Hi all just an inquiry quickly.
As the a3/s3 quattro system uses a Haldex to control the drive to the rear wheels the quattro badge in my mind is a lie, being as the car is FWD 90% of the time, where as the A4 has a permanent 4wd system, I was wondering if it would be possible to convert my A3TQS into a permanent 4wd car, if so what I would need such as prop shafts rear diff.... just after some opinions and advice.
My second idea would be to see if it is possible to make the A3 into a permanent rear wheel drive (possibly use the haldex to bring the front wheels to make it 4wd when the rears spin, but have a cut out switch so I can control if the haldex is on or not. so i can drift/have fun).
How much work is envolved.... how much its going to cost me or your ideas on the matter such as seeing if bmw drivetrain fits..
Any thoughts
