Anyoe have problems with the AWD on a 98 V70 R?

posted by  someone claiming to be delgado on  Thu Aug 8 12:42 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I've had several 850s. I bought a 98 V70 R AWD. Other than it is a bit slow in the mid range (IPD powerpack will be coming along), I was wondering if anyone has had problems with the AWD system. Since I have an extnedned warranty until 100K, I want to knopw what I should look out for.

No problems with mine, and the power pack is installed with a manual boost controller. The power pack ecu limits max boost/power until 4500 rpm by design. Scott @ IPD tells me it's to preserve tranny converter. I installed the mbc and set boost to 15 psi (also installed accurate boost gauge). There is no mid range lazyness now! I also put synthetic atf in transaxle, hopefully it will keep friction/temp down a bit.
