If you own a Volkswagen or another VAG group vehicle with all-wheel drive (4MOTION in VW terms), it's likely equipped with a Haldex coupling. This advanced technology is integral to your car's performance and safety, especially in slippery conditions. But like any complex mechanical system, regular servicing is key to keeping it in peak condition.
What is a Haldex coupling?
In simple terms, the Haldex coupling is a clutch system that intelligently distributes power between your vehicle's front and rear wheels. It reacts quickly to changing road conditions to provide optimal traction and safer handling.
Why service your Haldex system?
Prevents costly damage: The Haldex system contains oil and often a filter. Dirty oil and clogged filters can put extra stress on the pump and other components, leading to premature wear and potential failure.
Maintains performance: Clean oil and filtration ensure your Haldex coupling works as intended, giving you maximum all-weather confidence.
Protect your investment: Regular Haldex servicing can prevent expensive repairs and maintain the value of your vehicle.
How often should I service my Haldex?
We recommend that the Haldex should be serviced between 20-40 000 miles
Important Note: More frequent intervals may be necessary if your car has been modified for increased performance or sees heavy track use.
