CJ Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 On the VIN plate in engine bay Axle Code - A0xy x will = 1,2 or 3 y will = A or B (A=NO LSD / B=LSD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptik Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 Thanks CJ Any way of knowing this without viewing the VIN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Thanks CJ Any way of knowing this without viewing the VIN? Only way is to open the diff up and have a look.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Only way is to open the diff up and have a look.... get it up in the air hold one wheel and get someone to turn the other. If its an open diff only one will turn, if an LSD it will turn the 2nd wheel after about half a turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I still think looking at the VIN plate is the easiest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darragh Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 only one way to find out is to diff hher if she goes round with ease then she has a l.s.d. if she acts gay and spins one wheel (look for smoke) then she doesnt have a l.s.d.

AndrewOW Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 a340e a02b = lsd right?? Holy thread resurrection, Batman! I also need to know too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 a340e a02b = lsd right?? Yep, LSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Excellent, but no use in the slushy/snowy conditions at the moment, as only one wheel turns at a time, which doesn't get you anywhere fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that where an LSD works to your advantage? I would have thought an open diff is the worst to have in slippy conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
