mondo odnom it will be gen 2 Haleex since it’s a PFL 8p, it would still engage the Haldex clutches with the front wheels turning and the rears not. That would be interpreted as massive wheel slip. So still needs the fuse pulling or the Haldex controller cable disconnected to run in FWD only.
EVOGUE Official quite a few videos of Haldex equipped cars running FWD on a dyno. Pretty sure they will have used the drivetrain loss percentage factor for 2WD instead of AWD. So would think they can claim the figures given.
I really like the BKD engines, I’ve not been in another 2.0 TDI that pulls as well as standard, can’t imagine how this feels.
When it comes to tuning vag dervs Darkside are in a league of their own.
Another nice vid. So glad you put the acceleration pulls of speedo in the vid. Had my fingers crossed that you would. Needed in all your vids. Nice.
Now this is a serious piece of kit
Love this that shape a3 on those alloys look nice
PD engines. Can't go wrong. Even the BXE variants are pretty solid if you don't over boost em.
Got a BXE to 140, BKD at 160 maybe, and yh both nippy, but BXE is so much more responsive, BKD in comparison, feel dead until 2 and then just dump
