Default 225 TT Has been pulling really hard.......

I have no ideal as to why but my stock 225QR has been runing very well for the past week or so. Just the other day I was at a stop light and went to change lanes and pass the car next to me. In first gear, let it rev up, pulled really hard and by 5k the front wheels broke loose. The road was not wet or slick, just lots of fun wish I knew why. Anyone got any input?

Default If your front wheels broke loose...>>

Sounds like you have a problem, like your Haldex isn't working... Since you're only running FWD when the rear may be calling for traction, it may feel a little perkier.... Any CEL's? You might want to get that checked out.

Default Put a Vag com on the car and..>>

check for codes, or......Go out and do some vigorous launches in the wet, or on sand or dirt. If all 4 don't hook up immediately you may have a Haldex controller issue....Others have had this happen so it is not totally unusual. The controller is about $800 though, so you need to check it out!

Default I also forgot to mention that.............

for the first time ever (have had the car for about 3 months) I have been hearing a whoosh sound when I step on it.
