Motor Oil

There are numerous grades of oil, manufacturers are constantly changing them so there is no one, single oil for all cars, even the same model could have different oil based on the engine code. This is why at Nev'll Fix It, we check every time we change a vehicle’s engine oil and we offer a lifetime guarantee on the oil we use, in fact in our last count, there were 20 engine oils alone in our Tonbridge workshop- so get in touch with Nev'll Fix It for an engine oil change today.

Haldex Servicing & Repairs in Tonbridge with Nev'll Fix It

If you have a 4-wheel drive car; whether it’s Volvo AWD, VAG Group, Land Rover, or Ford, it’s very likely that it uses the Haldex four-wheel-drive system which is designed to run with a specific oil. Haldex oil is very specific in that it encourages friction between the surfaces of the multi-plate clutch setup. This friction then causes particles of material to build up within the oil which then contaminates the oil and the filter, therefore, the Haldex unit should have its oil changed regularly.

The Haldex pump provides oil pressure, which activates the front or rear four-wheel drive clutches when required. If the filter or oil strainer clogs up, the unit will become ineffective or non-functional leading to potentially expensive repairs or in extreme cases a new unit costing £1000s.

A Haldex oil service should be carried out every 20,000 for the later Gen 5 vehicles or every 35-40,000 miles for Gen 2 – 4 vehicles. For vehicles without a filter (Gen-5), it is even more important to get a regular Haldex oil service as the pump strainer can become blocked due to there being no fitted filter.

Unfortunately, the price of this service will vary depending on what system your vehicle uses. Some vehicles have an oil filter and others have a strainer instead of a filter, which requires a different type of care.
