Super TestCar reviews - Volkswagen - Passat - V6 Syncro sedanVolkswagen modelsTransmission15 Feb 2001 By P TIBBLES FIVE-SPEED tiptronic automatic transmission is standard in the 2.8 Syncro. The driver can selected either full-auto mode, or select ratios manually. The all-wheel drive Syncro driveline incorporates an Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) to act as a starting aid when road conditions are poor. EDL operates by means of an ABS-controlled brake application in which a difference in wheel speeds is detected as a result of one wheel having less grip than the others. The wheel with a tendency to spin is braked and the power redistributed to the wheels with better grip. Did you know?The Passat's all-wheel-drive system uses a Torsen centre differential with automatic locking action to distribute torque variably to all four wheelsAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
