Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

What type of drivetrain does the 2006-2014 Audi TT use?

The 2006-2014 Audi TT is available with two drivetrain configurations: front-wheel drive (FWD) for the base models and quattro all-wheel drive (AWD) for higher trims. The quattro system uses a Haldex clutch to distribute torque between the front and rear axles.

What is the torque split in the Audi TT quattro system?

The Audi TT quattro system typically operates with a default torque split of 90% to the front wheels and 10% to the rear wheels under normal conditions. However, the system can dynamically adjust the torque distribution up to 50% to the rear wheels when needed for improved traction and performance.

What type of transmission is used in the 2006-2014 Audi TT?

The 2006-2014 Audi TT is equipped with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission, depending on the model and trim. The dual-clutch transmission provides quick and smooth gear changes.

What is the recommended service interval for the Haldex system in the Audi TT?

Audi recommends servicing the Haldex system every 30,000 miles or 3 years, whichever comes first. This includes changing the Haldex fluid and cleaning the filter to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the all-wheel drive system.

What is the maximum torque capacity of the Audi TT drivetrain?

The maximum torque capacity of the Audi TT drivetrain varies by engine. For example, the 2.0 TFSI engine produces up to 258 lb-ft of torque, while the TTS and TT RS models produce 258 lb-ft and 343 lb-ft, respectively. The drivetrain is designed to handle these torque levels efficiently.
