It appears from what I'm seeing on the US and UK forums, that the electronic diffs (eDiff) found on the 360PS and V8 models that have an electronic motor to control the amount of 'silp' via a set of clutch plates suffer.
So far it seems that contamination from the plates is spoiling the oil a lot earlier than JLR had initially envisaged going on their maintenance routine.
As the V6 S has a mechanical limited slip differential, is this also described as an eDiff i.e. electrically actuated mechanical limited slip differential?
I query this because the F-Type brochure (see photo) shows separate details for the mechanical limited slip diff which is on the F-Type S, and the electronic active diff which is on the F-Type V8 S and F-Type R.
It says the electronic active diff uses an electric motor acting on a multiplate clutch to manage the delivery of torque to each of the rear wheels. It doesn't say anything about an electric motor acting on a multiplate clutch on the mechanical LSD on the F-Type S?
In this case, from what you have seen on the US and UK forums about the electronic diff failures (which seems to be caused by oil contamination from the eDiff multiplate clutch), does this also apply to the mechanical limited slip diff which is on the F-Type V6 S 380PS?
I'm aware there’s a V6 340PS and 380PS but not heard of a 360PS?
