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.

Thanked 23 Times in 23 Postsive 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.
