Physical basics
Basics of moment transverse distribution

The classic, open differential always distributes drive torques equally, the left When cornering, the dynamic wheel load distribution means that the wheel on the inside
and right wheels always transmit the same forces (50:50), which means that the of the curve determines how much torque the wheels can transfer, as it is the first to start
transmission is almost free of yaw moments. spinning (the torque is lost). In this case, the inner wheel cannot transfer any torque,
and therefore neither can the side on the outside of the curve. The same applies if a
wheel comes onto ice, for example, this side cannot transfer any torque. Accordingly,
the opposite side cannot transfer any torque either.
However, a differential always has a certain amount of internal friction. This friction leads
to a small “locking torque” and this locking torque can always take effect. This
physical property is used in the self-locking center differentials in the quattro drive.
476_003
With a limited-slip differential, depending on the locking value, a certain torque is

shifted from the faster-rotating wheel to the slower-rotating wheel (inside of the
curve). During normal cornering, this creates steering effects that counteract the
steering direction. The vehicle tends to understeer.
When cornering quickly, the behavior changes.
The load on the other wheel is reduced and tends to spin. The limited-slip differential
transfers the torque to the outside wheel and the
Axle can continue to transfer torque.
476_004
With the superposition differential we have an additional path of action1). Using In contrast to a limited-slip differential, with a superposition differential not only is
a superposition gear and a clutch for each side, drive torque can be directed from the a torque transmitted via a clutch, but additional torque is added with a clutch by means
differential housing to the left or right flange shaft (inner or outer side of the curve). of a gear ratio.
This path of action can be used in both pulling and pushing operation. The clutch together with the gear ratio is called a superposition gear or superposition
unit because an additional torque (and speed) is “superimposed” on the existing
power flow by means of a gear ratio.
The sport differential belongs to the category of superposition differentials.
The superposition gear has a gear ratio of high speed (i<1). The additional drive
torque results from or acts as a result of the increase in speed.

dynamics and shifts the vehicle-specific limit range closer to the physically possible
limit. ESP intervention is required less often. If the sports differential is not activated, it acts like a conventional rear axle transmission.
Intervention in understeer
When understeering, the front of the car slides out of the curve. By deliberately shifting
the power flow to the outside of the curve, a yaw moment is generated, which steers
the vehicle into the curve. Understeering is thus counteracted right from the start.

superposition unit consists of the superposition gear and a multi-plate clutch.
With the help of the integrated multi-plate clutches, the superposition gears can
distribute the drive power variably between the wheels of the rear axle.
The multi-plate clutches are operated by the hydraulic control unit. An electric motor
drives a high-performance oil pump, which provides the necessary hydraulic pressure.
All functions are controlled and monitored by a separate control unit.

the case of a friction-locking multi-disk clutch . The ring gear 2
in turn engages the sun gear 2 (Z4), which is an integral part of
the flange shaft and ultimately transmits the torque to the gear.
The flange shaft is also positively connected and thus
continuously connected to the bevel gear of the differential.
With the help of the superposition gear, additional
torque can be applied, depending on the frictional connection
of the multi-plate clutch, combined with an increase in speed.
This increases the transmitted power.

Multi-disk clutch
The multi-disk clutches are integrated in the ring gear and are
operated electro-hydraulically. They transfer a desired clutch torque
from the ring gear of the first ring gear ratio to the second ring
gear ratio, i.e. from the ring gear to the flange shaft. The ratio
results in a corresponding superposition torque.
The superposition torque is calculated by the transmission control

unit and realized via a defined clutch pressure.
The multi-disk clutches are operated exclusively with slip.

This means that they are not completely force-locked
during operation. The superimposed torque is limited to a
maximum of 1200 Nm, see page 35.
Due to the design of the hydraulic control, only one multi-plate

clutch can be controlled at a time (left or right side), not both sides
at the same time.

diagnostic tester for checking the clutches and the control
system, see page 42 onwards.
Clutch control – friction coefficient, classification
The friction values of the two clutches must be communicated to

the control unit so that the clutch control can control the clutch
torque as precisely as possible.
Identification letter/construction data Flange cardan shaft
Only when the friction coefficient is known to the control unit can
a corresponding clutch torque be generated via a defined clutch
pressure.
For this reason, the friction values of the clutches are determined on the
manufacturer's test bench. These friction values are grouped (classified) and assigned
the corresponding classification numbers. This process is called classification.

The classification is engraved on the sports differential and is also shown on the
Barcode stickers.
The classification is given in hexadecimal numbers.

It must be entered into the control unit using the vehicle diagnostic
tester. By entering the classification, the control unit knows the
friction value of the respective clutch and can control it accordingly.
Please note the instructions and effects when entering the

classification on pages 40 and 41.

Not only is a torque shifted, but the speed is also increased at the same time via a

vehicle, which steers the vehicle into the curve.

Depending on the driving situation, the drive power can be sensitively redirected This results in a drive power of 73% on the outside of the curve and a drive power

Therefore, only 48% of the diverted power of the 50% reaches the flange shaft. Understeering is prevented and the drive power is available where the greatest

The double shaft seal consists of two simple shaft seals arranged next to each
other. There is a small annular gap between the two shaft seals, which is ventilated
to the outside (into the open air) via a hole (leakage oil hole).
If one of the two shaft seals becomes leaky, the oil from the affected oil system
escapes to the outside via the leak oil hole. This prevents the oils from the different
oil systems from mixing in the event of leaks.

Only one side (one clutch) can be controlled at a time. If the coupling valves are de-energized, the system is depressurized.
With the help of the shuttle valves, the clutch pressure on both sides can be
measured with one sensor.
For safety reasons, two sensors are installed.

Oil pressure sensors
When controlling the clutches, monitoring the clutch pressure is an

important and safety-relevant task.
For this reason, two pressure sensors measure the clutch pressure 476_052 476_053

The pressure sensors deliver a pressure-dependent voltage signal to
the all-wheel drive control unit J492.
To improve the electrical self-diagnosis, the two pressure sensors have
an opposing pressure/voltage characteristic curve.
This means that the G437 (brown) has a rising characteristic curve
(approx. 0.6 V – 4.4 V) and the G640 (black) has a falling characteristic curve

Oil temperature sensors
As the name suggests, a temperature sensor is integrated into

each of the two oil pressure sensors. The temperature of the ATF is an
important parameter for controlling the clutches and for calculating the
clutch temperature. The control unit monitors the ATF temperature
using the two temperature sensors and, if necessary, initiates protective
measures to protect the components and the ATF from excessively
high temperatures.

When the ATF temperature reaches approximately 150 °C or when
the calculated clutch temperature reaches a defined value, the system Connection diagram G437/G640

Identity of the sports differential
The rear axle drive 0BF/0BE (sports differential) must be paired with the control unit This identity is contained in the two oil pressure and oil temperature sensors G437/

only the trained control unit knows the operating history and thus the adaptation (identifier). Each sensor is therefore unique and has its own consecutive serial
values of the clutches. See the information on replacing the control unit on page 40. number.
The identification of the two sensors is taught to the control unit when the sport
differential is taught, and the sport differential thus receives its identity. The

each sports differential receives an identity.

1. Only one of the two sensors needs to be replaced: 22 – Replace rear axle drive (Rep. Gr. 39)

2. Both sensors must be replaced:
For the control unit, this scenario is equivalent to replacing the sports differential,
as it no longer recognizes any identity. In this case, the classification must be re-
learned.
This process leads to the irreversible deletion of the adaptation values of the
clutch adaptation. The control quality of the sports differential is thereby impaired.
The new sensors are then automatically taught. In addition, the ATF

Notice
! If both sensors need to be replaced (e.g. because they have been damaged in an accident), this should be done in two steps if possible, i.e. one after the other.
Then the adaptation values of the clutches and the control quality of the sports differential are maintained. In addition, the ATF does not need to be replaced.

The hydraulic pump only runs when needed, i.e. when a clutch is activated. The pressure
is controlled via the speed of the pump.
In order to achieve the extremely short reaction times of the sports differential, the
electro-hydraulic control must react at lightning speed. A radial piston pump with six
pistons, driven by a powerful DC motor, ensures the correspondingly rapid pressure build-
up.

The hydraulic system is designed in such a way that pressure builds up on the

coded according to their design, so the connectors cannot be plugged in incorrectly.
However, the valves can be installed incorrectly in the housing of the hydraulic control
unit. For this reason, it is advisable to replace the valves one at a time. After working on the hydraulics of the sports differential, appropriate tests and
processes must be carried out. Information on this can be found in the chapter
“Guided functions” from page 42.
After removing and installing the clutch valves, the ATF must be refilled. To do this,
use the function available in the vehicle diagnostic tester, see page 43.
To check whether the valves are installed correctly, a system test must be carried
out and the torque shift checked, see pages 42 and 44.

Pressure relief valves

The two pressure relief valves have two functions:
1. They are used to vent the hydraulic system, see

Page 29.
2. They limit the maximum pressure in the system to a

defined value. On the one hand, this protects the components from
high pressure. On the other hand, the maximum clutch transmission torque
is limited to approx. 1200 Nm.
This limitation serves to ensure driving safety so that excessive yaw moments
cannot occur on the vehicle, which would ultimately make the vehicle unstable.

Other notes and information

Traction function
Newer vehicles with sports differentials have a so-called “traction function”. The following vehicle models have a traction function:
• Audi A8 '10 (D4) • Audi from construction date KW32/2010
Additional drive torque is directed to the wheel with the higher traction capability. A7 Sportback • Audi A6 '11 from construction date KW41/2010
This means that if the left rear wheel spins, the drive torque of the right (stationary) (C7) • Audi A4 '08 (B8) from SOP
wheel is increased by controlling the right overlay unit. The traction function is only not provided
activated at a driving speed of around 15 km/h and therefore does not provide a
starting aid. The function improves driving dynamics when the road friction coefficients
vary greatly because the power is shifted to where it can be effective. An EDL
braking intervention, which results in power being lost, is not necessary in this situation.
Trailer operation
If the sports differential is in “dynamic” operating mode, it is automatically switched to Lift Audi drive select Logbook
“auto” operating mode for the time when towing a trailer.
The trailer operation is detected by the trailer detection control unit J345 when the
13-pin trailer connector is plugged in, or when the customer has manually selected
trailer mode in the MMI. A trailer coupling (A) appears in the menu - Audi drive

1. What type of differential is the Audi sports differential?
ÿ a) open differential b)
ÿ limited-slip differential
ÿ c) superposition differential
2. How does the Audi sports differential work?
ÿ a) The sport differential brakes the inside wheel when cornering to prevent oversteering. b) The sport
ÿ differential locks when cornering to ensure sporty driving behavior. c) The sport differential shifts drive power
ÿ to the outside wheel when cornering. This creates a yaw moment, which
steers the vehicle into the curve.
3. What should be taken into account when replacing the rear axle drive 0BE/0BF?
ÿ a) After the replacement, the axle drive must be assigned to the control unit for all-wheel drive. b) After the
ÿ replacement, an adaptation drive must be carried out in which the axle drive and the control unit for
“Adapt” all-wheel drive.
ÿ c) After replacement, the “Replace rear axle drive” function must be carried out using the vehicle diagnostic tester.
4. What is the purpose of the multi-plate clutches?
ÿ a) The multi-disk clutches brake the wheel that is spinning. This prevents the drive power from breaking off. b) The multi-disk clutches transfer a
ÿ defined drive power to the corresponding rear wheel. c) The multi-disk clutches interrupt the flow of power above a certain
ÿ brake pressure so that the ESP can regulate correctly.
5. Which statements about the oil balance are correct?
ÿ a) The angle drive and the two superposition gears have a common oil chamber. b) The angle drive and
ÿ the differential have their own oil chamber, which is filled with axle oil. c) The two superposition gears each
ÿ have their own oil chamber, which is filled with special ATF. d) The two oil chambers of the superposition units are combined
ÿ into one oil system.
6. Which statements about the oil supply of the superposition gears are correct?
ÿ a) The two oil chambers of the superposition gears are connected by an oil channel. b) A ball valve
ÿ in the oil channel prevents the ATF from overflowing to one side during high lateral acceleration. c) The two superposition gears
ÿ each have their own self-contained oil chamber.
7. What needs to be taken into account with regard to the ATF and axle oil in the sports differential?
ÿ a) The ATF is only changed on RS models, all other models have an ATF lifetime filling. b) If the ATF is filled after a
ÿ repair, the system must be bled. c) The system must be bled using the vehicle diagnostic tester with
ÿ the "Fill ATF (hydraulic)" function. d) The axle oil is only changed on RS models, all other models have an axle oil lifetime filling.
ÿ
8. Which statements apply to the oil pressure and oil temperature sensors G437/G640?
ÿ a) The identity of a rear axle drive is determined by the identifiers of the two oil pressure and oil temperature sensors.
The axle drive can thus be unmistakably assigned to the all-wheel drive control unit J492.
ÿ b) The two oil pressure and oil temperature sensors are located directly on the all-wheel drive control unit. c) The
ÿ two oil pressure and oil temperature sensors monitor the clutch pressure of the respective controlled clutch.
50
9. Which statements apply to the hydraulic pump?
ÿ a) The hydraulic pump is controlled as needed, e.g. when a clutch is activated. b) The hydraulic pump is driven by
ÿ a permanently excited DC motor (V415). c) The hydraulic pump feeds the oil pressure into a storage volume. d) The
ÿ clutch pressure is controlled via the speed of the hydraulic pump.
ÿ
10. What are the functions of the two clutch valves for all-wheel drive N445/N446?
ÿ a) They determine the level of clutch pressure. b) They

ÿ are used to reduce the clutch pressure. c) They act as safety
ÿ valves because they are open when there is no current, so no unintentional pressure can build up.
11. Which components are located on the hydraulic control unit?
ÿ a) The clutch valves for all-wheel drive. b) The

ÿ control unit for all-wheel drive. c) Both oil
ÿ pressure and oil temperature sensors.
12. When must or should the hydraulic system be bled?
ÿ a) If the ATF needs to be topped up after work on the sport differential (function “Fill ATF (hydraulics)”). b) The function “b) Bleed
ÿ hydraulics” should also be used to assess the function of the sport differential. c) At every inspection service or when the system message “Sport
ÿ differential system fault” is displayed in the instrument cluster.
