    100% FWD until slip is detected. This is standard for the Gen2 Haldex controller. You can upgrade the controller to a blue controller and get more aggressive (earlier and higher torque levels) transfer of torque to the rear wheels.

    The car reverts to FWD mode when the brake pedal is touched - it takes a competition Haldex controller (a step above the blue) to remove this feature and maintain torque to the rear under braking.
    Nothing to see here...

    DIY: Install Canbus LED turn signal on R36

    DIY to install CANBUS Leds for the R36 front turn signal.

    After doing some researching, I've found that my R36 has a similar type of connnector as found in the B6 Audi models (ie. reversed polarity connectors like the CK socket configurations ie. positive & negative swapped at the turn signal connector which is why Leds would not work when installed).
    3157 Led Tail Light & Turn Signal Selection and Trouble Shooting Guide
    So I confirmed the polarity using a multimeter and tests using wires & LED as a test platform before going any further.

    There may be other solutions but I choose this path.
    1. Will need the following items (~30min):
    - 2x Canbus Bay9s/H21W Leds (be mindful not to get LEDs with a large dimensions too as they may not fit into the hole in the turn signal assembly) I've still got a balance of 2 after selling 2x to Timlin. or 6pcs/lot high quality free shipping 9 SMD5050 bulbs ,baY9s lights,h21w led auto,baY9s canbus lights-in Light Source from Automobiles & Motorcycles on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group
    - 2x automotive waterproof connectors from Jaycar Automotive Waterproof Plug & Socket Set - 2 way - Jaycar Electronics
    - wire stripper, (+)screwdriver + crimping tool

    2. Disassemble the turn signal housing using a (+) screwdriver.
    3. Remove the housing and then twist the turn signal bulb assembly to remove it from the housing.
    4. Remove the bulb and cut the wires making sure its long enough to install the connector in between. Install the wires and reverse the polarity at the new connector (brown wire to green wire vice versa)
    5. Reverse the procedure for re-assembling the turn signal housing.
    Done.

    Does the R36 Haldex Coupling have a replaceable oil filter like the R32 golf?
