A very thorough video and no annoying music. What more could we ask for? Thank you.

I just did this on my 2012 XC60 T6 r-design. A couple helpful notes I can add here when removing the out filter housing and inner seal is that you can use a 3" 1/4 drive extension and it will clear the back of the prop shaft flange, giving you enough room to get a 1/4 drive ratchet on the extension with enough room to use the ratchet itself. Also when you remove the outer filter housing, instead of heating a pick to push the through the inner plastic sealing ring, the sealing ring itself has a mounting nub that sticks out that goes into the outer housing peice. That little nub has a opening through its center that you can slide a flat end screwdriver into to pry out that plastic seal, or loop a hooked pick through it and pull it out.

Thanks for your useful and easy to follow videos on the mysteries of Volvo AWD. I will be trying it out on my immaculate 2002 V70 later today.

This is an incredible video! Excellent job about including all details! I appreciate it!

Thanks for this video. I followed your cleaning advice of my Haldex motor and revived the pump. Much appreciated.

Great video, many thanks. All I would add is to make sure that you can undo the filler bolt before you drain the system.

Thank you for sharing this video. New to VOLVO brand but enjoy wrenching on my cars. This video content is excellent- clear, concise, shares all important details. Amazing! Thanks for helping fellow Volvo owners out with this content!!

For the generation 3 haldex, take note: we did a filter and oil change on our xc70 volvo Gen 3 this weekend, YOU CAN DO IT ALL WITHOUT DROPPING THE PROPSHAFT OR EXHAUST. Cut down an allen key to take the filter cover off, put 12v across the pump connection to pump out the old fluid, black wire is negative, refill, pump a little to prime the pump, put new filter in, job done. takes a couple of hours tops. Nothing needs removing except the filter cover.

I tried this today and failed to get the filter out... Unfortunately I did not have an allen key to cut down. I had 4mm allen bits and a couple of very low profile ways to turn it, but I didn't have enough room for the "swing" to work the top bolt loose. If I had a 1/4" socket on a universal joint at the end of an extension I may have been able to turn the bit on there, but I did not. I settled for doing a couple of drain and fills using a fluid syringe through the fill plug, and running the motor in both directions to try and agitate and backflush as much as possible. My AWD is working again, so we'll see how long it holds up and we can try again next time... Thanks for the idea, and running the pump at least gave me a decent compromise.

@@daddygrasshopper as you've found out, there is hardly ANY clearance, a cut down key and nimble fingers will do it, but I really doubt you'll get any kind of socket in there. But you are probably right, changing fluid even without changing filter will help - our filter was very clean when we removed it, just a smear of residue.

Excellent method, work, explanation, filming, total. Thank you very much and congratulations for your professionalism

Great video. Very detailed. Thanks for filling the gaps where things were not visible. I feel more confident to tackle this job now.

Well done. Thorough and to the point in both filming and explanation.. This is how all tutorial videos should be.

Followed this tutorial for my 2010 xc90 as the AWD was disabled. Now it's working and driving perfectly. Thanks very much👍

Excellent video. Thanks very much. I have a 2018 Ford Kuga AWD with the same Gen4 Haldex design (inc. The same appalling design where the filter is nearly inaccessible, and the prop shaft gets in the way of removing the pump 🤬. I'm pretty sure Ford want it to fail, just after the 3 year/ 60k mile warranty is out😡

Awesome tutorial video! It is absolutely true that some of the dealers tell the users that this procedure is not in the service plan or is not needed (“lifetime”) in order to reduce the three or five years’ service plan costs, but as a result the reputation and trust in the AWD models has shaken and a lot of secondhand Volvo owners are scared to purchase AWD models due its probability to fail. In my case S60 2.5T AWD (2006) triggered error message "DSTC Service Required" after six years (~200000 km). Official service first mistakenly recommended replacing the control unit and then the whole Haldex for insane costs. So we did a bit of investigation here with my local Volvo service. It took a while because VIDA does not guide you directly to the root of the problem. There are many subsequent codes fired as a result of this AWD failure. DEM 0006 (Haldex pump) a DEM 0007 (pressure sensor), and also BCM-0094 Communication between control units, BCM-0115 Communication between control modules, Signal missing , BCM-0148 Communication between control modules. From driver’s perspective the car behaved OK for around 30 sec after each start-up, until the error message shut down AWD and DSTC. I had to restart the engine ~30 times to get out of the snowy road in Austrian Alps, which was impossible without AWD and traction control. Long story short, it was the pump that said good bye and the oil looked horrible. So I fully recommend to replace that fluid on regular basis. As an extra step I ordered DEM cover from IPD to protect the unit from heat and slush.

Great video. Just need to mention that the extraction of the 40ml at the end depends on the length of tube you have on the syringe.

@@diypapie8428 In your example, one is weight, and the other is volume. You're comparing apples to oranges. 40ml measured in a syringe with no hose on it versus a syringe with a hose of, say, 1ft connected... even though 40ml is indicated on the syringe in both cases, the one with the hose will have extracted more volume from the Haldex unit. The only way to be sure how much you're extracting is accurate is to measure the volume of the section of hose you're using, and deduct that figure from the amount you wish to extract. Then, extract that adjusted amount using the graduations on the side of the syringe. So, say the hose's internal volume is 8ml. You'd extract fluid until the syringe indicated 32ml, because 40 - 8 = 32. If you were to ignore this simple math and erroneously assume, as you have above, that "40ml stays 40ml" in either case, then you'd actually be extracting 48ml. This is exactly what the person you're replying to warned about.

Thanks for this excellent video. Couple points to add from my 2011 XC90: 1). I was able to do this without removing the DEM. 2) The pump did not want to come free. I had to bonk it with a big hammer against the end of a screwdriver. 3) Your tip of using a torch to heat a pick is gold! That said, I needed to pry out the seal with something pretty meaty (A T10 torx wrench). It was stuck fast in mine! 4) At 150K miles, it's probably well worth replacing the pump. Brushes were pretty well worn in mine. 5) GET YOURSELF SOME ESCO JACK STANDS!!! You are one of my favorite people on KZread. Wood on saddle jacks is super dangerous. Thanks again!!

@john jay I just picked up a 323Ci for just about free because ALL the 3 -series BMWs are defective in that instead of bolting the rear end subframe to the outside chassis rails, they bolt it to the bottom floor pan. Eventually every single one has its driver's rear and passenger front mounts rip from the car. And then there is the other nightmare job of changing out pcv valve and hose assembly. The absolutely worst engineering I have ever seen. And BMW takes no responsibility for this manufacturing defect. Fortunately there is a kit ($800.00) that can be bought aftermarket to repair this problem, no thanks to BMW.

Good video! i dont have haldex issues but loved to watched it.

Brilliant, certainly the best informative video one could ever get on this operation. ***********

Fantastic video! I have an gen 4 system in my A3 and cannot find anything on gen 4 servicing anywhere and think your vid maybe 1 of a kind in its depth and detail. The really annoying thing for me is that Audi think that tiny filter is "for life" and doesn't need changing. When I call parts department the filter is "not available for my car" or so they say. I know I have gen 4 as the coding is an OBR variant which as per Haldex refers to the Gen 4 modle. This will help massively. Also great idea taking pump out to clean. My pump failed (under warrenty thankfully) so want to keep the new one in tip top shape! Thanks once again. Great vid, well explained from start to finish. :)

Good luck. I have an 09 s80 t6 awd and I have some mad grinding noise that I can't figure out in the front passenger and its happening when accelerating hard or deceleration and even if I rev the motor in neutral. I've went 10,000 miles since it started and had it in and out of 3 different volvo dealerships and they claim to not know the issue. I've done motor mounts, torque mount, bearings, and but I always replace every suspension part on my cars because I had a 97 corolla and the wheels fell off 3 times and it was always something stupid like a bushing, the fact they only have 1 ball joint on each front and I didn't know my tie rod was going to randomly snap moving under 15km/h or 5mph around that. 😢 But when the parts broke I could properly get it pulled over in time and not be holding up traffic.

Good Morning Volvosweden and Volvo owner, I did work on Haldex. My car is a Volvo XC 70 08.2008 D5244T4 I started the procedure as described in your very good detailed video. But I recognized, that the Haldex of my car (see above is a little bit older) is different: I could not take away the oil pump! The housing was very close to the propshaft. Similar to your video from a video with Haldex 3. But on the other hand, my Haldex has although the filter up as the Haldex 4 in your description. I changed the filter and sucked out 450 ml oil and I didn’t lose quite no oil. I filled in 450 ml of new oil. I thought to have again the correct oil level, it must be logic, having lost quite no oil. But never the last, concerning your description, I turned around with the car. I leveled the car in plain position. My idea was, that I would have only to fill up about 40 ml, to come to the fill up level, when oil sucks out! But it was 105 ml to come to the level! Taking away the 40 ml there remains a difference of 65 ml! The question now: is the correct level by my Haldex a different level to the discribed from yours? Have I now to much oil in the Haldex? I can t imagine, that oil is "disapiered" in time. What may be the solution? I hope you understand my question. You have an idea? I would please you to inform me how is to adjust the correct level. Thank you, Birger from Germany
