Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I heard Matt Farah of "The Smoking Tire" say he was told that if you pull up the e-brake 1-click on a C4 that it becomes a rear-wheel drive only car ....... Is this true ???

POST 2Original post

I guess it would be a neat idea to be able to convert from 4 to 2 WD if possible by the push of a button or other means. Is that possible? I have the C2 so wouldn't know. I guess I would want to know, why are 4wd deemed necessary against a C2 996 under normal dry road conditions.

POST 3Original post

If the front to rear is an open diff then if rear wheels are spinning this limits torque to front wheels to what ever the limited traction is on the rear wheels. If you apply the e brake a little (1 click) then the drag on the spinning wheels should allow more torque to the front wheels. Basically it's like how traction control works ... Sort of gives you temporary FWD. That said you don't want to be driving around with your ebrake dragging so I don't think it's fair to say it changes the car into a C2 ... And C2s are RWD not FWD ... I'd have thought the C4's had traction control already ... But maybe not.

POST 4Original post

There is no mechanical or electrical connection from the e-brake to the transmission or front differential.
