Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

LSD = Limited Slip Different beersinamerica ial There's a website with look the codes up out there.
POST 4Original post
My 99' 996 has code 220-locking diff., and code 222-traction control if that helps.
POST 5Original post
I don't think so. M219 is just differential code. 220 is the LSD code and they only came as an option on MY 99 and 04.
POST 6Original post
Here are M codes that were available for 996 models for diff's. I'm not sure why the M219 is listed as an 'option' as all cars have a differential but not all have the ZF type or newer LSD's. M219 Optional differential M220 Locking differential (40%) M221 Porsche locking differential M222 Traction control system M224 Automatic limited slip differential (active brake differential)
POST 7Original post
M219 is an "optional differential" because there are normally several different "standard" differentials to pick from when assembling a new car at the Porsche factory, with different gear ratios and/or final drive ratios, depending on what country the car is being sent to, and the specific model. Probably anything that varies from standard delivery in Germany is considered "optional."
