Audi S6 sport diff vibration
Hi, first i want to thank you for this amazing forum. This is the place fulled with usefull information and threads wih many answers.
So, i have S6 2013 with sport differencial. Everything is ok with exception of strong vibration on U turns and turn with high angle at low speed. Car running very well, no misstakes, no leaks, no progression. I think that some vibration is normal but this is too much. According to my service history differencial oils were changed on 60 000km., i changed it to 120 000km.
Drove Allroad with sport differencial and no vibration but i think that feeling of vibration depents on suspension and wheel size. Bigger wheels, more vibration.
What is your experience with sport differencial?

FWIW one sign of sport diff failure is noise when accelerating through corners. I.e when sport diff is actually active. It will make a noise if they use the wrong fluid or it is failing. 
I think what you are referring to is what has already been mentioned..."quattro bind" usually most prevalent in U-turns and parking lots. Seems to be more noticeable on sportier models I think with larger/grippier tires.

Update!!!
Today changed oil in the mechanical part of the gearbox (transferbox) and now i drive different car! No vibration, absolutely amazing. I diidn’t change it since now because everywhere is written that this oil
is longlife and never changed.
If somebody didn’t change this oil, let’s do it immediately.
Part number is G 054 532 A2

Anyway, yes, changing the center diff oil helps, but in my experience it usually returns, but good that it made a noticeable difference.
