Hi found this video on you tube which is for the Evoque. Would the process be the same for the FL2 2009?

If Gen 3 no, if Gen 4 possibly but I soon gave up with no ramp and asked Bell to do it.

just found this and thought it might give a benchmark when looking at certain repair prices.

I have absolutely NO affiliation with this company. If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Good Link Jules as you say it gives an idea of what to expect.
Or how much you save doing D.I.Y Fix it until it's broke !

Is the video correct regarding haldex oil refilling? I thought you had to take some back out once it had been filled to the filler hole level. Jules

Jules, that was also my understanding. The video also makes pump removal look an awful lot easier than any other links i’ve seen to this! But then, you don’t actually see him removing it! 2005 D3 2.7 Auto

I should have added this at my previous posting, mind you its a Ewok so do we care ?  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

As the videos are not specific to our vehicles I would say to ignore. Only real way to know is have a go and see what happens. If it is straight forward I will make my own video as it will be the first for the FL2 out there I believe.

Yes, you do. In the video he just fills it to the maximum level and wonders why it took so much! From memory, you fill it to the top, leave the ignition on for 5 mins (or take it for a drive), refill again to the level then draw off 180ml (I think - check the exact amount before doing this).

Edit. I was almost right! Fill it up, leave ignition on for 5 mins, switch off, refill, then withdraw 70ml. My Evoque is at 44,000 miles so I think I’ll do that fairly soon. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

get Bell to do it
it is a royal PITA to get the pump back in

do able
(I did it)

but hindsight I would drive to Bell and get it done

Oh, I have an idea about that. When I get round to it, if it works, I’ll post some pictures.  Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Note to myself I still need to get this job done asap

I would have thought if the pump and filter is cleaned / replaced, why not do a proper job and clean the whole thing out.

Depends what you mean by clean 'the whole thing' out:

Pump - Whatever you do, I recommend you don't remove the third screw on the pump face. I did because i wanted to clean the pump's moving parts. There are a set of timy pistons, plates and springs under there and it took me 2 attempts to put them back in the correct order. Also, there was no gunk under there anyway as the filter screen had done its job.

Clutch pack - Although there is a video on Youtube of a Russian guy swilling out the Haldex with a solvent, and splitting the clutch pack, I was advised against this by Austen at Bell. I follwed his advice and blew out the clutch pack with an airline via the holes in the case. FL2 HSE Auto Galway Green
