Enhance Your Drive with Expert Haldex and Differential Servicing!
A Haldex service / differential service on a qualifying car involves maintaining the Haldex coupling system, which is crucial for the vehicle’s all-wheel-drive functionality. Here’s a breakdown of what it entails and why it’s important:
What is a Haldex Service, and how do Ecotune carry it out?
Oil Change: The old Haldex oil is drained and replaced with new, official VW Haldex oil. This oil is non-lubricative and ensures proper friction between the clutch plates.
Strainer Cleaning: The pump and strainer are removed, cleaned thoroughly to remove any grime and friction particles, and then reinstalled with new seals and bolts.
System Priming: The system is primed using the correct software to ensure it’s ready for optimal performance.
Why Should You Do It?
Prevent Blockages: Over time, friction particles can build up and block the strainer, leading to pump failure if not addressed.
Maintain Performance: Regular servicing ensures that the Haldex system operates efficiently, providing the benefits of both front-wheel drive (for fuel economy) and all-wheel drive (for better handling and performance in tough conditions)
Avoid Costly Repairs: Regular maintenance can save you from expensive repairs down the line by preventing complete pump failure.
Regular Haldex servicing is recommended every 10,000 miles / once a year at least on performance vehicles. Should you engage launch control or drive your car hardware than most - we recommend more frequent servicing.
Keeping up with this maintenance will ensure your car continues to perform at its best.
