I take it that you have had the 10 year service, and that includes Autobox oils, but not Haldex. (this may be irrelevant if the Haldex was changed recently)

I have MY13 XS SD4. In hot conditions I get what sounds like Haldex slipping when setting off from start or accelerating from a slower speed under gentle throttle. I think it may be caused by the Haldex clutch plates sticking? Hopefully a Haldex clean and service will sort it . FL2 SD4 XS 2013 Orkney Grey |

No problems with haldex issues on our car with multiple days of mid 40ies. Sometimes just going for a brief walk in the middle of nowhere & leaving the engine running, & air conditioning!

Both the Autobox and Haldex were replaced just over 2 years ago, so I've not had them serviced yet, although I intend to fairly soon as have now covered 20k miles. The issue in the post you linked was never resolved as such, but a day or so after driving through the water (I wouldn't really call it wading), the message disappeared. A week or two later, I again had to drive through a flooded patch of road and it happened again... warning on for a few days, then, presumably when it had fully dried out, it went. This is similar in that it is most definitely triggered when the car has been sat baking in the heat. I went out to it late as night once the ambient temperature had cooled and it was fine. Same again this morning. But about 2 hours ago I went out to it once it was really hot (car reading 30c), and the warning was back. I'm thinking it must be an electrical issue? |

Thanks for the post. The slipping noise seems to come from the rear of the vehicle. Although strangely enough last summer I pulled the Haldex fuse and the noise continued? No reoccurrance so far this summer. FL2 SD4 XS 2013 Orkney Grey |

Just to update... I checked the vehicle several times yesterday and even into the evening the temperature gauge was reading 25c+ and the fault message remained.
