Can Audi service save me money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Audi drivetrain system?

Hear noises toward the back of your Audi 200 Quattro? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Audi 200 Quattro differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a 200 Quattro?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your 200 Quattro can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Is it possible to reset the 200 Quattro malfunction warning light on my own?

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 200 Quattro'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 200 Quattro.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my 200 Quattro?

A drivetrain malfunction in your 200 Quattro should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my 200 Quattro transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 200 Quattro’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your 200 Quattro forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
