Guys need some help with my screwed haldex.

[Mr.G]

Hey all. Been busy for a while and not been around much.

But...i'm hoping for some advice if anyone has the time to spare.

My Traction control light has been on for a week or so. Took the car to a safe place where i could test the haldex (open flat field). The 4WD system does work and works well.

However the light remains. So i've had it on VAGCOM and its saying error 01324. Which turns out to be the haldex controller. Now it's around £700 smackers with AMD for a performance one and even more for OEM.

The car makes what i would describe as a loud tick/click noise and like an electric motor which is audible from the rear of the car. Definately not right.

Anyone shed any light on this at all?

V Unhappy at the moment and this has just topped off my day!

What about your diff could it be this? i would check. If the Haldex isnt serviced enough you can do them in.

 

[Mr.G]

Yea could be. But its not whining or anything its actually working but making this noise and the light on the dash is on.

Strange problem.

It was serviced inc Haldex around 4 weeks ago.

I remember someone starting a thread about this not long back....As stupid as it sounds does it sound like you have a bomb in your boot? (as someone else described the ticking)

 

[Mr.G]

Yes exactly that sound!

HELP!!

Lol.

Oh btw i've ripped out the fuse to the haldex clutch from the fuse box. Stopped the noise and now i've a quicker car. But need this sorted asap. Have the option of getting a new controller for 300 notes but i'm not sure that this is the problem.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the link mate. Appreciate that. It's not the same issue though. Mine is defo coming from the haldex unit. I'm trying to source one as we speak!

Cheers
