Re: Possible Haldex Failure 2003 XC70

Picked up the car last night and tried to glean as much info as I could. Garage basically insinuated that they regularly get cars with failing haldex and from they're experience, fixing them, or replacing them seems to always result in finding ( causing?) other issues? In there opinion, its a luck o...

Re: Possible Haldex Failure 2003 XC70

Thanks for all the input! So the garage have disconnecting the haldex controller and pulled the prop shaft and I'll be picking it up this afternoon. Interestingly, they're saying that you can now hear the rear diff humming quite loudly whilst driving, and they think that that means it ( the diff) pr...

Re: Possible Haldex Failure 2003 XC70

Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated Garage is saying that vida is pointing them at the haldex being the problem and that they'll unplug the haldex and pull the prop shaft. They're suggesting sorting out the haldex is a bit of a pain, so I'm thinking that if the car is happy without the hald...

Re: Possible Haldex Failure 2003 XC70

Thats super useful, thanks. Definitely gives me yet more hope! Did you experience any grinding noises from around the haldex when you had this issue? I don't know how bad it is ( never noticed it whilst driving) but the garage gave the impression that it was definitely a substanial grinding noise! T...

Re: Possible Haldex Failure 2003 XC70

Thanks again for the advice. I definitely feel a bit less hopeless with the car now! Comments on the ABS definitely stand out to me as I did get an amber light and two messsages regarding ABS and "anit-skid" a few days before any of the other message and symptoms. I guess the best first st...

Re: Possible Haldex Failure 2003 XC70

Sounds like a really useful list of actions to try, thanks! Im pretty uneducated on the whole haldex system. Does simply removing the fuse completely dissable the system without interfering with the rest of the car? Sadly I didn't give it a go coasting in neutral, and I didnt actually get to do much...

Possible Haldex Failure 2003 XC70

Hi all, Long time lurker, first time poster. After some Troubling symptoms ( auto gearbox not shifting, speedo staying a 0) and a lot of messages, mostly to do with ABS/ brakes, and after reading, clearing, and re-reading codes to see if there was a clear culprit, I ended up getting the car towed to...
