Quattro(torsen) is the best 4 wheel powering AWD system when all wheels got traction !!! work best on flat surface !!! and the worst AWD system when one wheel dont have traction !!! quattro is for normal cars not for offroads !!! if you going to buy offroad without difflocks you better buy quattro !!!
@motorwolrdpl if you locking rear wheels and center diferential is an open one. then power vill escape to the front wheels. if center diff haz lock upp or limited slip or hydraulic contr. then center diff vill send power to rear whl.
@travelbytommy I have a kind of stupid question but i wanna ask you guys this because you sound like you know what your talking about. Why does the the diff send more power up front when you apply the breaks in the rear? wouldn't it be better if it send more power to the rear. to help out the rear if it has to deal with more force? thanks
I might be mistaking this for EDL actually, I have the 2008 A4, Which should apply the brakes to the spinning tires and send the power to the wheels with the traction and it should just roll out correct?
From what i Understand and read about EDL, shouldn't, in this case, the car apply the breaks to the spinning tires and send the power to the tires with the most traction, the ones not on the roller? so shouldnt this car just roll out?
Yes - I wonder about why the EDL's don't brake with more force - but my guess is that it would wear out the brakes too much (have to replace them too often) and it might make them overheat (unsafe once you get "unstuck"). It's a trade-off. Less maintenance and moving parts. So it means the system is more durable and because it's lighter - the car handles better and gets better fuel economy. The off-road capability wasn't worth it they felt. Again - very few SUV's even have them nowadays
@Tomek2581 - they no longer are using Torsen going forward... they use an in house diff
