Haldex mileage on VCID report

Featured Replies

Hi I have 2.0l TDI 2010 scout, 6spd manual.

I have a fault with my haldex unit and in the printed out report the vehicle has done 106 , 500 km , but under the haldex section address 22 And the mileage is 3, 618, 101 km.

Does anybody know why the haldex mileage this would be so different to the vehicle? is this my haldex unit or has it been swapped?

I can't check mileage on old reports as there was no fault and no mileage reported??

First, was the scan done with a genuine VCDS interface? Second, having owned an Octavia Ii 4X4, I am aware that VCDS lacks a label file for that module (as shown by Redir Failed at the start of that scan). The mileage is clearly a nonsense and I believe that you should ignore it. Where would the Haldex controller get a mileage input from and for what purpose?

Yes by independent dealer.

Can the reports be edited?

I ask as I have suspicion, car had gearbox look at, still ****e and will be going back. Then week later my EGR packed up then when collecting they said I got this fault. Lost faith in this unnamed dealer for now!!!

Makes me wonder if this is true has part been swapped or printed report edited?

I expanded my reply above while you were writing yours. Yes, VCDS reports can be edited like any other word document but why would the dealer edit it? You have been given a printout showing a fault or faults whereas the dealer could have cleared the fault codes and given you a 'clean' scan.

P.S. Another member with an Octavia II 4X4 has recently provided Ross-Tech with the necessary input for them to produce a valid Label File for the Haldex 4 for that model.

perhaps I am a bit suspicious as I have just had work done with them, on the gearbox and then EGR valve 1 week later, and it is being covered on my 3rd party warranty. It didn't even get out the work shop when they said it had this fault, but it didn't have any issues before hand.

So additional faults = more work and seems as good a reason as any to engineer another fault.

So going back to my original question of the mileage difference, do you believe this is an genuine reporting error, that a valid label file for haldex 4 would report it correctly?
