Got it - cheers. Now to decide whether to pull it out or not

I dont see there is an issue.
What harm will taking the fuse out do ? Jules

No idea , but Bell engineering say it’s not advisable I believe

maybe I'll ask Austen Jules

Maybe I’ll give him a ring as well. Just been for a drive - juddering on full lock when cold, then ok when getting home after about 5 miles. Haldex casing and pump not getting hot to touch after this drive.

I’ve heard that a new Haldex is about £3000 ?

Have you read this?

Had a chat but difficult to diagnose over phone. Needs to see car. I’ll see how it goes. It only happens when cold and on full lock backwards and quick acceleration. Local lr Indy will have a quick look on Wednesday, but the usual modus operandi there is put new things on , rather than fix the old things. He said it sounds like It’s on its way out ! It’s been serviced by them before but don’t see how my other garage (non lr) can wreck it. I saw pictures of the screen and it wasn’t bad and he assured me he had used Haldex oil in it. He’s serviced quite a few over the years.

Trip to Austen it is then. Hopefully can get there . Local lr Indy says removing the fuse won’t do anything as the fault is mechanical ??

If removing the fuse doesnt change anything (ie fault goes away) then he may well be correct. Jules

Maybe. Booked into Bell for Haldex repair now

[quote="Bobupndown"]I had the same symptoms recently and serviced my haldex to find haldex oil level was very low. Cleaned pump screen, new filter and new oil. All good again. I'll check level of haldex oil in future in case it is leaking but never see any sign of an oil leak below it.[/quot

Hi Bobupanddown.
Can you tell me if it is possible to add more fluid to the Haldex without removing the unit from the vehicle? FL2 SD4 XS 2013 Orkney Grey

Of course it can.

That's the only way, unless you're taking the diff out at the same time. The front of the diff casing is also the rear half of the Haldex casing, so the two units need to be bolted together, or the Haldex oil fall on the floor.  2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Soon to be sold.
