Drive
The pump plungers generate the operating
pressure that is controlled by the control valve as
a function of the difference in speed between the
input and output shafts. The control valve works
progressively from fully open to fully closed. The
fluid pressure can be approx. 67 bar when the
control valve is fully open. The maximum pressure is mechanically controlled by means of the
pressure relief valve.

The electric feed pump is an axial piston pump
which is more robustly designed than the gerotor
pump in the 3rd generation Haldex. The higher
feed pressure means that the ring piston pump at
the clutch plate assembly, the pressure relief
valves, preload valve and the high pressure valves
are no longer necessary.
The pressure accumulator on the 4th generation
Haldex is larger and is designed for the higher
pressure. The 4th generation Haldex has a larger fluid filter
which contains a non-return valve.
The all-wheel drive control unit no longer contains
a pressure sensor in the 4th generation Haldex.

Full torque is available at any time on the 4th
generation Haldex clutch because the pressure is
not dependent on the difference in the speeds of
rotation. This is used for instance to activate the
Haldex clutch for better traction when moving off.
On the 4th generation Haldex clutch, the preload
function which applied 80 Nm to the plates in the
3rd generation is no longer required.
On request from the control unit and at engine
speeds above 400 rpm, the electric feed pump runs
and maintains the storage pressure at about 30
bar.
A pressure reducing valve acts as a control valve,
allowing the all-wheel drive control unit to control
the pressure with much greater precision. The
all-wheel drive control unit monitors the position and function of the control valve. The control valve
distributes the pressure, depending on the
requirements, across its three outlet openings
(storage pressure, working pressure, return).
From the storage pressure (30 bar) and depending
on the requirements, the control valve regulates a
working pressure of 0 - 17 bar, which is applied to
the ring piston. At 17 bar working pressure, the
maximum torque of 1000 Nm is transferred to the
rear wheels. The all-wheel drive control unit
ensures the best possible performance under all
driving conditions, for all road conditions and
independent of the speed.

Component Tests
Hydraulic Leak Check
NOTE: There is a common clutch and brake fluid
reservoir, therefore it is possible that a clutch leak
can lead to reduction in the reservoir level.
It is possible that all evidence of fluid leakage may
have washed off if the vehicle has been operated
in rain or snow, as brake fluid is water-soluble.
Refill the system, bleed then apply the brakes
several times. Examine the system to verify that
the reservoir fluid level is actually dropping. Locate
and repair the external leak. If the fluid level drops
and no external leak can be found, check for a
brake master cylinder bore end seal leak.
Brake System Check
Brake Pedal Reserve Check
Where a low brake pedal or the feel of a
bottomed-out condition exists, check for brake
pedal reserve.
1. Operate the engine at idle with the transaxle in the NEUTRAL position.
2. Apply the brake pedal lightly three or four times.
3. Allow 15 seconds for the vacuum to replenish the brake booster.
NOTE: This increased resistance may feel like
something has bottomed out.
4. Apply the brake pedal until it stops moving downward or an increased resistance to the
pedal travel occurs. 5. Hold the brake pedal in the applied position and
raise the engine speed to approximately 2000
rpm.
NOTE: The additional movement of the brake pedal
is the result of the increased engine manifold
vacuum which exerts more force on the brake
booster during engine rundown. This means that
additional stroke is available in the brake master
cylinder and the brake system is not bottoming out.
6. Release the accelerator pedal and observe that the brake pedal moves downward as the engine
returns to idle speed.
Brake Booster Functional Test
Inspect all hoses and connections. All unused
vacuum connectors should be capped. Hoses and
their connections should be correctly secured and
in good condition with no holes and no collapsed
areas. Inspect the check valve on the brake booster
for damage.
Brake Booster Operation Check
1. Check the hydraulic brake system for leaks orlow fluid.
2. With the transaxle in the NEUTRAL position, stop the engine and apply the parking brake.
Apply the brake pedal several times to exhaust
all the vacuum in the system.
3. With the engine turned off and the vacuum in the system exhausted, apply the brake pedal
and hold it down. Start the engine. If the vacuum
system is operating, the brake pedal will tend
to move downward under constant foot
pressure. If no motion is felt, the vacuum
booster system is not functioning.
