Seems to be quite variable how quickly the "black frog spawn" builds up.
Mine needed cleaning at 2 years/15,000Km, and I'm going to have it cleaned at 3 years to see how bad it is then, and therefore whether it needs to be cleaned every year.
There are a few theories around as to the possible cause. One I can debunk is different haldex fluids are better than others, as it is all the same fluid, regardless of which bottle it comes in (made by one factory in scandinavia is what I read).

I've ordered some haldex oil in so lets hope cleaning filter and oil may fix it... but I realise this isn't likely to solve my problem as the pump has likely died now..
But I will use the oil again if/when I replace the pump. Hopefully I can get a pump earlier next week but haven't heard from vagparts yet....

VAGPARTS are way too expensive, any reasons you went there?
My default store is Genuine and OEM Replacement Car Parts Online | BMW Volvo Audi VW Mercedes Porsche Saab | FCP Euro being that they give life time replacement warranty on anything you buy, even brake pads!!
Little tool I use is PartInfo.org: Car Part Makers
Put the part number in there and you can locate the OEM supplier.
