The inspector said the car's exterior was clean and tidy with no obvious scratches, the interior was also clean, and the acceleration was excellent with no noticeable performance degradation. The Audi A4L became very popular after the 2009 extended-wheelbase model was launched, thanks to Audi's strong brand influence in China and its exterior and interior design that perfectly catered to the preferences of domestic consumers. It quickly grew into a leader in the domestic B-segment luxury car market and is also a highly regarded model in the used car market among the BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) brands. The owner said the Audi A4 has undergone three generations of evolution in China. The first generation was the domestically produced Audi A4, which, although with excellent power and handling, had a narrow audience and low sales. The second generation introduced the extended-wheelbase A4L, mainly expanding rear passenger space to match the Audi A6L, and subsequently achieved great success. The third generation began to equip the vehicle with high-tech features, making it a technologically advanced and spacious model in its class.
We use a calibrated high-precision paint thickness gauge to take multiple measurements on at least 13 metal surfaces of the entire vehicle. The original paint thickness of mainstream Chinese models typically ranges from 90μm to 150μm. If any area exceeds 200μm or even reaches over 500μm, we will directly conclude that the area has undergone bodywork and filler repair.
We must inform you objectively: Most Chinese car manufacturers' connected services (cloud servers) are restricted by data security regulations and overseas network limitations. Once the vehicle leaves China, the factory-installed SIM card will become inactive. This means that official OTA upgrades and factory mobile app remote controls (like pre-cooling the car or unlocking doors) typically cannot be used overseas. The vehicle will operate as a standalone version, but this will not affect basic driving and physical button functions.
This is a typical case of "secondary damage caused by unprofessional rescue." Many hybrid vehicles require access to "maintenance mode" via engineering computers to allow the water pump to run at full speed for exhaust. We do not bear any moral or financial responsibility for cylinder damage caused by local technicians' misoperation.
