Hi all,
Quick question to see if someone here can confirm. Does the A6 have a different Quattro system on the A6 depending on the engine or is that just in the US? I've read comments on youtube and elsewhere that the 45 TSFI engine with the DSG has Quattro "Ultra" which is the glorified Haldex system it seems, and the higher Torque engines like the 50 TDI have the regular full fat Torsen permanent system.
I know Audi were planning to bring Ultra to all longitudinal engines but that the 6cyl diesels were too Torquey for the S Tronic box and because they need the TipTronic they have to use the Torsen system.
It's hard to find the answer to this. Audi clearly wants to introduce this system to all cars as they say it can reduce fuel consumption by 0.3 litres per 100kms and in the new WLTP era that can mean a lot. But I'd hate to see the full fat Quattro gone with it's rear-wheel bias gone.
