Physical basics
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
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.

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

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.

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.

The sports differential consists of a conventional axle gear and two newly developed,
automated superposition units, which are arranged on the left and right. One
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 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.
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

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.

A double shaft seal and a special sealing ring (rectangular ring) on both sides ensure Due to different requirements, the oils from two neighboring oil systems are often

drive. reason, double shaft seals with oil leak holes are used at these separation points.
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.

When cornering, there is a radial relative movement between sun gear 1 and the
flange shaft (sun gear 2).
The rectangular ring is a specially shaped sealing ring that withstands this radial
sealing task and reliably seals both oil systems against each other without a leakage

The sports differentials 0BF and 0BE are largely identical in their basic design.
However, the changes in the axle drive require significant adjustments to the
housing parts.
As a result, the filling, inspection and drain plugs as well as the leakage oil holes
on the 0BE gearbox are partly in different places than on the 0BF gearbox.

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-

This process leads to the irreversible deletion of the adaptation values of the

The new sensors are then automatically taught. In addition, the ATF

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

The clutch valves are used for quick venting and as safety valves. In order for
clutch pressure to build up, the respective valve must be energized. Since they are
open when de-energized, pressure cannot build up accidentally.
The pressure is monitored by the two oil pressure and oil temperature sensors
G437/G640. If an inadmissible pressure is detected, the valves are de-energized

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.

This limitation serves to ensure driving safety so that excessive yaw moments
cannot occur on the vehicle, which would ultimately make the vehicle unstable.

Essential information for calculating the clutch pressure are the following parameters: The control unit calculates a clutch temperature from the control data and the ATF temperature.
If this exceeds a defined value or if the ATF temperature exceeds a temperature of 150 °C, the

on the vehicle model, the J492 communicates with different bus systems, see pages

Newer vehicles with sports differentials have a so-called “traction function”. The following vehicle models have a traction function:
Additional drive torque is directed to the wheel with the higher traction capability. A7 Sportback • Audi A6 '11 from construction date KW41/2010

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
