Hi,

My car is a 2014 XC60 D5 AWD R Design 53,000 miles.

I've read several threads on this subject and watched various videos showing the infamously flawed Haldex unit.
I decided before sending mine off for refurb. I would get it up on the ramp and give the unit a good clean internally with circuit board cleaner...Just to try it..

However when I got the car up on the ramp last Sunday I was shocked to find my Haldex unit looked very different to the ones I had seen on the forums with the 2 allen screws to remove.

Mines has 8 screws and mounted on the other side of the diff. Very similar to VW/Audi units

Has anyone had experience of these failing ?

The car has been Volvo serviced from new,Apart from last service which was by Evans Halshaw last August when I bought the car.

Is it worth contacting Volvo considering the low mileage of the vehicle?

Thanks

Same unit as this:
