Partially disable EDL on 97 Quattro IV (hack idea)?
Hello everybody!
After some semi-satisfactory drift sessions in the few snowy days we have left, I read up on how exactly the Quattro IV system works on my 97 V6.
First of all, am I correct in assuming that since there are no switches in the cockpit, my Audi lacks both ESP and TCS?
Now to my idea:
What happens if I disconnect both front wheelspeed sensors? I know that a single sensor defect will not cause the ABS to deactivate as a whole so I assume the same will be true for the EDL.
The question is how the EDL will behave if the whole front axle speed can no longer be measured by the ABS.
My idea was that the EDL still keeps working on the rear, matching the speed of the rear wheels to each other, essentially simulating a locked rear diff.
But since the car has no way of knowing if the rear axle as a whole is slipping, the EDL never brakes both rear wheels, thus allowing the power to produce a nice drift at the rear.
