Cheers!
New member here, hope I post in the right place. I'm seriously considering buying an 8L S3 for a daily, have seen some examples, haven't made up my mind yet.
The only fact that's holding me back is the general opinion on 1st gen haldex awd system. Right now I drive RWD and the last thing I wish for is understeer. I've found several threads on haldex upgrades, but there seems to be a lot of misconceptions on the subject (usually going on for 25 pages/thread), and most of these topics are 5-6 years old.
What's up in 2017? Is there generally accepted opinion on 1st gen haldex upgrades/potential? 'Do's and 'Don't's? Is it possible to make a haldex system act more or less like a longitudinally-mounted quattro engine? Any input appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
