Brake snip Mod problems

That was not in the specs for MY 18, so either they upgraded for MY 20 or was just not listed in 18. I can just look at the part number next time I'm under the car to confirm.

As I get older, I've never been accused of having a good memory..... but I am fairly certain, this was the case back in 2018 as well. There has been zero change to the configurations since launch. I remember (again, using that term loosely), when the Stinger launched, comparing the GT trim to the GT limted trim and distinctly thinking to myself, the LSD option was worth the price upgrade alone, but also thinking that should be standard across both trims because of the power levels.

So if you have a 2018, GT Limited, Canadian car, you will have AWD and LSD.... I'd bet beers on it

You owe me beers! It’s new for 2020. Mine doesn’t have it and the Kia literature now shows the 2020 with lsd. If you spec a 2019 you can see it doesn’t have it.

Beers...... :)
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
Yes they do. When you up to the "Limited" Trim, you get LSD (Limited Slip Differential), with the AWD

Interesting, the downloadable brochure for the 2019's makes no mention of the LSD.

So from what we have surmised, apart from that I now owe some beers to my new friend from the prairies, is that in 2020, they introduced (silently I might add) LSD to the GT Limited AWD trim in Canada, but 2018 and 2019 don't have it..... even though my senile old a$$ could swear I saw it someplace that it did.... oh well. I would add and remind, I have a 2020, so I in fact have an LSD in my car LOL
 
Coincidentally enough I'm from the prairies as well :D
I hadn't made it to page 2 before posting :rolleyes:
 
Interesting - glad to see they've added LSD to the 2020's. IIRC, there were supplier availability issues for that differential when the car was introduced, so excluding it from the initial runs of AWD cars might have been a forced, late decision.

Might have to take a 2020 for an extended test drive now ... through my garage ... :p
 
The usa one shows that you get a lsd as well with the upgraded trim but when you click it, it reads limited slip only available on rwd, somone with a Canadian car could jack it up and test.. i would guess the are not

Yeah, in the US we not only pay more for the Stinger, but we also don't get the AWD w/rear LSD. The only trim that has it is the GTS trim for 2020. It sounds like the CDM equivalent is the Limited.

Back to the topic at hand. Brake snip!
 
Log it. Its either overboost or low fuel pressure, probably both.
 
Not that I'm aware of. Only AWD Stingers with LSD (Limited Slip Differential) are the GTS, which I haven't seen one in Canada yet. All AWD are otherwise open diff with brake based "differentials."

The G70 can have AWD with a LSD (Limited Slip Differential) diff though.
Nope all Candian 2020 GT Limited comes with LSD ...
