2015 S3 DSG and Haldex Scheduled Maintenance Issue

[ahmu93]

I’ve been spending a lot of time in the forums trying to search for this specific problem with little to no results.

I am potentially picking up a 2015 S3 with ~57k miles on it that according to the carfax has all of the scheduled services completed at an Audi Wynnewood in PA. The issue I’m having is conflicting results when searching for the recommended maintenance, specifically for the S3. For some reason, I am finding some sources from Audi that don’t include the DSG/Haldex in the recommended service, while others do. I’m planning on reaching out directly to Audi Wynnewood to confirm that they completed both the DSG and Haldex services at their recommended intervals. Does anybody have any suggestions if they give me push back? As you can see, they clearly added to the carfax that they completed the 35k mile service on 10/11/2018.

Thank you all in advance!

5th Gen in on the A3 and S3

On 16 April 2009 Haldex announced a deal worth SEK4.5B (approx US$530M) to provide Volkswagen with a new AWD system for the company's new modular platform due in 2012.[18] The GenV AWD coupling, now distributed by BorgWarner TorqTransfer Systems, features a new design aimed at reducing vehicle complexity and simplifying integration into the drivetrain. A new electro-hydraulic clutch actuator uses a centrifugal overflow valve design aimed at accurately distributing power between the front and rear axles, and eliminating the need for an accumulator, solenoid valve and filter. It also employs an integrated electronic control unit.[19]
