Also, the A3 and S3 have >transverse engines. Doesn't the A2 have a transverse engine too? There is a distinguishing feature of transverse engines, with regard to 4-wheel drive, in that they all use the Haldex electric differential between front and back. The models with longitudinally mounted engines all use the Torsen mechanical differential. I'm not enough of an engineer to know whether there is a mechanical constraint behind this difference. I do know that the Haldex is mounted remotely on the back axle, but isn't the Torsen mounted onto the back of the gearbox? -- Dave N N.B. Mail to nospam is rejected. Reply-To does work. |
