Very true. I didn't understand that when I was younger, and almost learned the hard way. I was fortunate not to break any equipment or people, and now I have a lot more "imagination" about what the worst possible outcome is of a given situation.

AKDJV what model was that you were driving?
Did it had the switch or knob on the front of the shifter under the radio?

And yes, every quattro is using full-time 4-WD, all you could do is turn the differential-locks on or off in older models.

I had an 86... and it was front wheel drive unless you pushed the magic "quattro" button. It was only worth anything in deeper snow (over 6"), but not really that helpfull anytime else.

And I don't think they went to the full-time AWD for all quattros until 96 or so.

DeJavu so you did find the differential-lock button from your Audi ? wtg !

Audi was using the "Torsen" (Torque sensing) differential-lock in the middle which automatically transfers more torque/power to the axle which is turning slower, ie. if your front wheels begun to slip because of the ice it automatically transfers power to the rear axle. With that "magic knob" you could turn on the locks but you couldn't make it a 2wd car.

That video that I posted ended up on about 10 other "big" sites... So we used about 43gb of bandwidth in one day. Last month we only used 580mb! So thank god/ipaska that the site is back up. Oh yeah, If anyone would like to help this site out we take cash!

btw AkDejavu here are couple 4WD cars where you can actually turn off AWD and use only 2-WD to move on:

Friend's Volvo C303, mostly used for "Jamborees" in the wilderness

And this one is Volvo TP-21

Well.. you got me on that Staga. I was going on what I was told when I bought the car and when the differential switch broke. The service man actually said it would only opperate as a two weel drive car without the lock engaged.

Thanks for putting me in my place.

Well actually without locks turned on it would be 2WD car but not in a way it's usually understood.
Without turning locks on one of your front wheel and one wheel from rear-axle would be pushing your car thought IIRC Audi was using automatic Visco-Locks in the rear differential, not sure about this thought.

edit: Good reading about cars and their technics.
