led to believe mine had one in a while ago and when they are in (which they do bolt in straight forward) you struggle to top the gear oil up and think i had to fill mine up through reverse switch but some others on here might know an easier way round this hope it helps mate

also i have a great mk4 lsd box willing to swap for a mk3 lsd one pm me
