I did a “suck and swap” Haldex fluid change today. I used a large 100ml syringe with a small rubber tube attached. Found that on eBay for a few dollars. Stuck the tubing into the fill hole and pulled out approximately 250ml worth of fluid.
Then pumped in clean fluid with a cheapo squirter-type oil can until it over flowed from the fill hole. I let it sit 5+ minutes (per the TIS) and topped it off again. My Foxwell service tool doesn’t have the bleeding or calibration functions so I then turned the engine on an let the car idle for a few minutes, then topped it off again. This is the procedure I see tons of VW, Volvo, etc. people do with their Haldex systems.
Fluid on my 2017 Clubman S with 34,000 miles was pretty nasty. Lots of gold glittery material and even some tiny black chunks. I assume this is all clutch material. New fluid I used was Ravenol AWD-H Haldex.
