Product Description
This is a new functional Continental Haldex control unit with OEM number 0BS907554D, designed for 4th generation Haldex AWD systems used across Volkswagen Group vehicles. The module manages rear axle engagement, controls clutch pressure through the hydraulic system and communicates with ABS, ESP and engine management electronics.
What This Control Unit Does
- Monitors speed difference between front and rear axles
- Controls hydraulic pump pressure for rear clutch engagement
- Activates rear-wheel drive automatically when traction is required
- Communicates with ABS, ESP and engine management modules
- Manages the Haldex control valve N373 for clutch pressure regulation
Typical failures of the original controller can cause AWD disengagement, communication errors, N373 valve faults, pump faults or ESP / ABS warning lights. This new replacement unit is intended to restore stable AWD operation in compatible vehicles.

Why Haldex Control Units Fail
1. Water Ingress & Sealing Failure
Moisture and damaged sealing can affect the control unit housing and internal electronics, leading to corrosion, unstable communication and complete AWD malfunction.
2. Valve or Pump Related Faults
Failure of the Haldex control valve N373 or clutch pump can overload the AWD system and trigger recurring module-related diagnostic errors, engagement issues or loss of rear-wheel drive.
3. Internal Electronic Failure
EEPROM faults, internal memory errors and circuit-board wear can cause intermittent operation, no communication faults or complete loss of rear differential control.
4. Wiring or Power Supply Problems
Damaged wiring, poor terminal contact or unstable power supply can interrupt module operation and create misleading communication or actuator fault codes.
Warranty
24-Month Warranty: This new Haldex control unit is supplied with a 24-month warranty under normal operating conditions.
Warranty Coverage Includes:
- Internal control unit malfunction
- Communication failures caused by the module itself
- Faults related to internal memory or controller operation
Warranty Exclusions:
