Also, when you start the car up and the warning lights come on, there should be a 4WS symbol in the upper left:
see picture here: http://www.geocities.com/jamsvx/4wsdash.html Also, as owner of a very rare car, you have an obligation to take lots and lots of photos especially of the rear steering mechanism!! Good luck with the sale! James

Sh*t/****e
Thanks Paul,
Exactly why the prospective buyer does not want 4WS ! Personal regards, Trevor

Is the 4WS really so unreliable? Ours has not failed - unless you count the time when a recovery truck driver ripped off the steering rod with his winch.
What normally goes wrong with it and why? P&B. |

Production of the VL stopped in'92 but Subaru still had unsold VL's in '95, by which time the JDM SVX had already been thru 2 model changes. Japanese car owners rarely keep their vehicles longer than 7 years and this has meant that many second-hand VL models have been exported to various RHD countries. Again unfamiliarity of the 4WS system by local mechanics, when something does go wrong, has not helped with the 'unreliable' reputation. Also steering parts for the VL are unique to that model and are quite expensive when compared to similar parts for other Subaru models. Checking back thru old posts on the Japanese SVX club shows 4WS problems mainly relate to sensors failing and the ECU failing. Hope this helps

4WS
I have some notes on the electronics and repair of the control unit, written by a local SVX owner and electronics engineer. He sorted out problems in his own system. I have lost track of him in the past couple of years.
