Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

What type of drivetrain does the 2015-Present Audi TTS use?

The 2015-Present Audi TTS features a quattro all-wheel-drive (AWD) system with a Haldex clutch. This system provides dynamic torque distribution between the front and rear axles, enhancing traction and stability, especially in adverse driving conditions.

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

The quattro system in the Audi TTS can distribute torque between the front and rear axles in a ratio of up to 50:50 under normal conditions. However, it can send up to 100% of the torque to the rear axle during aggressive driving or when slippage is detected.

What type of transmission is used in the Audi TTS?

The Audi TTS is equipped with a 6-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission. This transmission provides quick and smooth gear shifts, contributing to the vehicle's sporty performance.

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

The drivetrain in the Audi TTS is designed to handle a maximum torque output of 400 Nm (295 lb-ft), which is the peak torque produced by the 2.0-liter TFSI engine.

How often should the Haldex clutch fluid be serviced?

Audi recommends servicing the Haldex clutch fluid every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or every 3 years, whichever comes first. This ensures optimal performance and longevity of the all-wheel-drive system.

Can the Audi TTS drivetrain handle off-road conditions?

While the quattro system provides excellent traction, the Audi TTS is not designed for off-road use. Its low ground clearance and sport-tuned suspension are optimized for on-road performance and handling.
