The difference between Audi's 35 and 40 tail badges mainly lies in power performance. I often research these details and know they represent the engine's power level. Models with the 35 badge usually come with a 1.5T or low-power version of the 2.0T engine, delivering horsepower in the 150-180 range, making them suitable for city commuting—fuel-efficient and practical, like the A4 35 TFSI. The 40 badge, on the other hand, uses a high-power version of the 2.0T or similar engine, with horsepower reaching 190-210, offering quicker acceleration, achieving 0-100km/h in around 7 seconds, which makes overtaking on highways more exhilarating. The higher the number, the stronger the performance, due to Audi's unified naming convention, where increments starting from 35 indicate increased horsepower. In daily driving, the 35 is more economical in congested areas, with average fuel consumption potentially 0.5L/100km lower, while the 40 provides more fun on highways or mountain roads, though it typically costs 10,000 to 20,000 RMB more. I recommend test-driving both models to feel the difference before choosing, based on your driving habits—the more powerful 40 suits enthusiasts who love excitement, while the 35 is friendlier for commuters. Maintenance-wise, there's basically no difference; both use common parts and require regular servicing.

As a seasoned Audi driver who has owned several models, I've personally experienced the driving differences between the 35 and 40 badged versions. The distinction is quite noticeable. The 35 variants like the A3 or A4 offer slightly weaker power delivery, providing smooth urban acceleration and relatively better fuel efficiency - I typically save about half a liter per 100km compared to the 40, making for a more relaxed drive. The 40 models are different beasts altogether, with more aggressive engine tuning delivering quicker throttle response, making highway driving more exhilarating with effortless overtaking. Audi's numerical badging starts from 35, with higher numbers indicating greater power output: the 35 delivers around 150+ horsepower while the 40 approaches 200hp. For daily commuting, the 35 is perfectly adequate, while the 40 better suits long-distance drivers or those who enjoy spirited driving. Price-wise, the 40 commands a premium, but whether the performance upgrade justifies the cost depends on personal budget. For occasional thrill-seekers like myself, the 40 is preferable, while the 35 offers better value for pure commuting. Maintenance costs are comparable, so extra expenses aren't a major concern, though driving style significantly affects fuel consumption - aggressive acceleration in a 40 will burn through fuel faster. Ultimately, test drives are crucial for experiencing these differences firsthand. My usual advice to friends is to first identify their needs before choosing.

Solutions include: 1. Check whether the radial and axial swing and runout of the rim are excessive, and whether there is any brake drag affecting performance; 2. Inspect whether the front and rear tires are twisted, deformed, or bulging, and whether the tire pressure is insufficient; 3. Examine whether the front wheel bearings are damaged and whether the front axle is properly tightened.

What causes steering wheel malfunction in Audi after wading through water?

Audi steering wheel malfunction after wading through water can be attributed to the following reasons: Generator failure: Water ingress into the generator can lead to steering wheel malfunction, causing loosening of the power steering system connections and resulting in partial leakage of steering fluid. Power steering pump failure: Damage to the power steering pump due to water ingress can also cause steering wheel malfunction. The presence of air in the steering system leads to abnormal steering. Another possibility is the slipping of the hydraulic power steering pump's drive belt when it comes into contact with water. Steering gear piston cylinder damage: Mechanical damage to the steering gear piston cylinder from water ingress reduces the sealing performance of the oil seal and damages the control valve. Foreign objects in the steering hydraulic pipeline can cause the steering pump's flow control valve to stick.

Where is the sensor for the left middle air vent of the Audi A6 located?

Audi A6's left middle air vent sensor is located under the hood. Definition of the sensor: It detects engine speed, hence also known as the speed sensor; it detects the top dead center position of the piston, thus also referred to as the top dead center sensor, including detecting the top dead center signals for each cylinder used for ignition control and the first cylinder top dead center signal for sequential fuel injection control. Working principle of the sensor: The function of the crankshaft position sensor is to determine the position of the crankshaft, i.e., the angle of the crankshaft and the engine speed. It usually works in conjunction with the camshaft position sensor to determine the basic ignition timing.
