Its 90% FWD and 10% Rear IIRC and it does not have selectable modes to my knowledge.
The Offroad pack may have something different.

Hey Guys,
Was after some info on the 4WD system in the Tiguan. Is it constant 4WD or FWD with AWD that kicks in when you get wheel spin? Does it have selectable modes etc?
Cheers

Thanks Ben, I guess a Haldex controller would be available too?

Think most people have got this one answered above, yep it's the latest Haldex system which is one of the best if not the best around.
In the off-road version we have an "off-road" switch which alters the gear selection points, changes the throttle and brake pedal response and modifies the ABS and ESP systems for maximum off-road ability, it allows the diffs to lock-up and will even go so far as sending power to just one wheel if the others are losing traction (it actually sends the power to all 4 BUT uses the ABS to stop any spinning on the three that have lost traction). It also provides hill decent and ascent control. It's probably the most capable system out there for a multi purpose set-up.
When it's coupled with the diesel / auto it's an awesome little package.
Cheers

I thought I read somewhere that on take-off the Tig always starts off in 50/50. Certainly feels that way, very secure in mud, wet grass or road surface
