It's odd for 2010 car to have a gen 3 when gen 4 was fitted from 2009 MY onwards.
Having the wrong gen haldex will put a traction warning on the dash. |

No, there's no way to add car play or android auto to the factory system.
A simple and cheap USB bluetooth device that plugs into the AUX socket is all that can be done.

From memory, temperature compensation on the pre-BMS systems only takes effect when the ambient temperature is below 15°C, when battery performance starts to drop off.
I'll see if I can find the d ... |

| I'd be making sure that all the boost hoses are free from splits or leaks. Any loss of air will result in black smoke. The MAF is working, if it stops smoking with it disconnected, as the ECM reverts ... |
