• Looking for a smarter way to manage your heating this winter? We’ve been testing the new Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 to see how quiet, accurate and easy it is to use around the home. Click here read our review.

My traction control light is on

The older generation 1,2,3 and 4 Haldex had replaceable filters but the generation 5 doesn’t.....it’s on the pump.
If the pump fails then no fault code will be necessarily thrown up so you don’t know if the 4wd system is working or not - until you go through a hedge. Ferkin brilliant, that one :(

I suppose they don't thinking they've designed it to be non service item.

They'll fix it on the next model
 
Hopefully a final update!
I sent the suspect module to haldexrepairs.co.uk and the boss man Matt phoned me within 3 hours to tell me that there was internal corrosion of the module which had destroyed an EPROM chip and also an oscillator. He sorted the fault and the module was back with me within 12 hours!
The cost all in was £160 :)
Fitted the module today, traction light is off and the 4wd system is operating again. Ive plastered the thing with silicone grease to keep it watertight.
Well happy!
If anyone needs advice or haldex repairs, this is the only guy to see.
If my local garage can sort the pump learning mode, courtesy of VCDS then its a pump gauze clean every 20k maximum for me.
John :)
