How does Audi drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

How do I know if my Audi drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Audi A3, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Audi A3 differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a A3?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your A3’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the A3 check engine light on your 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 A3'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.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my A3?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your A3, 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 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your A3’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your A3 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2022 Audi A3

Your A3’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 one of the most complex systems in your A3 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2022 Audi A3, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Audi's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

Audi A3 Drivetrain Repairs

We can help repair all of your 2022 Audi A3 drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Audi A3 may need driveshaft attention if you feel resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. 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.

How much does it cost to fix your 2022 Audi A3 drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
