Hi All,
I have spent the last few hours looking up Haldex servicing but there is lots of conflicting information !

Some say its a non service item, others say it is 20k service oil and filter others say 40k service oil and filter and 40k no filter just oil !!

I believe it is 40k service. No filter just oil. The Haldex clutch pack is seperate from the rear diff and the 2 require different oil ! The clutch pack is Haldex oil the Diff is Gearbox oil.

Could you guys tell me if this is correct ? and when servicing the haldex do you do the diff at the same time ?

Im going to be doing alot of work on her in a few weeks getting ready for S2+ so want everything perfect. I will be changing the gearbox oil as part of changing the clutch for a Sachs Organic... So do i use the same oil for rear diff ?

Cheers :)

The car is a Tiguan in the pics but uses the same gen 4 Haldex as ours so its perfect

I spoke to audi and I got around 600ml out and put back 720ml thats the amount they told me at audi so straight from horses mouth lol! its common to get less out all my research showed most people get around 150ml less so nothing to worry about there

The Haldex oil is a 850ml bottle from Audi where all the others all 1 litres

You must buy this its perfect and could not of done it without £9.99 Screwfix mate ......................





Hope that helps fella

Good luck
 
Nice one mate, that all really helps ;-)

My pleasure mate!

I know when i was looking at doing it there was nothing about the S3 and 4 GEN so hopefully we can help others at a later date who would like to do the same with this thread

Good luck mate

Had this done at 38k by my specialist. You're right, its just the oil.

If yours is indeed a 2006 Quattro it will be Gen 2 Haldex so will require filter change mate

HTH
