Lchong 4th Gear July 15, 2018 Share July 15, 2018 (edited) AWD is All Wheel Drive. So if they car has 6 wheels, all are driven. Unlike 4WD which can only have max 4 wheels driven ðððð Jokes aside.. they work on the same principle isn't it? Different principle, the article DACH kor posted will provide a better explanation. Any person who takes his subaru or Audi quattro to extreme off roading will shortened its drivetrain lifespan. AWD is just there to provide more grip on paved bitumen roads when needed or on wet bitumen roads. The path taken by each wheel isn't the same and hence it is best that all wheels move at different speed, this is where AWD comes to play Edited July 15, 2018 by Lchong ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any option to do outside? Rear diffuser, front lip, side skirts? It's cheaper to do bodykit outside. You can try Audikit at AutoBay @Kaki Bukit.

AWD is just there to provide more grip on paved bitumen roads when needed or on wet bitumen roads. The path taken by each wheel isn't the same and hence it is best that all wheels move at different speed, this is where AWD comes to play AWD for off road (4x4,6x6,8x8) also allows some slip between the wheels during normal driving, unless the differential lock is activated to force all wheels to move at the same speed to get out of tricky situation. Just like I heard over the Chinese radio saying that the word Durian comes from 流连忘返。 Don't believe every thing on the internet, many articles are written by half baked amateurs. what's so great about quattro? how is it different from AWD from subaru? I have nv driven an AWD, to be frank Am into second AWD, frankly no diff for me in day to day driving. Same corner, same speed whether AWD or FWD. Except it always feel strange when doing U-turn like some vibration. It is all marketing hype unless you chiong wet corners 100 percent of the time.

audilover Neutral Newbie November 22, 2018 Share November 22, 2018 Hi all, Can I seek your help on the latest a5 2.0? I have been driving the passat cc 2010 model for a few years, and the gear box has been giving me so much problem and money spent. I will like to know if there are any major issues so far with the 2017 model of A5 SB? I'm currently closing in on the A5 SB from another owner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
