Re: Noise in 9-3X SC Haldex rear differential? Posted by 900EMS [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Noise in 9-3X SC Haldex rear differential?, Flyboy ![]() |
Found the problem. It's the driveshaft. As Ron suggested, it appears that the universal joints did their part in damaging the driveshaft. This will be the third driveshaft the shop has replaced. Maybe this is a good time to ask if anyone else on the 9-3SS forum that owns an XWD equipped car has had similar problems.
In the scheme of things I'm glad it's the driveshaft that's failed as opposed to the Haldex system. It'll arrive at the service center on Monday. I'll have the car repaired later in the week.
As to servicing the Haldex, I found a post on another Saab forum sourced from Borg-Warner/Haldex that said all parts are sealed and require no service.
The owner's manual doesn't mention anything about replacing fluids per se other than checking them.
