Quattro and 4motion (previously known as syncro) are two very different systems - one is longitudinal, the other transverse. Merging is not suitable. Preceding unsigned comment added by Dcrooke ( talk · contribs) 11:15, 25 January 2009
Volkswagen AG's marketing has confused this issue by applying the label "quattro" to the 4wd models of Audi TT, even though they use a 4motion drive train. Preceding unsigned comment added by Dcrooke ( talk · contribs) 11:15, 25 January 2009
They shouldn't be merged they aren't the same system. Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.237.185.229 ( talk · contribs) 15:15, 31 August 2010
I was redirected from "syncro" to the "4-motion" page.
However there is a big difference between the syncro and the 4-motion, the latter being a haldex unit. The syncro simply consists of a rear differential with a viscous coupling to the longitudal axle. If the speed difference between the front and rear wheels becomes larger (aka the front wheel slip), more power is distributed to the rear.
The haldex unit is a much more complex unit, which includes a mechanical hydraulic pump and a number of electronically controlled valves Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.171.252.100 ( talk · contribs) 08:15, 16 February 2009
