I too am all about preventative maintenance and so this sounds like good sense. I'm guessing my late 2010 XC90 (2011MY) has a Gen 4 coupling.
My local main dealer said this: The Haldex coupling is a non service item however the oil can be replaced and the gauze filter cleaned for £226.
I believe many VAG models have the same coupling with service intervals between 20k and 40k miles. What's the deal with Volvo and the huge bill for a little oil and some labour? Is it the case that the design of the car makes the coupling a bitch to get at and most of the labour is for taking things apart to get to it?
I may ask my indie what he thinks.
BTW whilst I was asking about Haldex I thought I would enquiry about an ATF flush and replace. That was even worse at £442.
