Thread: D4 checklist for buying privately

I had a vehicle-savvy mate go over the car and condition checked out
Oh Yeah, he was so vehicle savvy he couldnt work out where and if it had a "E-Diff"
Id find another Vehicle savvy mate if I were you !!!!! LMFAO

In fact he wasn't asked to check for the ediff hence he didn't. False assumptions are the mother of all stupidity - you've managed to highlight yours without actually making a contribution, well done. The question still stands.

My D4 has the vin in the service menu on the dash....the same spot you check the oil level.

I would think you would need to switch the terrain response to rock craw and low range, then put the touch screen into 4x4 mode, and the diff will go from green to red for rear and centre diff lock.

I am assuming that it looks the same as my D4 built in sept 2011.

Well most vehicle savvy persons, would know what ,which and where to check for each particular model/make, otherwise he is not in fact "Vehicle savvy ". Dont suppose he was asked to check the Trans/convertor , or front/rear suspension bushes , or if even the VIN number matches , seeing you cant find that either !!!! a fool and his money are easily parted !

If you go to the Topix site and put in vin number it will tell you how it left the factory, including e diff,seat color, sound system the lot
Vin also on passenger side thru the windscreen

Ken, what heading on topix do you go into ? I can find a spot to input my vin :-(

Brett....

An e-diff has what looks like a very small starter motor mounted transversely on top of the rear diff, visible over the top of the wheels particularly if the vehicle is at off-road height.
