic Games in China, it was at the level of Wuling Hongguang in its hometown in Europe. It’s a good thing, no wonder Lao Mei doesn’t like it anymore.”

When I heard Zhang Chen say that Metroway's hometown in Europe is actually a model of the same level as Wuling Hongguang, and some accessories are still very expensive, such as a small glass on the middle door costing 20,000 yuan for a new one, the result was again exclaimed.

Zhang Chen's explanation was simple and reasonable, well-founded, coherent, and detailed. Mu Qing listened clearly, and many doubts in his heart were all solved.

At the same time, she was deeply conquered by Zhang Chen's profound car knowledge and admired him from the bottom of her heart.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

Mu Qing's eyes on Zhang Chen also changed gradually. He felt that he was not only handsome, but also really talented and learned. Running two small companies by himself is simply too talented.

Mu Qing lowered his head and pondered whether Zhang Chen should be transferred from the Four Seas Motor Shop to the headquarters of the group. Suddenly, several strong men with big shoulders and round waists walked towards them.
