Hello - thanks for showing this. Q: Does this AWD Fluid change apply exactly to my 2018 Regal TourX AWD, I think also called Opel Insignia B, the 2nd generation model ? Also, I was about to do an AWD Fluid change but don't grasp what you mean by "Haldex" ? I'm aware of the small front differential "power transfer unit" + the Rear differential too. But a 3rd unit - ? - Haldex ?? On earlier model but does mine have this ? Major removal & dissembly reqd for fluid & filter renew ? My car has no leaks & nothing wrong but it's 6 years old @ 76,000 miles = Fluid change time. Thanks ahead for your kind advice ! David in Texas
Wow...I have a 2014 Buick Regal, which is essentially the same car underneath....After 5 winters here in NE Ohio, I can't imagine successfully dropping my exhaust. (Salt on the roads.) I'm hoping a fluid change and cleaning of the pump screen will suffice. Great video-not much info on this AWD system out there.
@@psalm2forliberty577 I had a shop do it. They told me the fluid was very dark and probably should have been done sooner. Anyway, that car is now someone else's problem.
hey man, great tutorial, i have an opel insignia opc 2.0 4x4 turbo and i get it has exactly the same issues, at opel they are charging me almost 2000euros for fixing the issues
This is what happens when car manufactures tells you that the oil don't need to be changed cause it will last for the warranty time, and then 2-3 years later they can sell you a brand new differential because they say it's worn out. Same stories goes for automatic transmissions in Volvo and VW/Audi.
@@nikolamma That's too bad. I bought an Insignia country tourer this week with 143 thousand on it. I will replace the oil and filter, also do a proper clean out.
NO NO NO you service, diff, haldex and transfer box these are all part of the 4x4 Start with the differential: and check level first by removing the fill plug This is IMPORTANT! Oil level should be at plug hole level, slowly starting to come out or can be seen in hole. If it is significantly low, this is sign of leak. BUT IF IT IS HIGH, comig out at large ammounte, this is sign that Haldex oil is comig through seal in rear differential. THIS IS SERIOUS! Immediately check Haldex oil level and if it is low see expert. Now move on to the Haldex and or do the front transfer box
@@martinhuusfelt1783 Appreciate this info ! Clarifying question: (I have USA model Buick Regal TourX AWD Wagon, 2018) Is "Haldex" a center differential ? I WAS aware & about to service what I 💭 thought was required: 1) Rear Differential 2) Front PTU - power transfer small differential (I should also add: my 8 speed Aisin Transmission) So help me understand what you mean by "Haldex" ? Car has 76,000 miles no apparent fluid leaks runs quiet but never serviced that I can tell. Appreciate your time ! David in Texas
@@rikdupond695 Okay, here in Sweden you have to pay 90.61 euro for haldex oil, filter and packing. My insignia has gone 15,000km and never had to do oil service before. So I expect it will go 15,000km again ..

Buick Regal = Opel Insignia = Saab 9-5 / 9-3 (Similar enough anyway), parts/chassis are very much shared, this is same as the Saab XWD.
Tankthousand thanks!!!
Did you ever do lube service your 2014 Regal AWD ?
Is yours same as my 2018 Buick Regal TourX AWD ?
Or earlier generation ?
Thanks - David in Texas

How did u reset the service warming? "Service awd" does it go off automaticly when changing filter?
Hello,
when you have done the service on the 4x4 and it works as it should, it no longer warns on the dashboard...
Sincerely

My Insignia 4x4 had problems with back differential it was totally broken and i changed it by Opel for fucking 2700€ and they said warranty ....
@@nikolamma You got it covered by warranty?
@@opelduude yes but i paid still 2700€

@@opelduude replace differential oil if you have 4x4
How did you refill the oil into the Haldex ?
with a syringe model large

Är bara bakaxel som behöver service?
eller de båda behöver service bak och fram axel?
Nä det är bak som är haldex och behöver service.. fram är det som en vanlig bil..
