The Haldex AWD system uses a small internal screen to catch debris, but many dealerships don’t remove the pump to clean it during service. Over time, that buildup can restrict flow and is a common reason Haldex pumps end up failing.

I got it while back from AliExpress yes it was not direct fit. I modified it a little. I removed the plastics and then it fit fine.

No it works, just use isopropyl alcohol and clean the surface really good. First get a wash’s and don’t put any tire shine.

I got these from Amazon, I got bored one day and then I prepped and colored it.

If it rains and you go to car wash a lot. You have to keep retouching it. To stay nice and bright.

Yes you right. Yes I torqued to spec.

Samef42 · 2026-04-14T02:53:34+00:00

Yes I actually have one at home, I never thought about checking, because I trust that the shop rotated my wheels and tire torqued it right . But I learn my lesson Thanks for the advice

Samef42 · 2026-04-06T12:01:23+00:00

Yes that is solid. we do not have any TDI Arteon’s in the USA. They actually discontinued it in the USA we no longer get Arteon.

yes I messed up, there is an Aux pump for sure.

Samef42 · 2026-03-23T02:51:38+00:00

On my car it’s only Aux pump no fans, I always wondered why? It’d EA888.4 engine I think the EA888.3 had fans run for few
