    The facelifted C4 is definitely getting a new AWD system. Which one? Time will tell.

    Another move to reduce costs at the "expense" of the client ?

    Re: Carrera 4 to switch to Haldex AWD?

    Can someone enlighten me about the advantages (or disadvantages) of the Haldex system vis-a-vis the current set-up (I understand that the Turbo has a different, electronic? system than the basic C4).

    thank you.

    Asked my dealer about this today, and he told me no Haldex but a system similar to Turbo`s, he also confirmed touchscreen for navi, bluetooth and some other gadgets....

    The TT PTM is a mess... Hopefully they fix it before putting it in the N/A cars...

    Haldex XWD can send 100% of torque to front or rear.

    Maybe not full 100%, but more or less. One wheel can get 85% torque etc. Some nice 'splainin graphics here

    That would entail some significant changes to the transaxle to implement for the 911.

    I strongly suspect they mean that a Haldex style clutch will replace the existing viscous coupling.

    Which means maximum 50% torque to the front wheels, but they have better control over the degree of lock-up and when it occurs.

    Would be nice though
