Hello,
My relative has 325iX (as do I) and he removed the front driveshaft because the front diff has some play and he intends to fix it. But the weird (?) thing is that when he removed the front driveshaft from the transfer case no power is transferred to rear either. I (and he as well) thought that the power should still be transferred to rear and the car could be driven as a RWD (at least theoretically). But the car does not move at all. When he reinstalled the front driveshaft the power was sent back to rear and as he says also to front (as he can spin the rear wheels and he feels that the car behaves like 4wd not RWD). Is this normal behaviour or what are we missing here? Would this be normal behaviour if the VC is shot?
Thanks in advance!
