Can Audi service save me money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How often should I come in for Audi 80 Quattro differential service?

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

Is it possible to reset the 80 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 80 Quattro's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.
