Title: How much is a LSD for DSG fitted.... What have you paid??
Post by: Kiwi on July 19, 2011, 12:44:42 pm: Looking at getting an LSD for my Ed30, as on a track day it showed up big style that clearly this car needs one.

So was wondering what other people had paid to have it fully fitted, and if there are any things I should be aware of having one fitted??

Post by: berg on July 19, 2011, 02:32:29 pm: I think with prices having risen and vat at 20% you will do well to get fitted for under £1750.00.

I just had wavetrac lsd and sachs clutch fitted - £2100 from statllers and vwr quoted same price (this does not even include new SMF/DMF)

To the OP I think the best way forward is to ring round a few of the more well known places, specifying DSG, and go from there. :smiley:

Post by: Kiwi on July 19, 2011, 02:49:43 pm: You can buy the Diff for the below, from nearly anyone, all that the same price. So it's down to fitting costs I think ??

DSG 2WD incl bolt kit

QDF19R

£775.00

Post by: berg on July 19, 2011, 03:22:09 pm: yup think my wavetrac was about £900.00 from uncle sam. first impressions = agree with mat ed30 and RR - the diff is best mod you can do BUT is only worth doing if you plan to keep your car for minimum 5 yrs I would say otherwise keep the £ in your pocket for your next steed.

Post by: Janner_Sy on July 19, 2011, 06:35:32 pm: depends on the LSD as well

Quaife
Pelequin
Wavetrac.

think iwht the quaife you have to buy the fitting kit ontop which is over £100 iirc, not sure about the other 2 but from what i gather the wavetrac is pretty impressive

Post by: MAT ED30 on July 19, 2011, 06:54:35 pm: Also when buying a quiffe you get an awesome warranty with it too as I think Steve p just had his replaced

Post by: h4rdy on July 19, 2011, 07:06:57 pm: 8 ish hours labour at 55 plus vat.

Then the diff.

It's pretty much a one way street so I would make sure your 100 % and going to keep the car.

Worth it though apparently.

Post by: berg on July 20, 2011, 11:08:27 pm: wavetrac has lifetime guarantee too.

The biggest difference i have noticed so far is when you pull away in first and second - get the power down so much better and in the wet esp only comes on if you really try to smash it in 1st. not tried too much powering out of corners yet as am easing myself in slowly.

the only one which comes with the fitting bolts is the peloquin as supplied by BDM so that it the most cost effective option.

End of day = they all work well whichever one you go for so it depends on which tuner you want to use and what they stock/recommend.
