It is read in the 03-ABS Brakes Control system. What specific tool do you have in mind? Cannot afford a professional scanner, payed 600 for the Foxwell..

Just in ABS? Not in engine or gearbox or anything else?

Its become apparent to me that the Haldex clutch pump seems to be faulty. There is some old codes stored in the code reader, one of them stated "C111204" Haldex clutch pump faulty. 

But there is a massive amount of other codes under CAN Gateway (5) CS and ABS CS (1) and Cent elec.02391, 00924,00834,01259,01331,01332,01333,01334, CS(8). Very confusing😧.

J.R. you are right. 004- No signal/communication. But hard to know where to start looking. Sensors on each wheel is checked. Is it possible that the sensor itself could be U/S not showing any signs from outside?

 

 

You start by looking at the connector of the Haldex controller and the wiring to it, also the wiring to and the connector of the Haldex pump in case that is pulling down the controller, I have no idea why you would be chasing red herrings on wheel sensors.

 

Are you able to interrogate the Haldex controller with the diagnostic software you are using, if it cannot connect to it then it confirms the communication fault as being present and permanent and not just a one off glitch possibly through low battery voltage.

You are probably right..what is this issue with the red herrings? Think I might take the Yeti to a nearby garage and let them do a thorough check with pro instruments for the codes. Anyway many thanks for inputs. I will check in later to give you an update. Best regards!!

Had mine done this morning by Autotecnic in Sheffield. Very professional outfit and they did a great job. I've booked in next week for the DSG !

 

The Haldex ! Wow it needed doing ! One change previously by the dealer who would not clean the strainer.

 

Pictures speak for themselves ...

 

 

Errrk... Good that you had it done properly this time! 👍

How many miles on the clock?

The garage did a fault code check and replaced a fuse. 200£....😬

54000 km on the clock..

I did it myself at 45000km. It was already quite dirty. Have a look to my ‘How to guide’ to see the pics.

I think 37000 miles or 60000 km is the upper limit to have the pump strainer cleaned. 
To me it’s a complete non sense from Skoda / VAG to recommend a time related Haldex oil change (every 3 years) instead of every XX miles.

 Yeah saw your guide it's very good  but these days I don't have the time or the inclination to do it myself 

No problem. I was only referring to it for the pics, not to tell you to do it yourself. ...

You are of course correct though I should get off my arse and do it myself ! 

To add to the horror shows, here's my filter after 5 and half years,  68000 miles and one oil change (dealers at 2 years 47000miles, wouldn't do filter). Picture from indie's computer screen hence a bit weird looking. Midland VW near cannock. Very happy with service. £95 for haldex service and clean filter. (Skoda fixed price is £85 just oil change)

For reference, first 2 years it seemed to do 100 miles a day (presumably mway), then I got it and generally drive in town, not fast, but lots of  spirited roundabout entries etc that must tax the 4x4 as I avoid the wheel spin in damp of prev cars. (Key reason for getting the 280)

Bleedin’ ‘eck! I’ll have to have ours done, together with the DSG at the next service; it’s on 33.5K. 

@numskull  So you are already going beyond the Haldex recommendations, guidelines from Skoda / VW Group as seldom is 'schedule' used.

It is @ 3 years / 30,000 miles or sooner.

Different from the DSG which is @ 40,000 years. (or sooner)

No, it was done at 18k at 3 years old, together with the DSG. 

Good.

Why was the DSG done then?

I was aware of the time schedule, but I had never seen any mileage limit.

Where did you find this information? Thank you for sharing.

Knowing him and his fastidiousness, belt ‘n’ braces by the first owner. 

Thanks for the heads up, mine has done 24k and is 4 years old, couldn't find any reference of the work being done so I asked my indie if he'd do it during the service/mot yesterday.  He showed me pics of it as it came out, wasn't quite as bad as some of the pics above but it was covered in gunk.

Ours is on 22k now but 4 years old and needs a service...   It'll be done at an indie so I'll be asking for the filter to be cleaned as well as the dealer didn't respond when I asked if it had been cleaned when serviced before I bought it last year...

I just did mine again at 6 years / 80k. Much less black gloop than the first time, but still a thin layer covering all the gauze filter. Still well worth cleaning the gauze filter IMO. It would be an easy job if only the car was up on a lift!

Hi Guys!

 

I did a haldex service recently. I had already done a service for 15000 km ago in January . The little " filter" was really clean last time and there was just a little contamination in haldex fluid. I have done the last four services myself and trying to understand parameters that affect the change intervall. My conclusion so far is the winter is taking a toll on haldex system( snow and ice in sweden)  and haldex works harder. So i will be doing haldex service once a year  , i drive about 30k km a year so i think it should be fine.

It sounds wiser in your case.

You have got that the wrong way round, the harder the Haldex works (your words) the less the clutch plates wear.

 

When the Haldex is engaged there is no slippage, no differential movement of the clutch plates and hence no wear.

 

There is always some degree of engagement even in very gentle driving, that produces some wear, its the transition between that and full engagement that causes most of the wear.

 

The wear on the plates is insignificant, the results of the particles in suspension on the pump system are very significant.
