Haldex Service DIY - Gen 5 - Golf R, Alltrack,TTS, TTRS, A3, S3, RS3, AWD MQB 

For those looking to do this - the vehicle has to be level so keep that in mind you'll have to have it on stands and level. I'm also wondering if after it's filled the car should be put in gear so the haldex actually engages. Just starting it isn't going to get the haldex going. OH and if you take the filter off, make note of its orientation it can go on wrong

Thank you for the helpful video!! I did this today on my 8v rs3, and it was really easy. I don't think the filter on mine has ever been taken out and cleaned before, but it's atleast nice and clean now! My local mechanic wanted over $200 to do this, but it only cost $20 to do it myself🙌

Hey, just wanted to thank you for this. We have a 2018 Tiguan MQB and the independent shop manual doesn't seem to be on AllDataDIY for it yet, so I was trying to figure out how to do this. Your video was super helpful. Thanks so much.

Why did I think a haldex service was more than a simple filter clean and fluid change lol. Thanks for the video! Doing this soon! :)

finally a nice video showing the importance of the Pump! Big luv from germany bro!

Great video Bryce. I’ll be doing this soon and this helps a lot!

Nice. I’m going to check my filter on my old Haldex 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much for this brother, giving it a go tonight

Thanks for the excellent video! I will do it in the future, but for now I'm not sure if do it myself or dealer. As I've got 1 year of free maintenance. I guess the 2015 RS3 8V needs this every 30k miles or so

I have an RS3 and i still have no clue on this part of the vehicle. Maybe cause i always been driving FWD and a 2022 supra, totally new to this platform.

Thanks for the vid bro!

Great instructional video(s) you do. Any info on torque settings? Regards Stephen

Great video man!!!

Wow, amazing how clean your filter was.

Awesome video man.. subscribed!

very informative, thanks. Just completed this service, had a little bit of fluid left in the bottle. Hope that's normal??

Bryce does this work with the 8j TTRS?

my mk7.5 R had a much dirtier screen at 30k, globs of black stuff. haven't really driven it that hard, i think it's from lots of winter driving

Nice work!

Thank you very much!

Merci mec tes le meilleur ;)

hei man! good vid, detialed perfectly! just on thing, so this covers the oil for the haldex, but i am wondering, does the diff it self run on the same oil or it has different oil plus fill and drain plugs?

All haldex oil gets sludge in it and it fowls filters, sticks to the walls and clogs the prefilter to the pump.

What's it mean if I been told there's metal shavings in the oil of haldex

Cheers buddy

Was doing this today and accidentaly drained via the wrong bolt. There is a bolt toward the bottom of the diff right above the RSB which looks identical to the fill hole bolt. Wonder why they have this in addition to the actual drain plug bolt.

So I watched your video and serviced my 2018 audi RS3. I now have a loud vibration/shutter at moderate to medium torque and never had that before. Used genuine audi fluid and followed your steps to the T. What is going on? I've had some guys tell me to use my obdeleven tool to turn on the pump motor, I've had others say to drive it around the block then top off, I've had others say to do other things to the awd system in obdelevn. I just really need some help.

Hi, Haldex Gen 5 is about all Automatic Gears with DSG7 right ? I own 2012 Audi Q3 Quattro DSG7 and I'm wondering if i have Gen 4 or Gen 5 ?

Is the haldex oil the same oil wich is used in diff or the haldex is just for pump and metal plates?

With the gen 5 do you not need to use vagcom to circulate the fluid? Or will running it be good enough?

Doesnt it need to be reset a couple of times after using VCDS for it to work properly?

Is it necessary to reset the haldex pump with vcds after fluid change? Have you had any issues with AWD since you didn't reset the pump?

My local VW dealer doesn't even have a part number for the filter. Would the filter portion of you video apply to a 2012 Golf R? Do you know where can you buy a new filter if one is needed? Just picked up my Golf (65,000 miles) and no record of this service being done. Is my Haldex system already toast? Thanks

Hello Bryce thanks for videl, one question. My Kodiaq already 67k km. Should i apply Haldex oil change ?

Did you replace any bolts or seals? I see kits that include all the drain/fill plugs and pump bolts/seals but I don't think that would be necessary unless you plan on stripping all of them lol

I got multiple questions hopefully you can patent me in the right direction.. Got me a 2015 S3 the lunch control has stopped working figure the haldex is gone to the dogs (how I know you may ask) front tire smoke the hell up when launching while the rear wheel just follows I’ve changed the fluid changed and the pump same result front tires smokes badly when doing launch control I live in the USVI there is no Audi dealership.. closest one is in Puerto Rico where as I have to ship the vehicle to a whole other island just to get a diagnosis which I already have a bright idea what the problem is I really don’t wanna waste money Call Audi dealerships at Florida and Puerto Rico both telling me car must come into shop for part to work because even though I install the hardware the software needs to be synced which I find is bogus So my questions are 1. Did you changed the haldex system yourself (without the dealership involved) 2. Is there any programming needed of the new haldex after mounting it for it to work (meaning going into Audi for them to put the car on a computer for the new part to be synced) or is it once you put in the hardware that’s it your good to go with new fluid of course I would really appreciate it if you can help me out buddy

So you only need to use a single bottle of the fluid?

"Pump Learn" procedure is not necessary to start ?

Mega job..

It's crazy that dealer shops charge $300 to ONLY drain and refill the fluid and to NOT even check the filter screen and clean if needed. I mean seriously it probably takes them like 20" to drain and refill? Are they using gold plated drain/fill bolts or something? You'd think it be preventive maintenance to always clean the screen when performing Haldex service. Unbelievable!

hello haldex oil G060175A2 is it compatible for audi rs3 400 2018?

Great video! I've concluded that my haldex pump has failed as i get massive amounts of wheelspin from the front whenever i put my foot down! Around about a $200 part to order in and do it myself. just a quick question, when you serviced your haldex, did you change out the other filter aswell (not the one screen on the pump) as this too can get glogged up with gunk?

How often does this need to be serviced on my 2015 A3. I'm at about 43k miles

Just did this today. I would not reccomend removing the haldex pump. My braided ground was so corroded it just crumbled. Also, there was almost nothing in the filter screen or housing. Not worth the time or money.

Is this same process on a 2008 Audi S3 thanks

Lol.. Autohobby shop for the win.

soooo uhhhh....you wanna do the dsg with me when its time? lol
