    Does anybody know if the new style Haldex rear diff as found on the latest TT, A3, etc is the same ratio as the old mk1 Haldex units? I want to fit Haldex, but the newer the diff, the better.

    If the Ratio is the same then this would be the diff to use, as I understand it has better torque transmitting capability.

    Pic for reference:

    From info I found on Vortex a while back, the Mk5 Haldex rear diff has a more advanced controller built into the diff. This controller has many advantages if you know how to access and program it. The negative side to these rear diffs is that the ring gear is now welded to the center section, preventing installation of a LSD unit.

    I can live without an LSD at the rear, I can’t afford one anyway!
