Mk7 Haldex Fluid Change and Pump Gauze Clean

[KidR]

Mines booked in at vrs on Monday for haldex service and some other bits ,  £99  for the haldex oil change and clean the filter.

Yes, £99 plus VAT so £108.80 in total.

I know this is an old thread but if anyone is planning to do this themselves (or even take it to a non-specialist garage), the haldex pump needs an 'adaption' procedure (I don't think this is the same as driving it round the block and topping it up btw).

Can I clean only the pump gauge without lost all my haldex oil? I did the oil replace last week I didn't know about the pump filter ):

No, you will lose all the oil when you remove the pump.

Can you not just put the oil back in?

You could but now it will be contaminated with all the crud thatvwas left in the housing and on the gauze.

My car has been feeling a little front wheel drive now it's at 37k miles. So had a go using this thread, I jacked one side and then the other as I only had two stands. Took a little while longer but all good. I wasn't keen on being under the car so long as all I could think about was my head popping like a grape if something went wrong... but, it didn't. Car feels much better now.

 

Random question, can you overfill the haldex? Would it cause issues, I put in just over 700ml but I was lazy and filled when it was lifted on the passenger side so I didn't drop it to let excess run out.
