Just out of interest, who's broken their quattro transmission, and what failed?
I'll start off with mine which broke last year. It was in a 3B running ~280bhp and ~420Nm on a good day. My ARV gearbox always had a noisy input shaft as most old'uns do, but in the end it seems that the front diff pinion bearing failed. Mileage was ~180k miles.
I opened up the 'box and found this inside:
I wonder if anyone has had the infamous 'weak 1st gear' fail. Tales of 2nd gear synchros seem to be most common.
