SLIP TEST - SYNCRO vs 4MOTION - diff lock - Volkswagen T3 vs T6 -  

T3 is incredibly capable and the perfect school book example of effective fully locking diffs. Just beautiful implementation of mechanics, resulting to robust, endlessly delivering performance. Would love the opportunity to own one, a true classic.

Haven't looked at the video, but putting money on T3. Exciting!

That was a great test, one of the most interesting you have performed. Thank you.

The 40 years old machine has a much more more serious 4 wheel drive system. The T3 Synchro can do that all day long without much fuss, the T6 can only manage to pull that out for some minutes before stalling into protection mode. Also hydraulic pumps are weak, screen tend to plug from material deposition. Anyways for a trip in the snow both system will be perfectly fine, but during heavy snow and mixed ice condition the T6 is more likely to remain stuck since it is letting the wheels slip much more, it is likely to create dig holes under the wheels that will make the way out even harder.

Boy the Visco-Kupplung on the T3 must be tight as hell or stuck in hump mode. There was NO slip. Crazy.

i like the syncro.

I guess the diff lock on T6 is an option, correct? There are lots of T6 with 4motion, but rarely with diff lock.

Great video, as always! So, is there an EDL on the rear wheels in the T6, or not? Doesn't look to work..?!

What's that annoying siren sound?

The new Haldex System seems to be garbage. Even with modern electronics
