QuattroSport vs S3

[marcyp]

hey i was wundering if any one could tell me what the diffences where in the running gear of my a3 1.8t quattro with the s3?
as i no the diffences between the engines are diffent turbos maps twin coolers and compresion ratios, i was wundering if the qts dose have a haldex or is it just constant 4wd

as i bought the car about 4months ago now
and i can say that its the best car iv ever owned
iv driven cars much newer but nuthink is like the build quatily and the cumfort of the audi
but i do think the remap was well justified lol
thanks in advance

It's the same haldex system as S3 or TT, just a less powerful engine set-up and I think slightly less sportier (softer/higher) suspension, but don't quote me on that.

All 4wd cars based on the mk4 chassis have the haldex.

Engine wise, compression ratios are the same across the board pretty much at 9.5:1

The S3 not the best car i've owned but a damn good all-rounder.

The Haldex controller sounds like a worthwhile upgrade for proper 50/50 4x4

Still not perminent 4X4 and 'up to' 50/50

I thing MTM did a perminent diff lock heldex controler, lots of problems when driving a slow speeds if I remember correctly!
