The R does have some sort of LSD, but it's not a real one, it's an extension to the traction control. It can be specced as an extra on other Rocs.

I specced it on mine on recommendation from a golf driver, it can be activated or deactivated via VCDS which I didn't know at the time, but I've not really pushed the car into testing it out yet. I'm told it works really well though.

Is there a way of telling if you have it in your car? When I pull away hard mine is still wheel spinning through second gear.

Re: Question

All Golf GTIs have an electronic diff that as said above uses the traction control and ESP to limit the power between front wheel when cornering (called XDS) - if it senses a wheel is spinning it brakes that wheel. Assume the scirocco 2.0 TSI has the same. Will not be noticeable on a straight pull away - normally just traction control will operate with the yellow light!!. You can alter the severity of the electronic diff intervention/action using VCDS.
