Awd

[spencem875]

Strange question, is there a easy way to check the AWD is working properly? I'm pushing 130k miles now and lately I seem to wheel spin more often than I remember doing in the past.

Turn the traction control off and launch it hard, you'll get slight wheelspin from the front wheels until it shunts power to the rear.

Stick it on axle stands or be a chav and find some wet grass and go play :)

If you do this you will need someone to video it.

Ffs just hang out the Windows chav style :)

...........The AWD system is either goosed or it will be soon.

What was the sequence to turn it off? I recall pressing 5 times or something.

Press it five times with one second interval in between each press,the display changes when you have it correct.
But you should only do this if you're very experienced as the handbook says...........

Don't think I've ever seen more than a barely detectable scrabble from the front of mine on a very wet road when booting it from standstill or on kick down.

ive got a 98 v70 AWD with 190k and mine seems to spin a little more than normal, but ive just put it down to tyres getting low and the road condions, still goes sideways when put on mud/grass and pins you in the seat when i launch hard! You'll have nothing to worry about.

Merely a demonstration of what not to do.........and how well R888's grip on long grass.

When do you get your Audi?

I haven't got one, which is why I'm not a ££££. :P Why the hell is a male bird setting off the swear filter?
