Inspect and clean the filter and pump: Debris can clog these components, impacting system functionality. If the Haldex oil is dirty, it can damage other components and affect performance. Dirty oil can overheat the coupling or cause the clutches to burn out. It can also burn out the Haldex Pump and will lead to loss of rear drive and eventual failure.
