(I drive up it just for fun, we don't actually have real hills in the Netherlands that NEED AWD...) Can I pull a fuse and give it a try? Or will this mess so much with the traction control that it won't be an actual comparison and should I ask my brother-in-law with his V70 D5 FWD to compare against my V70 D5 AWD? Not sure he would be game (somewhat off-road) I have a video of this, but my son shot it and messed up the slowmo setting on the phone by accident and for dramatic effect walked on the stairs next to the hillclimb. So not a very steady shot. I want to try to film it both in FWD and AWD to show the difference. With the lack of snow, it is one of the very few opportunities I have to show e.g. the wife that AWD makes sense __________________ Ex police Jan '04 V70 D5 AWD geartronic, and I've got the antenna-holes to prove it.
