Torsen Differential
 

As Audi's video shows, Torsen differential is used between the rear and front axle for A4 Quattro.

Anyone knows what kind of differential is used between left/right wheels? Torsen again or just a normal open differential?

Torsen for centre diff with longitudinal engines only; front & rear differentials are electronic; A3 & TT use a Haldex centre differential

The EDL should work on the brakes to deal with wheel spin. However, there must be some sort of differential gear between the left/rigt rear wheels under normal steer/turn. I guess it is a open differential, just want to see if someone can confirm that.

Yes apart from the braking functions it is an open differential.

thanks for refering the site. It list out all the rear/front/central differential types used in various quattro generations.
