4 wheel steering SVX on ebay?

I sent the seller a messagelast night asking if that was indeed true or if he somehow got confused with AWD. He sent me a message back saying that the car was indeed a 4 wheel steering version. I thought that USDM versions did not have that option.

It doesn't. No USDM models got active 4WS. They got I think what we call passive 4WS, but not what he means.

The USDM models do not have 4WS.

There has been some heated discussions about this in the past.

It is original 92 US model, and will only have the "passive" 4ws built into the rear suspension.

It looks a mess. I'm a magpie for SVXs and I'd walk away from that.

Hiya,

If it has 4ws like Phil's and mine it will have the warning light saying 4ws below the car picture & next to the Cat temp warning light on the top left of the dash unit.

As far as I know the US or any other country apart from Japan ever got an active 4ws system?

So that's what the light means. Catalyst Temperature. I thought it was something to do with the transmission or diff. Presumably then the sensors in the cats, behind the O2 sensors, are temperature sensors. That explains a lot. Thanks Darren.

Phil.
