Paul, some guys on the U.K. R forum have noticed a build up of detritus on the white nylon filter. It looks almost like frogspawn! According to VW tech guys there is NO filter to clean! I had the Haldex unit on my 2014 Golf R serviced by an independent VW garage here in the U.K. I specifically asked them to clean the nylon filter when servicing the unit.
Same for my Skoda. I had to specifically take it to an independent garage for that. Dealers won't do it and I don't trust them to do it anyway even if they say they will.
Great videos. Thank you. May I make a suggestion to have standing flood lights illuminate the area your working on. I understand what and where your talking about , but a better visual would be most helpful . Thanks again for the info.
Very informative video. Why not warm the oil first to mid range then when you fill it you will know you have the correct amount when it overflows? Regards Stephen
The AWD clutch service interval for 2019 Alltrack is 3 years - time-based, not mileage-based fyi. The dealers use the 30k interval to upsell. Same with brake fluid - time-based at 2 years.
Good reccomendation on removing the wiring from the pump. What is the deal with the braided ground wire around the wiring? Mine basically disintegrated.
I guess you need the car level when doing this so you get correct amount of fluid. I will not be using a ramp so should I jack front and clear of car up
Why does the owners manual say nothing about this or the diff or the transfer case? Only talks about engine oil, transmission 100k, and radiator fluid. Is all this other stuff actually necessary?
Hi Paul, any tips for what to do when the hex on the fill plug gets stripped? That's what I have run into - I am glad I heeded your suggestion for removing that before the drain plug. It does not seem like there is enough clearance to use an EZ-out or to cut slots into the fill plug and turn it with a big flathead screwdriver. I am hoping there is enough room to get a bite with a pair of Vise Grips and apply torque that way.
Thanks for this video. I did this last week on my MK7 R and would have killed for this fluid pump as I made a mess with my shitty generic pump. I was surprised at 55k miles my screen was pristine and I know it's never been cleaned before. I live in the WNC mountains and drive pretty spiritedly. I will definitely buy this tool for the next service as it is a very reasonable price from Shop DAP. I wasn't sure of the torque specs on the Haldex Pump and did 15Nm instead of 9.5Nm. It did feel a bit too tight at the time, would you recommend loosening/replacing the bolts or is that difference not too worrisome?
Should take around 750ml in total. No need to disconnect pump wiring. The pump can be removed with the plug still connected. I think the more you use the 4wd the cleaner the pump screen. Drive like a granny and your pump will be clogged. Drive like you stole it and it won’t be as bad. That syringe pump is some bit of kit
+1 on disconnecting the pump wiring. If you want to completely remove the pump from that area of the car, you'll need to remove the wiring, but otherwise you'll be able to clean the mesh with the wiring connected. -1 on the cleanliness of the pump screen. From a logical perspective that makes no sense at all. If you drive it like a granny, the clutches will rarely engage, and therefore will not dirty up the oil. If you drive it like you stole it and engage 4WD regularly, the wear of the clutches will dirty up the oil and clog the pump screen up more. One other note - if you're doing this on jackstands, you need to make sure the car is level, otherwise you may under- or over-fill the haldex system.
Matt H I never raced / tracked my car and the filter was blocked at around 15,000 miles. Have a look at Bryce’s video on his haldex service (th-cam.com/video/M5Jp9XnRx4g/w-d-xo.html). He races his car and his filter looked like mine after I cleaned it 😂
Just did this I’m not sure what I did wrong I now have a fault c111207 and my haldex won’t engage , anyone else run into this ? Note the top ground seemed to be no longer connected before removing the pump even
That should be fine. However you will need something like an OBDeleven to run the pump, so why not just read the built in sensor since you're already in there?
Drain plug 32Nm wtf.. its a bloody M10 bolt with fine threads. Ur gonna strip! I put fill bolt 12NM and drain 15NM. No problem whatsoever. The trick is the cut/break off the crush washer and replace with a new one. New washer won't lock onto the bolt but as long as outside diameter is about same as bolt head (16mm) and ur good. 15NM on drain bolt on my Haldex. Front and rear diff no leaks New crush washer is the key I get a pack of assorted copper washers as its hard to get those bolts with washer on it from dealer they often out stock and not very keen on ordering for you to make $2
So you don’t need to replace the pump o rings as part of the removal / filter clean process ? probably hard to buy them anyway given the whole process isn’t ‘necessary’
How many miles? I'm thinking my wife driven Alltrack totally stock that the pump removal/cleaning might be an every other haldex fluid change. Hitting 30k in the next few weeks.
Since I can't get these parts and fluid shipped to me for a reasonable cost, can I use Motul Gear 300 LS 75W90 for the Haldex differential? I really need to know since my service is overdue.
Omg can you please re-edit this vid or take it off. You didn’t show that you refilled the diff and some ppl might not know that. Fark that’s dangerous.

Thanks for video. Very helpful.
I seen other videos were priming the pump, using OBDeleven tool, after fluid change. What do you think about it ? Tx
Thanks for this video! Is this what the dealer will do if you brought your car in? Even taking off the pump to clean?
No chance. Dealer will drain and fill

Any one knows if the mk7.5 gti performance pack needs change the Haldex oil ? Or just 4 wheels drive ?

15Nm is fine, do not replace the bolts in case O-ring get cut
Did you end up making a differential service video? I see hex bolts on the differential and I assume that’s what I need to undo for drain/fill
Link to the Differential/gear fluid replacement/service video??

My pump wire has no slack. Its impossible for me to pull out the pump without disconnecting the wire and its a bitch getting that computer off
Easy peeezy. Thanks for the video
Can you show how to prime the system Witt the OBDeleven…. ? Mine keeps failing
Can I just remove the pump and clean the filter without change de oil? I did replace the oil last week...
is the necesarry to do Pump learn process, when you pull out pump, clean and put back >?
The dealer wanted $300 on a drain and fill only (no filter) for a ‘13 Tiguan. Got it done for $280 with the filter. Next one I can do myself.
cleaned mine, still no 4wd.. no fault codes.. im thinking to buy a second hand haldex including the pump.. what else could it be
Please do the 2018 traverse clutch fluid I believe it's pentosin chf11s
What volume of fluid is needed? And what do you do if the temp is too low. How do you get it up to temp?
Around 800 ml. They turn on the car and it warms up the oil.
Just did this I’m not sure what I did wrong I now have a fault c111207 and my haldex won’t engage , anyone else run into this ? Note the top ground seemed to be no longer connected before removing the pump even
Is there a app for the steering assist coding on obdeleven??
Can you just use a laser thermometer to check the temperature of the oil going in, and the temperature of the haldex?
That should be fine. However you will need something like an OBDeleven to run the pump, so why not just read the built in sensor since you're already in there?
Drain plug 32Nm wtf.. its a bloody M10 bolt with fine threads. Ur gonna strip! I put fill bolt 12NM and drain 15NM. No problem whatsoever.

Hi. Should you put in 850ml of haldex oil?
850ml if changing. They can take up to 1L if you replace the pump or filter. Haldex fluid can come in a 1L bottle.
hi, what software do you use to see the oil temperature of the haldex and gearbox oil?
OBDeleven
So you don’t need to replace the pump o rings as part of the removal / filter clean process ? probably hard to buy them anyway given the whole process isn’t ‘necessary’
FCP Euro includes it in their kit, at least for the Atlas.
Can you recommend a reputable Service Repair Manual for the A3 8v?
You could check ‘Bentley Publishing’ I remember they had amazingly detailed service manuals. I bought one for my 2006 2.0 FSI GTI
It is valid to audi A3 tdi to?
so youd say this is about the same procedure for an 08 mk5 r32. I asked the dealer about it and they said don't bother to any of it.. ridiculous
Should have white waste cloth to see the contaminants in that pump screen when you flush out with brake clean spray.
Is the VAQ service on a GTI similar?
Thanks man ✌🏻
Please do this for the Mk6 R!
How many miles? I'm thinking my wife driven Alltrack totally stock that the pump removal/cleaning might be an every other haldex fluid change. Hitting 30k in the next few weeks.
30K on our car
Jeez haha at 5:15 did the whole car move
How much fluid did this service take?
Just need 1 x 850ml bottle - although you will use around 750ml
how much does this haldex fluid cost ,,,
tom thompson Around £40 in the UK
top of the pump it has sepret filter, you should change as well
Wrong car that's gen 4
cool video
1:43 So, the haldex and diff use different oils ?
yes! Haldex fluid is different. Diff fluid is usually 75w90. Haldex fluid part number G055175A2
@@GForceConnections mk7 haldex fluid is g060175a2
Anyone know how to prime the haldex pump using the OBDeleven?
Did you ever figure it out ?
Is this the same for a 2018 S3?
Yes
Since I can't get these parts and fluid shipped to me for a reasonable cost, can I use Motul Gear 300 LS 75W90 for the Haldex differential? I really need to know since my service is overdue.
Hello can you help me I have vw golf 3 1.8 mono what engine should I swap it . The vr6 or the v5 from s3
All my local dealers keep giving me the price for an Oil Change… 😔
There is a filter!
Not on gen 5 haldex
Is38 GTI DIY! Please. Pretty please.
Omg can you please re-edit this vid or take it off. You didn’t show that you refilled the diff and some ppl might not know that. Fark that’s dangerous.
How much fluid did it end up taking? Getting conflicting info on capacity
davdruan it’s around a Liter but u fill it till it pours out then the level is ok
