I cleaned the pump, fitted a new filter and refilled with fresh oil but my intention is to drain and fill at least a couple more times in the very near future as I'm certain that you are correct about the probable colour of the oil now in the Haldex.

When I checked out my V70 AWD R I did not remove the prop, so I was not able to remove the pump due to the prop shaft blocking access/removal nor the filter due to filter bolt corrosion, and VERY limited access.
I was thus forced to clean the unit as best as possible, hoping in the unlikely event that "cleaner fluid" running through would somehow remove some of the crap that had built up in the pump + filter.
How successful this has been is debatable, but the AWD is still functioning. Its the 2004 1/16 rotation before activation type.
