haledex awd sucks..honestly get a non haledex setup. The 80 quattro is torsen. the haldex setup is a slip system that only gets awd when some drive wheel slips. The ONLY quattro car that has haldex is the tt. the R32 also uses/d that haldex setup.
Volvo uses it too. I would drive an a6 quattro then a subbie then a volvo...you will definetly feel the difference in the volvo. it is fwd then kicks the rear in when the fronts slip, not a real awd setup.
At most subbie dealers they have a nifty video showing the awd diffeences goung up a sandy hill...this will be an eye opener. the only true awd is the subbie setup and the quattro on any audi except a TT
what you can do is buy the blue controller for the haldex cars and that will effectivly make a real 50/50 split from the 80/20 normal.
Also if you are looking at a used haldex car, MAKE SURE there is PROFF of the haldex unit being serviced every 30k miles..it needs a fluid change and it will die prematurely if not serviced regularly.
