Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about torque specifications
Q1 What type of drivetrain does the 1995-2000 Audi A4 use?
What type of drivetrain does the 1995-2000 Audi A4 use?
The 1995-2000 Audi A4 is equipped with a front-wheel-drive (FWD) system as standard, with an optional quattro all-wheel-drive (AWD) system available on higher trims. The quattro system uses a Torsen T-1 center differential for torque distribution.
Q2 What is the torque split in the quattro AWD system?
What is the torque split in the quattro AWD system?
The quattro AWD system in the 1995-2000 Audi A4 uses a Torsen T-1 differential, which provides a default torque split of 50:50 between the front and rear axles. The system can dynamically adjust torque distribution based on traction conditions, with up to 70% of torque sent to the front or rear axles as needed.
Q3 What type of transmission is used in the 1995-2000 Audi A4?
What type of transmission is used in the 1995-2000 Audi A4?
The 1995-2000 Audi A4 was available with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission (01V). The manual transmission is a 012-series unit, while the automatic transmission is an electronically controlled unit with adaptive shift logic.
Q4 What is the recommended service interval for the drivetrain components?
What is the recommended service interval for the drivetrain components?
Audi recommends inspecting the drivetrain components, including the transmission, differential, and driveshafts, every 30,000 miles or 2 years, whichever comes first. The transmission fluid should be replaced every 40,000 miles for automatic transmissions and every 60,000 miles for manual transmissions.
Q5 What type of differential fluid should be used in the quattro system?
What type of differential fluid should be used in the quattro system?
The quattro AWD system requires synthetic gear oil with a viscosity of SAE 75W-90, meeting Audi specification G 052 145 S2. The front and rear differentials each require approximately 1.1 liters of fluid, while the center differential requires 0.9 liters.
Q6 How do I identify if my Audi A4 has the quattro AWD system?
How do I identify if my Audi A4 has the quattro AWD system?
You can identify a quattro-equipped Audi A4 by checking for the 'quattro' badge on the rear of the vehicle or by locating the Torsen differential under the car. Additionally, the VIN can be decoded to confirm the drivetrain configuration.
