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.

31 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

I think Dell unsubscribed to this thread too. Probably not LSD. Check your option codes (204 or something comes to mind...) Then check with Timothy Leary.

POST 20 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

where can option codes be found ?

POST 21Original post

Quotes source post: 4704573

Do you mean the specific option codes for your car or an option decoder that will tell you what each code means. For the specific options installed on your, check the sticker on the inside of the trunk lid, or on the inside front cover of your maintenance book or owner's manual. For a "translation" of those codes, on the left side of your screen click on General and then on Opt. Decoder. Whatever codes you can't find there, post them here and we can help find the missing codes.

POST 23 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

HELLLP !! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ASSISTENCE !! i have option code 220=locking diff 40% so im assuming this is a LSD correct ? If so now that "WE" have resolved that....some say in this car with a LSD theres an additive (anti chatter) that has to be added. When i spoke with a mechanic he said that at the dealer they use Mobil 1 75-90 and HAVE NEVER USED ANY ADD'L ADDITIVES !!! cant find these codes 002,XRR,014,222,376, and 580 i found the rest and again thank you.

You are welcome. Do all of those items match with what is on the car? Please re-check option XRR, is it XRB?
