Sport differential
The sport differential 0D3 is a further development and a
new generation of the sport differential 0BF (2nd genera-
tion). In this second generation two control modules are
responsible for activating the sport differential.
Drivetrain Control Module J775 sends a signal for the
calculated redistribution of torque between the rear wheels
to Differential Lock Control Module J187 via the FlexRay
bus. The differential lock control module activates the sport
differential actuators and initiates the redistribution of
torque.
The sport differential set-up can be influenced using the
Audi drive select modes. Refer to
The ATF and the axle oil of the sport differential are not
subject to routine maintenance.
For more information about the second generation "quattro
with sport differential", refer to eSelf-Study Program

New: For the first time, the driver can now see a graphic
display of the distribution of the drive torque to the individ-
ual wheels in the MMI. The menu items "Vehicle" > "Show
vehicle" > "quattro" must be selected in the MMI menu. The
arrows shown on the wheels show the distribution of drive
torque.
