02J Limited Slip Differential

The Peloquin 02J Limited Slip Differential is engineered to improve traction and performance for vehicles equipped with 02J VW transmissions. Unlike conventional open differentials, this limited-slip unit actively transfers power to the wheel with the most grip, significantly enhancing acceleration and stability, especially during cornering. The differential housings are robustly constructed from either 4320 or 8620 steel, ensuring durability under demanding conditions. This comprehensive kit includes all necessary components for installation, such as bearings, a speedometer gear, and a bolt kit. To ensure correct fitment of the bolt kit, buyers must specify the year and month of their vehicle. The product is also backed by a transferable limited lifetime warranty, offering peace of mind. This differential is compatible with a range of Audi and Volkswagen models. Specifically, it fits the Audi TT MKI FWD 180HP up to March of 2004 (for vehicles with a 114mm ring gear), and various Volkswagen Golf IV and Jetta IV models with 1.8T, 2.0, TDI, and 12v VR6 engines. It is also suitable for the Volkswagen New Beetle models with 1.8T, 16v, 2.0, 2.5L, and TDI engines. Some sources indicate compatibility with vehicles built up to September 30th, 2003, with potential crossover into later 02J models. It is crucial to verify fitment using a vehicle selector or by consulting ECS Tuning's application list, as some fitment notes advise using the vehicle selector for confirmation.
