An important point – the owners of four-wheel drive cars forget about it

Volkswagen Caddy Maxi, 2.0TD (110 hp), М6

Manufacturer — Volkswagen Poznan Ltd, Poland
Year of issue – 2013
In operation “Behind the wheel” – from July 2013
Mileage at the time of notification – 202,000 km

On a four-wheel drive Caddy, regardless of time and mileage, it is necessary to change the oil in the Haldex clutch, which connects the rear axle, every three years. But about checking the status of the filter – not a word.

I decided – I’ll look into it at the next (third in a row) oil change. Access to the filter cover is not difficult.

When I took the filter out, I was shocked by the amount of dirt that had accumulated. Change immediately!


Officially, such a filter is not sold at Volkswagen and there are no analogues.

So I took a similar one from the 2010 Volvo XC70 – it fit perfectly. In addition to the original, there are many replacements – I bought an average-priced professional parts filter (according to reviews, not bad) for 1,500 rubles.

I advise all owners of 4WD vehicles with a Haldex clutch: replace the filter at least after one oil change.

You can ask your question about the operation of any car from the “Behind the Wheel” fleet – we will answer.

Requires 7,000 tires in popular sizes

Without ties, public order cannot be guaranteed, and medical care cannot be provided to those who need it.

“Behind the Wheel” together with the Popular Front began to collect money that will be used to buy tires for cars of the People’s Police and operational services of the LPR and DPR: ambulances, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, vehicles delivering humanitarian aid to the inhabitants of Donbass and army equipment. You can make your contribution
on the collection page.

  • If the car is not new, look under the hood more often – so as not to stand in the cold on the track and not get into the money.
  • “Behind the wheel” can also be read in Telegram.
