Golf R 4 wheel drive failure?

[jdjd]

I'm sure I'm getting no power to my rear wheels on my R, happened halfway into a spirited drive yesterday, front wheels are spinning like crazy all the way into 4th when pedal is pushed down, and torque steering.
 
  Is this likely to be a super expensive to fix?
 I have no warning lights, no bangs rattles noises or impact when it happened, Car is out of warranty now :s

Posted off my phone thanks!

Oh dear I am sorry to hear that especially now out of warranty. Is there anything on the R forum about this? Haldex issue may be?

Thats not good 

Just a shot in the dark but have you checked the fuse ?
ive seen Rs take the haldex fuse out when on the rollers to stop the rear wheels driving, hope its something as simple as this for you bud ?

Earlier Freelanders, that used the same Haldex system were prone to failure. You can hear it whining/grinding when at low speed on a lot of lock, just holding speed. Try it in a car park and see if you can hear anything. If you can't it may well be electrical.

No noises or anything,
  Has anybody here got a golf R? In my booklet it doesn't even provide me with a list to show what fuse effects what, Am I looking into the engine bay fuse box or dashboard one?

 Where's hurdy when you need him

Maybe better asking here http://www.rforum.co.uk/index.php ?

Known issue. See YouTube and the r forum most noticed it last year in the ice and make.
Think I even posted about it on the r forum.

You found out anything JD ?

I suggested fuse and haldex to you by text.

Fuse is fuse station 31 and if it is your Haldex box, I have a spare one.

If there's a fault I'd expect an ESP fault, or at least some sort of warning on the dash.

Have you tried a hard launch in first gear?

If its the common fault (as I talked about on the r forum) Iirc it only shows a fault in the haldex box.
