will this fit the mk1 vRS?????? as it says 6 speed but the year is correct. didnt think the mk 1 came with a 6 speed??????????

eBay Motors: Quaife - Skoda Octavia vRS Helical LSD differential (item 200274172467 end time Dec-10-08 13:27:03 PST)

No thats for an 02M, they even list that incorrectly on the Quaife site.

You need the 02J LSD which is number QDF10R

Jasus Billy........Is there anything you ain't gonna bother fitting too that car :rofl:

:rofl:lol:rofl:

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm dont know mate, Prob not!

Mmm

I thought the Quaife diffs were ATB (Anti Torque Bias) and that LSD (Limited Slip Diff) was completely different :confused:

So who can help with that?

Oooh yes Lummox is right , the 5 speeds are 02J on the Octy`s

IIRC the only 6 speeds they did was the 130BHP Diesels

Sarah

cheers sarah,

so whats ATB?????

Off-topic, and irrespective of the correct model, why buy it from the US for = £642 + shipping, instead of direct from Quaife for £577 ?

Sorry, irrelevant I know, just curious.

Sarah - any use?

ATB is automatic torque biasing, it's still an LSD but it works on helical gears rather than plates or clutches as per a "traditional" LSD

lol

fair one mate, wasnt gonna buy from there but i was just lookin thru fleabay and came accross it.

I do want one though as it will make the car better to drive I think?

We have an Ibiza in at the moment having one fitted

A few people have siad that it is the best mod that they have done....

No point in having power if you cannot get it down

The Quaife Automatic Torque Biasing Helical LSD Differential enables a car to accelerate more rapidly and corner faster. How?

Simply by getting the power to the ground.

With an normal open differential, fitted as standard on most cars, much precious power is wasted through wheel spin under acceleration. This happens because the open differential shifts power to the wheel with less grip - along the path of least resistance.

The Quaife differential, however, does just the opposite. It senses which wheel has the better grip, and automatically biases the power to that wheel. It does this smoothly and constantly, and without ever completely removing power from the other wheel.

In cornering, while accelerating out of a turn, the unit biases greater power to the outside wheel, reducing inside-wheel spin. This allows the driver to begin accelerating earlier, exiting the corner at a higher speed.

The Quaife differential also controls loss of traction when the drive wheels are on slippery surfaces such as ice and snow or mud, providing the appropriate biased traction needed to overcome these adverse conditions. Power is transferred automatically without the use of normal friction pads or plates seen in other limited-slip designs.

The Quaife ATB Helical LSD differential's unique design offers maximum traction, improves handling and steering, and puts the power where it is needed most. A definite advantage, whether on the track or on the street.

The Quaife differential is extremely strong and durable, and since it is gear-operated, it has no plates or clutches that can wear out and need costly and regular replacement. There is no maintenance required to the unit, so you can fit and forget.

The Quaife differential is great for street driving or racing. Racers don't have to put up with locking mechanisms or spools that tear the steering wheel out of their hands when cornering. Because it behaves like an open differential during ordinary driving, street drivers will have trouble telling it's there until pushing the cars towards its limits.

The Quaife differential is proven in everything from SCCA Rallying to drag racing and Formula 1. It provides autocrossers with such an advantage, it has become "required" equipment for a winning effort

Sarah

WOW

cheers Sarah, most helpful. Might need to get one of those, when I can afford it like. lol

Mmm

No worries , we deal with Quaife so if you need any help , just give me a shout back

I am now off to read some more

Sarah

I want i want i want ...................

but new fridge/freezer is needed instead. :(

Hi Jay

I have read about your problems with all the little things around the house

Sorry Jay , not much luck

Well at least the diff will come with a better guarantee than the fridge

Hope you get it all sorted

Fridge came with 5 year part purchased sept '2003.:(

I still want a diff and will have to wait to see if we can get a cheap mortgage as that is up in March.

I joys of owning your own house.

All mods put on hold for now.:(

Sorry my dear

What a bummer , just out of warranty then? :(

What about insurance , if you have that , claim for the stuff going off , then that could pay a bit towards the new fridge freezer

Sarah

It's on my wish list under the "dreamland" column

Current total on that list is about $25,000

The car's worth maybe $12k
