I drove 3 1/2 hours over (and back) to Bell Engineering to have the diff replaced and Haldex serviced. £812 or just a wee bit more than a years road tax!
Austen and his team have a happy set up. H ... |

In fact, us in the i6 community, sorry, exclusive community, have a pretty good record of keeping our FL2s on the road.
I have records of 190 i6s still knocking around from the 564 sold in the UK. ... |

Thanks, Paul.
But sorry, I am unable to drive that slowly! (See other cars!)
I am not so focused on mileage that I need to keep the revs down to that extent. Just remarking on what I see on a lo ... |

My i6 is due to go into Bell Engineering next month to have the diff replaced and Haldex serviced. A few hundred spondulix there.

but my question is should it be done or left well alone?
I suppose if I was not keeping the car for very long or didnt mind paying for a possibly avoidable big expense then I'd not bother.

I made a note of this general info on Haldex III a couple of years ago. The first gen FL2s had the III.

Ian, I have 145k miles on my i6 (which as we all know is the most reliable version of the FL2  ) and not had the Haldex serviced. Neither have I had any driveline failures.
There, now I've jinx ... |

My FL2 i6 has an Alpaca & Tundra interior. It is unusual in that not many seem to have been ordered when the FL2 first came out and certainly very few i6s.
