Sounds about right, the only thing I would add is that later coupe quattros
(in the UK anyway) after about summer 87 (not sure of the exact date, but on
'E' reg) went from non-tor$en 2114 engine to torsen 2226 engine with
tappets. I only know this because my old quattro was a cq with tor$en.

P.S. anyone got any good idea's how to see which rear wheel bearing is shot
on my 80 quattro ? 
The normal 2wd method of lifting 1 driven wheel of the ground in turn and
turing it with the engine to see which is noiser can't be used (it's got a
tor$en)
