4WD vs AWD was: [urq] TT commercial - '1st AWD passenger car' claim

[Peter Berrevoets]

Ooops, I don't think so!

You might want to check if you have manual locking hubs on the front wheels.
You should not be driving in town with the 4WD engaged, you will eat tire
(you already know that) or trannies!

Better check the manual.
