Hi All,  Last time this was done by a dealer, they didn't clean the gauze strainer.  I'm keen to do it myself, this time, so that I can give it a proper clean.

Any tips or recommended "how-to" videos, please?

I've been slightly unnerved by one suggestion that I'll need to do a "pump re-learn"?  (Seems a bit extreme after an oil change)?!

2017 150 DSG 4x4.

You have included the word 'diff' in the thread title, probably by accident but please do not confuse the diff with the Haldex. Bad things will happen.

Thanks for that.  Do you know if a 2017 Kodiaq would be "Generation 5", as in that link, please?  It doesn't seem to be on the list in the link.

Also, I don't have VCDS.  (Although I do have an OBDeleven dongle).  I'll have to see if that can do the pump re-learn.  Would I be right in thinking that the pump is continuously learning anyway, so if I don't do the re-learn, it will just do it after some driving in any case?  (But just take longer).

Sorry, yes, fair point.  I do, of course, mean the Haldex oil!

Yes, the Kodiaq has the Haldex gen 5 , that’s why I posted that link.

OK, thanks.  Just thought I'd better check!

Well, I finally got round to it this afternoon.  Bloody glad I did!

 

 

Always worth paying that bit extra for a full, main dealer service history...😒

Well that's manky, so clearly not.   How. many miles on the car?    This was the state of the gauze strainer on our Karoq 190 TDI at c 20k miles...

2017 car with only 44,000 "light" miles on it.  Haldex oil previously changed by main stealers.  This is the first time I've done it myself.

 

The oil was also pretty manky, with "bits" in it.
