I live in Ohio, and have never, ever been charged more for an oil
change because of quattro. I dunno what this guy is doing to get
charged more...maybe he is behaving like this...

I wouldn't expect to - my degree is in engineering. However, perhaps
you would like to give me the benefit of your great expertise in the
English language and point out where I could have made improvements in
what I wrote above.

However, perhaps you might wish to remove the plank from your eye before
helping me with the speck in mine, by correcting your contribution!

Hint: Unless you are from the e e cummins school, it is usual practice
to begin a sentence with a capital letter. Also, your 'sentence' would
be easier to read if there was some form of punctuation betweeen the
words 'you' and 'I'.

Here, in the UK, there were instances of differential failure in AWD Volvos,
IIRC. The failure was, officially at least, blamed on different tyre sizes,
due to not changing all 4 tyres at the same time, AFAIK.

Different set-up?

Anybody able to confirm? Or is my memory failing even more?

Having seen an AWD Volvo reverse on gravel, on full lock, with the
inside rear wheel continually spinning and throwing up a barrage of
stones, I have to believe that the technology is very different to the
current quattro system.

Neither of my quattro-equipped cars have behaved like that Volvo.

AFAIK, yes - the problem first turned-up on the FWD "smoke, smoke, and more
smoke from the front" hot estates and was a definite recommendation for the
T5 (a friend of mine had one)

Subject to failing memory, I think they stated a maximum difference of only
1.5mm - particularly unrealistic in Basingstoke (UK joke - to the casual
visitor, the town appears to consist of roundabouts connected by not a great
deal else). With four tyres only lasting three months, he elected to swap
the car..

AFAIK, Volvo now use Haldex, just like Audi.
