Audi Q7 Centre Diff

rypt · 1 Jan 2010 at 17:14

My internet skills are failing miserably at the moment; I'm trying to find an ACTUAL picture of the torsen centre diff/transfer case rather than just the schematic press drawing (shown below).

I believe it is similar to the Cayenne unit as well, can anyone find me an actual picture?

(EDIT: And the reason I'm interested is because it looks like a different setup to how the other Audi Quattros are)

isn't the cayenne, toureg, and q7 basically the same car, bar bodyshell, etc. I.e. joint platform

If so would expect them to be very similar if not the same.

Touareg uses a Haldex rather than a Torsen centre unit afaik, making it different from the other two (and I CAN find pictures of this, though am not interested in it).

EDIT: Sorry the Touareg (other than the hybrid) uses a planetary transfer case rather than a Torsen and not a Haldex (god why must VW have 3 or 4 different AWD systems)

Never mind, find what I need from Audi manuals as for use by dealers/garages
