    Haldex gen2 service guide

    AFAIK you need to pump it in. you can not just pour it in because of the bad location of filler cap. there must be a guide somewhere in the web.

    if you are going to buy powerflex buy no 1 and 2 and both left and right total 4 bushes. if you buy oem you can replace only the needed. these rubber(oem) bushes are absorbing vibrations in the suspension elements thus enabling a smoot comfortable ride. if you are after very crisp suspension...
