So I bought a reasonably low km mk7 golf r just yesterday in what seemed good condition... Boy did I underestimate the fault that the inspector found which just said intermittent accelerometer error in the haltex 4wd... Just thought it was a sensor error that wasn't current and he didn't seem worried about it either.
Feeling silly now as I should have driven it hard off the mark when I test drive it because on the drive home I accelerated hard on a slightly damp road and found traction control kicked in.
My newly owned obdeleven shows it as a haltek pump fault. Reset the fault and it comes back.
So from reading I believe the chances are a clogged filter which has now led to a failed pump.
So do I order a new pump and oil. Then jack it up and do it all in one go... Or do I change the oil plus clean the filter in hope it fixes it. Which means getting under the car twice. And also possibly needing to buy oil again..
Anyone got suggestions on where to buy a haldex pump? Seen some from UK on ebay. Seems local online suppliers I saw are out of stock.
