Chapter 347: I Will Do My Best, Try My Best (Ask for Subscription)

Li Lezhi and Lao Hu knew that Fang Yuan was a real person, and they admired his skills even more and didn't talk nonsense, so the two looked at him quietly and waited for an explanation.

Fang Yuan looked at the engine compartment in front of him and said slowly: "There are four models of the 2017 Citroen C5, 350THP Comfort, 350THP Luxury, 380THP Automatic Luxury, 380THP Automatic Prestige ......"

There is no difference in body size between the four models, and all of them are equipped with Aisin's 6-speed automatic manual transmission.

The gearbox of this Aisin is finely tuned, with a smooth start and quick gear shifts, no hesitation in switching, and almost no stuttering in normal driving, which is much better than those dual-clutch transmissions.

But their engines are not the same.

The Citroen C5 2017 350THP luxury model in front of him uses a 1.6T turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 167, a maximum power of 123, and a maximum torque of 245, while the two 380THP models use a 1.8T turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 204, a maximum power of 150, and a maximum torque of 280.

The average fuel consumption of this 1.6T engine on the 350THP is about eight, which is already good as a B-segment car.

Its engine power output is smooth, the initial torque is enough, the middle and rear sections of the acceleration process are slightly insufficient, if you often drive on urban roads, 1.6T daily household pressure-free, at high speed on the car there is a weak heart.

In particular, the 1.6T diesel version of the EA888 engine, known as the PSA version, is in the middle and upper reaches of the same displacement in terms of power and fuel consumption.

However, the diesel version is only sold in Europe, and the engine in front of it is a gasoline version, which is still jointly developed with BMW, but BMW's engine has more twin-scroll technology.

"Developed with BMW?" Li Lezhi sold a lot of BMWs, as soon as he heard that Citroen's 1.6T engine had BMW's share, his heart instantly chuckled, and three words came to mind: burn engine oil.

This was followed by four bright words: oil leakage and oil seepage.

"Yes, as long as it touches the side of the BMW, the engine must burn the oil. Fang Yuan smiled bitterly, the THP series engine jointly developed by Citroen and BMW all burned oil, and the main reason was its PCV valve.

Volkswagen's second-generation EA888 engine burns one liter for 2,000 kilometers, and the 1.6T engine of Citroen C5 is also burned madly, basically 80,000 kilometers must burn engine oil, and the amount is not less than that of BMW and Volkswagen.

If some car owners are almost technical and don't care about it, about 60,000 kilometers in three years have begun.

"80,000 kilometers, three years?" Li Lezhi turned his head to look at the Citroen C5, his face turned blue, he knew that if it was the same as the engines of BMW and Volkswagen, carbon would accumulate and leak while burning engine oil, and the cost of maintenance would be 7,000 to 10,000.

If you are unlucky, there is also a problem with the turbine, and about 15,000 Huaxia coins are gone.

Spending money to repair the engine oil is not a permanent solution to this problem, almost two or three years later, the problem of burning the engine oil will be repeated, and then you can only spend money to repair it.

Li Lezhi remembered that Fang Yuan just said that it was on the card in 2018, and it was almost three years, and the unfortunate thing of buying him home made him stand up.

Li Lezhi made a difficulty, he didn't want to serve this uncle, and he was reluctant to let this car have good driving quality and driving feeling, and the materials were really exquisite in the interior.

Li Lezhi is middle-aged, understand the truth that fish and bear paws can not have both, he finally thought that this Citroen C5 is cheap, the age of the car is short, he feels that burning engine oil is not a big deal, secretly it is a big deal to keep engine oil in the trunk, and check it every morning.

"Citroen C5's 1.6T engine burns engine oil, and the oil leakage is serious, and its cooling system and oil pump are also prone to problems. Li Lezhi lowered his head and did not speak, and Fang Yuan continued to introduce.

"Cooling system and oil pump?" Li Lezhi raised his head and stared at Fang Yuan.

"Yes, sometimes you can't get on in the morning, the idle speed is unstable after playing, and the engine lights up to give an alarm, which is a problem with the high-pressure oil pump. Fang Yuan reluctantly told Li Lezhi that replacing the high-pressure oil pump and replacing the throttle valve would not be solved once and for all, but it would not take long for the same problem to occur again, and then replace the high-pressure oil pump, in short, the same problem occurred again and again.

"Recurring?" Li Lezhi's face was extremely ugly.

"In addition to the high-pressure oil pump, the thermostat is also prone to failure, the water temperature is unstable, and the fan works on its own when the cold car is started, and it runs for a long time without stopping. ”

"The old model has a timing belt, and the 17 models are all timing chains, and there is a clattering sound when the engine starts. ”

"Its water pump is prone to water leakage and antifreeze leakage, and the material of the valve chamber cover gasket is prone to aging, which leads to oil leakage. ”

......

As Fang Yuan introduced the common problems of this 1.6T engine one after another, Li Lezhi's restless heart just now was half cold, and finally sighed: "This 1.6T engine is too ...... Garbage. ”

The problem of burning engine oil can be endured, and it is a big deal to waste some oil money, but the throttle, high-pressure oil pump, thermostat and other problems that Fang Yuan said will cause the engine to lose power if it cannot be refueled.

There is such a fatal problem, in case of such a sudden occurrence in high-speed driving, there will be engine failure at any time, and the consequences are unbearable.

Li Lezhi has both young and old, and he doesn't think about himself, but also thinks about his family.

"In addition to these problems, this engine also has a lot of jitter noise and abnormal noise. Fang Yuan pointed to the thick soundproofing cotton on the inside of the hood and said, fortunately, the soundproofing and noise reduction are handled well, and the feeling of sitting in the car is okay, but you must pay attention to the soundproofing cotton, otherwise it will also be noisy after a long time.

"I don't really care about noise or anything, do you have any other problems?" Li Lezhi is used to seeing too many models with poor sound insulation, and he doesn't care much about this problem.

"In addition to this 1.6T engine, which is burned and leaked, the chassis will also leak oil after a long time. After Fang Yuan put down the hood, he beckoned Li Lezhi and Lao Hu to walk back to the main driver's door of the Citroen C5 and pointed inside.

In Fang Yuan's view, Citroen C5 belongs to the B-class car, this 2017 350THP automatic luxury is the top configuration of 1.6T, its interior materials are good, exquisite workmanship, but its configuration is low, it can't be compared with the same B-class car Audi A4L, Mercedes-Benz C-class, and even the Volkswagen Sutar 2018 280TSI DSG luxury model that Lao Hu just said has more fatigue driving tips than it, rear parking radar, front seat heating, turn assist lights, front fog lights, interior atmosphere lights, Electrically folding ...... rearview mirror

In addition, the low beam and high beam of this model of Citroen C5 are all halogen, while the Volkswagen Sutar is all xenon.

Citroen C5 is stronger than Suteng in that the suspended central control screen looks good, the size is large, and it burns 92 gasoline, unlike the 2018 Suteng, which adds a minimum of 95.

"There is no spare tire, no electric trunk, lane merge assist, lane departure warning system, automatic parking, steep slope descent?" Li Lezhi felt that the configuration of this Citroen C5 was indeed low, and the configurations that Fang Yuan said were just enough, almost crushed by Audi A4L and Mercedes-Benz C.

"That being said, the price of the Citroen C5 is also much cheaper than the Audi A4L and Mercedes-Benz C. Fang Yuan does not agree with Li Lezhi's comparison, the price difference between the three is too much, and these configurations and functions that Li Lezhi said, Volkswagen Suteng 2018 280TSI DSG luxury model also does not.

"The 1.6T engine of this Citroen C5 is a big problem, and it also has a lot of minor problems. Fang Yuan pulled his fingers and introduced to the two of them that its car machine system would freeze, black, and freeze from time to time, and the connection would be unstable and the system could not be upgraded.

There will be abnormal noises from time to time when braking, the instrument is okay to report a fault code, and there are small problems such as the horn not sounding, the air conditioner strikes, the wipers do not move, and the turn signal does not light up.

In addition, even if the gasoline label requirements are not strict, the fuel consumption is now acceptable, and the fuel consumption of this 1.6T engine will become higher and higher with the age of the car.

There is also a Citroen C5 maintenance cycle of 7500 kilometers, A insurance is less than 500 yuan, B insurance is less than 700 yuan, and the cycle is about 2700 yuan, which is not high.

......

If Li Lezhi just heard that the 1.6T engine burned oil, he still had certain illusions about this car, and felt that burning engine oil was more troublesome at most, so he simply didn't repair it, just pay attention to the oil loss.

Later, I heard about the chassis oil leakage, throttle, high-pressure oil pump, thermostat and so on, and after a period of weighing, the balance in my heart was completely inclined to give up.

So after listening to Fang Yuan's introduction of the engine noise, shaking, and low configuration, Li Lezhi behaved very easily, because he no longer planned to buy one for his own family.

As for the idea of distributing this type of car, Li Lezhi also gave up, because he also knew that Citroen C5 was a niche car, with a low value retention rate, few 4S stores, and now he understands that it has a high failure rate, which is really not interesting.

Seeing that Li Lezhi was a little disappointed, Fang Yuan kindly persuaded him: "If you really like Citroen C5, you can take a look at the 1.8T." ”

"Huh?" Li Lezhi looked at Fang Yuan curiously, but he didn't say anything, waiting for Fang Yuan's introduction.

"Citroen C5's 1.8T engine also burns oil, but it is not as frustrating as the 1.6T, and its power is also not good, and it is stronger than the 1.6T, with a fuel consumption of about 8.5. ”

"Forget it, I'll honestly sell my German cars, Japanese cars. Li Lezhi waved his hand helplessly, and he gave up completely, "Let's look at other models, I think that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow the car can arrive in Guide Mansion." ”

"Okay, you two can watch it casually, and call me at any time. ”

After Li Lezhi eliminated the pimple in his heart, the smile on his face became more.

At the same time, Fang Yuan gave him a very good impression, whether it was temperament, conversation, character, and ability, all of which were first-class, so after seeing the terrifying speed of the "Hearing Identification Method", he still chose to believe in his identification results.

In the end, Li Lezhi chose six cars, and Lao Hu chose two.

Fang Yuan knew that Lao Hu had no money, so he chose two cheap models, but Li Lezhi, who had a lot of money and a large business scale, asked for more than he expected, and it was obviously a little less.

Li Lezhi only picked six cars, but he actually did it on purpose, because he was a little dissatisfied with the wholesale price of Masahiro Auto.

Since it was too expensive, I also picked six cars, firstly, because I was embarrassed to go back empty-handed for the sake of Fang Yuan's face, and secondly, because there were many models of Zhenghong Auto Company, and the car was in good condition.

Therefore, Li Lezhi chose six best-selling models that his car dealership urgently needed, and planned to talk about it later.

Li Lezhi didn't say these reasons, Fang Yuan also guessed, and understood that it might be the reason for the price.

The original condition reached with Lin Chenglong was to deduct 0.5% from the cars of other car dealers as his introduction fee.

As long as it is a customer introduced by Lin Chenglong, no matter how many cars he asks, the money will continue to be given until the new wholesale price comes out.

After knowing that Lin Chenglong was still fooling himself, Fang Yuan also thought about canceling his cooperation with him, and went to Sun Yanming to lower the price given to Li Lezhi, leaving Li Lezhi, a real big customer, and finally endured this tempting idea and did not do the thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Whether it is a private buyer or a cooperative car dealer, all of them are treated equally, even if they lose money and their sales are damaged, the promised conditions will be resolutely implemented until the day the contract expires, and then make a new choice.

Therefore, even if he knew that Lin Chenglong had fooled himself and did not give Zhenghong Automobile Dealers a hard publicity in the second-hand car market in Guide Mansion, Fang Yuan was unwilling to violate the spirit of the contract and unilaterally tear up the contract.

Six cars is six cars, Fang Yuan knew in his heart that Li Lezhi would not buy a car at Zhenghong Auto Dealership before the price was changed, and he didn't want to break his promise, so he wouldn't tell him the real price.

Fang Yuan led Li Lezhi and Lao Hu to find Sun Yanming to sign a contract, but Sun Yanming didn't know the true situation of Li Lezhi's big car dealer, but he didn't dislike the two of them only had eight cars.

After greeting the two to sign the agreement, paying the car payment, and completing all the formalities, Sun Yanming politely invited Lin Chenglong and the four of them to dinner.

Li Lezhi looked at his mobile phone, it was already more than six o'clock in the evening, anyway, it would take a while for his car to be ready, they thought that they would return to Defu first today, and it would not be too late to come to Dahai City tomorrow afternoon.

Li Lezhi insisted on leaving, Lao Hu, Lao Wang, and Lin Chenglong also wanted to get together and go back.

Lin Chenglong's sixteen cars have been sent to the auto repair shop for maintenance, he estimated that he would be able to complete all the formalities tomorrow, and immediately pretended to be anxious and asked Fang Yuan: "Manager Fang, can my sixteen cars be delivered tomorrow night?"

Sun Yan had already found an agency tomorrow, as long as Song Guoyuan could prepare the twenty cars today, he would definitely be able to deliver the goods before six o'clock in the evening, and Lin Chenglong would be able to receive the car in Guide Mansion at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

Sun Yanming didn't want to delay the customer's time, and opened his mouth to promise Lin Chenglong that it would be delivered before six o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, and suddenly saw Fang Yuan on the opposite side blinking at him.

Fang Yuan didn't seem to let himself speak?Sun Yanming guessed what Fang Yuan meant, and immediately shut up and swallowed the words that had just reached his mouth back into his stomach.

Just when Sun Yanming's face was full of depression, Fang Yuan said to Lin Chenglong with a smile: "Brother Lin, let's do our best, try our best to leave before tomorrow night." ”

"I can't do my best, I must receive it by twelve o'clock in the middle of the night tomorrow. Lin Chenglong was very anxious, asking Fang Yuan to send sixteen cars over tomorrow.

"I will definitely try my best, do my best, and not delay Brother Lin's time. ”

Facing the eager Lin Chenglong, Fang Yuan's smile and grin were almost like death Sun Yanming, and he always felt that his reaction was different from usual.

Just when Sun Yanming was puzzled, there was a sudden sound of car braking at the door.
