Why no RWD bias for haldex?
I just drove a friend's Jag 3.0 X-type Sport and was very suprised with the noticable bit of mid-corner adjustability that was possible with this awd car. Apparently the car has a 40-60 rear torque split. Why doesen't Audi impliment a rwd bias on the TT with torque going to the front as the rears slip instead of the opposite way which it is now? Thanks

Yes and No. Haldex can be reprogrammed, but cannot send more than 50% to the rears.
It's a clutch that simply locks the rears to the front axle. So, with haldex fully engaged, you have a theoretical 50/50 torque split. You can't go any further.

The Montero system was developed for a longitudinal powertrain, the X-Type's (Mondeo's) for a transverse engine and transaxle.</font>
