Haldex failure thread

[TwoLeftFeetMatt]

Sorry to hijack the post with a personal question, but would you all even consider buying a used 2015 S3 with 50k miles on it, or is the Haldex issue really that prevalent? As far as I know, I cannot check how many times the original owner used LC. I do plan on getting an ECU tune and possible a TCU tune as well. I would be purchasing it through a used dealer and not Audi themselves. Considering the extended warranty too. Thoughts?

I don't think the failures relate to how many times its used LC. On our R we have done 1000's of launches and didn't have issues.

Well looks like my haldex is shot on my 15 A3 at 41k. Replaced the haldex pump and all since it was fairly cheap along with the fluid. The excessive wheel spin still persists, and the C1113 07 code is showing on vag com. Car is Uni stage 2 debating on whether to bother with the dealer or just buy a used diff.
