It´s funny how the people are afraid of Audi´s AWD-system. In my
opinion quattro´s drivetrain is the most robust and nicest ( specially
after ´87 torsens ) part of the car with it´s bulletproof ( older ) engines
and not corroding bodies after certain modelyrs.

The problems seem to be those electrical gremlins and non functional
"bells and whistles"

On another way I uderstand that WV-owner is a little suspicious, 
because drivetrain is very weak point at those AWD-transporters.
Put a little power on a WV Syncro´s ( LT-models here ) diesel and 
the tranny or the joints are gone...

Regards
