Reply With QuoteI do mine and recommend every 30,000km. Those strapped for cash I'd suggest every 60,000km especially when they want to keep the car for a long time. Most VW diffs hold around 1L of oil, so it's not a big deal.

I've seen lots of references to the need to change both the DSG and Haldex oil & filter every 60,000 km or 4 years.
However what about the rear diff on a 4 Motion? Should that oil be changed and if so how often?
Any information greatly appreciated.

No service interval on it, however there's nothing stopping you from chaning it.
Oil is nothing special, just full-synthetic 75W-90 gear oil.

Thanks Transporter and Umai Naa!!. It sounds like an optional thing to give longevity every opportunity even though the old oil will probably look quite clean. I suppose it should be filled to the filler hole?

Yeah, pretty much.
Main thing is to be 100% certain you're draining and filling through the correct plugs.

Thanks. You betcha. The Haldex wouldn't enjoy diff oil!!Originally Posted by Umai Naa!!

Is there some good clear diagrams on performing this change?
