Not flooring it from a stand still might help

Well used to be able to floor it before and with the traction and 4x4 it never used to spin !!!

Temps are lower so less grip from the tyres unless you have winters fitted.

If it's the front wheels spinning it could be a faulty Haldex Controller and it doesn't always throw a fault light. Worth getting it scanned with VCDS to be sure.

Thanks for this, yes its the front , defo nothing to do with tyres or conditions as its been dry when its done it , thanks again

Thanks matt very helpful that .... I am not alone

[bigg70]

Thanks all, had it scanned and came up with fault code 00448 haldex clutch pump

It's seems quite a common issue, or is certainly becoming one on the later cars.
One to watch at around 50k miles.

39000 she has on her ....I am going to cange the oil n filter 1st just on the off chance that might solve it before going to n the expense of a new pump, I will let you know how it , goes cheers

As said pre-charge pump is quite a common failure. Unlikely an.oil and filter would fix it and you'll just need to do the oil and filter again when you change the pump.

Had this on mine 2011 and was the haldex pump.
