Volvo XC90 Haldex 3 Test

A quick compilation of test videos I made on various loose surfaces to see how the Haldex 3 AWD system on my Volvo XC90 V8 would perform. Having open differentials front and rear doesn't help much, and this version of Haldex doesn't have DSTC intervention like on Haldex 4. But overall it did a decent job. It's a soft off-roader, not a hardcore SUV.

It's just like mine, just different wheels. Same color, same v8. Awesome vehicles for sure.

[@theKnightDesign]

Yeah man, I love this thing. By far my favorite vehicle I’ve owned.

What 5-spoke wheels are on yours? They look great!

[@theKnightDesign]

They’re 20” TSW Rivages!

[@macalvarezLA]

Do you have any leak issues? Like oils?

[@theKnightDesign]

Nope, no leaking or malfunctions that I’m aware of. Works as intended.

[@kawoutster]

Does it work like it should?

[@theKnightDesign]

It does, yes. I serviced the Haldex pump and fluid around 30,000 miles ago. Almost time for another fluid change.
