    Sounds like there is an issue with the traction control system that should be engaging the Haldex to send power to the rear and locking the rear diff lock and engaging the brake to control the spin on the wheel with no traction. I dont know what disengage buttons the T5 has but maybe its all been disengaged in some way

    On the day I didn't think to change the Traction Control setting, I just turned Diff Lock on and off. As the picture shows, they are the only 2 buttons available. I think i will have check and see if the Diff Lock actually works!!

    If the Haldex clutch (which send power to the rear wheels) is not working, the diff lock will not work either. Check the fuse of the Haldex and do a VCDS error code scan to see if there are any errors from the Haldex or the traction control or ABS modules.

    Essentially it sounds like your T5 is FWD only at the moment.
