Mechanism of blocking of differential

If the previous Audi 80 model was still supplied with mechanical blocking of a back axis, in A4 blocking is carried out by EDS system. Its advantage consists that blocking affects also forward wheels, but there is a shortcoming which is that the effect of blocking is reached only due to braking of turned wheel that under certain conditions operation is less effective, than at mechanical blocking.

The EDS system is closely connected with system of anti-blocking therefore read technical information on EDS in the section ABS and EDS.
