Xc60 awd disabled
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: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2014-VOLV...sAAOSwPaBcYUG1 Last edited by mac219; May 16th, 2019 at 16:10. |

Well, firstly the haldex units are not infamously flawed... they are very reliable.
Secondly there is no description of symptoms so it’s a guess as to what’s going on?

Symptoms are that the AWD disabled service required message appears on the info display.

I would take the pump out take the filter off the end and clean it , clean out the housing , also replace the main filter behind a plate above the pump , then refill with new oil . If the fault has been there for a while the pump will have worn out due to running starved of oil .

Thanks for reply Clan, Hopefully no damage been done. Message has been intermittent for a couple of weeks.
Will take your advice and do the oil. Does it have to be bought from Volvo or is there a good market equivalent? |

you may be lucky .. No, use the specific volvo AOC oil , a friction clutch is lubricated by it .

The fact that it is intermittent is a good sign... if it was on all the time it would suggest the pump has failed hard.

Would 53,000 miles be about right for an oil change on the unit? |
