Anybody have info about active electronic differential for honda s2k?

Are you suggesting there is one? I'm not aware of one. I'm also not sure what you would gain over the standard gear-type LSD... I believe it is torque-biasing.

I think he's talking about a diff like in the current M3. It's supposed to be highly effective, and can achieve a 100% lockup, something a mechanical LSD can't.

Correct me if im wrong Rob, but I think my 2001 GTi VR6 has electronic locking diff...its called EDL (electronic differential lock)...it works very well, especially with FWD cars

I don't think so Ian. You have an open front diff and I don't know what EDL stands for but it could be German. I think it's just traction control.

Heh, my Corrado had traction control, and it never worked once. I could light the tires up (one or both) at any time without it kicking in.

Actually, i just checked out the VW website...the MKIV's got
ASR - Anti Slip Regulation...1.8T only
EDL - Electronic Differential Lock...1.8T only
and
ESP - Electronic Stablity Program...VR6 models only

I wonder why for 2002 only the 1.8T gets EDL??

Apparantly when I drive the GTi, i can turn off the ASR, but the EDL is always working...When i get the tires to break loose in corners I hear a clicking sound, somthing like an ABS modulator sound....I think thats the EDL...
