Thank You. A drain/sump plug would have been nice. No idea why they don't have one.

Just a note to say thanks and that this was very helpful. We have a 2011 FL2 SD4 and it unfortunately has the collar around the tailshaft. Appreciated your trick of knocking a small bolt through the back to dislodge it as ours was well stuck. At 160,000km (100,000Mi) the internals were fairly clean with only a little sludge in the pump pickup. In my case I chose to split the whole haldex off the diff and replace the large o-ring between. Having done that it took the full two tubes of Ravenol oil to fill. And why on earth didn't they put a drain in the diff (yeah yeah - lifetime fill).

A really clear, concise and professional vid for the diy'er. thanks so much. Just about to tackle a replacement exchange diff and wondered if I would need to change the Haldex oil/filter as well? This was only serviced about a thousand miles ago. Would appreciate your advice.

@lifes.projects

Thank you very much! Glad you found it usefull. When replacing your Haldex you will need to fill with oil anyway as the shafts have been removed. I personally would do an oil and filter on the haldex too as when they have not been serviced for a while new oil acts as a cleaner so can get contaminated quickly. Better to be safe as you will know they dont come cheap!

Did mine last year dropped the rear box made things a lot easier didn’t have to remove the prop at the front ,still a pain in the ass to do ..

Thank you for this video. before that i drove a porsche cayenne, the underbody looked like new even though it was 18 years old. but your car looks really rusty from underneath. I hope mine doesn't look like this

Hi I recently Got my Range Rover Evoque Rear Differential Fluid Done, when I asked for haldex service they were confused. My question is if I did the Rear Differential oil change , but haven’t done the haldex but I’m planning do it, Will I need to do them together or I’m good. My car is 10 years old I’m planning to replace the unit the haldex pump since it’s probably needs a replacement as well. Also when should this replace every often?

Great video and very informative, can I ask what are the symptoms of an Haldex needing a service, is there anything obvious the Evoque will do or not do? My evoque has a problem when cold and the rear wheels seem to lock for a second or 2 when pulling away causing a bit of judder. Could this be related at all?

@lifes.projects

Yes that sounds like the the spring inside that engages the clutch plates is sticking. That is caused by a build up of sludge for lack of servicing. Cheapest thing you can do is service it like in the video (replacing the filter and cleaning the pump out) if it cures the problem then service it again after a few month as all the oil will do is clean out all the sludge and get contaminated.

how many litres of oil does the front differential take?

Hello friend, I have some doubts, it has two types of oil, each one is individual to the other, what types of oil does my Ranger Rover evoque have? It vibrates in the rear when turning and accelerating.

What fluid did you use? I'm having issues finding the brand I need.

@lifes.projects Fantastic video. Thank you so much. We bought our 2007 FL2 recently and discovered the rear diff had gone. It took me 15 hours to get the thing off (novice). I’ve fitted the Haldex to the diff, but can you tell me am I putting oil in two places please - the Haldex AND the diff? It’s a Gen 3 Haldex, I believe. Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Thank you. Yes the Diff is seperate and unforortunately dosent have a drain plug. If you have had the diff off I will assume its empty anyway. The filler is a 13mm bolt to the rear of the driveshaft on the nearside half way up the casing. The oil is 80w 90 GL5. Towards the end of the video I go over the diff quickly. Its not clear where I am pointing but it will give you an idea.

May I ask what method and solution did you use to clean the haldex casing inside while it was in situ with clutch packs etc still in? Did you just spray the orfices with parts cleaner and let dry before putting oil back in? Or just cleaned what you could externally reach? Thank you.

Brake cleaner and cloth arounf the filter and pump housing, let it drain and dry out before refillinh. Unless you are having problems to warrant a strip down then just a general clean and another oil change after 10k miles

Good video, but you should have shown more of the reassembly of the internals of the Haldex motor, as that suddenly popped back together, without showing what goes where and how to position the bits. Maybe some advice? Also, it looks like a gen. 4 Haldex? Kind regards
