When I’m doing 60 on motorway and then put my foot down I get a little wobble and the traction light keeps flashing up but it doesn’t feel like it’s losing traction thou, cause this possibly be wheel out of alignment?

Thank

Sounds like a Haldex issue.

Have you had the car scanned for errors?

Had a mate come over from RAC and plugged it in and it showed up no fault codes, went out in it for a drive and it didn’t do it again,
He said it might be a wheel bearing or a ring behind the wheel

Haldex 100%. Normally you can feel the clutch on the pump disengaging when the traction flickers. When I first bought the car I’ve also scanned on VCDS with a V181 fault, gone to Audi and it’s not been on their scan device. So try someone with VCDS locally.

Below is a screen shot of the VCDS error V181 when my Mrs RS 3 developed the same issue when accelerating from ~60 MPH

As Jay has correctly pointed out, you need to get it scanned by someone who has VCDS

Haldex pump changed under extended warranty - problem solved. 

BTW: I then got the Haldex filter replaced by my Audi Independent service garage as Audi don't change the filters!

Or this fault code which is normally early signs of the haldex struggling. Potential blockage on the filter/ strainer. If I was you I’d just do a haldex service. Change oil and filter kit for £70 in parts and see how you get on. The pump may be saveable but react before it gets worse. New pump for your info is approx £180.
