Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

What type of drivetrain does the 2008-2014 Audi TTS use?

The 2008-2014 Audi TTS is equipped with a quattro all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. This system uses a Haldex-type electronically controlled multi-plate clutch to distribute torque between the front and rear axles, with a default torque split of 50:50 under normal driving conditions.

What is the torque capacity of the Haldex clutch in the Audi TTS?

The Haldex clutch in the Audi TTS can handle up to 1,800 Nm (1,327 lb-ft) of torque, ensuring optimal power distribution between the front and rear axles under various driving conditions.

What is the recommended service interval for the Haldex system?

Audi recommends servicing the Haldex system every 30,000 miles or 3 years, whichever comes first. This includes replacing the Haldex fluid and cleaning the filter to ensure proper operation and longevity of the system.

What type of transmission is paired with the drivetrain in the Audi TTS?

The Audi TTS is available with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission. Both transmissions are designed to work seamlessly with the quattro AWD system.

What is the maximum torque output of the 2.0 TFSI engine in the Audi TTS?

The 2.0 TFSI engine in the Audi TTS produces a maximum torque of 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) at 2,500-5,000 rpm, which is efficiently distributed through the quattro AWD system.

Can the Haldex system be upgraded for better performance?

Yes, aftermarket upgrades such as performance Haldex controllers and upgraded clutch packs are available. These can improve torque distribution and response times, but may void the vehicle's warranty and should be installed by a professional.
