Thank you very very much!!! Thank you very very much!!!

Thank you all so much for making me dodge this bullet...

I have a liter and he wants more. I'm back in the store for more, and I'll go back to the supermarket to refill. Tomorrow I'll go to the elevator. Do you know how many liters it takes? 1,2 litres...

Haldex maintenance is well done, refilled and well done but I got confused and drained the diff reservoir. Try to put hojaldex oil but of course through the tank through the drain hole. I have driven approximately 20 km like this, and now I have left the car in the parking lot of a supermarket I am desperate to find the oil and fill it up even with the car jack

I have to drive a few kms like this to the service...

Well, it's done! Except for my stupidity when confusing the drain screw, I have not had any complications. I have removed the cable supports, the pump ... I cannot say how much oil has entered but after starting it they have entered just over 50cl. In general it is quite simple, even more than a change of engine oil. The car has just 70,000 km and is the second oil change of the Haldex and the first cleaning of the filter. It is filled in the same place, right? Que el haldex,no?

God how stupid!! I have removed the one that is not!?

I'm doing it right now and in fact I need urgent help because it doesn't take oil from the filler cap, even removing the drain plug the oil doesn't come out there. I have started the car but it still does not get oil from the filler cap I do not know what to do.

I've had my Superb for a little over two years, and I hadn't realized that AFS fatos did so many things. I did not know that depending on the speed, the left headlight illuminates the left area but below and that from 100 km/h it goes straight and focuses further. With xenon bulbs I hadn't realized they did so many things. I put a video of a similar model in which you can see the AFS system that Skoda has. https://www.hella.com/techworld/uk/Technical/Automotive-lighting/Adaptive-headlights-663/

Thank you very much!!

I don't have vcds and with obd11 I think there are too many steps to confuse and create bigger problems. I have seen and read maintenance in which it is not necessary to activate the pump. Can it be done without doing it?

Remove and put without failures and without changing ballasts. They have fans, so far no problem. Much more light than xenon in short. In long loses a bit.

wow, in Spain it is impossible to take is in a car. Only 4x4s carry it after approval, with a project signed by an engineer, ITV and a note on the car's technical sheet.

I have made the mistake of changing the LED bulbs with new Osram Xenarc Classic ones, and what a great disaster. They are even worse than the Original HBI that was originally installed. I think I'll go back to LED even if I sacrifice a bit on high beam, but I gain a lot, a lot with low beam.

what is that?

True, but on the road LED bulbs fall short at speeds over 140 km/h. Using dipped beam, in the city or residential areas or between small population centers they are very good, better than xenon, but for all uses I think xenon is better. I don't know how the stock LED lights work or the Matrix LED, which I think is spectacular.

So is it necessary to have vcds to adjust some parameter of the pump or can it be done without it?

VID_20221218164331.mp4 I decided to replace the stock OSRAM cbi xenon bulbs with D+380 LED bulbs. The change has cost me more than it should have to take the old anchor with "clips" and it is necessary to remove the wheel and the wheel arch. The change has disappointed me a bit, because there is an improvement in intensity and color in the low beams but in the long ones there is no improvement. For use in the city or in urban areas, it is an improvement, but for motorway trips, for me, I do not see them as appropriate since in my case it causes me fatigue when I cannot see far. The bulbs reach far but without power, so you have to strain your eyes, since the light does not end like a xenon, but it reaches but without seeing anything. Summarizing my experience, D+380 bulbs tested in different countries, 35w using the same standard ballasts. Better light and color, more intensity on short beams but ineffective on long beams. Long lights with led fog lights activated and short without them.

Thank you all!! I have found this kit at a good price (it's a pity about Brexit that they charge me import costs) but it works out better than buying the oil, gaskets and screws separately at Autodoc.es. Thank you very much, I will comment when I do my experience. https://www.ebay.es/itm/175091499836

I have seen a video in which they do not disconnect the pump and clean it with it connected. Is it valid or is it better to remove it? Can I start and gear up with the car on the lift or is it better to take it out and drive around the block?

As soon as the oil (febi 101172) arrives, I will buy a syringe and go to a rental box to carry out maintenance on the haldex gen 5 and clean the "filter" that the official service does not do. Any advice or experience to consider?? Thank you!

Yesterday I saw that they have released a new version of the Osram Nightbreaker Laser, this time with 220% more power... I think that from what I've seen in terms of value for money, the best option is the Osram Classic. And the test in which the Osram Classic is the best option, quality price.
