I tend to keep my cars a long time and to do this successfully I'm fastidious about running on clean oil / fluids. Is there a recommended time / mileage to service the Haldex ? Any idea what it costs at a good indi ?

Hello Frank,


In 2017 I bought a 6 month old XC60 D5, and back then Had a look at the service intervals, the haldex as per Volvo was 40,000 miles before the first change was due. My car only had 4000 on it then. In my second year of ownership I decided to change the haldex oil when I serviced it, bought the kit from haldex repairs U.K.. cost around the £45 mark I think ?

I was shocked at how full of sludge the gauze was, oil was black and very dirty. The reading I did back then, Volvo did away wiTh a changeable filter and just kept the metal gauze as the only filtration. Bear in mind my car only had around 14000 miles on it, if that. And the oil was well past its best.

So the Volvo 40,000 miles seems like a great way to sell you a new pump & clutch at 40k when it gives up.

I did notice the second time I did the haldex service, the oil was much cleaner and almost nothing sat in the gauze. On that I left it the following year.

I own a XC70 D5 as well but haven’t needed to service that one yet as the pump was replaced recently, job looks a bit more than the XC60.

I'd like to do this on my 14 plate XC70, however only got two axle stands, does the car need to be level when filling?

Am I right in saying my late 2011 XC60 would be gen 4?

Phil,

Useful website: - https://www.haldexrepairs.co.uk/what...-is-on-my-car/

My '12 XC60 is Gen4 same as my '09 XC70, so yours should be also. As stated in previous posts, the prop needs to be dropped on a diesel to allow the haldex motor to be removed due not clearing the propshaft bearing. Too much for me on the driveway, so had my local mech. do it.

Had my XC70 filter and fluid changed at 170k and fluid was in great condition.

Can anyone confirm (or not) whether its OK to run the car round to warm up the oil, check the level first then if its OK Drain and replace with the same quantity of oil?

[dambat]

Yes, it is OK to do this. You can only get about 500 mL out of the fill hole though and you reset the level by the fill- 40 mL.

Note, having just done mine, the spec on the filler plug is 35 Nm, but mine stripped before that. I felt it start to go, stopped, and left it. If it leaks, it's box out so hoping for the best. It'll be box out next time I change, but that's a problem for a few years time (hopefully!).

Yes, I checked the torque wrench calibration afterwards.
