No Mate.

it has a electronical diff though with esp on.

 

[Richardhaunter]

Is it good?

If anyone of you guys have driven a Car with Mechancal LSD, how is it compared with this electronic LSD?

no, it's a joke.

EDL - it applies a brake to whichever side is spinning, but only at low speeds (like up to 15mph)

An torque biasing LSD is a great improvement to the 'electronic diff' No comparision.

No comparision whatsoever.

So does that mean that after the 15mph speed, EDL is disengaged and a mechanical LSD will work to full effect?

Any other impact apart on any other system driven by the hall effect sensors on the wheels?

Or do we HAVE to wait for code which increases the ratio of turn between the 2 wheels before it kills power?

Just for note in the future, everything above this is for the pre-facelift.
Which works differently to the facelift mk2.

yup, EDL will not be working over a given speed - in all honesty they only ever work when you almost apply full lock & WOT.

Doesnt the new shape Cupra come with LSD?

 

[Rampage]

It's still an electrical system.
