  • Audi/VW - Transverse or North South, which is best ? 20 Apr 2016 (Forum)
    VW continue with the transverse format whilst Audi prefer N/S.  But are the benefits of equal length drive shafts overplayed ? And does North South make changing cambelts more complex. And alter the balance of the car? Grateful your views?
