You crack me up!!! "As soon as I got a proper tool in there it just broke loose like a... Well not a baby's butt but..." Another great video!

[@LastHumansGarage]

thanks bro, i do have an Irish sense of humor. cuz im Irish.

[@GTI_CHHA]

@@LastHumansGarage True colors (Cindy Lauper) shining through...

[@Azspeedin]

Mark, hate to say it but it looked like there was a pretty good exhaust leak on your exhaust clamp where the resonator delete meets the cat-back. Although could just be condensation leaking out.

[@LastHumansGarage]

Didn’t I talk about that or did I edit that clip out?

[@LastHumansGarage]

dude, i think ill start by moving the clamp further rearward, and do a careful retourque

[@Azspeedin]

👍

[@fadeds3842]

Dig your videos man. You've inspired me to tackle some of my own maintenance 👍

[@LastHumansGarage]

Glad to hear it!

[@timbrown9731]

I’m a big advocate on fluid changes

[@LastHumansGarage]

same

[@estebanquintana7263]

I'm glad u didn't have to remove the harness.

[@LastHumansGarage]

dude, i wanted to conquer it but its pretty damn hard to get to..

[@DandyNun]

Glad to hear someone else’s pump made a lot of noise spinning up. It’s a bit unsettling if you don’t know that is how it’s going to sound. Thought I’d broken mine 😂

[@LastHumansGarage]

bro, i appreciate your honesty. when i heard mine, i thought it was destroyed. and this morning, the car is running INSANE...

[@DandyNun]

@@LastHumansGarage Yeah. Mine sounded like it was spinning with no fluid in it. IIRC- when I asked the guys I got the service items from, they said the pump is spinning up to find the correct pressure. I guess that’s easier to achieve with clean fluid and filter. So maybe it overshoots on the first go, as that’s what the car learned prior to the service. Sure makes a difference getting all that gunk out of the filter and setting everything up fresh though 🚀

[@LastHumansGarage]

@@DandyNun yes… exactly. Sounded like no fluid.

[@GTI_CHHA]

That color difference is off the scale bro, am really surprised that the oil got this dirty in barely 10,000 miles. Good call to have serviced it this early. I should have done it much earlier too on my VAQ, which is not that different from the Haldex, just different lay-out. Anyway, we learn every week. The ultimate test is now to do another LC and video it with your Go-pro in a parking lot or something. Just 1 LC would suffice, maybe video it on a higher frame-rate, so that you can make a nice slow-mo out of it. I am sure it would get a ton of views :-)

[@LastHumansGarage]

going down my older comments replying to stuff i missed.. i do plan to do a launch someday in slo mo to check the rear wheels again.. but i am not nearly as gung-ho as BJP, im getting older after all. So BJP will be making a lot more videos than me, I'm not in a hurry at this point in my life.

[@GTI_CHHA]

@@LastHumansGarage That's all good bro, no rush or pressure, we leave that for them young dudes..

[@JoelVroom]

Great video! What if, instead of driving the car before topping up the fluid, you just ran the Haldex pump via the VCDS tool? That would serve the same purpose, no?

[@LastHumansGarage]

Well, I suppose. But the drive way more to build heat, not circulate pump passages.

[@DandyNun]

If you have the temp, then you can just switch on the ignition and you will hear the pump prime. IIRC- No need to start it. You can then get in ~100ml more fluid👍🏻 The full bottle gives you just enough to rinse anything left in the drain, then fill, prime and top-up. Good to do the pump learn after you service it too, often doesn’t get done.

[@DandyNun]

Nice run through here - www.haldexrepairs.co.uk/generation-5-haldex-fault-finding-repair-guide/

[@BryceJordanProductions]

oof that fluid! glad you changed it!!

[@LastHumansGarage]

def dirtier than i expected

[@steveo8424]

Yes!

[@LastHumansGarage]

Daniel Bryan?

[@sunilraj7692]

Nice video. Worth opening up to clean the screen which is the main reason for pump failure. Standard stealership service doesn't include this job. Don't know if you noticed a black soot trail behind the exhaust clamp. Maybe a leak? Had a look again, what is that black stuff? Ha u noticed it!

[@LastHumansGarage]

Dealer don’t even do that much?? Dang!

[@estebanquintana7263]

i heard that as well. i was quoted 400$ for the service. doubt they will even check the pump. don't trust them.

[@GTI_CHHA]

Bro, in case you hadn't heard.. The Bryce man just invited you to make a S3 vs S3 dyno video. Would love to see that! Sounds like an offer you couldn't possibly refuse... LOL

[@LastHumansGarage]

Naw I already talked to him on that. Not too interested, not my thing.

[@LastHumansGarage]

bro i have at least 20 mods im dreaming of for the car, and im not about to spend any money dynoing while it could go to mods.

[@GTI_CHHA]

@@LastHumansGarage Sure thing bro. I fully understand, no worries, was just teasing you a bit :-)

[@LastHumansGarage]

@@GTI_CHHA oh im having fun with it too.. but unless the shop is giving me a free dyno, i'm not interested. not that i'm begging for free stuff, but i don't have much interest in a dyno.

[@randomhobby3729]

07:00 wrong. a quick drain would remove more dirt.

[@Unexpectedperspectivesnow]

How is that computer involved in the oil change? 😶

[@LastHumansGarage]

you have to reset the mechanicals and adjustments. (only for diff type stuff, not for regular engine oil change.)

[@SIMPLB9]

How often should you get this serviced?

[@LastHumansGarage]

Whatever the owners manual says. I’m not a professional

[@LastHumansGarage]

Or…. When you have a serious haldex issue and u think it’s not grabbing…

[@MD-pz3cn]

Every 30k.

[@tangolima86]

hello, can I know what tightening torques you used to close the various bolts ?? thanks

[@LastHumansGarage]

hmm i didnt put it in the video?

[@jedi69outcast]

Gotta Ask. What’s your Holy Grail of Mods for your current Steed?

[@LastHumansGarage]

Ahh steering wheel, downpipe. But holy grail, prob the $1200 RS3 grill..

[@LastHumansGarage]

And front splitter, rear spoiler.

[@westmountainmotorsports]

I really think you are going overkill, the car seemed to me like it was working normally. Not to be rude but I think you just need to learn how the car operates more than just chocking it up to failing parts. Hey you might end up having an issue and at that point you could say it was worth it however the car hardly has any miles on it. Turn off traction control and just do some more launches. Your car was faster than Jordans we witnessed it however you just gottta get better at launching is all it is in my opinion.

[@LastHumansGarage]

I guess u didn’t stay till the end to see how dirty the fluid was? I think it was well worth it.

[@spectremarty]

Looking at that fluid and screen, this service was worth its weight in gold. Protection of the clutches and pump. Waaaaaaay cheaper than replacement of things. :)

[@LastHumansGarage]

@@spectremarty You are exactly right Party Marty.

[@Adrianperformancequattro]

Now You can use LC 😉

[@LastHumansGarage]

Dude I’ll be challenging BJP again soon.

[@GTI_CHHA]

@@LastHumansGarage Hell yeah bro!! I made a note of it :-)
