"Second Gen 2002-2003 used Haldex First Generation until MY2003 - 2005 when it got Second Generation. Third Generation XC70 2006+ uses Third Generation Haldex." - Wikipedia/haldex agrees.
http://www.awdwiki.com/en/haldex/ gives 2004 as the transition year between 2 and 3.
However, I can't find any reference to haldex 2 service parts, and my unit looks like a haldex 3.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks.

I didn't think Volvo used Gen 1 Haldex, instead a thermo viscous coupling was used on it's AWD models until MY2003 when they went Haldex. It was about this time the car was renamed XC70 instead of V70 XC (to match the XC90 nomenclature).
