I'm afraid no fuse will help. You must replace the doughnut. I did disconnect the haldex controller on mine before and for what ever reason it was quieter but I wouldn't recommend doing it just buy the doughnut :)

Thanks for the response Max, I took it back to vw today and spoke to the "master tech" who assured me they changed the belt with a special cam locking tool pin, ( I already knew this) I then mentioned the torsion value showing -2.5 on vcds and the response I then got was that the cams aren't...

Hey guys Bit of a tricky one here I've currently just taken my a3 To audi for a cambelt and ever since I've had a slightlt rough idle but my mpg has been really good at least 20% better than previously. I've checked the torsion value on vcds and its at -2.50 when warm is this within normal...

I can't beleive Lemforder would be so fussy as to which EU country they will sell it to!?!?! Anyhows as an update I have fitted the new Donut and its totally fixed my problem the car drives superb again, I was going to take pics but sadly my phone was dead! my original donut was solid and had...

Bad news guys that 123spares.co.uk sent me an email telling me they cannot order the part and have fully refunded me (took 8 days for them to know that so I'll never use them again) I just ordered mine with Audi for £255 (I tried my hardest to push for a discount still but it still hit my wallet...

Still have yet to fix mine however ive orderd the part, my local stealership wanted £260 however if anyone else is having similar problem and needs to buy a new donut i've found a website selling them for £140 car spare parts - Axle Drive - Propshaft - 123spareparts.co.uk - Joint, propshaft

Hate to Bump this but im having the same problem, does anyone know where to buy this rubber donut from in the uk? and also what I need to do if I need to try cleaning it? I recently had my diff removed and replaced and think the garage didnt refit it correctly

Thanks for the ideas guys it was still working today So fingers crossed I've just bought a filtering and oil to do another flush on the system just incase , really weird how its started since its all working again mind I though the prop shaft span constantly but I guess now its working its got...

ok so randomly driving today and I hear a humming noise doing around 60mph in 6th gear.... look at my dash and the esp light has gone out!!! took car off main road to check it out and to my suprise ive got 4wd drive again!! however as I must be one of the most unlucky owners of this car I now...

Could be an excellent idea and worth £20 if it works! my previous controller had a pin hole in it and wouldn't read but the valves could be good! I'll give it a go and tell you the result, thanks again shariain :)

Well my problem is that my previous system had failed and they where installing a second hand one, I was recommended to take it to this guy through a friend as he once worked for vw (I can see why he doesn't now) but he's telling me the new unit is a dud however I caught him out when questioning...

Hey guys I recently had a second hand diff and controller installed on my A3 however the new unit also wouldn't work, doing a further investigation the garage admitted they only put gear oil in and not haldex oil which has annoyed me, when I turn the car on I hear the pump making churning...

So as I've got work commitments I've been still running the car for around a week now, does anyone know if the gearbox oil will screw up the haldex up? I've turned on the key and can hear the pump activate but it sounds like its got bubbles in it? Should I stop driving the car guys? Lol (gear...
