Gibbo, go and investigate a TTRS for a weekend or something. They sound truly fantastic and they're so easily moddable. However, warranties seem to be an issue...
Whilst is all good fun laughing at Haldex and the fact it's a Golf, but who here has actually driven one?

Whats to drive one for, he will do his ****** in depreciation for a car thats not even on the same page as the others on his list.

Too young for me mate, I prefer yummy mummys

(That doesn't mean grannys before anyone starts)

You should have met a friend of mine who owned one! Late 30s......was quite something!

Sold it because she didn't feel she was doing it justice and was moving abroad. "I've only had it up to 180 three times this year".

-sighs-

Marry me

I hope the speedo was in km/h,

women and speeding in fast cars are words that should never go together

I think Sabine Schmitz might have something to say about that, amongst others

There's different generations of Haldex.

They're on their fourth now, and the fifth is due in 2012.

I've found sources that state the cars i mentioned had the 4th Gen Haldex. Not sure which other cars in the VW / Audi group have 4th Gen Haldex. eg. the Latest S3 doesn't apparently, so not being sure didnt state any others.

Which gen do range rover products use?....

DM · 23 Dec 2010 at 17:26

I'l take your AM dials and raise you a start button!

Will Gill · 23 Dec 2010 at 17:28

I've mentioned Haldex quite a bit in this thread, but from what i've read the 4th Gen Haldex system isnt actually that bad.

It can send from 0 up to 100 % of the drive to the rear if required, and it also has a neat little trick that it's more rear drive biased when in first, than in the other gears in order to aid traction on lift off. Its distributed by a hydraulic mutli disc clutch.

So allthough not quite up there with the systems in the latest STI / Evo its moved on from the old days.
