ok so now today is another problem. i got home from work no problems then. i left with a friend and my girlfriend was going to use the car. she tried to turn around andin mid turn nothing. no power to the wheels it seems like to me that it is a CV, because when the car is on now you can put it in gear but just revs up and if you put it in drive same but the speedo will go up with it. what do you think it could be

 

well it wouldn't be a CV joint since you most likely have quattro therefore you would still have 3 of 4 wheels able to turn. Need more info. Manual or auto? If its an auto when you put it into D do you hear it trying to do something?

 

No, if one axle fails the car will not move. It will send all the power to the broken axle.

Thats what I would guess the problem is, time to do some inspecting.

 

what luky duky said

 

I had a CV joint fall apart in my driveway and it wouldn't move at all, but it did make quite a bit of noise.

 

it is quattro and it is the 5 auto

 

and when it is in drive I can feel the tranny tring to do something so i guess it is time to put her on the lift and try to pull it off lol ill keep you updated and any more info to help this prosess will help lots... thanks all of you for your feed back

It's easy, they already answered it... You broke and axle/cv... Jack up the car motor off and in gear see what wheel turns freely **** your likely to just see the break!

 

I had the same affect happen to me turning and every thing I red this post and than checked and sure anough the passenger side cv axle was just spinning on the tranny side but after the boot nothing thanks this helped a lot

 

Has it been making a nice click for a while? i know mine has i am just waiting for it to fail. damn UPS wheres my parts!!!!!!
