[quote][i]Originally posted by Dave[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Steve[/i] dunno, i think its basically fwd with a small amount of power getting directed to the rear wheels thats what iv ever heard anyway [/quote] In most instances it sends the bulk of the drive to the front wheels. When the system notices the front wheels losing grip (can be as little as 1/7th of a turn) it then transfers more drive to the rears although I think (and I may be wrong) the maximum is a 50/50 split. In real terms you have to be a complete pleb to lose traction in a Haldex equipped car. Even with the ESP off you can exit corners in the wet in low gears and on boost without losing drive, this is where the systems really excel. The stigma attached to the Haldex derived Quattro's seams to be that Audi fans didn't like it as it didn't use the Torsen diff that other Quattros (usually the longitudinal mounted engines) use. Then the internet got hold of it and that was that. It's not just VW/Audi that use Haldex systems, I know Volvo and Saab do quite extensively and I think Ford use it on the Kuga. [/quote]
