OEM Haldex Controller

[gsmboy]

Hey Guys,

After reading the various treads on the forum about Haldex issues, I have narrowed down the scrubbing/locking in my rear when i turn hard right or left is caused by an electrical issue. I have isolated it to my Haldex Controller. I'm trying to source a used controller for My 2000 S3 with APY engine, therefore will an OEM Haldex Controller from a 2001 S3 with AMK engine be compatible?

Cheers
Steve

does your car have esp?
if it does you need a controller from an esp car too. and visa versa
Thats my understanding

Yeah, my car does have ESP. So that should be compatible?

 

[jezzy]

if the other car has esp then yes

Is it defo this?

I actually noticed this happening on my car the other day as well, I have recently had an oil and filter change for the haldex, thinking that would sort the issue, however it hasnt.

Also, if you do a search, there is a thread on here about a bad earth that could be causing the issue, I am yet to look at mine and am hoping its that thats causing the issue and is an easy fix
