Series II VE SV6, is LSD standard?

[SimoHDK]

Hey All,

Silly question I know, but I was wondering if anybody has an idea.

Holden's site says Limited Slip Diffs are optional yet I spoke to their customer assistance centre and they said "I believe it come standard" - note the word believe. I asked him again, wasn't really sure. Great.

I'm heading down to a dealer soon, hopefully they will know but I don't want them to be wrong when the car arrives without one!

Any idea? :s

Standard on manual, Optional on Auto, $350 option when car is ordered, in the middle of pricing cars now.

It used to come standard with manuals, but I seem to remember it being canned and made an option for manuals after about MY09.5 ish. Definitely confirm it.

As i understood, option on auto and std on manuals.

I have a VE series 2 SV6 manual and it has a LSD diff. Its an option on the auto, unsure how much it cost.

Thanks all, good to know they can't get their facts right :|

Will confirm with the dealer whenever I head down. Cheers.

if your car has FE2 suspension it has LSD aswell, you can check this on your build plate in the engine bay

you cant option just an LSD from factory, it comes with the suspension aswell

In saying that, assuming the manual comes stock with LSD, it also comes stock the FE2 suspension? (What's FE2 stand for + whats the difference?)

I just took delivery a month ago of my new SV6 auto.


LSD was added for $350 (RRP), no suspension changes were needed. It already has "Sports suspension" (Not sure if it's FE2 or FE3)
