Transfer case whine and viscous coupling wear
The rising drone between 40 and 60 mph on AWD cars, a bench test for the viscous unit, and the fluid that is routinely got wrong.
X400 · 2001—2010 · Saloon & Estate
Torque figures, fault codes, part numbers and inspection notes for every engine and drivetrain variant. Written to workshop standard, checked against factory documentation.
Cabin and engine-bay fuses after the facelift, including OBD, seats, mirrors and the audio amplifier.
Pre-facelift cabin and engine-bay fuses, including the early OBD and PATS feeds.
A five-pin relay and two extra wires so the mirrors fold on the second lock press. Will not work on memory-seat cars.
Tank-module pin-out, relay location, chafe point above the rear axle.
12 V negative earth, battery negative off before work, open versus short, shared earths, and why you never backprobe ECMs on the Databus.
Glovebox cabin box, left-hand bay box, same-amp renew only, relays that click, and the earth list. Full maps live under A-049 and A-059.
Watt and base list for lamps and cabin lights, hot glass caution, clean contacts, and how each common bulb comes out.
Headlamp with bumper off, fog from below, saloon and estate rear clusters, number plate lamp, and high-level stop. Aim detail is A-311.
Battery off, column fully down and out, vent trim, surround screws, then the cluster. Sealed unit; a replacement needs coding.
Wipers and security live here. Battery off, lower facia and pedal panel clear, unplug, release the catch, slide the GEM down off the ECM.
Arm nut 17 Nm on the spindle marks, scuttle panel, three fasteners for the front motor and linkage, bottle that also feeds tailgate and headlamp wash where fitted.
Bags in wheel, facia, A-pillar headlining and front seats. Self-test 2 to 6 seconds. Battery off, wait one minute. Store pad-up. Torques listed.
Lighting switch prises from the driver facia, window and mirror pads in the door trim, clutch switch twists out, handbrake switch under the console.
Ultrasonic bumper sensors, cabin beeps that go solid under 20 cm, module in the spare well, sensors out with the bumper.
Intervals, fluids and consumables by variant.

The rising drone between 40 and 60 mph on AWD cars, a bench test for the viscous unit, and the fluid that is routinely got wrong.
The two failure modes that account for most lean banks on the V6. Smoke test, gasket numbers, idle MAF window.
Blocked scuttle drains flood the passenger carpet and take the body control module with them.
Where it starts, how far it usually goes, and the points a tester reaches for first.
