XC Haldex vs. Viscous Coupling V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be LarryU on  Tue Sep 14 12:39 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hi all,
Been a long-time 855 Turbo owner and investigating the V70XC. Been reading the posts here and researched the previous posts on the site here. My biggest concern is the AWD system. The pre-2003 models used the viscous coupling, and the 2003-on used the Haldex electronic system. My question to all of you "experts" is this-which is more reliable? I get the iumpression there weas trouble with the viscous system disign(hence the design change). I am meticulous about caring for my vehicles and understand about thte tire rotaion principles and fluid changes, etc. Been looking at th 2002's due to $$$'s. Should I bag it and spend the extra bucks on a 2003? Thanks in advance for your input...
