    Hi All

    Is there anyway I can disable the Haldex on my mk5 R32 to run it on a FWD dyno?

    I have heard that the mk4's were as easy as removing a fuse , could the mk5 be the same?
    If so could you please refer me to the right fuse?

    TIA

    pull e-brake or fuse worked on mk4. I'd assume same on mk5. easy enough to test.

    Pulling e-brake and fuse works well enough, but the Haldex will rotate at full speed disengaged, making the oil overheat. Might not be any problems, but I wouldnt risk it..

    Only really good way to do it is to remove the cardan axle or find a 4wd dyno...
