Well, your dealer doesnt know all that much.  The switch that was on the 
console was for the rear diff when quattro II was created.  Quattro III 
was only on the V8 as far as i know.  And Quattro IV is simply when they 
added in the EDL front and rear...no big deal...

No torsen car has a center diff lock switch...and torsen that has a diff 
lock switch is simply for the rear....

later...
