The 02 will have the awfull bevel gear AWD setup. I beleive the 03 should have the Haldex system, but you need to look into that further. For sure the 04 AWDs are Haldex. What's the differnce? Ask fellow brickers that have had to repair a bevel gear setup. I have not seen a complaint on the board regarding the newer Haldex arrangement. The bevel gear was a low bid choice that Volvo went with to get quickly into the lucrative SUV market. This decission was made well before Ford got it's sticky fingers on the Swedish steel. Shame on Sven.

Good luck,

Chuck
