so i had to do some service on my TT yesterday part of that service being a filter and fluid change for the haldex. so i get under there grab the existing filter with the nifty wrench and proceed to attempt to unscrew the little bastard. well after playing around for an hr trying to get the filter to turn i managed to get a much larger friend to come over and help me out with this, well between he 2 of us pulling and such all we managed to do was bend the handle on the wrench!... yep... the filter is on there so tight that the tool freaking broke...... i got so mad i took out the plasma cutter removed the now bent handle and welded on a piece of 1/2" stock solid tubing...... well..... this time it took more force but same thing..... bent handle........... that damn haldex filter will not come off... im so not happy about this as last time the car needed this done i had the dealer do it and now im starting to think they didn't do the service...... so any how..... this is really frustrating as all i can think of is to go to the dealer again and pay to have them to the labor on this fluid swap and before i leave there lot get under the car and see if the new filter is on and if it looks as if the drain plug had really been removed...... oh the joy...
