cavalier 4x4 front wheels spin
cavalier 4x4 front wheels spin
as above the front wheels spin like mad round roundabouts in the rain when i give my cavalier 2.0 8v 4x4
a bit stick
i thought that the back end would drift out a bit
iv checked its got prop on and drive shafts fitted as i thought it might have had them removed or something
please someone tell me im a doughnut lol
how do i test it to make sure the 4 wheel drive system works thanks

Re: cavalier 4x4 front wheels spin
Light should come on on start up as it self checks, then go out unless there is a fault.
"No the temperature gauge doesn't work........
we've driven 150 miles today........
the heater went cold last Thursday........
they check the level when it's serviced don't they?"

Re: cavalier 4x4 front wheels spin
check the fuse box and see if fuse 19 is in and not blown,must be a reason why the bulb has been removed from the dash,blown transferbox most likely or accumulator bulb dead.
Re: cavalier 4x4 front wheels spin

Re: cavalier 4x4 front wheels spin
no way it should spin front wheels only, if its not the fuse most likely be blown oil seals in the transfer box, like many have said, do away withe the complicated hydraulic system, and go for a locked box for permanent four wheel drive, i did this on my cav tubby, as have a lot of other people with cav turbos, its one of the best mods i have done, car sticks to the road, Ads
Re: cavalier 4x4 front wheels spin
If the light isn't coming on with the ignition then the bulb has been removed or is blown. If fuse 19 is blown/ removed light is on permanently. Most likely as said, blown accumulator and prob txb seals also. The death of many a 4x4 especially as I see its been lowered 60mm- guaranteed to kill it. For reference, it is impossible with the 2.0 8v to get ANY wheelspin on the road- it simply doesn't have the power. Snow, gravel and grass however, is much different, much more fun and yes, the back will then step out . Nio matter how much abuse i give mine, only ever had the back step out in the snow.

Re: Re: cavalier 4x4 front wheels spin
Early ones didn't have a white ring, they only started putting a ring on the bulb after they recalled them. The ring is only present on the revised bulbs. If it didn't receive the recall or has subsequently been fitted with an old spec bulb it won't have a white ring.gsi pie wrote:buld is at bakc of engine with white ring on
