What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2018 Audi A3 Quattro

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your A3 Quattro's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your A3 Quattro and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2018 Audi A3 Quattro to maintain its performance power. Follow Audi's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Audi A3 Quattro Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2018 Audi A3 Quattro drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your A3 Quattro might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Audi A3 Quattro.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2018 Audi A3 Quattro? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Major repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.

2018 Audi A3 Quattro Drivetrain Questions

When you have drivetrain problems, you have driving problems. Check out our top 2018 Audi A3 Quattro drivetrain Q&A below, and visit your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care with any drivetrain concerns.

  • 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.
  • What are the symptoms of a damaged Audi drivetrain system? Noises toward the back of your Audi A3 Quattro, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • How often should I come in for Audi A3 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.
  • Why is my A3 Quattro malfunction indicator light (MIL) on? A multitude of problems can activate your A3 Quattro’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.
  • Can you clear the A3 Quattro check engine light on your own? Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my A3 Quattro serious? If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your A3 Quattro, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.
  • Does my A3 Quattro drivetrain include the transmission? Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your A3 Quattro’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your A3 Quattro forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
