Martin, look here:

Searching is so easy at google... this particular thread is talking
about two different things.

1 On ice or packed snow, if you put an AWD CR-V into a park-brake skid,
you'll get a horrendous noise from the rear end as it tries to lock up
the front wheels. (back wheels are going '0', therefore it tries to make
front wheels do the same) A four-wheel sideways skid is very
unsophisticated looking.

2 If the fluid isn't doing it's job perfectly, you'll get a similar, but
softer 'groan' or 'skrunch' noise when you turn sharply and apply power.
For a few dollars, and a some plastic tubing, you can be sure that your
differential is perfect.

Caveat: You must be using four tires of equal size and pressure or the
(noise) problem will appear under more common driving conditions.
