Don't miss
- The final drive and the Haldex coupling have separate »oil circuits«. To drain high-performance oil for Haldex coupling, only remove drain plug (A).
📋 Procedure
- Switch off ignition.
- Place drip tray for workshop hoistVAS 6208 under Haldex coupling.
- If fitted, lever stone deflector (2) off Haldex coupling pump V181(1).
- Unscrew drain plug (arrow) and drain off all of high-performance oil for Haldex coupling. [Note: The final drive and the Haldex coupling have separate »oil circuits«. To drain high-performance oil for Haldex coupling, only remove drain plug (A).]
- Screw in new drain plug (A) with new seal and tighten.

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
