Default Please help me diagnose problem: When chipped my car feels FWD. When stock the dealer can't detect

the issue...

I always drive my car in chip mode. Started a few months ago...car started feeling like the AWD was behaving erratically.

Then one day it just went FWD. No grip in the rain, torque steer, all that...

Took it to the dealership with the chip OFF. They can't duplicate and they say there are no codes... What to do? What could it be?

Default First do some diagnostics...>

On the haldex. An electrical fault will generally show up with a Vag scan.

Perform these. A bad controller is not that unusual..<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1452481.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1452481.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default Re: First do some diagnostics...>

i just tried that roll out test and im confused. am i supposed to get up to speed 10km/hr and then push in the clutch and let it keep circling? or am i supposed to get up to speed and not touch the clutch and let roll to stop.. help!

oh and the light that comes on when you push the esp button is always on... could my MAF problem be causing this?

But wouldn't a dealership be able to find a problem? They also did a test drive...

Default Can you duplicate the problem with the chip turned off?

If not how do you expect the dealer to diagnose?

Default Ha ha.....>

Most don't have a clue as to how the Hadex works. These instructions are directly from Haldex..
