    Service in South West WA?

    Hi,

    Can anyone recommend a service agent in the south west of Western Australia (we've just moved here from South Aus) for our 2006 4motion Multivan? It is also due for an oil change in the Haldex coupling and overdue for the Gates coupling to be replaced.

    Many thanks,

    Andy

    Hi Andy, welcome to WA
    You might have to take it down to Albany. I believe there's a dealer there. I haven't heard of any independent specialists in the south west although some of the guys in Bunbury might have someone they go to. Otherwise you might have to come up to Perth.
    Cheers

    Cheers Geoff,

    I was hoping to find and independent specialist but will of course use a dealer if I have to.
    Thanks for your reply,

    Andy.

    Book in with Elite Euro and enjoy a day trip to Perth -they will organise a loan car for you while you are here. They will organise the Haldex service properly including changing the filter which some 'dealer services' miss.

    best reply I can give is that it changed the 'cut-in' response of the rear diff - different algorithm allowing more of a 50/50 FWD/RWD split - it is noticeable. Not sure if the same is available for the Mutivan - ask Elite - Phil or Joe there will know.
