i am curious what they "repair". i took my dem and turned it over and saw that there was alot of fluid/liquid sludge coming out of it. i took it apart and cleaned the inside of it out with hot water. yes hot water. the unit was sealed but had some leakage. the hot water helped all the sludge get off the board and accosiated parts. the board seemed to have a thin coating of some sort. i figured what its the worst i can do? break it some more? LOL. took it apart, cleaned it resealed it with silicone, replaced the dem pump( code DEM0006) and replaced the sensor(dem0007 code), replaced the haldex fluid and i have working awd. i think if my dem did not have a leak it might not have ""failed". i think the liquid was shorting something out. over time it can make the dem useless piece of junk.
to anyone attempting this repair, please check if your dem is dry or have liquid damage and report back.
