VAG 02T (MQ200)
Plate-Type LSD | Plated Limited-Slip Differential
Applications
This plate-type limited-slip differential is compatible with vehicles equipped with the VAG 02T (MQ200) gearbox
Design & Manufacturing
Our plate-type LSDs are manufactured from FORGED Nickel-Chromoly steel and subjected to advanced heat treatments such as Super Sub-Zero / Cryogenic treatment.
Additionally, all critical components undergo shot peening and WPC treatment, significantly improving:
- Core and surface strength
- Wear resistance
- Fatigue life
The use of high-strength forged material, combined with an optimized internal design featuring large windows and multiple oil holes, results in:
- Reduced internal friction
- Improved internal lubrication
- Lower overall weight
- Enhanced thermal stability
As a result, our LSDs deliver stable and predictable performance with exceptional durability, typically requiring no servicing during the first ~2,000 km of special stages under normal competition use.

Installation Notes
Bolt tightening torque: 55–60 Nm
Recommended threadlocker:
- Loctite 271 (red)
- For maximum security: Loctite 270 / 2701 (green)
Warranty
As proof of our quality and reliability, we offer a 1-year motorsport warranty covering material or manufacturing defects across our full range of plate-type LSDs.
Important Reminder Gear Oil
We recommend using gear oils with shockproof additives or friction modifiers, commonly labeled as "LS" (Limited Slip) gear oils, specifically for plate-type LSDs.
The most common SAE grade is 75W-140 LS and only with LS specifications if a plate-type LSD is installed.
⚠️ Note: it is also advisable to add gear oil directly to the LSD during installation into the gearbox. Please note that although we apply anti-rust oil during assembly at our factory, it does not provide lubrication.
