If it was put in by the factory when new , yes it should show on the engine plate, if put in after that, no.

You should really search. Thats probably why you didnt get a direct answer

Check this post, one of many asking the same question. It even dates back to 2005!

Not always. An open diff will spin both wheels if they both have about the same amount of traction.

put half your car up the kerb on a bit of grass, leave the other wheel on the road, then plant it (not on your own lawn obviously :-)) and see what happens, open wheeler should just tear the grass to pieces..

Thats just an option, i don't tear up lawns and i wouldnt recommend it, unless its council grass ;)

The last stated method definitely tells you nothing whatsoever apart from the fact your differential (open or LSD) is providing its intended differential action.

The idea that it distinguishes LSD from open was debunked in the thread to which Mike directs you, among other places.

I would not load up on wheel on the grass and one on tar, seen a diff die a very bad death when someone was trying that.
