Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Vehicle Diagnostic Tester
Depending on the driving style of the customer, oil depreciation in the torque splitter may occur earlier than expected.
Because of this, a load value of the oil must be read out, which illustrates the oil wear.
To do this, use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester to select the "Rear Final Drive Oil Change, Servicing" test, under the guided functions for the control module "Left rear Axle Torque Vectoring" and the control module "Right Rear Axle Torque Vectoring".
The test program will show the maximum value and the current load value.
Depending on the mileage, time to the next service as well as the driving profile of the customer, a decision needs to be made about a possible oil change.
