    Which Haldex GEN? 11/06 S3

    That’s the one I bought, be aware you may need a replacement filler plug as well, mine had the Allen key socket rounded off, I had to undo it with a hammer and chisel, also get yourself a syphon pump, to fill the unit I got one from Halfords for six quid.

    Need help choosing my first car. A3 or A3Q? or BMW

    Quattro will definitely be able to put the power down, rather than just spinning the tyres, bimmer engines aren’t that reliable, just like most cars, depends how they’ve been treated and maintained.

    You could always have a look under the back to see if there is a rear differential, it will be pretty obvious tbh.
