It needed new rear discs and pads but obviously a wear and tear item. I'm thinking of a Haldex fluid change soon as it's approaching 40k miles and possibly a gearbox service too.

I’m looking at getting my Haldex serviced. I’ll be getting my Autobox serviced every other year, keep it fresh. Modern motors are a slave to electronic and sensor failures. I’m having my spare set of Neso alloys painted into Hyper Silver, I hate diamond cuts

I'd like to do the Haldex myself but not a lot of info about for having the correct fluid level afterwards.

Are you Mr Smith?

oh yes you would be surprised how much fuel expands in very hot weather , if you full it at say 8C and the next day it's 35C you will have over a gallon extra in your tank .. probably more
Th gauge is purely a LEVEL indicator .

As you are here Mr Clan please can you provide any info on changing the Haldex fluid of the Gen5 unit fitted to a 2016 V60 XC? In particular setting the level of the fresh oil.

TIA

yes it's pretty simple , the plastic level plug is on the left hand side of the unit , make sure the car is level and use a large syringe to fill to the level of the hole in the casing until it runs out. When it starts dripping replace the plug ..
