XC70 2004 - Haldex 2 or Haldex 3 ?
My first post.
My 2004 XC70 with 260,000 km is leaking oil from the haldex unit. I would like to find out if it is a haldex 2 or haldex 3. "Volvo XC70 Cross Country Info Page" tells me:- "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. Derek |

Thanks for that.
The plot thickens. As well as your comment, my car is registered 2004 and the certificate of conformity is 2003 ! How much more unclear can it be. Derek |

It’s not unusual for new, unregistered cars to sit around in the supply chain for 6 maybe 12 months.

I have read a thread about replacing the filter with out removing propshaft/exhaust which involved re using the concave filter cover, because the finned new cover could not be squeezed into the space available. This may not be an issue if the prop is removed, but shows the two parts are interchangeable. Cheers Bob |

Thanks, Bob.
(I couldn't find this bookmark, hence the delay) I now have a filter and oil for the haldex 2 or 3. I raised the car up to give plenty of space to get in and out but couldn't get the first nut off of the exhaust. There was not space to use a grinder so the car is booked in to the local garage. Thanks to all who read and especially to all who contributed their experiences. Derek |

Further information.
I've had assistance from Andrew (USA) and Jamie (UK) (if I'm allowed to post their web-sites, tell me and I shall). Andrew says that, from my car ID plate information, I have haldex 3. Jamie sent photos of haldex 2 (concave filter cover) and haldex 3 (cooing fins) I have either haldex 2 or 3. From comparing my photos with those sent by Jamie, I have haldex 2. No cooling fins perceivable; concave filter cap. The question now remains, and perhaps it should have been my first question: "Is the filter for haldex 2 the same as for haldex 3?" Thanks. Derek |

This is one of many cases where it’s best just to order the parts you need from a dealer working from your VIN or VRM. That way you are 99.9% assured they will fit, and if they don’t they will be changed with no charges...

Dear Tannation,
That's sound advice and ordinarily I would agree with you. However, my local dealer could not be bothered to answer an email concerning a door key so I don't trust them to answer more complicated questions concerning transmission. The main thing though is that my dealer is 2 hours east or 3 hours west as I am in France. My language skills get me through most predicaments but explaining my requirements to someone who lives in another region, with the consequent regional accent to which I am unaccustomed, is something that I do not relish. best wishes Derek |
