The fun of breaking down

[lizzard-t]

A couple of hours to be safe

[grimliver]

lizzard-t finally gor the nut of the back, the dif only had 600ml of oil should have been 950ml correct?

[lizzard-t]

Yes that's correct.

[grimliver]

Might be why the service rear axle warning was comming up then, no chunks of metal in it but was some crud stuck to the magnet I think I'm finally making progress, I'm giving the gasket till Monday to cure before I fill it up I need a day off laying on the tarmac and the caliper isn't ready to collect till then, but the back wheels feel smoother to turn when both lifted of the ground,

[grimliver]

So took car on test drive all the strange sounds a have gone and car feels alot smoother, BUT! now it's complaining about something else please see the report is this meaning a new pump?
Or more oil? I filled it till it came back out the fill hole

Also my car has a auto bleed brakes in my computer how do i use it do I activate it going to each bleed nipple or do I just activate and leave it, the brake pedal is extremely squishy

Car said service rear axle
Service awd

[lizzard-t]

No braking system has an automatic brake bleeding system.you just bleed as we always have done.
The code fir the pump is probably due to low fluid level in the clutch pack .
Did you fill the haldex through the level plug?
If so the way to fill it is that there is a vent hose on top of the unit.get a syringe fill it with the correct fluid.
Connect it to the vet hose . take out the level plug and whilst pumping the fluid in through the vent hose keep filling till it trickles out the level plug hole.
Once done remove the syringe and re fit the level plug.
Check the level in the rear diff .
The reason why the slipping code is because the pump is trying to compress the clutches but there's not enough fluid.
Either that or the pump is not building enough pressure.

Thanks I filled the haldex via the fill hole untill it flowed back out the same hole was this the wrong way then?
Should I try adding more via the breather pipe?
I'm going to put a volt meter on the pump tomorrow and check the resistance, someone I think said should be 5 to 8 ohms

[lizzard-t]

Fill it only by the vent hole

[grimliver]

Ok so just to make sure I do this right, losen the fill hole and fill via the vent hole untill it dribbles out the fill hole?

[lizzard-t]

Correct

[grimliver]

Done it, 100ml more went in that way,
New caliper on rear, couldn't do a full bleed the front nipples were rusted solid and didn't want to snap them,

I just want to thank you all so much for holding my hand through this, I have never done so much to a car before and your help gave me the confidence to attempt it


This is the one I removed

[grimliver]

So just did a 8 mile test run which was longer then it took the messages to show up before did a scan an no errors and so far no noticeable leaks


Going to do 60 miles tomorrow

Fill hole,Dribbles and vent hole, Mr LT will be thinking of these!!!!

[grimliver]

40 miles into my drive cars smooth and up on power and then bam service awd

[grimliver]

How do i know what generation haldex I have?

Car runs perfect in sport mode but rear axle dragged in normal mode

Looking at sending the controller off for repair
