First OBD11 Scan Results

Nice one, thanks for raising awareness to it.

Your welcome

Make sure you remove the pump and clean the small white gauze filter when its serviced, although FWD diff haldex filters are normally reasonably
 clean, you should see a Golf R rear diff haldex filter!!

Oh and £320 for a diff service!!, i'd do them all day for that.

That was the price for the DSG oil change service (now up to £335...), which I thought would include the diff

Diff service isn’t included as part of the service schedule and there’s always been some difference of opinion as to how often it should be done.

Every 3 years is, i think, the manufacturer’s recommendation- i think that’s probably unnecessary- unless you drive the car hard.

I’ve not heard reports of diff failure.

It isn’t expensive- I paid something like £80 when I got mine done-

I doubt they would’ve done any more than drain and refill.

Will be interesting to see what they say/do, at least I have the fault code as justification for asking. They don't get funny if you tell them you've scanned yourself, do they..? Also hoping they're not gonna charge £100+ for their own diagnostic service as well....

[Yusee]

They won’t have a problem with you scanning.

They should scan for faults as part of the service, so shouldn’t charge more for doing that

Hi, I wasnt aware that the GTI had the Haldex system, I thought this was only for the 4wd system.

I had an S3 previously which had the Haldex oil changed regularly.

I have a 2018 7.5 PP, so assume by the above messages that this will need doing too, looking at the history of the car, it doesnt look like it has ever been done and its on approx 36k now.

It certainly does, some ppl here call it the VAQ/e-diff etc. If it was my car id do it myself or at a good indy to make sure the filter housing/gauze was properly cleaned.

The Gti PP doesn't have the Haldex system fitted, that is the four wheel drive system fitted to Quattro driven cars i.e. R's S3's and S4's etc. It does have a LSD system fitted that requires oil services at specified mileage intervals.

The haldex system itself is basically the same system on FWD and 4WD.

One distributes the power left to right in the case of FWD and the other distributes power front to rear in 4WD.

Both systems have a haldex pump and clutch pack.

Cleared the codes last night, will try and scan regularly to monitor it, and see if the way I drive has any impact
