Ok so scanned the fl2 with my icarsoft v2 LR.. Came up with a U3002 code against the rear differential module... Google has drawn a blank for this..

Anyone seen this before? I was thinking the diff may have been changed before I bought the car? 🤔🤔

Don't think the rear diff has a sensor or electrical connection to throw a code. I understand U codes are communication errors sometimes spurious. Just wondering is your battery fully charged?

Didn't think it had.. Then thought maybe it was linked to the haldex.. But I imagine I would throw its own code up... Battery is grand only replaced 2 years ago and has good voltage running through it...

Just to confirm - the rear diff is entirely mechanical and definitely has no electrical parts. Jules
