The trick seems to be to keep the power on more than you would a 2wd car. In the 2wd, if the driven wheels start to spin when say climbing a hill, you tend to ease off and try and match the wheel speed to the road speed and regain traction, but in the quattro it seems better to actually ease on the throttle a bit more if you detect a loss of traction. It seems you need a certain amount of power - albeit small - to 'lock' the centre diff and lifting off a bit seems to defeat that but your mileage may vary.
