Anyone know what this is?

Post by s8n » Tue Jun 07, 2005 11:30 pm

When I floor the car in 1st, the haldex will cut in but the car makes quite a noise... never happens in 2nd or any other gear. Its like a faint vibration through the front of the car as you floor it - it never happens when I give 1st some stick but not enough to sorta break traction.

Its quite distracting and sounds bad, but is it?

I get some funny noises sometimes but it's probably due to the turbo/exhaust ,are you running alot of torque?
