How do you check the viscous coupler? V70-XC70 98AWD

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike Harris on  Tue Feb 6 16:08 CST 2001 [RELATED]

This one is for John O or Rich K. I read in a post yesterday that there is supposed to be a way to check viscous coupler functions with a floor jack and a torque wrench. Any truth to this, and if so, how?

I have over 55,000 miles on my AWD, and I am curious.

Also, thought I would mention my experience with PBR deluxe dustless front brake pads. In only a year, I destroyed a set of rotors by overheating them with these pads. The symptom was a delay in braking action when the pads/rotors were wet from a slight drizzle, until the pads/rotors dried off. I would have to exercise the brakes every 5 miles or so or expect a much longer time to stop.

The problem went away with new factory pads, and stopping seems to require much less petal pressure, and the stopping distance seems 20% shorter. I guess I will live with the dust.

Regards,

Mike Harris in Sandy Eggo
