Rear final drive
The design of the rear final drive has been adapted for installation of the Haldex 4th generation coupling and for
the higher torque requirements in the T5 2010, as far as the housing and the bearings are concerned.
The reservoir tank for the Haldex oil is an integral component of the final drive housing. This means it is protected
against mechanical damage from the outside.
The Haldex 4th generation coupling is similar in design to the Haldex coupling in the Caddy and Tiguan.
Optionally, the rear axle drive is available with a mechanical differential lock.

More information about the Haldex 4th generation coupling is available in self-study programme
no. 414 "4MOTION with generation IV 4WD coupling".
When service work is carried out on the rear axle box, refer to the information in ELSA (Electronic
Service Information System) or in the technical product information documents. This applies to the oil fills
in particular. Never mix up oils for the rear axle box and for the Haldex coupling with one another!
If oils are mixed up or there is no oil fill, there will be massive damage to the final drive and/or the
Haldex coupling.
