Greetings all at Briskoda,

The name is Jack and I am the proud owner of a white 2010 Octavia Scout 2.0 Tdi. Compliments to all members for a very informative Skoda forum.

I have 3 small issues that could be interrelated and I would appreciate some advise on how to resolve them.

1. It seems to me that after this winters heavy snow driving the Haldex has become excited / faulty and seems to engaged for only a moment when the vehicle takes a sharp corner on a paved / tarred surface. I have noticed this more and more now. It does this mainly on a left turn and can be felt by a small thrust sensation with a slight jerk.

2. I have also noticed a small clanking noise originating from the clutch when depressed on an incline when ready to stop at a traffic light or parking.

3. While cruising on the high way at +-100mph and the accelerator is depressed there is a slight churning noise coming from either the gear box or clutch.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated on how I should go about bringing this to the attention of the dealer as the vehicle is till under guarantee but don't wish to be brushed off without being taken seriously. I am fairly mechanically minded having restored and currently drive and maintain a Land Rover series IIA Diesel 88 so do know enough to realise that something is on the brew.

Looking forward to your thoughts.

Kind regards

Jack

Hi and welcome aboard.

Welcome along

for 1: remember the haldex will only engage if the front wheels slip, so thats what you are probably feeling, it will then revert back to FWD....

Welcome to Briskoda from a fellow 4X4 owner. I recommend that you repost your query in the Octavia II forum where you are much more likely to get the advice you need.
