Default Audi a3 2011 s line quattro issues

Hi

About 7 weeks ago my wife went to Cumbria to see family and on her way home hit a pot hole which result in two blown tyres which meant a tow home by recovery the next day I was taken to the garage near home to have the two tyres replaced no issues at all didnt mention visual damage and away I went 2 weeks later on the motorway noticed a loud rumbling noise over 80 mph to a point where I felt deaf so took the car back to the garage to have the wheels re balanced as it was also pulling to the left this was done and again nothing was mentioned about any damage. Last 2 weeks I've had alot of wheel spin in the dry and wet, wet weather is unbearable I hate driving the car at the moment of I put my foot down in second and third the traction light will flash repeatedly and can feel the car is struggling to grip to the road all tyres have plenty of tread

No errors have flashed up on the dash friend if mine said sounds like a haldex fault far as I know haldex has never been serviced

I have also tried swapping the fuse which has made no difference if I unplug the fuse the errors come up on the dash

I'd the haldex was the issue wouldnt a warning light stay on

I'd suggest having the car aligned. I think it's likely that (at best) the alignment was knocked out - at worst, something was bent and will require replacement. That could explain your issues / symptoms, though with a car as complicated as an AWD Audi, it could be a lot more "interesting"...
