Default Haldex Question... And No this is not another should I buy a Blue or Orange Question LOL!

In the past I had been able to have the entire car on the lift and put it into gear and all four wheels would spin

Currently with the car in the air If I try to put it in gear and let out on the clutch the car stalls, if I let out easy I can see the back wheels trying to move but are being held back(I assume the brakes triggered by some wierd ESP message).
If I turn off ESP, I can put the car in gear and it doesn't stall but the rear tires don't spin.

Anyway, I'm waiting on Uni to give me feedback as this just started after switching to a VW UNI ECU, but thought I'd reach out to the forum to see if my thoughts are correct about ESP and the braking causing the stall.

Also try lifting the parking brake (just a notch) - this should "disengage" the Haldex...

Default God I feel Like a Moron! AWD Works again

So I figured, even though I hadn't done anything under the car to put it in a bind I'd double check.

Anyway I found the problem, my rear wing of the lift was up against the tire. Lowered the car readjusted the wing and AWD works fine both ESP on or Off.
