Follow-up...good info.
Dealer called to say they have been researching Haldex servicing all morning since "they" previously told us the unit was unservicable. Dealer (as a result of their intensive research skills...are you laughing, Denny) learned Haldex service is part of 20K service where special oil is changed with specialized cartridge. The differential oil is NOT changed as part of that service. So....I told them to change-out to Mobil 1, 75/90 along with transmission today.
Dealer called back a few minutes later to say they didn't have the Mobil 1 gear oil and would have to order it. WHAT? every part house in the country has it! Sorry. So I just got back from running out to the local parts house and dropping off a few quarts at dealer. Impressive, heh?
My Tech left the dealer for greener pastures since my last visit (he couldn't get along with Ser. Mgr.). Sure do miss him.
On a more positive note...my revised G valve has arrived and is already installed. HOT DOG...MY DV PROBLEMS ARE FINALLY OVER. 8-}
