Hello,

A friend told me that since his ASZ-G4 engine was chipped and the Haldex oil was last changed by his workshop, he's been experiencing clutch slippage. When he accelerates hard, the engine revs up faster than the speedometer indicates.
Could something have happened during the oil change that could cause these symptoms?
Or, if the power flow to the front wheels is never interrupted, then "if something slips," it must be the normal clutch of the gearbox (excluding the possibility of spinning wheels).

That's how it should be. As far as I know, the power transmission to the HA (likely referring to a specific component) is achieved only through a simple bevel gear.

That's also my thought... and if you remove the driveshaft, does it essentially become a normal front-wheel drive vehicle (aside from a potentially heavier-running rear axle due to the Haldex system)?

OK, thank you.
Then my acquaintance probably needs a new clutch - or a motor software with reduced torque icon_rolleyes.gif.

I'd bet 100 euros that the problem existed before the oil change.
Some people are extremely sensitive after repairs have been carried out.

.. or perhaps a little more feeling in the accelerator pedal icon_wink.gif.
