	Tuning Linx - 4MOTION in VW Passat - The four-wheel drive system
		The 4MOTION drivetrain, controlled by an electronic Haldex coupling, is available as option with the Passat 2.0 FSI (110 kW / 150 PS) and the Passat 2.0 TDI (103 kW / 140 PS).
		The 4MOTION drivetrain may be combined with either body version (saloon or estate) and any of the equipment lines (3.2 V6 FSI 4MOTION available starting with the Comfortline).
		For the Passat 2.0 TDI 4MOTION a maximum trailer weight of 2 000 kg is allowed on uphill grades of up to 12 percent and 2 200 kg on up to 8 percent grades - in each case 200 kg more than with the front-wheel drive Passat 2.0 TDI.

	THE NEW GOLF 4MOTION
		Normally, in other words when the car is driving straight ahead and there’s no difference in grip between the wheels, 90 percent of the propulsion power is sent to the front axle and ten percent to the rear.
		Based on this data, the 4MOTION control unit regulates the level and trend of the hydraulic pressure that acts on the clutch discs.
		The high transverse rigidity of the axle combined with its tendency to understeer in response to lateral forces when the car is laden represent the optimum basis for high driving stability.

	2001 Volkswagen Passat GLX Wagon 4Motion - The Car Connection
		In full-featured GLX trim, moreover, with the addition of a 4Motion all-wheel-drive powertrain and the Tiptronic "clutchless-shift" automatic transmission, this car isn't so much an affordable family wagon as a pricey performance pod.
		Since this model is unavailable with a manual transmission, the five-speed Tiptronic auto shifter is virtually mandatory for snatching the ideal gear during spirited driving in challenging conditions.
		During what passes for snowy roads in Middle Tennessee, 4Motion gobbled up highway miles without so much as a single sideways "uh-oh." Moreover, nimble steering response and handling behavior enable the Passat wagon to negotiate around and past the white-knuckled "candles and batteries" crowd that ruins every snow day in these parts.

	4motion??? - Passat World Forums
		Well depending on what year you have, 4motion isn't available with the 1.8t engine...Only on the new ones can you get that.
		4motion only has a small hole (apx 7"x9" in the back seat arm rest) to access the truck.
		You can tell you have 4motion when you pull into your unplowed subdivision and you see all your neighbors abandoned cars on the side of the road and you just drive right thru to your house.

	Golf 4Motion - newstreet.it
		The Golf TDI with four-wheel drive is easily distinguishable from the outside because of the 4MOTION lettering on the rear and a visible twin tail pipe.
		The heart of the 4MOTION drive train is an axially engaged multi-plate clutch running in an oil bath.
		The Golf TDI 4MOTION is equipped as standard with a six-speed gearbox and special gear knob and is available in the equipment levels Trendline, Comfortline and Sportline.

		4MOTION® reacts to even the slightest wheel slip and distributes power and drive to the wheels with the most grip.
		For the more extreme circumstances you and your van face you’ll find the locking rear differential, which is fitted as standard to 4MOTION® vehicles, a real benefit giving increased traction by controlling any loss of traction on a rear wheel, this is all controlled via a switch conveniently located on the dash.
		In addition, the 130PS 4MOTION® window van model is equipped with ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Programme) as standard.

	Volkswagen > Models > Technical Glossary > 4MOTION
		When 4MOTION detects a need for hard acceleration 4MOTION will dial in the optimum power transmission setting for maximum traction. When wheelspin is no longer a danger, the transmission is realigned to deliver a 'normal' drive setting.
		4MOTION works seamlessly with all the other active safety systems such as ABS and ESP. The system constantly evaluates current driving conditions and makes all the right decisions, allowing you to relax.
		The Touareg features a slightly different system - 4XMOTION. In normal conditions, the Touareg's 4XMOTION has a symmetrical torque split of 50:50 front and rear. And when driving in challenging conditions, this provides ultimate control by being infinitely variable as far as 100 per cent to the wheels with the best traction.

	CanadianDriver: Used Car Review - VW Passat 4Motion, 2000 - 2003
		The word 4Motion was invented as a more warm and fuzzy way to describe all-wheel drive.
		Interestingly, the 4Motion and Audi Quattro all-wheel-drive systems are identical in the Passat and the Audi A4, A6 and A8, although the Audi TT Quattro has a different system.
		For comparison, the Passat 4Motion is a bit more expensive than comparably equipped Subaru Legacy cars, but less expensive than the all-wheel-drive Volvo V70 and S70 wagon and sedan.

		Unfortunately, the optional 4Motion all-wheel drive chops 33 percent of the trunk capacity and disallows the use of folding seats.
		There are four tie-down hooks, and the standard spare tire is under a panel, the handle of which latches to the upper lip so it doesn’t keep falling on you as you work to remove the tire.
		In Passats without 4Motion, the folding seats (see animated photo) are very simple to use because they don’t first require the cushions to be tilted forward or the head restraints to be removed.

		We tested both in mixed conditions, mostly dry and wet roads, with some gravel and a spot of icy slush near a convenient glacier.
		Visually on both the outside and inside, and in the way it drives, you'd think it was a conventional car if it weren't for some subtle 4Motion badges.
		It has the same well-designed and built interior, while its 4WD drivetrain is smooth, without the shunt and obstruction that sometimes blights robust four-wheel-drive transmissions.

		The new models will appeal to those attracted to the benefits of 4x4 transmission, but not the greater height and bulk of an SUV — for example, those who tow or regularly need to traverse light off-road terrain such as fields or lakesides.
		Unlike the front-wheel drive Golf, 4MOTION models use electronically controlled Haldex transmission, mounted on the rear axle, to split the drive between the front and rear wheels.
		The Golf 4MOTION is available to order now, either as a 2.0-litre GT FSI 150 PS or 2.0-litre GT TDI 140 PS.

		VW's 4Motion all-wheel drive is standard on W8s and available for automatic-transmission GLX and GLS V6 models.
		Test averages include 21 mpg with a manual-transmission 4-cyl sedan, 19.2-21.6 with front-drive GLX/automatic versions, 17.8 with a V6 4Motion wagon, and 16.2 with a new W8.
		Sedans have a roomy trunk with low liftover and large opening, but 4Motion reduces volume by a healthy 5 cu ft. Wagons are useful load luggers with well-finished cargo bays.

	Follow-Up Test: 2007 Volkswagen Passat Wagon 3.6 4Motion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		But this 2007 VW Passat Wagon 3.6 4Motion represents the very top of the range (the Passat Wagon Value Edition starts at $25,225), and a similarly equipped BMW 530xi sport wagon or Mercedes-Benz E350 Touring would be north of $60,000.
		Standard stuff includes a 3.6-liter V6 engine, a six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, 4Motion all-wheel drive, electronic stability control, a power tailgate, keyless entry, 17-inch wheels and tires, a power sunroof, a trip computer, satellite radio, an in-dash six-disc CD changer and front, side and side curtain airbags.
		Options on our well-equipped Granite Green tester were limited to a DVD navigation system ($1,800) and the Package #1 Luxury ($2,750), which added a truckload of stuff, including leather upholstery, a dual-zone climate control system, 12-way power-adjustable heated front seats and a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel.

	A Smooth Alternative to the SUV (washingtonpost.com)
		Also, it would be nice if the four-cylinder Passat GLS 4Motion wagon could get the EPA's 28 miles per gallon on the highway with a heavy load in the cargo bay.
		Salvation arrived in the form of the 2004 Volkswagen Passat GLS 4Motion wagon, which, by default, became this week's test vehicle.
		That means their drivers were relying on the four-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive systems of those vehicles in the same way we were depending on the drive system of the Passat GLS 4Motion -- to give us extra traction on wet or muddy roads.

		First shown in Audi TT and Golf 4motion, the new system uses a multi-plate clutch center differential developed by a Swedish company, Haldex, and computer software from the Austria 4WD specialist Steyr-Daimler-Puch.
		Based on the journalists comment about the handling of Audi TT and Golf 4motion, it seems that the 4motion system performs even better than the traditional Torsen-differential Quattro.
		Therefore, "4motion" is actually a marketing nameplate instead of indicating the mechanical design.

		Snow or no snow, the 4Motion GLX, with its 30-valve, 2.8-liter V6, is one fine-drivin' machine.
		Refined to the point of matching a 3 Series BMW and more than a couple of Japanese-branded models in terms of NVH suppression, the Passat belies the fact that it's badged with the same nameplate as the pedal car-like Beetles that were being sold here in the '50s and '60s.
		Driving this car was simply a treat with its nimble chassis and 4Motion system, which is perfect for those living in all-season climates.

		It’s almost identical to the standard GT FSI, distinguished only by a leather and chrome gearlever carrying the 4motion logo, a 4motion badge on the tailgate and twin chrome exhaust pipes.
		An electronically controlled Haldex transmission mounted on the rear axle directs 90 per cent of the drive to the front wheels most of the time.
		In extreme conditions, the 4motion would provide superior stability and make the Golf a better tow car than the front-driver.
