Get under your car and check the rear axle for a differential and shafts that drive the rear wheels. Normally quattro vehicles have the quattro badge on the dash right above the glove compartment. Also, a quattro badge on the front grill.
Good luck!

Turn off the traction control. Rev to 5000+ RPM, drop the clutch and you will instantly know if you have a FWD or AWD Audi.

Seriously, I'm just kidding.... just see if you have a Quattro badge on the back or front of your car. If you don't have a Quattro badge on the car, you have a FWD Audi.
