Ok thanks

Hi,

Did you get a diagnose on the haldex? I have lost (or never had?) Rear wheel drive and no faults on the dash. DTC codes read are 1889 and 0961 which are the same as you had.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Rommel,

How can I do "a hard reset" of the haldex? Just pulling the fuse won't do the trick I asume?

cheers,

Thanks, will give it a try.

Reset was not fixing the problem. During the previous repair about 6,000 kms ago (new pump installed) the haldex filter wasn't exchanged and the haldex wasn't properly cleaned/flushed. Result a fully worn out haldex. It is now fully reconditioned. During the previous repair the prop shaft wasn't installed properly. A broken connection bolt and a prop shaft joint sealed with kit required installation of a new prop shaft. Now all good but had to fork out a substantial load of money unfortunately....
