What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2010 Audi A3 Quattro

Your A3 Quattro’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Audi, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2010 Audi A3 Quattro, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Audi's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
