Now that the driveway has been snowblowed, it's time for some winter hooning...Quattro style! Good thing I've got an A4 2.0T (manual) and an S8 5.2 to play around in!

A few weeks ago I tried helping someone in a Audi TT out of some small ruts in the snowy road. He had all of his available traction being wasted with just one wheel spinning out. He was convinced that all four wheels were spinning out and that he was hopelessly stuck and only someone with a truck could tow him out of his predicament, so he told me to go.

I left, giving him a hint that he needs to lightly apply the brakes while on the throttle to engage the rest of his wheels.

Dose the S8 have an engine cover? If not I request pic of the engine!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the TT use a Haldex AWD system, not Quattro? I have been under the impression that any Audi product built on the Golf chassis uses Haldex but says Quattro on the trunk lid anyway.

Perhaps? I'm not a fan of Audi's so I am of no use for your question.

Odd, the traction control should actually tap the brakes for you. Maybe the first gen TT didn't have traction control.

Could be, or maybe he was thinking traction control was only going to interfere and disabled it?
