suspicion that haldex isnt working

[quozl]

Quite often it will throw a code without throwing any indication on the dash, we had this happen at a rally once years ago up here with the resulting Vagcom report something like "brake light switch intermittent". There are a heap of threads on Vortex as dainese says but get someone to scan the car for you with Vagcom if you don't own it yourself or take it to a dealer and get it done it is the only accurate way of knowing what is causing it.

If you get no codes then some of these threads may help you narrow down the issue.

Check the following threads on Vortex

Haldex Problem

AWD Haldex Issue

My AWD isn't working

Haldex Pump Issue

There are hundreds of others just do a search of the Mk IV R32 forum.

Well had the car scanned last nite and gave me same code as quozl "brake light switch"... so ill try get it replaced soon and see how it goes from there.
