Hi, when i drove my car home 2 years ago, my Haldex rear differential broke down on the way home from the dealer. I started hearing noise at a stretch of road with maintenance so the speed was only 50 km/h. Then suddenly the whole back end of the car went airborne, and upon landing the whole back differential cracked... So after 2 months in the repair shop and with a replaced back differential i could finally get the car home.
However... now 2 years later/20000km driven i am getting the same noise that occurred just before the last breakdown... So i do not dare to drive the car at the moment... Going airborne one more time, and maybe in higher speeds, does not feel like something to try again.
I will get the car to a friendly mechanic and we will investigate, but what ever is wrong i would like to fix that the back differential is better than stock.
Has anyone switched to a back differential from for example an RS3? Or is it the same internals in those back differentials?
Any other suggestions to make it stay together is highly appreciated
