    Diff lock Question

    Hi, i have a question: Till today when i exceeded the 25km/h the diff lock was switched off automatically! Today (2 degrees above zero on the Onboard display) the diff lock was not going off!

    Do i have a problem or when it shows the Ice sign (on the dashboard) it does not turn it automatically off in order to cope with low traction conditions??

    Thanks

      i dont have an external temp sensor but i always thought it was a speed related disengage rather than anything else. I think maybe you have a problem with the vacuum line or something. Can you manually engage/disengage it?

        Yes, i can totally enggage-disengage it! And some days ago it was automatically disengaged by the speed of the vehicle! Only today i have noticed that it was not self disengaged and thought that it has maybe something to do with the temerature outside!

          you have to engage it manualy, and it self diengage men you reach 30km/h

            Yes, that happened all the other days but today even by 60 km/h it does not disengaged automatically!

              I think i have a bad Blue-White wire contact! Today with 0 degrees Celcius it has worked ok like allways! So as it seems it is not so clever to not-gisengage itself on icy conditions!

                  Tested my diff-lock in a car park covered with frosty leaves the other day... disengaged fine on it's own, was about freezing out... must say, it made me grab an armful or opposite lock in a hurry
