If LSD there will be a tag on the diff stating such.[/QUOTE]
Actually it will say "Use Special Oil" in German. If it is still there.
It was common for non-dealer mechanics to remove the rear plate to check the condition of the clutches in the differential. This is easy to do.
It was also common for them to blow off replacing the metal tag when they did.
I always check for the rotation of the wheels when I am looking at one of these. It is the only way to know for sure without pulling off the cover plate and checking the internals.
