T6.1 Diff Lock

[TJG]

Can anyone tell me if a TDI340DSG NOT 4Motion has a FRONT ELECTRONIC DIFFERENTIAL LOCK as standard?

No such thing in 2wd, that would just be traction control.

I guess it's a kind of how to name/define things.
E.g. in T6 ABS has a function called Electronic Diff Lock - in my thinking it's a part/subfunction of Traction Control.
I'd expect it would be similar in T6.1 too.

Yea, it's called marketing

So it’s not a true mechanical diff lock but uses the ABS system (?) to ensure there is equal drive to both front wheels. Sounds ok to me. Is there a switch or something to activate it or does it engage automatically when wheel slip is detected?

Says it all - thank you! Do you know if this system is standard on 2WD?
