Thanks AdamD

i will have to see if i want to risk it maybe a dsg upgrade will help with the extra torque

A DSG upgrade is usually just a tune, unless you actually upgrade the clutches, which is quite expensive and really only necessary if you're chasing big power (read: stage 3 or 4 builds).

I don't think you'll have any problems at all with a 450Nm tune.

My inlaws in Tasmania have just bought a Red Golf Alltrack
She told my daughter that its a 4 wheel drive ,i thought it was the same as my Tiguan 4motion
i searched the broucher ,no mention of it being a 4 wheel drive ?

Yup it sure does

Just under where it says SHOPPER/CAMPER/SURFER TYPE

mentions 4 motion awd

Tell them gratz on the car btw in red 2 like mine tho i went diesel so still 4 months to wait

So its not a constant 4 wheel drive ?
Only comes into play when the front wheels spin looses traction ?
Same as the Tiguan i have 130 TDI 7 speed DSG ,Then the 4 Motion cuts in engaging the rear wheels ?

Yup its the Vw Haldex AWD system 95%+ power to front wheels till slippage then redirects power to rears newest mark 5 Haldex system (as fitted on the new alltrack) is vry good and doing it this way saves fuel as its frontwheel drive most of the time

[LibraR]

If it's anything like the system fitted to the Mk7 Golf R (which I assume it will be), it is so intuitive in the programming that the Haldex is already sending power to the rears based on lots of things like throttle position, steering wheel angle sensor and the like to premept when power will be needed at the rear before the front wheels lose grip. So it "knows" when you are ripping into a corner, for example, and starts sending drive to the rears. Pretty much foolproof, and not once in the R have I felt that it is a FWD with a little bit tacked onto the rear wheels.

It is quite simply brilliant, and a quantum improvement even over that put in the Mk6 variants. If the Alltrack has that, it will be perfect!

Big thanks to moderator AdamD

Got the courage to up and book in a tune for my new alltrack when it arrives

Also got a set of 19 inch 40th edition rims and a big brake setup to go with it
So will be picking car up from dealers and dropping it off to be modified lol

Congrats - that's a great set of mods you've got planned there!
