Volkswagen Golf Alltrack Haldex Fluid Service DIY (2017-2019 Mk7 Golf Alltrack, SportWagen 4Motion)

►VW's Mk7 Golf Alltrack and SportWagen 4Motion are all-wheel-drive wagon variants of the last-generation Golf. A Haldex-based all-wheel-drive system is efficient and reliable but requires servicing like any other part of the drivetrain. Replacing the Haldex fluid is a great way to ensure the health of your golf's traction system going forward.
A Haldex fluid replacement is just like any other oil change you might make on your car, minus the use of a filter. All you need to do is drain out the worn fluid and fill it up with some fresh stuff. You can tackle this service at home with a few tools and an hour's worth of time.
Watch along as FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er, Mike Hidalgo, performs a Haldex fluid service on a Mk7 VW Golf Alltrack.

You guys are the best when it comes to DIY of European cars. You explain and take us through the steps in a calm and friendly manner.

[@fcpeuro]

We appreciate that Sagar, and hope to do more of them!

[@callister4941]

Ricer Miata sent me!!!! THANKS for sponsoring all the sick ass bimmers they have!

[@ricodefreitas]

Glad I found out this channel 👍. Great service.

[@johnebenstead1771]

Excellent video,thank you,clear and easy to follow

[@fcpeuro]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Kiss__Kiss]

Hey!! It's Mike "The Bro Bro with the Mo Mo" Hidalgo... Thanks Mike.. When I buy a Haldex vehicle, I'll remember this video.. For Now I'll watch it for the content/Company... 👌 As my B8.5 allroad is Quattro. Then again, Our garage also houses a Lexus GX, and a '20 STI. But have always liked the Alltrack, as it's kind of like my allroad with a Manual transmission lol

[@nickoleary1760]

"The click isn't very satisfying I'm sorry" 😂. Thanks for the detailed video

[@fcpeuro]

You’re welcome 😊

[@stuartpheil3661]

I read a competitors DIY and they said you have to "relearning " process (and they never said how) but you didn't do that. Is it necessary and I didn't see that option on my scan tool? Love FCP parts, service and DIY! Keep up the great work

[@donvito782]

Is it necessary to reset the pump with vcds? Im trying to change haldex oil and clean pump screen without any vcds.

[@ardie72]

You didn't service the haldex pump motor.. you had the opportunity to remove the body from the motor and clear out the bushes dust...which causes friction in the motor...and extends the life of the pump itself.....I've done this exact same service and that one step would give you an additional 40 k of life on the pump.

[@fcpeuro]

Thanks for the note, DJ!

[@ToiletDeflecter]

I actually removed the housing bolts by accident and when i pulled on the pump the housing seemed to be stuck to the motor. The copper wire felt like they were stretching so i didnt pull any harder. Is it potentially gunked up?

[@redzone5655]

In an allwheel drive vehicle would not it be better to drain the front casing as well? Would that take another litre? What about turning on the car to make sure there are not bubbles and effectively checking temperature? High temp is a sign of bubbles and that is why you still need to top the system up, right?

[@Unexpectedperspectivesnow]

Please my good sir, can you take a moment to explain the "temperature checking" thing? How does that affect anything, except that the fluid should not be freezing when you pour it it? And what's this "priming" thing of the Haldex pump that I've been hearing about?

[@giuseppebonelli9512]

Thanks bro for sharing your passion and shedding some light on us. Would it be much different on an Audi Q5 2.0T quattro MY12? Thanks

[@uouououououo4333]

completely different system

[@mk7gti911]

No it will be the same. Just change the oil as seen in this video. There is no need to take the pump off

[@nicogarbella]

996 Vids? Thanks :)

[@goodaboy1199]

Don’t know if you can answer this but I think my pump is broken I I jacked up the car on all four corners and put it on Drive and the rear tires do spin a little bit they get going after a while but you can stop it really easy Do I need a new pump?

[@fcpeuro]

You may want to consider scanning the vehicle for any fault codes first. In addition, if the system has never been serviced, you will want to consider that as well. Checking the state of the fluid and screen can show you further insight on the condition of your pump.

[@ruheluddin9384]

Fantastic video! That mesh wasn’t too dirty! I’ve seen others full of gunk! Don’t you have to reset the pump with VCDS?

[@fcpeuro]

No need to reset the system! Priming the system and re-checking fluid levels is all you would want to do.

[@ruheluddin9384]

@@fcpeuro sorry what’s priming mean?

[@ruheluddin9384]

Adding the oil I’m guessing?

[@almadis]

You didn’t change the other, bigger haldex filter. Why?

[@scottmccullough8030]

They don't exist on the gen 5

[@aredd92]

He says NOT to torque it to the factory spec which is around 23 ft/lb or 30Nm, yet they display that value in the video?? Racing lines website guide says to torque the drain plug the same as the fill plug, which is 15Nm or around 11.1 ft/lb. Racing Line should also really include this info in or on the box if the torque spec is going to be different. They even state that torquing the bolt to factory spec can damage it, yet somehow we’re supposed to just know that.

[@fcpeuro]

Hi Aaron, we wanted to provide the specs for factory hardware as well since most people will not be using the Racing Line plug. Both specs are featured for both applications.

[@aredd92]

@@fcpeuro That would be completely understandable, but you can see how this might be misleading right? The dialogue in the video says “12mm 23 ft/lbs”. And I’m not sure where in the video you list the racing line drain plug torque as being 15 Nm?

[@AlanBellavance]

Camera was poorly aimed through most of the video and I could not see what you were referring to when you made references to what you were doing.

[@kelseymcdonnell6376]

Does your hair get dirty when you stand under the car?

[@fcpeuro]

Every thumbs-up is a reason to get Mike a taller lift!

[@LMGSvideos]

$65 for two small bolts, and two o-rings?? Gotta be a cheaper alternative out there somewhere.

[@yiranjack]

try dealer, sometimes they are not bad.

[@DanK-Mtb]

ebay $25
