Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - AWD Transmission: - how many of you have suffered AWD system issues?

I have a 2010 D5 with the Polestar upgrade. It shifts quite nicely on the move, but I'm slightly annoyed at how much it wheel spins if accelerating hard in the wet. I know the haldex system is front wheel predominant, but it almost feels like it is a front wheel drive car, not AWD. I also have a Quattro Audi (Torsen permanent AWD) and dont have any issues like this.

My question is, is this normal, or could it imply an AWD issue? I've had the haldex pump replaced in the last 12 months, so it should be working fine.
