The A4 has both four-wheel drive and front-wheel drive versions. Only models equipped with the high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine are four-wheel drive, while other models are front-wheel drive. The domestically produced A4 uses four types of engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a medium-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The A4 is a product of Audi, manufactured by FAW-Volkswagen as a B-segment model. The design of the A4's door handles emphasizes ergonomic effects and comprehensive functionality, with sensitive pressure points for easy door opening. The handles also provide a better grip, allowing for forceful door opening in the event of an accident.

I often study the drivetrain systems of various car models and have found that the Audi A4 typically comes with front-wheel drive as standard, but it also offers a Quattro all-wheel-drive version, which is either optional or available on specific trims. The Quattro system automatically distributes power to all four wheels, enhancing stability and grip on slippery roads or during high-speed cornering. If you purchase a base or lower-spec model, it might be front-wheel drive, but higher-end versions like the S line or premium trims usually come with Quattro. When inspecting the car, checking for the Quattro badge in the trunk or reviewing the configuration sheet is the most accurate way to confirm. The Audi official website also provides detailed specifications. Although the all-wheel-drive version has slightly higher fuel consumption, it offers significantly better driving confidence and handling, especially in rainy or snowy conditions, making it worth considering.

Why is the new car's engine shaking?

Here are the reasons for engine shaking: 1. Aging or loosening of engine mounts. Engine mounts are rubber blocks placed between the engine and the frame, designed to reduce vibrations and shocks during engine operation and to secure the engine. Once these mounts age or become loose, the engine's shaking will become noticeably abnormal. 2. Engine misfire. An engine misfire occurs when one or more cylinders are not functioning properly, typically manifested as intermittent exhaust gas flow from the car. The exhaust pipe shakes violently, and the engine's shaking is clearly noticeable. Sometimes, this is accompanied by a sputtering sound, often related to ignition coil failure. 3. Engine carbon buildup issues. Carbon buildup includes deposits in the cylinders, throttle body, spark plugs, and intake system—all critical areas affecting the engine's power output. Excessive carbon buildup inside the engine reduces ignition energy and intake efficiency, ultimately leading to symptoms like engine shaking and sluggish acceleration. 4. Fuel system malfunction. Using an incompatible fuel grade (e.g., filling 93-grade fuel with 90-grade) can reduce the car's power output and performance. Alternatively, blockages in the fuel tank vent, fuel tank switch, fuel filter, or the fuel line between the tank and the carburetor can restrict fuel supply, resulting in a lean air-fuel mixture and engine shaking.

What to Check Before a Long-Distance Drive?

It's best to have a comprehensive inspection at a 4S shop before a long-distance drive: 1. Check if the engine oil level is within the normal range and whether it needs replacement. Also, inspect the coolant level and quality in the radiator. 2. Inspect the tires for any abnormalities: Pay attention to details such as the tire valve, sidewall cracks or damages, and ensure the spare tire's air pressure is normal. 3. Check if there are any faults in the electronic control system. 4. Inspect all vehicle lights to ensure they are functioning: high beam, low beam, brake lights, fog lights, width indicators, and turn signals. 5. Verify that all necessary tools are in the car: basic tools like knives, wrenches, pliers, and a jack should be present. It's advisable to carry a portable air pump, tow rope, and a gasoline canister. 6. Ensure the fuel tank has sufficient gasoline; don't wait until the fuel warning light comes on to look for a gas station. 7. Take regular breaks during long-distance drives. Stop at service areas approximately every 200 kilometers to rest. After parking, check the chassis for any leaks and inspect the tires for air loss. 8. Lastly, bring the vehicle's maintenance manual. In case of a malfunction, you can refer to the manual for contact information of 4S shops across different regions in the country to obtain technical support.

What are the steps for finding reference points when exiting a parallel parking space?

Steps for finding reference points when exiting a parallel parking space are as follows: 1. After hearing the voice prompt, press the clutch and brake, shift into 1st gear, turn on the left turn signal, and fully turn the steering wheel to the left. Slowly exit the parking space; when the right front corner of the hood aligns with the right roadside line (this is the first reference point), straighten the steering wheel and continue moving forward. 2. Continue moving forward. When the left one-third of the hood aligns with the yellow line (this is the second reference point), turn the steering wheel one full turn to the right; allow the vehicle to navigate around the corner of the parking space and exit. Once the car body is parallel with the road, straighten the steering wheel to the left and exit the parallel parking test area. During the process of exiting the parallel parking space, it is important to control the clutch properly—the speed should be slow, but the car should not stop midway. The timing of turning the steering wheel must be precise; otherwise, missing the correct timing can easily result in crossing the line.

The process is the same as for 2WD vehicles. Vehicle inspection is not related to the drive system; it is determined by the number of seats. Vehicles with fewer than seven seats require an on-site inspection every six years, while vehicles with seven or more seats require an inspection every two years. More details are as follows: 1. Small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected every two years within the first six years, every year after six years, and every six months after 15 years.
