Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

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

The 2014-Present Audi TT is available with either front-wheel drive (FWD) or quattro all-wheel drive (AWD) systems, depending on the model and trim. The quattro system uses a Haldex clutch to distribute torque between the front and rear axles for improved traction and handling.

What is the torque capacity of the Audi TT's drivetrain?

The torque capacity of the Audi TT's drivetrain varies by engine and transmission. For example, the 2.0 TFSI engine paired with the S tronic dual-clutch transmission can handle up to 280 lb-ft (380 Nm) of torque, while the quattro AWD system is designed to manage higher torque loads for enhanced performance.

How often should the Haldex clutch system be serviced?

Audi recommends servicing the Haldex clutch system every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or as specified in the owner's manual. This includes replacing the Haldex fluid and cleaning the filter to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the AWD system.

What is the gear ratio of the Audi TT's S tronic transmission?

The S tronic dual-clutch transmission in the Audi TT features a 7-speed configuration with gear ratios optimized for performance and efficiency. The exact ratios vary by model, but the final drive ratio for the quattro AWD models is typically around 4.25:1.

Can the Audi TT's drivetrain handle off-road conditions?

While the Audi TT's quattro AWD system provides excellent traction on wet or slippery surfaces, it is not designed for off-road use. The vehicle's low ground clearance and sport-tuned suspension are optimized for on-road performance, not rugged terrain.
