Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my 100 Quattro?

Can you clear the 100 Quattro check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1990 Audi 100 Quattro

Your 100 Quattro drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles.

Care for your 1990 Audi 100 Quattro to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Audi's recommendations.

What Are Audi 100 Quattro Drivetrain Repairs

Your 100 Quattro might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.
