After the CV joint out, the 24mm bolt. At this stage you will need to counter hold the Flange or use a impact gun. There is a seal between the Flange and the Haldex, keep it intact not to use a tool to pry the Flange.

You need to slacken front CV joint bolts, then the rest will come out.

Don't. Since you had the unit fully drained, fill it up, go for a ride, come back and check the level. You may need to top it up actually.

I given thoughts of purchasing the Snabb 3" High Flow Cat Downpipe. Is it a direct fit for the 2.5T? Did you have to plug one of the 2 upstream bungs? Is the downstream O2 sensor at an angle so it doesn't contact the driveshaft? I sent all those questions to SNAAB but haven't heard back. Being...

That's interesting info. The Audi guys love him, I have one on my A4, rebuilt with factory parts.

June, If that Wolf's head really is group 4/5 oil, then that is pretty cheap. That works out to $7.50 a quart which is pretty inexpensive if it really is group 4/5 oils with no group 3. The same weight oil from Redline on amazon is more than 2x that wolf's head price. But it does illustrate the wil...

DEM connectors are not soldered to the board, just plugged in mechanically. They don't take any abuse, yours may have lost electrical contact. https://a.d-cd.net/8iAAAgJs5uA-960.jpg Also DEM is not completely water/oil proof, that ruins electronics. I would split the DEM and tried to fix it: clean t...

A new connector can be found under the ref: Volvo, Seat 1J0 973 702 2-Pin
If you have the pin extractor it should be easy.
