audi 5000 cd

B.A.P.F., "quattro" is more "four wheel drive" than the viscous coupling "All Wheel Drive" vehicles (flame suit on...). Compared to, say, a Chevy 4x4 pickemup, the quattro tranny (in the early Type 44's like yours, and mine - it's qGeneration I - see:

has a locking center differential whereas the Chev has a lockedtransfer case. Look up "4wd AWD quattro Torsen", sit back with aroll-up-the-rim Horton's coffee and have a good read.CD actually stands for "Corps Diplomatique", and is a "trim level" - inGermany, you could order an Audi 100 (non-turbo) or 200 (turbo) in basetrim, or S-trim, or CD trim, or CS trim. I guess Diplomats don't go for allthe bells and whistles? Since we here in North America don't custom orderour Audis much, they sent 5000CD's to Canada and 5000CS's to the US - forturbos - the non-turbos were 5000S. - I guess they figured that we here inCanada get all warm and fuzzy over "mouse fur" seats and door panels - butwe get to show off our special IR-remote controlled radios!By the way - an 87 Audi 5000 CD could be equipped with both quattro and FWD,manual or automatic tranny.Cheers!
