S3 Haldex

[icb]

If I switch off the ESP, does the car only drive on front wheels, ie I presume Haldex doesn't operate. Thanks a lot.

Haldex works all the time.

To see what difference it makes, try pulling the handbrake on just enough for the dash light to come on - that will disable the Haldex & you will have a lot more wheelspin. Especially if your handbrake is adjusted tightly...

Haldex kicks in before the traction control does to spread the power to all 4 wheels - if traction still kicks in you know your loud pedal is working

What car model & year are you driving? The answer will tell me what controller you are using.

I upgraded mine to the Haldex PP controller (2003 MK 4 Golf R32). It has helped remove a great deal of the understeer too.
