I gave my HPA Haldex controller a workout last weekend. Even the tightest and fastest corners are no drama. It makes me a bit afraid to find out where the limits are. Even when I drive aggressively - for me - the system makes me look good!

[RRRRR32]

How do I confirm what mode it's in?

Is there a possibility to ever get a Gen 2 controller with the eco mode? I would like the ability to disable the rear end for highway driving. does haldex offer such a thing like the gen 4 controller but compatible with the gen 2 cars?

Id really like to upgrade the haldex controller,and if that is an option I would purchase one very soon. please let me know

No. But the Gen.2 controller does offer a stock mode, which would perform quite similarily.

...if that is an option I would purchase one very soon.

Gen.2's are in stock and ready to ship!

The Haldex remote. For just $100.00 more than the price of a cable/switch, the remote allows for changing Haldex modes with ease, not to mention a much less complicated installation.



These remotes can be purchased separately, or as part of a Combo with the Gen.2 or Gen.4 controller.

Gen 4 competition controller installed today with a bunch of other goodies. My R is now officially 2++ Rad!!
Thanks Darryl, you are the man!

[VAD@HPA]

How reliable is the aftermarket controller (both for the switchable and competition versions)? Also what would the warranty coverage be?

Warranty on all of our Haldex offerings is 1 year. These units are manufactured/programmed by the same company that makes your OE controller. They are of equal reliability.

Hi,
Anyone tried or have idea if there is way to turn on Haldex without HPA controller?
Literature says:
"The pressure on the plates is determined by the regulating valve. The positioning motor, which is
driven by the Haldex coupling control unit, adjusts the regulating valve. If the regulating valve is closed, the maximum pressure acts on the clutch plates. The maximum pressure is determined by the pressure limiting valve."
I'm thinking to switch on regulating valve with manually switch relay or ESP switch off on the panel.

"Pressure build-up in pump for Haldex coupling (pre-pressure) is activated electrically when the engine speed exceeds 400 rpm." Means pump is working all the time, so there is no need to turn on additionally.

I think it is software based so it is technically possible but I doubt you will get the answer here because that is basically what HPA did and is trying to sell. They just decided to make it a replacement part but it should be possible just to "reflash" the existing controller if you knew how. It would be much nicer if someone offered a reflash with controls designed to use the existing blank buttons we have but I'm not in the business of designing car mods so...

I've put about 10k miles on my R with the Haldex controller from HPA, and thought I'd post up my thoughts on it so far.
Went with the wireless switchable controller and only take it out of race mode every so often on longer highway trips. Other than that, it stays in race mode all the time. Lost a couple MPGs in fuel economy in race mode, but nothing that bothers me all that much.

One of my concerns was winter driving, this is a non-issue for sure. The car still performs well in race mode in snow/ice, and switching off ESC just increases the fun factor if you have space to play around in.

Can't wait for spring to roll around to put in some track time in the R! Considering swapping to the competition only controller considering how rarely I take it out of race mode.

HPA is top notch to work with

Is it possible in my wildest imagination to control my Haldex via the 3 empty buttons next to the traction control button, preferably wirelessly? If not currently, can you make/develope it? I would pay more for that option...

Also is the Haldex gen 2 on an MkV R32 able to send more than 50% of power to the rear wheels for any instant, even a millisecond? Is it possible with the stock tune or just yours?

That would be great, very clean install. E-mail me and I'll show you what some creative customers have done with their Haldex Switch mounting.

Never more than 50% to the rear wheels...under the best case scenario maybe 55 front/45 rear...

We've been getting a lot of snow lately here in Minnesota. I gotta say that the haldex controller is AWESOME!!! I feel like I have total control no matter what. Leaving trucks in the dust is so much fun! Maybe they just don't suspect the R. Hahaha. Traction control off! And let the rear end hang out. When I want it to straighten out it comes right back, even without getting out of the throttle. Anyways just thought I'd let you know

[VAD@HPA]

Thanks guys...I'm looking forward to installing it...

For those who haven't seen this picture and are worried about how the car handles on ice and snow with the controller. Full sideways around an ice track. Handles like a champ!

[VAD@HPA]

...this is a MUST HAVE upgrade....

AWWWWWEEEEEEEESSSSSSSOOOOOOOMMMMMMMEEEEEE!!!!!!

[VAD@HPA]

...With the HPA Haldex I was able to go way deeper into the corners and brake a lot later as the rear braking and torque transfer to the rear was amazing compared to stock. I was also able to rocket out of the turns tighter, faster, and with way less understeer...

[VAD@HPA]

Just ordered mine....Goodbye understeer!
