by the way i drive a 2001 tt does anybody know how often you have to service the all wheel drive fluid ( the haladex fluid)???? i emailed haladex but no reply yet

 

Its Haldex and you change the fluid and filter every 20K miles. You can pick the fluid and the filter up at the dealer. Fluid comes in what looks like a caulk tube, and you'll either need a special tool to get it into the car, or a piece of rubber tube, and a plain old caulk gun. I like option 2.

It takes one full tube, so don't worry about keeping the car level when you're fillin it up.

 

Yeah i replied in the other thread (why did you make two?)

And said just what he did

 

i wanted a email alert so i wouldnt have to find the thread anyway thanks for the info

 

Is this common knowledge at Audi dealerships? I just had the 40k done on my TT and a specifically asked about the Haldex and I was told "that dosen't get changed unless there's a problem".

 

You trusted the dealer?

Yeah, they'll change it once theres a problem.... the problem that came from not changing it.

Tell them the problem is they're morons, see what they do then. ; )

 

Well.. I had the 40k done at the dealer because it's freakin' free

I found out it was done at the 40k the grease monkey I spoke to just apparantly didn't know what Haldex was. I found the part numbers for the haldex and the filter on the invoice, it just isn't called Haldex on the invoice.
