Hi, this probably gets asked quite a lot at this time of year.  Can someone clarify if my 4x4 is working correctly?

 

1.  2 weeks ago, Driving slow speed in the snow, first gear, gave it a good bit of throttle in a car park and the back end stepped out slightly.. haldex working fine.

 

2. Today, snow on the drive has mostly melted and left a slick of ice, slow manoeuvring from a standstill, reversing the car onto the drive and both front wheels spinning/losing traction but back wheels not driving? Seemed like the haldex wasn’t working but is this right enough if both front wheels are spinning?

 

it’s due an oil and filter change of the haldex pump anyway but hopefully the pump isn’t knackered.

Was there somebody watching to confirm both rear wheels were definately not spinning? 

Nobody there to watch but the back wheels had cleared the worst of the ice and were on gravel so if they had turned I am sure the car would have moved easily. 

Sounds like the Haldex isn't working to me
