When should I come in for Audi 5000 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1985 Audi 5000

Your 5000 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your 5000’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 1985 Audi 5000 to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Audi's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
