Can Alfa Romeo service save me money?

How often should I come in for Alfa Romeo 4C differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a 4C?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your 4C can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can my 4C malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your 4C's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your 4C.

If your 4C has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my 4C transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your 4C. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

2017 Alfa Romeo 4C Drivetrain Service

Your 4C’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Alfa Romeo, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your 4C and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Alfa Romeo's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
