| There's a weep hole between the diff and haldex seal. It's a special labyrinth seal with a void between the 2 components, which has a weep hole for leak identification. |

It's odd for 2010 car to have a gen 3 when gen 4 was fitted from 2009 MY onwards.

No, there's no way to add car play or android auto to the factory system.
