AWD to FWD

[Ocean Racer]

I have a dyno day coming up in 3 weeks and they are only running FWD or RWD. This is the only real opportunity to have the XC on the dyno [thumbup]
Is there a way I can make the XC FWD or RWD for day?

[BogdanG]

In the cargo area you have a fusebox, remove the fuse nr 17 (AWD control module/DEM). This method is for XC70 -2004 for 2004- is the fuse nr 23, the fuse is rated 7.5A, brown color .

Enjoy your FWD vehicle :)

Cheers!

Next question.
Has anyone done this and dynoed their car?
Im curious to know if the figure would be the same, more or less than normal AWD mode?

[Chilled Man]

What year is your XC again ? I forget .

[Ocean Racer]

2002.

[Chilled Man]

disconnect drive shaft

IIRC 04+ is when it went to the haldex in the back.
I am almost 100% sure your AWD is no different then the 98 cars.

Chilled Man,

I think 2003 was the switch to the Haldex. At least that's what my '03 has....

Chilled Man,

Yep, that's correct according to all the official info. And as a "verification" my '02 is VC.

Cheers,

Bill

No way you can do this properly (or inproperly) and safely unless you remove the propshaft

I second JRL, if they let you do it without physically disconnecting the drive line from the rear wheels, they are crazy, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that dyno.

[Ocean Racer]

So in other words, its a no.
btw, my XC is the same as the year badged V70XC

[Ocean Racer]

Is it easy to remove this prop / rear drive shaft?

[JRL]

Not that difficult

[Adrian]

In my prev. 04 all i had to do was disconnect the ABS-module. Bottom right fuse in the front driverside fusebox. Then the AWD got no info, and shut down. I dont know if it works for the vicious-coupling-AWD, mine had a Haldex-system (XC70 (03-07) (not V70XC(01-02)) and on)

[Ocean Racer]

Jim, its purely for the purpose of getting on a dyno.
There are over $5500 in prizes to be won between 40 cars.
I want to do this.

[Adrian]

Try the fuses. If you get torque steer (or a message in the DIM saying ABS / braking system is disabled or needs service) ur good to go.

[Ocean Racer]

I will be doing the "remove prop shaft" method

[Adrian]

Good luck and have fun on the dynoruns, then! :D

Do you not understand?
He has an 02 which has the old V/C system;

NO FUSE TO PULL
NO HALDEX
NO DIM MODULE
NO PRESSURE SENSOR

The dyno is Sunday 20th Feb.
I will be dropping the rear wheels on sat 19th.
I'm also hoping I don't run into trouble with the clutch etc and drop oil.
