Volkswagen Golf 1986: Instead of a center differential, a viscous coupling is installed with a freewheel mechanism to disengage the driven axle during braking. Under normal driving conditions, 95% of the torque is transferred to the front axle. If slippage occurs, the coupling locks and up to nearly 100% of the torque is automatically transferred to the rear axle. If one front and one rear wheel lose traction, the car will not move. Volkswagen Golf 1997: Haldex Generation I automatic four-wheel drive. Under normal driving conditions the torque distribution is 90% to the front axle and 10% to the rear axle. When wheel spin is detected, the multi-disc clutch locks and torque is evenly distributed between the axles (50%/50%). | |||
