CLK_Burnout...LSD???
Hi,
I own a W209 200K. The only modification i` ve done is pulley (Vaeth) + Intercooler.
Well... I de-activate ESP, BAS, ABS... and i do a nice, but little Burn out. (I love my tires
)
I thought that only one wheel spun, because we don` t have a LSD on our CLK` s.
Rear left or rear right...
When i got out of my car, i looked down at the street (where i did the Burn out), and there were skid marks from both my tires...
What does this mean?
-Does my car has a... LSD???
-No! So what happened?
Have a nice day...

It's normal if you launch hard w/esp off.
With esp on, it can save your tires :p
I did it once (w/esp off), the tire print is "S" shaped
and hitted the sidewalk after

This is what i`m trying to say.
I know that wheels spin, if you launch ESP Off.
Our cars don` t have LSD. Supposed only ONE rear wheel spins, cuz the differential gives power only one (rear) wheel each time.
Am i right?

I'm not that professional to full answer it.
new MB models don't have LSD in hardware, true !
But those esp/asr ...stuff are trying to simulate LSD
softwarewise.
The factory differential is capable of doing 20~30% (?)
distribution, off the esp, you can still twist.

I de-activared ESP, BAS, ABS, but the "softwarewized LSD" did work.
I think that ESP exists (even on Dyno Mode), but it doesn` t block the wheels, only helps them to to find a better traction.
