Hey guys , It was my forth day with the weistec's stage 2 . I really liked it . Then suddenly when i was cruising on comfort my engine revved up . Then i got scared and stopped on the right . And got this message "Rear axle lock differential innoperative". I turned off my car then turned it on again same problem . Whenever i accelerate nothing happens just engine revves up and i hear a whistling sound from the diff. But the car still moves when i release the brake . But doesnt accelerate (i dont know whats the word) , all throttle response revs up the engine and the car is not accelerating and sometimes the car suddenly switches to neutral and i get the message again , also engine light on .

Is this just a safety issue ? Or does this mean i have a slight issue or that i need to change the whole difference ? Should i remove the weistec downpipes tune and filter and restore stock ecu and take it to the agency and fix it on warranty ? Because warranty will go away if they found out i tuned. Please help guys . And thanks❤️

Call Weistec ASAP. It could be a software glitch. They will reflash your ECU and you can try again.

FWIW: This is a first occurance of this issue stock or otherwise.

Please let us know how this comes out.

Best wishes
