    suspicion that haldex isnt working

    hi all,

    a lil background info, mk4 r32 85000km, serviced regularly, blue haldex controller installed and a few other small mods.
    now done to the business, after meetin up with dainese on the weekend i have come to the conclusion that my haldex is not functioning properly, as i can get a tremendous amount of wheelspin in 1st and 2nd whilst taking off normally and then accelerating hard.
    i have read around a few different places and heard things such as the electric precharge pump being the cause but im really at a loss as to what it may be, so if anyone can provide any comments as to why or what is causing this or have had similar experiences and hopefully solutions, you would officially be my new best friend.
    also i havnt had it scanned yet for any fault codes, if anyone can help out with tht would be appreciated.

    thanks

    Matt

    given your location mate, i'd give Arthur from Exoticars a call in Nth Parra and swing by there.

    Hell, why he is fixing your ride you can gawk at the inevitable Ferrari or Lambo in there too. crazy stuff.

    in that case for you, was it a fuse or a controller or the diff?

    R32 Fuse List or PDF version

    Fuse 31 TCM (Transmission Control Module)

    BTW it could be your brake light switch, E brake button or sometimes the plug to the controller gets corroded. Best bet is to scan for codes first.

    Look forward to an update - hope that it's no too big an issue.
