Neglected Haldex servicing can leave the quattro system inactive, so the car loses rear-wheel traction in slippery conditions.
- DSG S tronic Mechatronic FailureSerious
The DQ250/DQ500 6 or 7-speed S tronic gearbox can develop mechatronic unit faults or clutch pack wear, causing jerky shifts and gear loss.
