Installation & Recommended Service
Installation Notes
- Disconnect the battery and safely access the Haldex module on the rear differential
- Remove the old controller and inspect the connector pins and housing for corrosion or moisture
- Install the replacement ECU carefully and reconnect all plugs securely
- Clear stored fault codes and confirm communication with a suitable diagnostic tool
- Carry out coding if required after installation
Recommended While Replacing the Unit
- Check the Haldex control valve N373 if related faults are stored
- Inspect the wiring, connectors and surrounding module area
- Verify rear axle engagement after installation and road test

Why Haldex Control Units Fail
1. Moisture Ingress & Corrosion
Water or corrosion inside the module or connector can interrupt communication and damage the internal electronics.
2. Valve or Hydraulic Faults
Haldex valve or pressure-control problems can overload the ECU and trigger repeated AWD faults or loss of clutch engagement.
3. Internal Electronic Failure
Age, vibration and thermal cycling can lead to internal circuit problems, unstable AWD operation and stored fault codes.
4. Wiring or Power Supply Problems
Damaged wiring or weak power supply can create no-communication faults and prevent the rear axle system from operating correctly.

Let customers speak for us
from 25 reviewsGreat selection of parts. Reasonable pricing. Fast delivery and super service/support. My new Haldex ECU worked like a charm, once the car had recognised it (took a couple of restarts of the car and fault code clearing with OBDeleven). Highly recommend!
Fantastic company, Jakub who is very helpfull and swift to reply. Helped me fix my haldex gen 5 myself, would really recommend anyone to work with or buy from this great company! Thanks again for your help Jakub
Die Lieferung kam sehr schnell an und alles war sehr professionell verpackt. Vielen Dank, ich bin sehr zufrieden!
Super komunikace, rychlé doručení - zásilka dorazila za 4 dny, po instalaci nové ŘJ mi pan pomohl nakódovat a zprovoznit. Díly pro haldex už jedině zde.
Esperienza positiva. molto professionali e disponibili. Grazie ancora. Alla prossima.
Habe einen älteren Volvo XC90, bei dem das Steuergerät für die Haldex Kupplung defekt war. Hier fand ich ein (geprüftes) gebrauchtes Gerät zu einem fairen Preis. Der Versand brauchte etwas über eine Woche, aber das war für mich ok. Allzeit netter Kontakt und schnelle Rückmeldung.
Sehr schneller Versand.
Das überholte Steuergerät funktioniert super.
Freundlicher Händler.
