Strange question, is there a easy way to check the AWD is working properly? I'm pushing 130k miles now and lately I seem to wheel spin more often than I remember doing in the past.

Turn the traction control off and launch it hard, you'll get slight wheelspin from the front wheels until it shunts power to the rear.
Stick it on axle stands or be a chav and find some wet grass and go play

ive got a 98 v70 AWD with 190k and mine seems to spin a little more than normal, but ive just put it down to tyres getting low and the road condions, still goes sideways when put on mud/grass and pins you in the seat when i launch hard! You'll have nothing to worry about.

I haven't got one, which is why I'm not a ££££. Why the hell is a male bird setting off the swear filter?
