I've been looking at Haldex info and thought this would be useful on this post.

The original one that I took off was a square profile and the replacement was round. I did check the thickness at the time and the replacement was slightly larger across the cross-section.

An O ring doesn't need to be in a groove to work, it just needs some space to prevent it from being crushed flat. It's correct to use an O ring in this installation, as the diff front face is rebated to accept the O ring without crushing it flat. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone. Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver. 1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project. |

Thanks all. I hope I don’t regret using the old one - fingers crossed. It looked and felt in reasonable shape. This pic shows a Volvo one with the same kind of seal. |

Anyone know where that info came from ? Haldex fluid not needing changing ! - pull the other one. Also how would you measure the 5mm difference when topping up - seems bonkers - hence the advised removal of fluid after topped up to the filler level. Jules |

Can't see the world ending if you have 5mm or whatever ml too much oil in the haldex. I fill mine until its dribbling out of the filler hole and put the plug back in. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

If memory serves you fill it up run the pump to get the fluid moving then top up again then remove I think it's 70ml or am I wrong |

I have mentioned this before - of the hundred of thousands of FL2 built how many have had their Haldex serviced? Outwith Bell and a couple of other garages it is difficult to find anyone who does it. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

Haldex units are used by other car manufacturers. Their mechanics are used to fluid and filter changes so there is no reason why they couldn’t do the same for our Haldex units. Regular fluid and filter changes will reduce the need for the strip down that happens because LR tell us that the Haldex is “sealed for life”!😡 |
