misinformation rides again!!!!

[mpeters6@rochester.rr.com (Marc Peterson)]

All tranverse engine mounted AWD VAG cars used the Haldex system, MKIV's,
S3, TT, etc.  Promise.
>From haldex.com:
"In 1998, the [traction systems] Division started serial deliveries to its
first customer, the VW-Group. So far the system has been introduced on VW
Golf 4 Motion and VW Bora 4 Motion, Audi TT Quattro and Audi A3 Quattro as
well as on Skoda and Seat."


All longitudinal engine mounted AWD VAG cars use the quattro system.
Promise.
>From vwvortex.com:
"The 4Motion system in the Passat (which is the same torsen system found in
the Audi A4, A6 and A8 Quattro) is seamless and only barely makes itself
known in low speed parking maneuvers as a very slight vibration through the
steering wheel (same thing happens in the Audi A4 and A6 with Quattro as
well)."

I'm not making this stuff up guys...
