    Unhappy How do I tell if my Audi A4 is quattro or not?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have an 2002 Audi A4 3.0 V6 but every time I search up my car on google, it only gives me the V6 quattro build, and my A4 doesn't have the quattro badges.

    No stinking badges!

    See if you have a drive shaft going to a rear differential and rear cv shafts!

    If not...no quattro for you!

    OTAY...........Find a dirt / gravel parking lot, from a standstill.....step on the accelerator, if the front wheels are only kicking up gravel, you'll have your answer.....
    If it's only the rear wheels than you have RWD and may have issues with the front drive transfer case...

    In all seriousness, take a peek underneath you should see a drive shaft and transfer case in between the rear axles.
    If not then you have FWD, but you should know that just from driving as FWD has the unpleasant effect of torque steer....

    If feeling inadequate....See A-Four Lo....He may still have the rear drive parts necessary for Quattro since he removed one of the best features of Audi's....
    This may be perilous so reading his build thread is first advisable.....Then sleeping on the revelation.....

    If it doesn't have the Quattro badge on the dash trim then you don't have an Audi.

    Keep us posted with logs. They can be tricky to read if you haven't looked at them before.
