So VW tech just gave an update.
I dropped off some containers for oil analysis of both the diff and haldex.
VW tech said the diff was DRY, no fluid came out and he took pictures for me.
VW tech said haldex fluid was dirty, way beyond what should have happened within 1000 miles if it had been serviced correctly... he drained the haldex fluid and is saving it for me to pickup.
Oil analysis of the haldex should be interesting to say the least.
As I said & others have said..the mechanic fecked up!......
Too many people "think" they know what they are doing....the ERWIN manuals are freely available & so are the self study guides (all for a small fee)..& the VAG AWD Haldex system has been around for a few years now on the MK7...so any self respecting mechanic SHOULD know that there are two separate units with different oils & drain/fill plugs.
The evidence you are collecting is irrefutable proof that the service was not carried out correctly resulting in the self destruction of the unit...the mechanic SHOULD have insurance to cover his work when you claim for the cost of the new parts, labour to fit, the cost of the VW diagnostics, the oil analysis, & personal inconvenience..
