    Could you mod a FF to just be rear wheel drive and avoid the PTU failure altogether?

    The question has been asked many times before but apart from a somewhat dubious influencer on youtube, nobody ever claims to have done it.

    And now that a permanent fix for the PTU is available for c.$10,000, the more pertinent question is; why would you bother modding the car rather than fixing it?

    10k doing the work yourself or is that factoring in parts and shop price?

    Drive in and drive out.

    Search Parkes or SSAutotech.

    I just had my Lusso's PTU prophylactically addressed by Micah at www.hollywoodmechanic.com No affiliation, but he was very professional and efficient. He has also come up with a better solution for the hydraulic line failure others have implicated in the PTU failures (see below).

    I am not sure what the other two charge, but if I remember correctly, his price was around $9k. I brought the car to his shop for the work in Los Angeles, which he correctly estimated would take 3 days.

    Contact him through www.hollywoodmechanic.com I'm sure he will be able to provide some useful information. No affiliation, just a satisfied customer
