Rear wheel/locking judder on a8 quattro
can anybody enlighten me as to wat is causing this? oil level for rear diff is fine, mounting is ok too!
It only happen when I do a full lock and take off, at speed it is ok, only happens when taking off or at slow speeds! My one is a 95 4.2 4 speed auto UK spec. SOmebody told me the clutches in the diff are locking up against each other?? make sense to anyone?? tyres seem ok aswell

Do you happen to have the ability to manually lock the rear differential?
In my 95 Audi A6 i had a button that allowed for manual lock up of the rear diff.. It created the same exact symptoms you mentioned. If you do then your switch might be stuck.

Re: The A8 has no torsen differential!
the rear torsen was replaced after the V8 in 1994 with the introduction of the A8 by an EDL which I have no idea where is or how it works??
can someone explain??
