Great video! It´ll save me a lot of time now when I know how to do it. Thanks a lot, mate! 👍

Thank you for taking the time making this movie. Currently watching this while my apparently front wheel Tiguan is stuck in the drive way. :)

Just came to say thanks. I replaced the filter with a "kit" as my 2010 Tiguan had developed a leak from the filter housing cap. This was due to corrosion creeping in and upto the ring seals, I cleaned as best I could and fitted new filter then sealed the new cap in place and it's good as gold. The old filter was tough to get out because of the alloy corrosion, the new one slipped in fairly easy with a little grease on the o rings. Thanks a bunch for the video, my mechanic said it wasn't a serviceable part 🤔. It took me 2 hours from entering the workshop do tidied up. Working off axle stands. My oil was slightly green in colour but I think it has been changed at some point. Car has done 120k.

Just did this on 2011 Audi TT convertible. Wonderful video saved me a lot. Lots of extra reinforcements on the convertible. Swore the entire time but completed

Thanks for making this video... doing mine today.

Cheers for the vid! Will be doing it on my Skoda Yeti on Monday.

Great video and brilliantly explained. Thanks very much

Cheers! Great and informative video, helped me out a lot

Great walk thru. I'm doing mine later today. 60k service is due. Dealer apparently serviced it at 30k under the free services but I doubt they did the filter, or checked the pump screen. No dealer in my area had the filter in stock. Big surprise when you pay $150 for a service and all they do is drain and fill. The quickest way to pop that filter out is to just turn the key on and pressure should pop it out. Another good tip for you is while you are there drain and fill both the front and rear differentials. At 40k mine looked nasty. I used a good Bel-Rey synthetic differential fluid so I'll have a peak in 20k when the 80k is due.

Thank you!! Great video.

Doing this on my golf 6 R tomorrow thanks for the tips

Thanks for posting this vid! Well worth changing the filter when you change the oil. Vw don't recognise that this is a changeable part of the haldex. VW Parts Dept looked ant me stupid when I asked for it !! Although I have VCDS - you don't need it to pop the filter out as in this vid. The pump runs constantly when the vehicle is running. Simply start the car for a few seconds and the pump will run and pressurise the filter and help to move it out. Don't leave the vehicle running though because it will quickly empty the oil out of the system. Gently rotation and pulling action with pliers will then allow the unit to be removed.Change filter if you can because mine was well glogged up at 60k miles even though I had changed the oil at 40K.

Just did this on my parents’ ‘09 Tig. Save yourselves the expense of Vagcom and strain of trying to pry the filter out; instead (after breaking free the fill and drain plugs, in that order), remove the bolts that hold the filter in the unit and start the car, and watch the filter pop right out. Let the engine run the pump instead of Vagcom. I had my dad start it while I watched. Then simply remove the white plastic “head” and black filter with bent needle nose pliers, as seen. Please please please don’t aggravate yourselves with driving a screw into the unit or wrestling with pliers to remove!

great video...really good job...

Excellent tuto clair et précis bravo

Спасибо, чёткий обзор!👍

Thanks for the walk through. I just did this, using your instructions, on my 2012 Tiguan. The filter bolts were a pain to get back in and torqued down but it’s done. Better than paying $250 to the dealership to do and they would only change the fluid!!!

Nice video thanks for making this for Gen4 Haldex / Tig owners. or to be owners. I have an intermittent problem with my Gen4 haldex. Sometimes it'll store a DTC code which will de-activate the use of rear wheel drive, and sometimes its fine on the first start up. To correct, sometimes it requires a 2nd start of the engine. I clear the code and it comes back occasionally. On OBDeleven it states: Haldex Clutch Control Valve - Mechanical Malfunction - DTC 02248. Not sure if its pump or ecu related, and would hate to start throwing money at the wrong parts to fix it. 185k kms, and haldex oil changed done at 160k kms with a suspicion its never had a haldex service done before that according to service history book. I hear corrosion can mess the ECU's up, but the weather where I am doesn't snow, so I don't think this could be it. Would love to hear if anyone else had the same experience.

Thanks for the video. Just did this on my 2012 Tiguan SE 4motion. Couldn’t get the filter cap to come off (let alone fight to get the plastic filter out) so just did the fluid change. Car has 65K miles and fluid came out very dark

useful video, thanks

Thanks brother

I have a MK4 VW R32. And of course it’s equipped with Gen 1 Haldex system, the filter for mine is a screw on type with a unique special tool to get at it. Great job and explanation 👍🏼

BRAVO!

After the fill you need vcds again to activate the pump and purge any air from the system then brim the fluid again.

Had to replace faulty haldex 4 oil pump on my VW Tiguan 2012. After the oil and filter change (new one) the new filter keep leaking. Then I bought a new one and the filter keep leaking again even more. I tried a special seal paste but with no success. Any advice. Thanks

Great video. How did you finally get the filter back into the housing? I've heard that it is next to impossible. It would be a real bummer to get the old one out only to find that a new one cannot be fitted! Can you confirm that starting the car will activate the pump and push the filter out? Thanks.

Hey ! Thank you for the video. When you put the new filter, do you have to « discharge the pump the other way to put it back ? » or you use the vagcom only when taking off the old filter ?

Question: Haldex is the manufacturer of the filter. Is that particular filter for the gear box?

I've had a few people tell me that you need vagcom to prime the filter when you change it. Did you check the fluid level after you went out and drove around? Just wondering how much fluid stays in the filter.

Shouldn't you start the car and allow the haldex pump to fill the filter and prime the system after refilling with oil, and then refill until it over flows as the level will have dropped? Thanks

So the front differential, rear differential and the haldex are 3 separate units? Also, I’ve heard the front differential is built into the transmission. Does that mean that if you get a transmission service done that the differential gets serviced as well? Also, if the haldex and rear differential are different, does that mean they both need separate servicing done? Such as the haldex needs its own fluid change and the rear differential does as well?

Hi! Nice video. What is the risk if you disengage the pump from the vcds software or just unplug it's pins? I just want the option to switch between 2wd and 4wd whenever I want. Will the haldex still engage then if the pump is off? Is that a bad ideea? Thanks!

hi great video, is it correct that you should use vcds or other program to check the temperature of the haldex oil for correct level. if so does anyone no what the temperature should be? Thanks

Please, which is the capacity of the tank ( deposit, reservoir )? The bottle has 850 ml. Which is the name of the tool to include the oil ? I have a 2015 tiguan.

how can I find the generation of my Haldex system? I have 2017 tig 4motion (Tiguan limited)

Got a question can one use a haldex oil pump from another car brand e.g haldex oil pump from a Golf 6 R into a Volvo S60 T6 year models 2012?

i have a 2014 Tiguan 4 motion, at what miles should the Haldex oil/filter be changed? Different websites say different things, some say 40k others say 50 or 60k!

I like verry much finding out what is the inside of the filter. Now you now howe nessery a oilchange is.Greetings from Hungary

I feel screwed by vw in this.ive looked had vw run vin.had an Independent shop check.my 2012 has no filter.anyone else with this?I just cleaned pump screen and new fluid.but definitely no filter.

QUESTION! Once the new filter was put in, did you prime it with haldex oil? or did you just put it in dry and have the system automatically fill it up with oil?

If you replace only the pump, you need vagcom software ?

How much fluid did you fill it with? I did my mk6 golf r tonight and I could only get about 200 ml of fluid in there

Do i need to clean pump screen when changing filter? I have gen 4

i have same differential and haldex clutch on skoda yeti 2.0 TDI, and same. so it is only one type of oil and one filter for whole differential, or diff have own oil 75W90? somewhere i see 2 type of oils, one for haldex clutch, 250ml and 75w90 for differential.0.8 litre. this video shows only changing haldex clutch oil and filter, no differential oil?

CAN YOU DO THIS WORK WITHOUT THE VCDS?

Would turn on the car activate the pump and therefore push the filter out? Or you absolutely need that program to activate the pump? Great video thank you

Thanks for the video. My 2013 Tiguan 4Motion recently went in for a haldex service and a few other jobs and it's since been locking the rear diff when pulling away from standing, but only when the steering whele is turned. It's a similar feeling to thinking the electronic parking brake is sstill applied. There's no power and you can feel the resistance in the drive train. I've looked at my rear wheels and they are locked when this happens. When pulling away in a straight line it's fine. Any ideas what may be causing it to lock? Do you think the haldex service I paid for was just a fluid change and they didn't change the filter? Many thanks.

Kannst du mir verraten mit wieviel NM du die ablassschraube und die auffüllschraube angezogen hast?

Is this the same Haldex unit found on a 2015 Tiguan? Having an issue where no power is going to the rear wheels

Has the same procedure the front differential with Dsg?

Great video although I thought you might have just cleaned any dust and crap off before undoing the filter bolts.

А как же сеточка на насосе? Почему не почистили?

Is replacing the oil/filter on haldex different from servicing the oil of the rear differential?

Is this same oil and filter for my Audi Q3 2012 Quattro 2.0 TDI ? Please let me know?

Hey. I'm really confused. Where is this haldex located. I'm having both dealerships and vw specialty mechanics say this isnt on north american tiguans. Is this located next to the rear differential? Or is this on the transmission? Would really like some assistance

@sbcncsu did you have any issues with the haldex, like any fault codes in awd system or it was just your thought that the filter and oil in haldex needs to be changed to ensure a longer life of the system? I am asking because few days ago a fault in awd module came on saying: “00448 haldex clutch pump (v181) 002 - lower limit exceeded” i have deleted it, but after another 10-15 miles i decided to check it again with vcds and the same fault was there again. I wonder if it is because of lack of the fluid in the system or is it because the filter might be already cloged? Any thoughts? I have ~39k miles on the dash.

Wenn man den neuen filter einsetzt. Muss man was beachten? Erst filter rein dann den rest. Oder in einen da rein

Why you activated the pump via VAG com ? i'ts mandatory to release the filter ?

Just got a pre-owned tiguan 2012 at 70,000 km mileage. Noticed an error on the Haldex clutch pump being unreadable. Could this be just filter issue or the pump is dead? I'm from Zimbabwe where replacement parts are hard to come buy, so I need the info so I can order online if necessary.

Buongiorno come va cambiato? in base a KM o ogni 3 ANI, grazie.

Good evening how to change fluid box speed audi q5 tdi 177 hp four thank you

does it the same on 2009 tiguan 4Motion?

Why so you need new drain plugs? You can use the same old ones?

2012 Tiguan Haldex folyadék és szűrő

Is that a gen3 haldex ?

This black filter have a check valve inside?

Is this a gen4?.

How much oil is needed, thanks

dont need to operate pump, remove cover, and simply insert a screw into end of filter grab it with pliers pull and remove,

I think my tiguan 2013 have gen 3, the filter is in the side not in top

I think they think that the filter is a screen because in some transmissions all the would be is a screen. My 09G has a screen. Later years though had a real paper filter and maybe even redesigned valve body. I think that was 2015 and up for the 09G. I wonder if they did that to try to fix problems that previous 09Gs have suffered from. I for one do not believe that a simple screen can keep the fluid clean enough for the tight tolerances of a valve body. Coincidentally the valve body is what wears out on the 09G and causes shifting problems. I would think that some very fine particles are making it through the screen and causing the valve body bores to wear very prematurely and cause problems like gear hunting and slipping. It is a shame that they designed such an awful transmission. If the thing would just shift right they would be some of the best cars. It seems to me they just had to ruin things one way or another.

My Haldex pump is broken so I can’t push out the filter via activating the pump. Is it possible to just take out the filter without activating the pump? I want to change everything (oil, filter, pump, bolts)

Salve scusa, ma senza VCDS filtro si puo cambiare?grazie.

Top hatte 2 jahre alles mit ser. Vertag von vw . Die nur öl geweckzelt nie filter . Nun wolte ich selber machen und hatte lieber selber machen sollen.
