From AWD to 1WD...

Use these 'ramps' when working on the car. Had one in front of each front wheel, but one tire just spun while the other 3 clearly did nothing (I didn't move an inch...)

Result was a 4x4"area covered with rubber dust.

Seems clear something is wrong with the AWD, but isn't traction control also supposed to brake a slipping wheel to provide more power to the rest?

Any ideas and relevant links are very much appreciated. I've reached and crossed my limit of things breaking down this month so thinking clearly and focussing isn't working too well ATM...

(List of things that broke down last month is sheer endless and includes a toilet flush reservoir leading to mold and waterleaking to the floor below, electrical bike powersupply failure, a different electrical bike powersupply failure, an electrical bike screen failure (all not related), laptop PS failure, tripped the breaker and sicne then my TV is broken too, got scammed out of 1100€ on the Dutch Ebay equivalent, control arms I replaced for the 2023 MOT already show cracked rubber, etc.)
