How Audi Quattro AWD Works

Here's a look inside Audi's Quattro AWD system and how it works!
The AWD system in Audi's differs from many other vehicles in that it dynamically reacts to changes in axle speed between front to rear. This is all done mechanically in the center differential located in the transfer case at the back of the transmission.
In this video, the transmission from a 2012 Audi Q5 is torn down to see how this system works. It consists of a limited slip center planetary differential. The key is it uses a clutch material between the ring gear and planet carrier which engages through the axial forces in the gears as they speed up. This clutch is only allowed to slip when wheel speed differences are relatively low, such as turning a corner; other than that, the Quattro system provides a 50/50 torque distribution from front to rear.
More advanced systems use a torsen type differential or a clutched based system to disengage an axle when not in use. FWD models use a haldex unit to send power to the rear wheels when required.
In contrast, here's how Subaru's AWD system works:

The center differential is in fact a Torsen C type center differential, made by JTEKT. It provides a 40:60 front-to-rear torque split on dry pavement, not 50:50. This is because the sun gear and ring gear have different diameters. Since the ring gear has a greater diameter than the sun gear, it will apply greater leverage and therefore, torque to the axle it powers. You can actually count the number of teeth on the sun gear and ring gear to get the exact ratio. I counted the number of teeth on the sun gear and ring gear. The sun gear and ring gear each have 24 and 36 teeth respectively. 24:36 is exactly a 40:60 ratio. When one axle loses traction, this center differential is capable of transferring up to 70% of the available power to the front axle or up to 85% of available power to the rear axle. It is this uneven basic distribution with instantaneous torque-biasing between the front and rear axles that Audi refers to as the "asymmetric-dynamic torque split". It is a great system; so great in fact that this is the all-wheel drive system used on the current Lamborghini urus.

@beckmelfi9527 Ай бұрын

Thank you for this clarification. I was confused when he said 50:50 as my understanding was that planetary differentials were inherently asymmetrical.

@rosslarkin6742 Ай бұрын

Correct. The previous system used a Torsen B center differential which had 2 sun gears of equal diameter powering the front and rear axles which is why that system provided a 50:50 torque split with up to 78% of the power going to the axle with better traction (3.5:1 torque bias ratio). Audi phased that system out in favor of this Torsen C differential in 2005 because quattro became known for excessive under steer at the vehicles handling limit. Switching from 50:50 to a rear-biased 40:60 endowed quattro vehicles with much more neutral handling. There is extensive literature on the internet about these systems released by Audi. I can include some links if you are interested.

This is actually is a Torsen center differential. Earlier Quattro systems used Torsen A and B center differentials which had a 50:50 front-to-rear torque split. In 2005, Audi switched to this Torsen C center differential because it has a rear-biased 40:60 torque split, which reduces understeer.

Thanks for this. Very timely as I'm in the middle of a valve body swap on the 8HP model from the same year Q5. Screwed the first one up pulling it to do the RMS. Horror Freight trans jack platform shifted and a decent chunk of the weight was being supported by the front spindle of the TC on the crank. 🤦‍♂️ I bolted it back on, refilled the fluid and it started clicking as soon as i started it. Could feel occasional slippage in park and at highway speeds. Confirmed with my Ross Tech. Strangely it never threw any codes. Like you said, you can't do a full swap because the trans serial is coded into the ECU. So I'm swapping the valve body into a 167k junkyard trans to get around it. Thanks again for the video! Very thorough!

7:30. This IS a Torsen style diff, it's a Torsen C with asymmetrical torque split which made its debut on Alfa Romeo 156 XWagon. Number of gear teeth creates the uneven torque split, I bet the friction side is there only to negate the weak point of Torsen, when a wheel has no grip, it transfers no torque to the other wheel. In another note, maybe you can get your hand on the newer Quattro differential, the Crown Gear differential made by ASSAG.

@4x4.tests.on.rollers Ай бұрын

It's not correct that if a wheel has no grip, torsen transfers no torque to other wheel. It does and it transfers TBR x more than to a slipping wheel. It just is not enough to spin it effectively.

That is a Torsen center diff. The gears on the outside are the worm gears that prevent and speed differential front to rear when the engine is driving the vehicle. That is a Torsen type “C” differential with a 60:40 torque bias. All RWD based Audi Quattro systems prior to around 2017 have a Torsen differential. They didn’t switch to a computer controlled crown gear system until the B9 A4.

FYI: It's a "flex-circuit". Often more expensive than a hard circuit board. It allows greater design flexibility, mostly as it can route around things. Audi appears to make a fine transmission with an emphasis on simplicity which makes for reliability. I think we would agree we cannot say that about their nightmarishly complex engines. Also I saw a video on Ford's 1100 cubic inch GGA engine for the Sherman tank. I was most impressed that it used worm driven shafts to drive the overhead cams, never saw this approach before. I liked it. Worm gears on both ends from crank to cam shaft, which also enable the appropriate 2:1 speed reduction.

Thank you for destroying a multi $1000 working transmission for us! It would be cool if you applied compressed air to the clutch pistons to show the operation

And that is why Transmission Fluid is never a lifetime fluid. Audi doesn't care at this point as their focus is now electric vehicles.

No it isn't. But it's mainly what they've been using up until recently

@@4x4.tests.on.rollers exactly in my poor man's opinion. When did Piech manage to climb up on steepest snow hill on summer tires. I do have a a4 2006 3.0 tdi quattro with torsen and it is even faster than s4 with 4.2 n a from years of my car. Could you please tell me about 2010 rs5 central differential, I know nothing but I really want to, thnx

@4x4.tests.on.rollers Ай бұрын

@@Peter-o Unfortunately I don't know the story about Piech climbing. When it comes to torsen - it isn't any special or magical diff, it's one of many LSDs. And when it comes to RS5 - it was an example, there were more models between 2010 and 2013 with "crown gear center differential", another type of LSD. There are many descriptions and animations about it, incl. Audi website.

😂 My colleague bought a Tesla Y and did some road trips. It was filled with stress and range anxiety. Because previously he could just drive to the destination and enjoy the trip. Now he has to plan a significant amount of time for charging and he concluded that any distance longer than 1 charge is just not practical. EV ownership is littered with problems. The vehicle don’t last as long and they are difficult to use.
