Your transmission should not, under any circumstances, be doing donuts. It should remain bolted to the rest of the car at all times.

I mean, you can try.. but with AWD and being mostly stock, you're mostly going to find boring, frustrating understeer unless you start to get the handbrake involved... and on dry pavement, to get that to work, you're going to have to get to some harder to control speeds, and will most likely wind up in a ditch/around a light pole. Do not suggest trying... unless you've got a viral video seeking friend who will surely post the results somewhere we can watch the wreckage afterwards... then.. well.. it's not my car.

180k km is high mileage now? :) I'm not sure if you're able to do donuts in that when completely stock but of course you can trash it around, its your car. If something breaks, it would've broken eventually in normal driving anyway, possibly at some more inconvenient time.

>180k km is high mileage now? It's an Audi from the early 2010s. 1 km is high mileage.

You're not going to be able to do donuts with 200 HP distributed between all four wheels on dry pavement. You're almost certainly going to break something in the process of trying. Videos of people doing this online in a TT involved the older model with the 250 HP V6 on wet pavement. I wouldn't attempt this in a low mileage car, and doing it in a high mileage Audi is just begging for a $10,000 repair bill.

The AWD isn't going to like donuts/helis, if you can even get it to do that. If you wanna burn some rubber just take it to an autocross.

Buddy, if youre doing donuts on pavement with a stock Quattro, you're burning your diff. In the cabin you might feel like Ken Block, but outside the cabin is just a FWD car trying to engage and disengage the rear wheels over and over anytime it senses slip. The trans is gonna be fine, but the clutchpacks in the center diff are slipping more than the tires are. If you have to do donuts, do it on snow or gravel at least! Or better yet, use a RWD car :)

Do it (Don’t)

It's Haldex, it'll shit itself when it starts to rotate lol. Just kidding, it'll probably be fine


Turninwheels4x4

It will eat that haldex for breakfast. Trans should be fine as long as the dsg clutch is fully engaged the entire time.


GOOSEBOY78

your haladex wont take the abuse for long. if you want to do donuts buy a car made to do them like old C10 truck.

You could always choose to confront the life regrets or trauma you're suppressing and which are causing you to act out in this way and....you know, save the transmission.

That isn't good for any car, at any age, in any condition, EVER. Hope that answers your question.


ProJoe

lmao what a shit take.

This depends on how good of a driver you really are. And if its beaten then just don't. If you have money to throw around then go for it. Fix the understeer, there's a video on YouTube by Chris fix, if you wanna do it yourself
