okay so what models have Torsen center differentials? i looked over my
bentley manual covering my 87 5000 quattro and it says the following under
long distance towing.
"There are no restrictions on speed or distance when towing
manual-transmission cars behind other vehicles."
it also has this warning.
CAUTION - 5000 CS Quattro only
"Whenever possible, tow with front wheels off ground. The central and rear
differential must be "unlocked" during towing."
i didn't see any prohibitions for towing a quattro in neutral all four
down. i did this with a car that i have yet to drive hence the curiosity.
