Re: Traction Control Disable

I can second that

Should be a fun set up. From what i've heard, Quattro is better than Haldex, however i've never driven Quattro, and really have absolutely NO COMPLAINTS about Haldex. Winters are quite fun!!!

I thought Haldex made both Quattro and 4motion?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haldex_Traction

The Haldex LSC has been used in 4WD models of Volkswagen by the name "4motion", and Audi cars under the name of "quattro". The same labels have also been applied to Torsen-based, permanent full-time 4WD systems from both Volkswagen and Audi, which has led to confusion, and some heated debate as to the relative merits of each system. This is due to confusion over nomenclature; based on the fact that the original Audi Quattro coupé did use a torque-sensing centre differential (not Torsen, however), many fans believe that "quattro" refers to said type of 4WD system, not realising that it is simply a trademark. (It is interesting to note that "quattro" is also used on the Audi Q7 SUV, which uses neither Torsen ( maybe this tip is not true: check here [9] ) nor Haldex; instead, it uses a BorgWarner system).

Re: Traction Control Disable

Regarding the ESP, is it pretty much the same for the years it has been used in VW's, or have there been significant improvements? I'm sure it's been tweaked here and there, just curious if you were comparing a 2001's ESP to a 2010's ESP, if its the same thing, or if newer systems have worked out some of the kinks that guys here don't like.

Re: Traction Control Disable

Haldex is a different system than a center torsen diff.

Most audis use torsen with the expception of a3's and tt's which use pretty much the same haldex system as an R32
