Angry Haldex rear drive service

Had my XC70 for 18 months its done 127k mls and has full Volvo service history up to 100k. Following "Anti Skid Service required" message, the Differential Electronic Module is currently with ECUTtesting, hopefully to be repaired.

More worryingly looking deeper into posts on the Haldex unit in this and other forums, the volvo service schedule (lacking any reference to the Haldex unit) and finding this suggested Haldex servicing interval "http://www.sjbautotech.co.uk/hampshirehaldexservicing.html" , I am quickly coming to the conclusion that no maintenance has ever been done on my Haldex unit. If fact there is a high probability that I have been driving with front wheel drive only for the last 18 months and been none the wiser.

Original oil and filter at 120kmls for an oil immersed multi plate clutch, that can't be right. How may defective Haldex unit AWD cars are out there on front wheel drive only.

Any views on the volvo service schedule or experience with servicing Haldex units ?
