(Do it on a sealed, private road though - Fordxr6turbo.com does not condone burnouts on public roads... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford_Power Member 798 Member For: 21y 7m 25d Posted 08/01/09 01:51 AM Share Posted 08/01/09 01:51 AM Guys, I jacked it up yesterday. It was in neutral, I spun the wheel and the other one went in the same direction (straight). No sh**. I assume this means it is clearly LSD? This is a brand new factory car. I bought it with 20 kms and it was registered the day I picked it up. I'm at 1,100km and am still running it in, so am hesitant to do a brakie, but I'm too curious so I think I am going to have to now. Will let you know the results.Please do... I am very curious about this. Can you also look at the compliance label and tell us what month your car was built?Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

You will notice that when you just tap the indicator stalk the indicators will blink three times. You can turn this off so it will only blink once with a quick push of the stalk.

It used to change lanes without steering. 4 wheel drift ... I think that was due to a faulty indicator lever!!. LOL ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done 13000Ks in my G6ET in 4 months and the open diff is still spinning both wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackg6e Member 6 Member For: 15y 10m 19d Posted 08/01/09 10:48 PM Author Share Posted 08/01/09 10:48 PM How do I access the ford database? I guess that's the only definative way of knowing...So far:1) Have jacked it up and spun the wheels- both go in the same direction;2) Did a small brakie (on a private road of course)- and it left 2 identical marks.

Ford_Power Member 798 Member For: 21y 7m 25d Posted 09/01/09 01:36 AM Share Posted 09/01/09 01:36 AM (edited) As ZAP mentioned earlier... have a look at the diff filler plug on the side of the diff. If it is LSD it will have a metal tag attached to it stating LSD oil only.I'm quite certain only the LSD diffs have the tag anyway... so even if you can't read it but the tag is there, it is a LSD.
