The Haldex system is a crucial component in many all-wheel-drive (AWD) and four-wheel-drive (4WD / Quattro) vehicles, ensuring efficient power distribution between the front and rear wheels. It provides improved traction, stability, and performance, especially in challenging road conditions such as rain, snow, or off-road terrain.
Found in popular vehicles from Audi, Volkswagen, Skoda, SEAT, (and Volvo / Land Rover!), the Haldex system relies on a combination of sensors, an electronic control unit (ECU), and a hydraulic clutch to optimize drive performance. However, to keep it operating smoothly, regular servicing is essential.
Over time, the Haldex system’s oil becomes contaminated with debris and clutch wear particles, reducing its efficiency and causing potential drivetrain issues. Without regular servicing, you may experience:
✅ Reduced AWD performance
✅ Increased wear on drivetrain components
✅ Potential system failure leading to costly repairs
We recommend a Haldex oil change every 20,000–40,000 miles, depending on usage.
