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.

Hopefully you can source good used replacement parts if you wan t to restore the AWD that you should have.

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

Discovered PO did this. Did this screw up the PSM? Should I keep it off? It runs fine on or off but I haven’t really beaten it yet. Car is a 99.

POST 2Original post

As long as the sensors are in place at the wheels, PSM will continue to function normally. Sorry to hear about the discovery. Hopefully you can source good used replacement parts if you wan t to restore the AWD that you should have. It still won't be cheap... front axles, diff, and transmission.

Sorry late reply. Thanks! I actually prefer 2wd. So turning PSM off should be fine?

POST 4Original post

I have heard that the PSM light may come on when you convert the RWD on Tiptronic transmissions. You did not mention your PSM light coming on so I'll assume you have a manual transmission. On my 996tt I converted to RWD by removing the front-drive shafts, front differential, and Cardan shaft. I have no lights and PSM seems to work fine. I believe PSM would only come on when wheel slippage is detected under power. Since you are no longer powering the front wheels, they would never slip like they would if they were being powered and lost traction.
