This is my first DIY and i thought i would share it with yall. Enjoy
Im at 25K miles on my R32 and decided to change my Haldex Filter / Fluid now instead at 40K.
Its allot easier than i thought is was going to be and i have been putting it off for a while now but now it finally done.
Parts List
24mm Socket / Ratchet
8mm HEX Socket / Ratchet
Really small Wrench for clamp on hose
30 Torx Bit / Extension / Ratchet or u can use a 5mm Allen Key / Up to u
Haldex Fluid / Gallon Pump filler / 1/4" Brass Pipe and Clear Tube
New Haldex Filter / 24mm Seal
Ok Now that u have all ur parts and tools now u can get to work......
The First thing i did was change out the OLD filter with the NEW one. Here is a pic of how u get the old filter out with the socket / ratchet. After u get the it out then put in the new Filter and Seal. Pay attenion to how the filter comes out and how u put it back in. Don put in backwards or lose the spring.
Now u can take the Old Filler Plug out with the 30 torx bit / Ratchet. Here is a pic of the filler plug coming out. Leave this plug out while u drain the fluid out in the next step. The NEW plug will go in later.
Next u can start taking out the Drain Plug and dont for get to use a Bowl or pan to catch the fluid. I did not get a New Plug for the drain hole cuz i for got but it will be ok if u dont have one. Just put the old one back in after All the old fluid is out. Here is a pic of the Old Plug Before / after i took it out of the Drain hole.
Once All the Old fluid is out then u can put the New/Old Drain plug back in so u can start to fill it with the New Fluid. Here is a pic of the OLD nasty Fluid that was in my haldex. Man this stuff was Black and dirty. Im so glad i decided to change it today. I got about 3/4 of a litter or 750ml from draining
First screw the 1/4" pipe in the filler hole, just enough so it wont leak back out while pumping. Then take the holes with the clamp on it and push the clear hose onto the brass pipe. Once u get the hose on tight, then push the clamp on so that u can tighten it all up so u wont have any leaks while pumping. here a pic of that......
Now that the filler hole is tight and leak free, start to put on the gallon pump on the Haldex Fluid bottle. Start pumping away and it should fill rather fast and i put about 900ml in and let the rest leak back out while i put the NEW filler plug back on. When all the fiuid is in there take the Clear hose off the Brass pipe, dont for get to losen the clamp. take the brass out after the hose and then put in the New Filler Plug. Try not to let all the fluid fall out but just enough so that u have at Least 750ml. in the Haldex. Quick pic
NOW UR DONE!!!!!!!!!!:happyanim:
U just saved ur self $200 or more.:clap:
