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 do I know if my Audi drivetrain is damaged?

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?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally 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 the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my A3 Quattro?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your A3 Quattro can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can my A3 Quattro malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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 A3 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 A3 Quattro.

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.
