Seems to be a "disclaimer" kind of thing when done in VCDS. It wasn't there in older versions of the software. OBD11 doesn't post any such message.
Haven't found any negative results, but the "Clear all adaptation values" is present in all modules 01, 02, 22, etc and all post the same warning.
Btw. The Haldex is working better than ever after having done the service, but most importantly the above procedure with it. I did it with OBD11 and did the entire 60 second pump prime as JS12 mentioned followed by the Haldex Clutch open/close procedure.
I am thinking the system is meant to work in a "somewhat" pressurized environment even when disengaged and that is the reason why the pump has 2 o-rings. Rather than keep oil from leaking, it is to keep the system from loosing pressure. May seem obvious to some, but I think most of us thought the system/pump only created pressure for the clutch packs as needed, but not necessarily meant the system itself (housing/pump chamber/clutch chamber) was pressurized at all times. I think this is why the pump priming is so important and I will do it occasionally if I start feeling the system get lazy. It's been a week since and it has been sharp 24/7. Hasn't missed a beat once.
