That's what I was wondering. Maybe he meant to ask if there was a way you could tell just by looking at the car....some sort of obvious clue. Dave |

Look in the engine bay. You should see the ABS module (in the lower left corner if I remember correctly). ABS = AWD. no ABS = no AWD.

well, i checked the VIN # today, and it was weird.
checked the vin on carfax and it said. 1995 SUBARU SVX L/L AWD
so, that's a start. AWD yay! secondly, just an off question, what is the L/L stand for? |

In 1995 the svx was produced in 2 different models, the L and the LSi. The LSi had everything included, awd, leather, sunroof, etc. The L had cloth, no sunroof, grey paneling and such. But in 1995 the L model had an optional "active safety package" which included AWD and ABS (maybe something else, not sure exactly). As far as I have seen all of the 1995 L svxs i have seen have had this package, but i'm sure that some do not. more info at http://www.cars101.com/subaru_svx.html

I have a 1995 L/L model........and it has leather seats, AWD, ABS, SRS......I think the optional package was probably the leather...but I'm not sure either.

That's true, but only for the 95 models. In 94 you could get ABS without AWD. Dave |

The 95 L models only came with cloth seats. Your leather seats were added on by a previous owner. Dave |

hey speaking of...
what test would the shop have to run to determine whether or not the awd is functioning? my awd was definitely not working when i bought the car. since having the transmision replaced though it seems to be. |

There's a pressure test that can be done but I'm not sure the specifics.

The 94 FWD I have doesn't have the connector installed for a fuse in the FWD slot. (In the fuse box under the hood). The slot is there, but it's blank with nothing to hold the fuse.
I guess this would be another clue. Post#700

I'd say it would be mighty easy to spin the fronts on an SVX with non-functioning AWD. dcb |
