4motion haldex modification ?

I have mailed Harding Performance. And will be emailing some of the American sites.

If there is not to much of a price variance with the American sellers probably best to go local.

I know harding performance have a 10% discount on at the moment thanks to an average yankee dollar so you may be in luck

We shall see, I have tried with the Haldex controller before and apparently there isn't much margin in them.

I prefer to go local but lets see what happens !

While on the whole 4WD subject, is there any way to convert a 4motion into a rear wheel drive by simply pulling a plug or a fuse or something similar?

yeh blue for me too. audvolks can install a three way controller that can change between stock, 60-40% and almost 100% rear at the flick of a switch in your cabin.

Dre, unless im wrong they are referring to the second generation Haldex controller which isn't compatible with the 4motion Bora's. I do believe it is compatible with the R32's. MIV and V.

Doesn't work like that. 95 % or more is transferred to the Front. When you loose traction the Haldex valve actuates and transfers power to the rear. So by pulling the fuse you could remove AWD and be left with FWD.

I am interested depending upon final cost.

yeh now that you mention it they did say that its the second generation controller but they also said that it should be compatible with newer boras, post 2002 or 2003 something like that. Are you sure that none of the boras are compatible?

[qsilverza]

Not sure, that's just what I had been told. So I guess it is possible. But I had asked for Gen 1 and 2 controllers.

So depending on who we go through they should be able to tell you if it will work or not.
