Do yourself maintenance of haldex gen5

Featured Replies

I fear @ApertureS is right unfortunatly. 
Sorry that the links the images are broken in my tutorial 😞. This is a common mistake: drain the Haldex and fill the diff, then go and… break the (drained) Haldex. Or drain the diff and fill the Haldex… leading to break  the (drained) diff…

 

Stop everything, take a good breath, check every step from the beginning a see where is your mistake.

 

If needed, the same tutorial is available here:

But they are in french. 😜

 

As said above don’t drive your car until both Haldex and Diff are correctly filled. ⚠️

Escuche, NO LO CONDUZCA.

 

se equivocó en alguna parte, drenó el diferencial y lo llenó con aceite de haldex o también drenó el haldex a través de la bomba. En cuyo caso has hecho algo muy malo.

 

si lo conduce, corre el riesgo de sufrir daños por valor de 1000 libras esterlinas con una bomba Haldex, un embrague y un diferencial trasero destruidos...

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

Try to drive it home at low speed. I don’t think 20km is enough to completely ruin your diff.

However, to take less risks, try to jack the car and start to refill the diff a bit.

Then refill it correctly in proper conditions, once back home.

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...

You have drained the diff, not the haldex!

Not that dirty for a first cleaning of the pump strainer after 70000km.

Good news.👍

 

Regarding the oil quantity in the diff, take a look on cardiagn.com.

You´ll be able to download all workshop manuals. Chapter « Propshaft and rear final drive » should contain the required oil quantity ;) 

 

I'm so glad you had a very clean car to post, a bit like having clean underpants incase you get hit by a bus. Also a reminder to wash mine after our snow and ice (and salt and grit)  (also a Petrol blue estate)

This thread should be tagged 'suspense'.  Hope it's not damaged. 

Just had a look to the said workshop manual (p4) . It looks like the capacity of the final drive is 0.95l. ;)

Yes, but it says that you have to fill it until oil comes out of the hole, just like the haldex.

I went back to the box to look at the levels and at the end of the Drive the extra 200 ml that entered when the car was raised on one side came out.  I have also checked the haldex and refilled a bit.  I think maintenance has ended well, after the scare of confusing the screw.

Cool, if now sorted out.

Next time look twice before you go ! ;)
